This is the same train I posted earlier, just different angle
These train tracks run along the Black River, as seen from the Great River Landing in Onalaska, Wisconsin. I got to see this train two days in a row...I don't think it moved! ha! Most of the trains I see, are on the move! I felt a little excited that I was actually able to capture a train sitting still!
Although you can't see it in this picture, just west (or above) the Black River is the French Island. If it weren't for the French Island, it would all be considered the Mississippi River! ha!
Hope you all enjoy!

This is a photo of a suspension coil on a train engine at the railway museum in Musquodoboit Harbour.
A three engine train makes a few last switching moves in Cayce, South Carolina before departing for Sumter. The lead unit is a GE B36-7 built for Seaboard System in 1985. It has since been retired from the CSX active roster.
Lancaster and Chester EMD SD60M #8782 is on the point of Train 12 in Richburg, South Carolina as the crew shuffles cars around the yard there. In this shot, the train is stretched beyond Faddis Concrete Products.
I see lots of other companies engines on the BNSF Line in Flagstaff. Perhaps they have been acquired, and just not re painted. I've been in Flagstaff a lot this summer. I have lots of train photos. lol
Norfolk SouthernTrain 337 is seen here leaving Rock Hill, South Carolina in May 2006. NS 7553 was a General Electric ES40DC built in December 2005 and pressed into service before being painted. She was later given the horsehead treatment and then re-rated to 4400 horsepower.

Came across this in Western North Carolina. The owner told me it was purchased from a railroad in New England. I think it was North Providence RR. Definitely not the Northern Pacific.
Seemed rather odd sitting on one hundred feet of track that went nowhere.
On September 6, 2015, two Kansas City City Southern motors power a Norfolk Southern ethanol train over Harden Street in Columbia, South Carolina. KCS 4583 is a GE AC44CW built by General Electric in 1999 as KCS 2008. Most railfans prefer the paint scheme on the second locomotive, commonly called the Southern Belle scheme, but I actually am partial to the old grey paint on the first engine.
Originally SP 8257 (built 5/1980) i then became Union Pacfic #8802 before being bought by Gulf & Ohio Railways and assigned to the Yadkin Valley Railroad as YVRR #6002. The crew eventually left with 2866 and 6002 in tandem on the head of the train.
Savannah & Atlanta 2715 is on display at the Central of Georgia Railroad Museum at 601 W. Harris in Savannah, Georgia. It was the last of 11 GP35’s bought by the Southern Railway with full S&A lettering in December 1964 and January 1965. The S&A had been owned by the Central of Georgia since 1951, so when the Southern obtained control of the CofG in 1963 it also got the S&A. These units were eventually relettered SOUTHERN with S&A sublettering on the cab, and this was later changed to CG. This loco was retired by the Norfolk Southern in October 1992 and donated to the Coastal Heritage Society in Savannah, where it has been restored as S&A 2715.
She was built in 1965 as Southern Railway GP35 #2715. The Savannah & Atlanta was part of the Southern Railway system by this time.
It's April 25, 2006 and this Lancaster and Chester Railway train is approaching the Springdale Road bridge in Lancaster. The crew is guiding the heavy train enroute to the Archer-Daniels-Midland plant in Kershaw.
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.
El pasado verano me "aboné" a la línea del Central de Aragón... y es que con los tráficos que se mueven por esta línea y teniéndola al lado de casa, uno no puede resistirse. Esta foto inauguró la ronda de visitas, donde el TECO de Logitren Zaragoza PLAZA - Valencia es remolcado por la recién alquilada 335-027. La tarde anterior el tren tuvo problemas para salir de la estación zaragozana, por lo que el tren se retrasó a la mañana siguiente para sorpresa de los allí presentes.
Black is the new blue on the L&C as recently repainted L&C SD60M #8782 shows off her dress blacks. The locomotive is ex-CSX #8782 and was built as Conrail #5562
In 2015, a South Carolina Railroad Museum brings a short train of passengers to a stop jusst short of Highway 321 in Winnsboro. Back in those days,crew members had to walk ahead of the train and flag this crossing.
The battle with kudzu was real back then. Kudzu is a group of climbing, coiling, and trailing deciduous perennial vines native to much of East Asia, Southeast Asia, and some Pacific islands, but invasive in many parts of the world, primarily southeast America. The evil wed densely climbs over other plants and trees and grows so rapidly that it smothers and kills them by blocking most of the sunlight and taking root space.
South Carolina Railroad Museum is an all-volunteer grss roots effort to showcase the history of trains and railroading in the Palmetto State.
In late 2005, a Lancaster and Chester train brings a train through Richburg, South Carolina using leased power from LLPX (:ocomotive Leasing Partners). Leading the variety pack was LLPX 2036, built in 1967 as Chespeake 7 Ohio Railroad EMD GP38 3895. Since this photograph was made, it was bought by the Hartwell Railroad in Georgia. Seventeen years later it retains it's same number and well as paint job.

