On the hunt for trains southwest of Mankato, the classic three point of light was spotted down the tracks west of Lake Crystal. Two GP40 variants, UP 1360 and UP 1474, pause from their work at POET Biorefining. POET processes corn into ethanol and livestock feed.
Providence & Worcester train WONR makes a pickup at the siding near Polar Beverages in Worcester Yard before heading south towards Putnam to swap cars with the NRWO crew. This days power was two B39-s and a GP38-2 all wearing proper paint. I still find it fascinating it now takes two crews to move this train the 40 miles between Worcester and Plainfield.
A little opportunistic photography on my way home from breakfast with my Dad in Wakefield. As I was heading north toward home I spied this crew at work and hopped off the highway for a few shots. I'm not sure what crew this was account it was not the regular Providence and Worcester PR-3 crew because they were down in the port working Univar.
Whoever this was (perhaps another crew taxied up from New Haven) they were using GP38-2 2007 (built new by EMD in Nov. 1980 for the then only seven year newly re-independent road) to pull and spot the racks at the Shell (ex Motiva) tank farm at the Port of Providence in this view looking down from the Eddy Street overpass with busy I95 at left. This trackage is the two mile long Harbor Junction Running Track which leaves the Amtrak Northeast Corridor main at Cranston Yard and along with it's connection, the South Harbor Track, is actually owned by the City of Providence and served exclusively by the P&W.

An Alaska Railroad crew is working Whittier yard with a pair of SD70MACs getting ready to double up a big 120N freight of mixed manifest and intermodal traffic off the AML barge up from Seattle that they will take north to Anchorage a little later.
Whittier is the ARRC's main port for interchange of both containers and railcars which arrive via the weekly AML barge from Seattle. The containers are stacked on racks two or three high above the main barge deck which contains 8 tracks for interchange of railcars to and from the BNSF & UP. The concrete structure rising beyond is the long abandoned Buckner Building, once the largest building in Alaska. And the single track at left and the tent structure beside it is the ARR's passenger 'station' which mostly serves passengers walking directly across the street to and from waiting cruise ships.

The pandemic has changed our lives in many ways -
Some for the good; some well maybe not.
Alcohol abuse has increased during the coronavirus pandemic, according to the British Liver Trust, which has reported a 500% rise in calls to its helpline since lockdown began in March.
Stay safe, get vaccinated when you can.

Birthplace of Dr. John Rae, Arctic explorer.
With some difficulty I found the crumbling remains of the Hall of Clestrain, the birthplace of Dr. John Rae, one of the Canadian Arctic's most famous explorers. The Hudson Bay Company (est. 1670) employed Orkney men starting in the 1700s and at their peak in 1800, 80% of the HBC labour force were Orkney men, valued for their sea going skills and hard working nature. It's a shame that it hasn't be better preserved. Orkney, Scotland.

MNNR's Hiawatha Job works the Mill-intense Hiawatha Corridor, among the silos and hoppers that line this industrial right of way. One of their B-Boats smokes it up as they lug a bunch of cars beneath puffy blue and white skies.
Sometimes days are gloomy and you have to do that pesky work, but it's nicer in a cozy chair with a beautiful view, promising a pleasant evening approaching...

Well I've been on a WC kick this week so why not continue that into Thirty Thursday with a couple more WC shots. The WC started up with a fleet of 17 ex SOO 30's along with other varied units. Most of the Ex SOO's were laid up in the first few years but then WC added three ex CNW 30's when the GBW/FRVR purchase was made. These three added to the 5 ex SOO's that were retained made for a nice little fleet of 30's that lasted as long or nearly as long as the WC. This is job LO-42 at Newberry with 820 and 584 on April 23. 1995. That's the "Hospital Branch" curving off to the left where most of the rail shippers in the Newberry area are located.
