Ok Christmas Eve, 4 Westbound BNSF trains sit lined up on the siding tracks at CP 550. Coal City, IL
Railfirst B80 and VL353 use the Fast Line through Warragul, operating Qube's 9476 Maryvale Paper Train from the mill to Melbourne's Victoria Dock.
B80s time being leased to Qube and ownership with CFCLA may be up, as it has been rumoured that it has been sold.

Harkening back to a time when waves of armor yellow painted SD40-2s were standardizing road power on Union Pacific's portion of the Overland Route, a trio of North Little Rock 'rebuilds' burst out of Hermosa Tunnel with the newly introduced 'Laramie Hauler'. Still a match for the task the trio of EMD workhorses still look right at home against the snow dusted granite faces of Wyoming's Sherman Hill.

Having executed a perfect 'rolling meet' at Bealville the Mojave Sub Dispatcher has kept an eastbound BNSF Z moving up the mountain, while Union Pacific's ZLCLT and its colorful headend consist continues on its quest for Northern California.

Under muffled clouds, 20K tons of California bound manifest has a quintet of road jacks (3x2xFRED) down on their hands and knees just below Cobre, Nevada on what was once Southern Pacific's portion of the Overland Route. There are still several miles before the worst of the grade will be achieved at Valley Pass, giving the crew plenty of time to name the sagebrush along the right of way ;)

Along way up these stairs after work . Many people use these steps to go to downtown Calgary, in the morning and must climb them home, talk about a work out. Some of the stair are behind the trees if you look at yesterdays post you will see them all. Thank you for viewing.
Story time: On our way to the LS&I in Marquette, MI, we spent the night in Saint Paul. The next morning was spent catching various trains around the Twin Cities. We were driving along the river and we noticed the UP bridge was down and signal was lit. We barely missed the head-end of the MSSAL on the bridge and decided to make our way to the walking path in the event of a nose-out DPU. There was another photographer already there and he asked how we were planning on shooting this train. We replied that we were hoping for a nose-out DPU and he said, “there is. It’s the 1943 as a manned helper.” Needless to say we were completely shocked when, sure enough, 1943 came around the curve, headlights on, shoving the train.
Taking the long way to Englewood Yard, MFWEW 03 creeps down UP's Galveston Sub, aka the GH&H, east of downtown Houston.
Seemingly freshly minted Hoover, 50008 'Thunderer', lives up to its name as she makes a spirited start from Totnes station up the infamous Rattery Bank - one of the three significant inclines on the route between Exeter and Plymouth collectively known as the South Devon Banks.
While it's not particularly visible in this view Rattery Bank starts almost at the end of the platform and lasts for just over 4 miles varying between 1 in 45 and 1 in 80, before easing to 1 in 90 and then increasing to 1 in 65.
The route was such a challenge in steam days that an extra loco was required for the heavy expresses, and later even the diesels wouldn't treat this route lightly with any weakness potentially a source of delay, or worse, an embarrassing failure. It wouldn't be the first time I've ridden up where, even under clear signals, the train was barely doing 10 mph over the top.
Given the apparently relaxed ambience of the driver looking out of the side window, I'm presuming on this occasion 50008 was as good 'under the bonnet' as she looked externally. Or maybe he was just waiting for the right-hand curve a few hundred yards up the track to look back and check he still had eleven on!
Despite being withdrawn from BR service in 1992, 50008 has lived on under private ownership and has even hauled a few freight trains around the network over the last 12 months.
I'm guessing I took this from Malt Hill over-bridge before the A381 'Western Bypass' was built impeding the view looking the other way.

Evening light shines on a brand new C44ACM (ex-AC60) rebuild leading northbound MAGHO 23 towards Houston, passing Hastings siding on BNSF's Mykawa Sub.
I was a mess of a man
With washed up excuses, I know, I know
Part of the confusion is me
We both agree that I wasn't the man you needed me to be
But, oh, how I changed and oh, how I've grown
Could she believe me when I've got nothing to show?
My everything, she needs to see
The choice is hers to believe in me
'City of Potash' heads west...
The same handsome collection of Union Pacific varnish that recently attracted much attention while on the former Rio Grande Potash Branch in Utah now finds itself westbound on the Overland Route. The train is just west of Ryndon and approaching tunnel #3 on the former eSPee mainline. In the distance the eastbound main, former WP, can be seen curving away as it follows the Humboldt River through Osino Canyon.
