Parte de las vacaciones de verano del año 2011, las aproveché junto al bueno de Mon para darme un garbeo por el norte de España y conocer lugares nuevos y visitar viejos conocidos. Uno de esos puntos que tenía pendientes, y que tenía ganas de descubrir, fue el ferrocarril Aboño - Trasona. Fueron un total de dos jornadas en esta línea... siendo la primera poco productiva, pero, cuando uno de tus primeros trenes está formado por tolvas Carfe y remolcado por un par de GECOs (¡qué ganas les tenía!), se te van todas las penas.
UP 4-4-0 119 approaching Golden Spike National Historic Site, Utah again after her runby. Now, they'll bring her to a stop for the day until she returns to the shop for the evening.
This is not the original locomotive. The original UP 119 was renumbered 343 in 1882 and sold for scrap sometime in the early 1900s.
In 1975, a team of experts in California were tasked with recreating - without any blueprints - UP 119 and the "Jupiter". The locomotives at GS NHS are the result, and are as authentic as they can get based solely off of photos.

A Lancaster and Chester train approaches the small hamlet in Douthern Carolina with SW900 90 leading,
Lancaster and Chester #90 was one of the last two SW900 locomotives to roll off the Electro-Motive Diesel (EMD) assembly line, both built for the South Carolina shortline. She spent sixty years working between her namesake ciities before being sent off the the Kinston & Snow Hill Railroad in North Carolina.

In Burnaby early 1900s, a train crew returned from lunch and found the train they had left sitting on the rails had disappeared.
There were bubbles coming out of the nearby peat bog where the tracks crossed and the tracks had slumped. The engine had sunk into the bog.

The Legend of the Lost Locomotive.
Where is that train buried?
Published Sept. 13, 2003
By Dan Hilborn, Burnaby Now assistant editor:
It is one of the most fascinating tales of Burnaby's past. Told and retold for almost 100 years, the story of the sunken engine has always seemed pretty straightforward.
The crew of a train sent to deliver a load of ballast to shore up the new railway lines built over the peat bog around Burnaby Lake had stopped for lunch on a fateful summer day at the turn of the last century.
The men apparently walked several miles for an extended lunch, and when they came back, the engine was gone - sunk into the deep muck.
But local amateur historian and former Burnaby parks commissioner Tony Fabian disagrees with the most common version of the tale.
After searching for old newspaper stories and talking to some of the original settlers who lived in the area when the train disappeared, Fabian has come up with his own version of what may have happened.
Fabian doesn't believe the train crew was stopping for lunch. Why would they walk two miles to a hotel on the north side of Still Creek, as alleged in one early version of the story, when it would have been a whole lot easier to have simply stopped on firmer ground, he asks?
Fabian's theory is based on the kind of neighbourhood that developed in central Burnaby at the turn of the century when the logging crews were just finishing the job of clear cutting the central valley, and as the first squatters were moving onto the newly opened farmland.
On a slightly rainy April afternoon, the 69-year-old Fabian brought out his walking stick and headed down to exact spot where the train is believed to have sunk - about 100 metres from the intersection of Roy Avenue and Douglas Road where Beecher Creek crosses the rail line at the rear of what is today a parking lot.
"The newspapers say the guys went up that hill to a hotel for lunch, but I don't believe it," Fabian said, as he pointed his walking stick north towards the Lougheed Highway.
"The nearest hotel would be almost two miles from here. Why would they walk that far?
"We know there were little squatter shacks all around the hills here. And I figure there would have been a little entertainment there," he says with a twinkle in his eye.
Fabian may have some inside knowledge on the true story. He's lived in the neighbourhood for 47 years and was an acquaintance with one of the area's original residents - Phil Haquill, a squatter who was the last farmer in the city to plough his land with horses.
In their many meetings as young men, Fabian learned that there was at least one 'speakeasy' - an illegal drinking establishment - in the neighbourhood where the crew stopped the train. The old Royal Oak Hotel was infamous in its day, primarily because it also was home to a brothel.
Whether the brothel was the actual reason for the sunken train or not, nobody left alive today really knows for certain. But Fabian notes with suspicion that all of the old reports of the sunken train gloss over this pertinent fact.
For instance, the Columbian newspaper story that sparked his interest in the tale features a lengthy interview with Nap Peltier, the last surviving crew member of the missing train.
In the interview, conducted in 1959, Peltier tells reporter Bill Hastings that the train was lost before railway line was complete.
"One day when we got there it was close to noon so we did not dump the gravel and went to lunch. There was a hotel nearby and this particular day we spent more time over lunch than we should have. When we got back the train was not there. All we saw were the tracks going down into the muddy water, with bubbles coming up. ... There was trouble, oh, yes, there was a lot of trouble."
Could Peltier's version have glossed over the juicy bits of the tale? Burnaby historian Jim Wolf said Fabian's bawdy house theory fits perfectly with some new information he's uncovered since he last wrote about the story in Pixie McGeachie's beautifully crafted coffee table book Burnaby: A Proud Century.
"It's true," Wolf says emphatically. "They walked up to the Royal Oak Hotel, where the Safeway is today. Back then it was a notorious brothel."
Wolf's current understanding of the facts also casts doubt on some of the other less titillating aspects of the older version of the tale.
The ballast train may not have sunk in 1906 when the tracks were first built, but may in fact have gone down in 1912, when a massive sinkhole appeared on the boggy railway line and shut down passenger service for several months.
Wolf, an assistant planner at city hall, has found photographs which show an old steam engine train travelling over a built section of railway bed around the Still Creek bog, where a crew of workmen appear to be filling in a massive sinkhole.
The picture, which shows the creek passing over a small trestle, matches the geography of the Beecher Creek site where farmer Haquill alleges the train went down.
Fabian, however, believes there are two sunken trains. The first, which was completely lost in 1906 during the bawdy house incident, and a second train, which lost only a few coal cars when it was swallowed by a sinkhole in 1912.
"The coal train sunk just east of Holdom," says Fabian, who has spent most of his life exploring Burnaby Lake. "You can still find lots of coal lying around there. At least two cars sank.
"But the first train was an old engine pulling two loads of ballast, and it went down because they built the railway too cheap and fast," he says.
The trainmen, old farmer and hotel employees have all since died, and the neighbourhood has undergone dramatic change. Haquill's farm is now the City of Burnaby recycling depot, and city hall has given the name Sunken Engine Creek to a small waterway not far from where the incident actually happened.
Wolf believes that nobody will ever learn for sure what truly happened with the sunken steam engine, and that's just fine for him.
"That's the wonderful thing about the bog," he said. "Because there is no evidence, we really don't know what happened. Is it true? I'm not sure we want to find out."
For Fabian, the important thing is to remind people today what this city was like back in the days when the railway ruled the country and Burnaby was a rather unexpected stop along the line.
"I think it's important for people to remember," Fabian said. "This is the way stories go. First it's a story, then it's a myth, and then, if nobody remembers, it gets forgotten."
And Fabian wants to make sure that the legend of the lost locomotive of Burnaby Lake does not get lost itself.

