Locomotive: Norfolk Southern None	Location/Date of Photo: NS Lafayette District at MP D-282.0 Williamsport, Indiana, USA November 18, 2009
Locomotive No./Train ID None None	Photographer: Jim Sinclair Contact Jim Sinclair + Add to Favorites

Remarks: On my way to work this morning, the dispatcher calls to inform me I72 left a track indication between Attica and Marshfield. After obtaining Track Authority, I put my hyrail truck on the rail and found my first broken rail this autumn. This is not a typical broken rail; most are simple vertical breaks and once temporary bars are installed, trains are generally allowed to run over the break at 10 MPH until the rail is replaced. In this case, however, the seven inch gap was deemed to be too great and the rail had to be replaced before train movements could resume. I didn't have many broken rails last winter, so I hope this isn't an omen of things to come...

Remarks: On the first day of filming in Bellaire, AWVR 1206 and a "buck 1206" roll through Bellaire. The platform on the front of the dummy buck unit is to allow for filming the actors in the cab. I'm pretty sure Denzel Washington and Chris Pine were on board for the session.

Locomotive No./Train ID MILW 261 Unknown	Photographer: Joe LeMay Contact Joe LeMay + Add to Favorites

Remarks: Here's the result of the National Railroad Museum's decision - a beautiful locomotive stuck in the middle of her rebuild, now destined to Rust In Peace in Green Bay. So to the Sandberg family and the Friends of the 261: Thank you for sharing the 261 with us for 15 years and Godspeed in finding another locomotive - one that can be purchased or leased from an organization that cares more about preserving living history than making money. To the National Railroad Museum: May you close and your collection be distributed among museums that actually care.

Remarks: Crossing the Fill... A west bound BNSF manifest train, lead by the 7640, crosses the fill at Chamberlain Lake near Lyle, Washington. The weather in the Gorge makes for some interesting skies as the fisherman fish for nautical gold in the fertile waters of the Columbia River.

Screener's Choice

Locomotive: Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad EMD F9(A)	Location/Date of Photo: West Thistle, D&RGW Subdivision 6 Spanish Fork Canyon, Utah, USA June, 1974
Locomotive No./Train ID DRGW 5771 RGZ #18	Photographer: James Belmont Contact James Belmont + Add to Favorites

Remarks: On a gorgeous spring morning in 1974, the Rio Grande Zephyr train #18 climbs Spanish Fork Canyon along it's namesake river approaching the small town of Thistle, Utah. The right of way at this point would be buried in mud in 1983 when a natural landslide blocked the D&RGW right of way, US Highway 6 and the Spanish Fork River. The railroad and highway would be relocated along the hillsides at right and a new spillway allowed the river to flow under the landslide. Sadly the ensuing flood of the Spanish Fork River destroyed the junction town of Thistle, with many homes floating away in the new lake which severed a connecting 132 mile branch to Salina, Richfield, and Marysvale.

Locomotive No./Train ID AWVR 777 Unknown	Photographer: Tom Habak Contact Tom Habak + Add to Favorites

Remarks: Prior to the week of filming to take place in Bellaire OH, Wheeling and Lake Erie crews switch out the power and rolling stock of the Unstoppable movie train. The patches visible on the locomotives reveal their pre-movie paint identities. The 7375 is actually W&LE (WE) 6352 and the 777 and 767 are CP Rail 9782 and 9751.

Locomotive No./Train ID Unknown Unknown	Photographer: Missabefan Contact Missabefan + Add to Favorites

Remarks: The new rail is cut to size and ready to go so the track crew prepares for the second broken rail replacement of the day as the temperature for the day reaches a balmy negative 20 below zero with a stiff north wind. Lucky for them this one was right near a road crossing and the warm crew truck.
