The RF01 passes the north end of Varina Yard Limits as it heads for NS interchange at Raleigh. They don't have any cars for NS today, but will bring a lengthy train back down later in the day.
A group of Rio Grande SW1200 switch engines congregate just outside the diesel shop at Roper Yard in South Salt Lake, Utah on July 2, 1976.
We are getting it again with another storm on the way for Sunday! I took this out my back door through the glass!
Our back yard Bluebirds are busy catching small insects to bring back to their house, so evidently the egg(s) have hatched. The male stopped for a moment in front of me and seeemed to do a little dance before entering the house. This will be the 3rd brood we've had in this house (2 last year, 1 so far this year!)
Getliffe's Yard, Leek, Staffordshire Moorlands.
A wonderful early 19th Century Yard turned into an amazing Shopping & Dining experience. Easy to walk past, but impossible to ignore once discovered. If Leek is the Queen of the Moorlands, Getliffes Yard is certainly the jewel in her crown.
I was sitting out on the patio early this morning when this one and his/her twin and Mom came wandering through the yard. I think one day I will be sitting there and a bear will wander through. Then the camera will be doing some clicking! LOL
To celebrate the release of my first book I'm finally getting around to uploading some of the missing images from The Older Industrial Parks Near Newport, Victoria
I saw this yard full of interesting stuff on our way home yesterday and had to take a few shots of it. A departure from my normal landscapes but a change is as good as a rest they say!

CN 1439 drills hoppers in the yard at Brantford. This unit only lasted 4 hours at Brantford before being swapped out for different power.
It was accidentally set off the day prior by CN 435 and 580 ended up using it because of their power running out of fuel. Talk about stars aligning.
A small dose of sun on the side of the "Missabe Miracle" as they work the E-Lead job at Proctor yard.
A pair of EMD SD40-2s seen sitting under the erstwhile Coaling tower of Chesapeake & Ohio RR, presently owned by CSX at Sandy Hook Yard, Lynchburg, VA.
While out driving came along this gem. Funny thing about photography, sometimes you don't need an amazing river, mountain or ocean to make a nice image. Just some nice light and the right conditions...
It was very late in the U23C game on LS&I when I caught the 7AM Hill dropping down into West yard with 2301, 2303, 2304 and 2300 leading 120 loads. I believe it was the only time I ever caught 4 U23C's operating on one train on the LS&I.(or any other railroad lol). Ex BN U30C's had taken over most assignments on the railroad by the time I shot this on July 11, 1989. Also of interest on the far right of the frame is my Dad's 1987 GMC pick-up that he somehow trusted me with to railfan on this day. The U23's are long gone but the 87 pick up still resides in Dads garage and I take it for a few drives every summer.
After switching Rockwood for 2+ hours, the Crab Orchard bound train departs town with FIMX 3138 at the helm over the "Junk Yard" curved trestle. It's a steep climb from the interchange to the tunnel on rain soaked rails, but with three units online, and a reasonably short train in tow, it was easy work for the veteran engineer.
Soo yard in Sault Ste. Marie MI used to be quite a bit bigger back in the SOO/WC days in comparison to now(now basically consists of a couple long tracks, the former DSS&A and SOO mains along with a couple stub tracks). Back when I shot 6626 leading the ACLD toward the I-Bridge there was plenty of track still to be found here. May 6, 1996.
Santa Fe's hot, hot QNYLA approaches Hodgkins, Illinois and GM Yard. Late eighties good times on the transcon.
November 29, 1988.
Three Burlington Northern Santa Fe trains wait to depart the yard at Sheridan, Wyoming, on June 14, 1997. The coal train led by BN EMD SD60M No. 9245 has yet to get a fresh crew, but the other two are ready to go. The intermodal train on the right, with leased LMX GE B39-8 No. 8516 leading, will depart first.