A two-train meet is taking place on the Lancaster and Chester RR in August 2017 as Train 14 (facing us) and crew prepares to drop their train on the main line and then take the siding on the other side of Train 12 to the right of the photographer. The two crews will trade trains and 14 will head back toward Lancaster while 12 finishes up work before returning to Chester.
Lancaster and Chester (LC) #2829 is a former Southern Railway EMD GP38AC built in 1971. Upon that railroad's merger with the Norfolk & Western, it became Norfolk Southern (NS) #2829. It was then sold to Gulf & Ohio Railways where it worked for a number of railroads including the Wiregrass Central and the Chattahoochee & Gulf. When these railroads were sold to the Genesee & Wyoming, G&O took the engine to Knoxville and chopped her high short hood, then sent it down to the L&C in 2013 who painted her blue in their classic Spring maid blue paint scheme.
Meanwhile, L&C #6002 is on point of Train 12. That locomotive was still relatively new to the L&C when this photograph was made. She was built for Southern Pacific as SP 8257 in 1994. When Union Pacific took over that railroad, she became UP 8802. UP sold her to Gulf & Ohio Railways who eventually assigned her to the Yadkin Valley Railroad as YVRR. She also wore Knoxville Locomotive Works marks, KLWX 6002, before being assigned to the Lancaster and Chester.
This not a great shot. I was battling the sun as this was made right after 12 noon, the dictionary definition of high sun in July. There was also the weeds and brush growing trackside. But I could not resist shooting a two train meet and am glad I did.
When the railroad was locally owned by the Springs family, the ROW was kept nearly immaculate all along the entire 60-mile road. I routinely saw the late Ed Sharpe here on his tractor mowing the grass. Since the G&O bought them, care along the ROW has taken a nosedive. It has gotten much worse in the five years since this shot was taken which is a pity.

...but, here in this province a former premier, Brian Peckford, and his government did just that.
The Newfoundland Railway operated on the island of Newfoundland from 1898 to 1988. For economic reasons, it was constructed as a narrow guage line. With a total track length of 906 miles (1,458 km), it was the longest 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) narrow gauge railway system in North America.
Passenger service officially ended in July, 1969 but the line still existed and the freight trains continued to run. However in December , 1987 the provincial and federal governments signed a deal worth $800 million (CAD) for highway improvements, and removed the provincial government's opposition to the pending abandonment of the railway. On June 20, 1988 it was made official that the railway in Newfoundland would be officially terminated on September 1, 1988. Following that termination, trains continued to operate until the snow fell, working with salvage crews to remove the rails from remote locations, particularly in the Gaff Topsails between the Exploits River and Deer Lake, Newfoundland and Labrador . The last train operated in Newfoundland in November , 1988.
I was driving west across the island that day, too, and crossed the Arnold's Cove overpass (I think that was the one) just as that very last train was passing underneath. I stopped and managed to take a shot, from the rear, of the caboose and last cars (film of course) as it wended it's way west. I guess I still have that photo here somewhere ... but, I haven't seen it in ages.
It was not exactly a fast train ... in fact, during the war years it picked up the nickname, Newfie Bullet, because of that fact. However, it got the job done and every trip taken on it, it seems now, was an adventure ... from interesting people met, long conversations, and romance to the car coming alive with impromptu jam sessions by those that happened to have musical instruments; from being stuck in train-high snow drifs on the Gaff Topsails until another train came to plow you out, to the meticulous service in the spotless dining car.
Now it's all long gone ... tracks and cars somewhere in South America, I believe. There are a couple of railway museums on the island ... but, scenes like this exist only in memory or have to be manufactured.

Por desgracia, no pude ver a las 250 tirar de trenes de pasajeros (aunque por suerte tengo un vago recuerdo...) pero al menos pude disfrutar de ellas viendo como remolcaban pesados trenes de mercancías. Con diferencia, el mejor lugar donde las disfruté fue aquí, en Fayón y con trenes como el de la imagen, un papelero Girona - Zaragoza.
Hoy cada vez que las veo languidecer en Valencia - FSL me entra algo malo...
