My first train to start that beautiful Sunday, your typical K010 a BNSF leading with two NS trailing. ©2013 Christopher Goes Rail Photography

With a lot of rare trains on that Sunday, it was nice to see an older CSX (Ex. Conrail) EMD leading a train. It was rare in it's self and was the first EMD I had seen leading in a while. My friend... (more)

On a weekend of opportunities for great catches, this Q-384 made a great grand finale. Along with great fall weather and all the foreign power, this gem showed up with not just a CN that are becom... (more)

After passing Q382 on my way to CP V.O. I quickly shot back to Ben's Bridge for a shot of this BNSF Warbonnet (Fakebonnet). They are moderately rare around our area.

On a late Sunday afternoon, CSXT K041 rolls west with three BNSF Gevos on the head. I just barely had enough light on the nose for this one but it was a great catch after waiting almost 3 hours fo... (more)

Tug Cornell was built in 1949 at the Jakobson Shipyard in Oyster Bay, NY for the Lehigh Valley Railroad in New York City and was one of the Lehigh Valley Railroad's "Four Aces". It was built with ... (more)

CSXT K689 slowly passes through the small town of St. Johnsville with two BNSF GEVO's on the head.

With the last little bit Sunlight left Q393 speeds through Amsterdam on it's way west on a beautiful late summer's night. This was my fourth westbound BNSF train of the day.

This train is the one that replaced 450. I am unaware of the symbol but it was cool to see the Christmas lights still on the lead engine. CP 9714 was once part of the Holiday train and I am not su... (more)

On a hot mid summer June afternoon, Q377 the second train with a huge lashup in under 20 minutes passes some of the only history left on the Mohawk Sub, the old Canal Bridges. This was a great cat... (more)

After stopping at V.O. for a while, Q285 finally advanced. I was kicked out of my original spot due to a car parking right infront of my shot down at the diner. I was not happy but at least my sho... (more)

A nice YN2 Dash 8 leads this train west through V.O. on the summer solstice 2013. It is nice to see these old Standard cab GE's leading, it gives a break from all the wide cabs.

At first it was a disappointing night because after it was confirmed the Southern Heritage was not coming, I thought I took a ride out to Amsterdam for nothing until I heard the dispatcher call to... (more)

As the last of the storm clouds disappear, 450 rolls into Saratoga Rail Yard for the last time. This would be the only time I would ever catch it entering the yard. It is hard to see this train go... (more)

Here is a shot of CP 450 passing through Cohoes for it's last time in daylight. It was a good run and it is hard to see this train go but there will be more. This was a hard shot to get because of... (more)
