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).

BNSF SD40-2 7023 (ex-BN 7023) is a rare unit and I'm lucky I caught it. Built as Burlington Northern SD40-2 7023 in 1977, it was wrecked in 1988 and badly damaged. It was rebuilt with the long hood of retired BN SD45 6652. It was part of the power on a northbound welded rail train waiting to enter the Great Falls, MT yard on the morning of September 18, 2008.

General Motors GM EMD GT-22 Diesel Electric Train Engine - Línea San Martín - LSM (Palermo, Buenos Aires)
Credit goes to Raúl Alejandro Rodríguez for identifying this locomotive.
Here is what he wrote:
This photo is of one of the little batch of GM EMD GT-22 imported from the U.S.A. as she has the hooks to be lifted by the cranes that take it from the ship and put it in Argentine rails. The great batch built in Argentina doesn't have the hooks.
The ALCO RSD-16 was an export model. It was basically an RSD-12 but with 6 axles and a four stroke diesel engine (the 1800 HP Alco 251). The Alco locomotives where acquired in 1957 and (among other lines) where put in service in the suburban section of the Ferrocarril General San Martín. But by the seventies they where supplemented with the General Motors GM EMD GT-22 locomotives (2200 HP two strokes diesel engines). Most of them where built under license by Astarsa in Argentina. From some 10 years ago also a few second hand ex Renfe series 319 Alcos were seen in front of those suburban trains. By now there are no GM nor Alcos as they were all replaced by new Chinese locomotives CSR SDD7.- Note that the Alco locomotives are taller than the GMs and that the GMs are longer than the Alcos. The GMs have the cabin in one end of the locomotive as the Alcos have the cabin not in the middle but near one end so they have one long hood and other shorter. This photo (PHOTO ID 478407) is a good shot of the two types of locomotives (left the GM and right the ALCO) in the colours of Linea San Martín.

Photo shot by my Dad, Jay Thomson, at Williston, ND May 1984
Two F40PHs pull the westbound Empire Builder away from Williston, ND on a sunny spring day in May 1984. This was the last trip we took as a family aboard an Amtrak train. Little did I know when Dad took this shot that almost exactly 11 years later I would move from my home in Tennessee to the town of Williston, ND, and never in a million years would I have believed that almost exactly 16 years later I would be getting married there. Life's funny that way sometimes. :)

Alco RSD-16 Diesel Electric Train Engine - Línea San Martín - LSM (Palermo, Buenos Aires)
It's called as Alco RSD-16 by many local train lovers though there is no information about this locomotive in Alco's production manuals. Its appearance is very similar to the Alco RSD-12, and also MLW RSD-14.
