A waterfall, a cave and a huge wedge of rock that seems to defy gravity. Unlike me on the climb down!

This E9 was built for the Union Pacific railroad back in September 1955 as their UP 957 and served them well, until it's sale to Amtrak, where it would become their AMTK 430. Amtrak retired the classic streamliner in 1982 and it found it's way to Alaska working for the Alaska Railroad where it became their ARR 2401. ARR shed the locomotive and William Gardner of Northern Railcar Corporation picked it up along with ARR 2402 which was former Milwaukee Road 32A. The 2401 was patched and renumbered 10A to pinch hit for Mr. Gardner's Scenic Rail Dining train out of Brown Deer. After the Scenic Rail Dining venture went south, or west through divorce proceedings, Gardner was able to keep the 10A and 10C and they were painted into the beautiful crimson and gray scheme. A few years later, Mr Gardner added a E9 B unit to the consist, making it the finest looking executive set of locomotives around. After WATCO took control of the WSOR, they had no desire or need for the beautiful units and shed them. The 101 would go to the Friends of 261 where it wears a handsome pseudo Milwaukee Road scheme for their passenger operation. 102 ended up at the Illinois Railroad Museum where it remains in it's crimson and gray scheme. 103, former UP, AMTK, ARR 2401, WSOR 103, ended up as SLRG 103 on the Iowa Pacific. The 103 is now up for auction and the Friends of 261 would really like to add it to their collection to match the 32A. I can't get the link to work for donations there, but if interested go to friends of 261, so they can hopefully add this well maintained locomotive to their roster.

Westbound grain loads swim 'down stream' along the northern bank of the Humboldt River at the east end of Palisade Canyon. The EMD powered train is running on Southern Pacific rails while those of the former Western Pacific can be seen along the Humboldt's southern bank.

UP GP60 1038 destroys another plow line as it passes through Rollo, IL. This was probably the most intense of the plow lines it hit on its run. Probably the biggest I've caught on camera so far.

We love travelling in the UK, varied and beauty everywhere.
What a country, especially around where we live (or am I prejudiced? LOL)
I'll let you be the judge!
Hope you enjoy.
Thank you, have a lovely day, M, (*_*)

It's candy ;)
Delicious candy, at that!
The white is bright on purpose. I wanted a decent contrast between orange-white-orange.
Taken today along with some other candy photos but those can wait.

UP 2696 (ET44AC) leads a 15 car passenger special (PSCCB3-14) to the end of North Yard for a crew change and fuel stop.
UP 6377 East rolls through the early morning fog at Pump House on the UP Kansas Sub.
It was completely socked in where I was standing, it was not where the drone was.
UP 7978 leads the MPDRV along the south shore of Lookout Point Lake in Oregon. The original line through here was built around 1912 and was down below the line’s current location, where the lake is now. In 1952 the railroad was moved to its current location along the south shore for the building of the Lookout Point Dam, which created the lake. Over 20 miles of track had to be rerouted, lengthening the route by 1 mile. Locomotive consist is UP 7978, 6822, and 9002 on the point, with UP 6310, 5743, and 6278 mid-train in DPU mode.

As clouds meander across the plains, a trio of SD40Ns, led by snoot 1598, wrap up their day's work in Eaton, Colorado. Soon the 40s will be humming along at track speed headed home to La Salle.

After a long wait for a busy Lafayette District to clear up, D93 finally has the light up the hill back towards Lafayette. The conductor climbs up on the 7111, shortly before they depart west.

One of the famed (or profaned?) double coal loads stretches for as far as the eye can see. The power is 2x3x1 with nearly 3 miles of train trailing, 276 loads, and nearly 40,000 tons. Impressive to see in person.
One from the archives shot with the old Nikon D100 which was a digital potato, but it got me away from slide film forever.
UP 3925 West up over the top of a BNSF Z-train climbing the hill, most likely a Z-SBDWSP by the time of the day.

It's March so that means the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, the world's largest, is back in town.
This year we just decided to do the carnival. We rode rides and ate fried stuff on a stick. Fried Oreos and fried cheese cake. We decided to skip the fried butter.
As many times as I'd chased and photographed trains on this railroad I'd never actually ridden it except for one short trio behind 425 from Port Clinton to Schuylkill Haven and return. But this past fall I finally rectified that with a ride on Reading and Northern train PIJT from Pittston to Jim Thorpe and return about their spectacular boat tail observation car number 7, the King Coal...which once graced the rear of the Illinois Central Railroad's City of New Orleans.
After a fun 4 hr 35 min stay in Jim Thorpe spent walking around, having lunch and beers with a friend, and photographing 2102 I'm now on my way back north on 2 hr 20 min journey to Pittston via the Lehigh Gorge and up over Solomon Gap. The train consisted of a pair of GP38-2s, power car 1257, coaches 306, 312, 303, Crown Class coaches 451, 562, dome car 4, Pullman sleeper 1127, first class lounge number 7.
Here's a view out the dutch door of the sleeper (former Boston and Maine 'Salisbury Beach') on the fireman's side looking toward the head end of the train as we cross the former Central Railroad of New Jersey bridge and roll through RIVER interlocking at MP 121.1 on modern day RBMN's Lehigh Division mainline. We are dropping down the grade and will leave the CNJ right of way and join the ex LV at a new interlocking built by the RBMN that they have named COAL.
This bridge was actually abandoned around 1972 when the CNJ pulled out of the state of Pennsylvania, but the Reading and Northern relaid the rails on the bridge in 2003 to give their trains direct access to the north from Jim Thorpe without having to travel all the way south to Packerton Junction to access the Lehigh Line for points north. The once double track bridge is now single, with the location of the second track now a wonderful paved bike bath that affords a front row seat to all the rail action. Beneath the train is the former Lehigh Valley Railroad double track mainline. The empty Main 2 is now Norfolk Southern's little used upper Lehigh Line Main at about MP 124.3 while the Main 1 is now owned by Reading and Northern and designated as their Lehighton Branch and used for car storage.