This image fascinates me......I placed my camera lens on the outside window ( looking inwards ).....in doing this, I got reflections of the present world, contrasting with a historic train from the past.
Look carefully at the outdoor reflections....during the process of blending the past to the present.... do we see John Lennon?! (ghost?)

Lancaster and Chester Railroad Train 14 approaches Fort Lawn, South Carolinna in May 2017. The train is passing the spot where the L&C once connected with the Seaboard Air Line Catawba to Great Falls bracnh line via a bridge. As business dried up around Great Falls, SAL ancestor line CSX moved the interchange with the L&C to East Chester on their Hamlet, North Carolina to Atlanta main line. The Great Falls line was shut down and the area here and under Highway 9 was filled in.
This is a close-up HDR photo of details of rivets and bolts on an old train engine at the Musquodoboit Harbour Railway Museum.
I found Clinton Terminal Railroad CF7 #2480 sitting at the makeshift railroad office in February 2006. CTR 2480 was built in 1956 as Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe (ATSF) F9A 286. Santa Fe then rebuilt her to CF7 specification and remubered her ATSF 2480. Next she was on the South Carolina coast wearing an Atlantic Coast Line-inspired paint scheme as Waccamaw Coastline (WCLR) 2480 before taking up residence in North Carolina as CTR 2480. Since this photograph was made, she was sold to Great Lakes Locomotive as GLLX 2480.
December 30, 2008 was the first time I caught all three GP38s in their Springmaid Blue paint scheme. Here the crew are pulling cars from the CSX interchange in East Chester, South Carolina.
On a mid-winter day in 2014, CSXT C40-8 7573 sits at the old Seaboard Air Line yard in Monroe, North Carolina. The locomotive was built new by General Electric for CSX in 1989. It has since been retired.
A Hartwell Railroad crew runs through Lavonia, Georgia as light engines after spotting some cars at an industry nearby. They are heading back to near the old depot where they left their train before tying up for the night.
Hartwell 1973 is an EMD GP38 built as Pennn Central (PC) 7874 in 1971, to Conrail 7874. It was then CSX 1973 before being sold to the Hartwell Railroad.
Meanwhile, Hartwell 3044 is an EMD GP35 built in 1965 as Denver and Rio Grande Western (DRGW) 3044.
Lancaster and Chester Railway heads southeast out of Lancaster on the former Southern Railway SB Line.

Lancaster and Chester Railroad passes through the small hamlet of Elgin, South Carolina with Train 14 in 2016.
Lancaster and Chester Railroad #3821 was built in 1978 as Conrail GP38-2 #8235. In the Conrail takeover, it became Norfolk Southern #5368. NS sold it to Hems Leasing where it became HLCX #3821. Helms leased it to the L&C who then later bought the locomotive.
Johnson Railway Services has been providing locomotives to CMC Steel in Cayce, South Carolina. This Alco RS1 was built for the Washington Terminal Railroad in 1951 as WATC #63. It later worked as Carolina, Power & Light #63 and eventually ended up on the Johnson Railway roster.
The Washington Terminal Company (reporting mark WATC) is a corporation created in Washington, D.C., United States, to provide support to railroads using Washington's Union Station. It is now a nearly wholly owned subsidiary of Amtrak.
Carolina Piedmont GP38-2 3899 is on the head end of a high and wide load through Simpsonviille, South Carolina in 2013. The locomotive was built as Southern Railway GP38 2740 in 1969. A few years after I made this photograph, Genesee & Wyoming painted her into their corporate paont scheme and renumbered her 2007. As of late 2022, she was still earning her keep on the CPDR.
