Returning from Boise Cascade north of town the local is backing in with a few cars. A B&O alumnus.

There's a maintenance blitz on the for Clinchfield so the thru freight SB has been rerouted on NS and the consist is also interesting even in those days.

An upgraded 39 is rather rare. This former C&O is an example, in an interesting and very nice looking roster.

Waited to be moved into winter hibernation this classic looks splendid in the afternoon sun.

Coming off the line to Waycross, as most do, a mixed freight is heading south with a former Conrail unit in charge, back in the days when this was a day trip for me. I do like those red lights on... (more)

By the time of my first visit this former C&O beehive of activity was far past its prime, silent, a couple of dead units waiting for the next call, and hardly a soul around. Disappointing, but h... (more)

Charging uphill with a short freight on a great charter weekend.

The daily turn from Brewster is putting his train together for the return trip. This entailed one of their originally MP, ex UP units marching by several times as they doubled over. The Wheelin... (more)

Hey, a chase train can have its moment in the spotlight. Her a veteran of PRR/PC etc. is looking great after decades of drabness. Beautiful bygone schemes like this make me fearful that ugly is ... (more)

Rolling along SB at a spot called Morefield Bottoms the annual Santa Train looks spiffier than usual but nowhere near as nice as the 2024 version.
