I've been chasing around a new buck in the front yard but he's pretty quick to make an exit along with many of the other does. This one always stands around. I don't know for sure but she could be one of the babies from our property and has known us all her life.
A former SCL GP38-2 sits idle in the yard at Neville Island in April of 2012. PS applied to remove some junk.

Visiting Andrew Barclay 0-4-0 saddle tank ‘Caledonia Works’ (Works No.1219 built in 1910) hauling a rake of chaldron wagons through the yard at Beamish, glimpsed from the back yards of the pit worker's cottages. The 'Pug' was delivered new to Stewart & Lloyd’s Ltd. Clydesdale works, Mossend, where it worked with the company's fleet of around ten other four-coupled Barclay locos until it was moved circa 1951 to Andrew Barclay's Kilmarnock works for use as their works shunter. It was acquired for preservation in August 1970 and since then had spent most of it time on a private railway in Cambridgeshire. Since April 2021, it has been resident at the Pontypool & Blaenavon Railway.

Since I raked a lot of leaves this week, here is Connecticut Southern CSO-4 doing their own kind of yard work at West Springfield. After running around their pickup, they'd shove east back across the river, and turn south to head home.
The MBTA's office car special is at about MP 0.2 as they near the south end of the Framingham Secondary and are about to enter Amtrak's Northeast Corridor mainline at Mansfield Interlocking. They are passing the little used CSXT yard on this section of the line that is normally freight only excepting the occasional football or concert train from Providence to Gillette Stadium.
The train consists of new theater car number 535 (former 1515) named 'Mayflower'. The train also includes the other two office cars number 529 'Constitution' and number 525 'Minuteman' along with 534 (former 1503), one of two specially wrapped revenue geometry cars (only along to meet timetable minimum axle requirements). All four cars are rebuilt 500-series MBBs, among the few survivors of a fleet of 67 cars (33 blind and 34 cab control) built new in Germany in 1987-88. Leading the train are heritage units 1129 and 1030, the former a GP40MC dressed in the 'cranberry' scheme and the latter an F40PH-3C dressed in Boston and Maine Minuteman livery.
The train operated from South Station down the Dorchester Branch to Readville, then via the Franklin Line to Walpole, then down the Framingham Secondary to Mansfield, then Amtrak's Northeast Corridor to Davisville to the Seaview Transportation Company where it was turned on their wye before returning straight back via the direct NEC route. On board were MBTA and Keolis officials inspecting recent track and signal projects and looking at the new platform at Foxboro station recently installed to support the flood of passengers for next years World Cup matches to be held at Gillette Stadium.
As for the railroad, built as the Mansfield and Framingham Railroad in 1870, the 21 mile route between its two namesake points came under the aegis the Old Colony Railroad in 1879 and then the New Haven in 1893 when that system absorbed the OCRR. 40 years later passenger service ended, but for the past 86 years the line has been an important freight route. Passing from the NH to PC, CR and then ultimately CSXT, the line was sold by the latter in June 2015 to MassDOT for $23 million. In 2019 passenger service returned to the four miles of the line south from Walpole to a new Foxboro station adjacent to Gillette Stadium and the Patriot Place complex, and that portion was transferred to the MBTA and is maintained and dispatched by Keolism. The balance of the line is dispatched and maintained under contract by Mass Coastal but still served by CSXT which owns the perpetual freight rights and still runs four freight trains a day on this line five days a week.

It's just another day at Norfolk Southern's Inman Yard in Atlanta, GA. One of Union Pacific's cross country stack trains has just arrived.
The 2017 Santa Train waits for the Saturday morning departure from Shelby Yard. Thanks to CSX for allowing a few of us to have a night photo session here.

I would have bought this chicken but it wouldn't fit in the back seat. It would have made a great birthday present for Linda.
We started getting a little snow after dinner. I put the camera on a tripod and shot this 8 second exposure out the window. The yard is completely dark to my eye but the camera picks up the lighting from the park behind us.

Just after a heavy downpour, 73962 is joined by 57310, 73128 & 73136 in the sunshine at Tonbridge West yard. A couple of 375 units are seen arriving and departing Tonbridge 11/9/25.
Eastern coal loads N904 are rolling down E02 track with a train of 90 Bethgons for the JH Campbell generating plant in West Olive. There's not a GE in sight as the coal train's pair of SD70MACs pass inbound Q335's pair of SD40-2s, which were tied down after cutting away from their train in E06 due to their crew being short on HOS. The tracks here are, from right to left: the NYC Transfer (since removed), Service, Main, E02, E04, E06, and E08. E02 was the perfect parking spot for these eastern coal trains waiting to head to the plant, being able to just hold a pair of engines and 90 cars.
