From my other post of NS 911 going thru Sunbury. Here’s a pan shot of 911 with 974 passing an old D&H Depot on the D&H Sunbury Line which is now a winery. I shot this winery since 2016. I usually try for new angles.

The daily CN Gladstone to Partridge siding (Near Marquette, Mi) turn slowly snakes around the edge of Lake Michigan within the Gladstone yard limits. This train is responsible for all traffic moving in and out of the Marquette, Ishpeming, and connecting western branches, as it is the only active route to the area. Other railroads serviced are the Lake Superior And Ishpeming; and the Mineral Range Railroad; as well as CN's L'Anse branch.

Thirty nine years ago today, I took the day off from work to go explore the Los Angeles area railroad yards and photograph some trains on my birthday. When I arrived at the UP Los Angeles yard, I was very surprised to see the brand new EMD SD60 units #1 and #4! The units were buried inside the diesel facility, so I sat and ate my lunch waiting for an opportunity to photograph them. A shop mechanic saw me with my camera, walked over to the units, uncoupled them from the consist and back them out into full sunlight. He had a big smile on his face and said, "Have Fun!" I quickly put on my hardhat and started taking photos. The mechanic even revved up the engines and I got a great cassette recording of them. What a great birthday gift.
