With a couple of Geeps for power.

NS 267, with SD70M #2002, painted to commemorate the 2002 Winter Olympic Games leading, snakes through the curves at CP 412 in Goshen on a cold Monday morning.

With 3 SD40 Variants. Note the middle unit is original CN and has the Parking Brake wheel along the walkway on the long hood. This video will air on my channel in June. Here is the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU6aDyl1Vik

Amtrak's Pennsylvanian with P42DC 93 passes a farm near Derry/Blairsville PA in gorgeous evening light. Shortly after exiting the Packsaddle Gap, Amtrak 43 passes through a rural landscape with a handful of railroad crossings. This drone photograph captures the passenger train passing a field. Amtrak's Pennsylvanian is a State-Supported route that travels between New York and Pittsburgh over the former Pennsylvania Railroad Main Line.

With a C40-8, BLE Tunnelmotor and a SD40-2 for power. This power is about to cut away to take head room and run around the train. This whole area is a big hit in my book and I look forward to returning later this year. Before the new power shows up

This photograph captures the Amtrak Pennsylvanian train passing the site of the Westmoreland Glass Factory in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. The train is led by Amtrak P42DC 130, which has been repainted in a 40th-anniversary paint scheme featuring the Phase II livery that adorned Amtrak trains in the mid-1970s. The factory, which operated from 1889 to 1984, was a significant local landmark but had been abandoned for decades. Unfortunately, the site was partially destroyed by fires in 2012 and 2017. However, in this photo, the train passes by the factory's remnants, a reminder of its place in the community's history and its perseverance over time.

CP 7013 in heritage paint and script lettering leads CP 230 around the curve at milepost CD 379 through Kendallville, not making much speed here either.

With three SD40-2's on the point and 95 cars on the drawbar, CSX's Worthville Turn, train L411-12, looks almost like a vision out of the past as it exits the south portal of the Latonia Tunnel.

BCOL C40-8M trails second out on A432 approaching the Centralia rail yard. The only remaining active C40-8M now is BCOL 4609.

CSX 4543 leads CSX M56006 through the Town of Macedon NY on the CSX Rochester Subdivision at Wayneport Rd crossing.

Cumbres & Toltec 484 moves seven cars past the historic depot in Chama, NM.

Cumbres & Toltec 484 shuffles a passenger train around the wye and through the yard at Chama, just as the sun begins to dip below the surrounding mountain vistas

A fairly clean UP SD70M is on the point of KCS train Z-AILA. The train has just been handed over to the KCS from Norfolk Southern. Once the crew finishes their pre-trip duties and get PTC up and going, they will blast off into the night for the run to Shreveport, LA where it will be handed off to the UP for the rest of the trip to Los Angeles.

CSX M570 passes through Willow Creek Indiana with a ES44DC duo on a cold windy day.

On a rainy and very mild, almost Pacific Northwest-like summer afternoon in the Ohio Valley, the Indiana & Ohio Railway's Blue Ash Local returns to McCollugh Yard in Norwood, Ohio, after working a customer on the Blue Ash Subdivision, seen here crossing the bridge over another I&O line, the Oasis Subdivision, behind I&O GP50 No. 5013 (originally built as BN 3103). The interlocking on the Oasis Sub, as the sign notes, is known as CP RIDGE, which is still guarded by classic Pennsylvania Railroad Position Light Signals.

CSX train Q352-04 splits the classic B&O CPL signals in the small community of Pierceville on the Indiana Subdivision with a classic EMD SD40-2 leader. Even though the 8801 is a former Conrail unit, in YN3 paint she looks right at home on the old B&O St. Louis mainline.

Before being stripped down, 24M streaks by MG Tower on a pre-summer night.

K&T / Big South Fork Scenic Railway SW9 No. 106 departs the platform at the old Blue Heron coal mine, the destination for most BSFS excursions.

A lantern burns hot as Reading 2102 and Reading & Northern 425 simmer in Port Clinton in the early morning hours.
