This sweet baby fawn was born in my front yard, just a few hours before we saw it. The mothers leave their babies alone for hours while they go graze.
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.
Rail tracks create a vanishing point in the direction of Selkirk Yard, a large rail yard in upstate New York.
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 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!

This is train 909's power on a summer morning in 1984 at the Sault Ste. Marie roundhouse. The clean GP30 is going to be trailing on the way west but is sitting in perfect light while the engine crew gets everything in order for the trip to Gladstone. In a few minutes they will back out of the roundhouse lead and go down to the west end of Soo Yard and tie onto 909 do an air test and head west about 8AM. A 30 Thursday rescan.
A small dose of sun on the side of the "Missabe Miracle" as they work the E-Lead job at Proctor yard.
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.
This photo was taken from the turntable inside the old Mildura railway yard. In all my trips to Mildura, I've probably driven past the railway yards 100s of times, but this trip made the old yard really stand out. This was originally going to be a B+W photo, but this version won. In the end I went for a vintage type colour feel.
This site has a great write up on the railway history of the area: vmrs.net/mildura/section1/Mildura_Railway_Yards_and_Sidin...
HSS!
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.
Santa Fe's hot, hot QNYLA approaches Hodgkins, Illinois and GM Yard. Late eighties good times on the transcon.
