Photo shot by my Dad, Jay Thomson, at Clairfield, TN in June 1976
In June and July of 1976 Dad's B&B crew was working at Morley, TN and on three occasions Dad got to ride along with the crew of the Clairfield Local in the afternoon after his work crew had finished for the day.
The Clairfield Local worked the Trevilion Branch, which was a joint L&N/Southern line from Morley, TN to Fonde, KY. L&N locals originated out of Lafollette or Morley while Southern locals originated out of Jellico, TN.
On June 8, 1976 Dad took this shot of L&N C420 1322 (ex-Monon 505) paused at Clairfield, TN.

Photo shot by my Dad, Jay Thomson, in S. Etowah, TN February 1984
Three Canadian National SD40s lead a southbound L&N unit coal train out the L&N yard on a sunny day in February 1984. These three ran as a set on the L&N and Dad got shots of them at several different locations. On the northbound track passing the CN-led train is a northbound string of empties with a Family Lines-painted caboose bringing up the rear.
Power is CN SD40s 5130, 5124 (to SD40u 6028) & 5127 (to GCFX SD40-3 6066, to WC 6936). 5130 was retired after being destroyed in a wreck in 1991.

In August of 1996 I found these two engines sitting idle in Crosby, ND. DMVW GP16 316 is ex-WRIX 316, xx-CSX 1703, xxx-SBD 4603, xxxx-CRR GP11 4603, nee-CRR GP7 901, to NPR 316, to WRIX 316, to WIRR 316; DMVW GP20 321 is ex-MCTA 321, xx-MNVA 321, xxx-BN 2038, nee CB&Q 902, to RLK 1751, to L&W 2099, to ENR 2099.
Unit 316 is also part of a fairly good debate over exactly what locomotive model it is. Most rosters list it as a GP16, but the Clinchfield had designated it a GP11. By the time CSX sold the unit, CSX had designated it a GP16 and every other owner has stuck with that. So have I.
16 years before I took this shot, Dad shot 316 as Clinchfield 4603 in Johnson City, Tennessee.

Steam locomotives at the Darjeeling train yard (India)
The two locomotives in the front (#788 "Tusker" and -#782 "Mountaineer") are warm and ready to work. One of them will be used to pull the next train, while a spare one is kept ready in case of last-minute problems with the main one. Because it takes hours to heat-up the steam boiler, the two steam engines must be warm and ready hours before the train is scheduled to leave. A railroad worker is staying up all night and feeding coal in their furnaces to keep both engines warm.
The locomotive in the back (#804 "Queen of the Hills") is undergoing maintenance.

The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, locally known as the "Toy Train", is a 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge railway that runs between New Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling (India). It is still operated by vintage British-built B Class steam locomotives. Operations between Siliguri and Kurseong have been temporarily suspended since 2010 following a Landslide at Tindharia (view photos of the landslide).
For more info about the DHR steam locomotives, read en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHR_778_(locomotive) and www.irfca.org/docs/locolists/dhr-locos-full.html.

I was just out taking pictures in my normal way and there were two other small groups there waving and gawking and taking pictures of this train, so I am curious if I caught a picture of a special train or something.
Guess I'm not particularly good at trainspotting, but at least that means I don't have to become addicted to heroin.

In August 1978 Dad photographed N&W SD45 1737 at Norton, Virginia. Look at how badly the "new" black paint has peeled and blistered on the long hood of this unit. You can see the old N&W blue showing through, and can even faintly make out the original "Norfolk & Western" lettering on the side!
