Wow

Well everyone, what great trains, thanks to you all for posting.  jrstengel - others may not have recognized it, but we lived nearly 20 years (1970-1987) in Dayton only 50 miles north of Cincinnati and visited often.  I clearly remember the brand names in your train "Skyline" chille and Kahn's meat plus others.  Great train and a memory lane trip for me.  samparfitt - what a spectacular trestle!!  Super shot of the streamlined steam engine on the trestle.

Best wishes and thanks again to everyone for posting

Freight operations dropping off some freight in Paradise, CA. Fictitious of course! I hope you enjoy.

Something from Finland. Local paper pendulum with 2x Dv12 on the Hanko Harbor-Kirkniemi Papermill, Ekenäs bridges. This was a really nice shooting trip.

That is a really nice photo.  Looks like in the morning looking west past Krakholmen (?) Island.  You said "shooting", any other photos of those Dv12s?

An old 1656 has found itself in the employ of the Union Pacific for this run, hauling what is definitely a "mixed" freight considering it's cargo of cable reels, sea otters, coal, and pet food.

Today's freight train is being pushed.

Ron,

Thank you. You are well aware of the location. Here are some Dv12 pictures from other shooting trips as well. The Dv12 series is now worth filming, as it will disappear in the next few years, with the Dr19 series replacing it.

Thank you.  That is really an interesting engine.  It is fun to see equipment from other countries, especially those freight cars to the right in this photo.

I enjoy these photo topics a whole lot better when the poster provides some information about what is in the photo (location, equipment (real or model), etc.).   Thanks.

Took the Lionel 746 out today for a few trips on the layout. https://youtu.be/fECAh__aLfE

I need to get a better camera!

Re-geared, can motor, TCS 1517 decoder and LED's installed.

Sound turned off for several seconds to hear how quiet the engine runs.

CGW freight.  

Sunday run.

Let’s see your Freight Trains.

Here's a 1950s era freight being pulled by a Union Pacific 4-6-2 Pacific.

BNSF Intermodal

NIght freight.

A East Tennessee & Western North Carolina coal train passes the barrel factory at Winner, Tennessee.

When we had our store, we ran all freight trains.

Here's one from north of the border.

BNSF grain train.

A long freight train passes by on the main line past the engine storage yard.

Double headed Union Pacific mixed freight with some Western Pacific, Southern Pacific, and Santa Fe freight cars. SD70ACE takes the lead in Legacy Western Pacific paint scheme.

Conrail freight....and a midwestern road freight.....

Let’s merge😅

Slow speed exiting the yard.

Atlas O Erie Built AB, both powered with sound

Here's some Santa Fe freight action.

I thought I'd share a video I recorded today of Western Pacific GS-64 #485 pulling mixed freight after completing all the repairs from the Paradise disaster. This is another camera angle I don't usually shoot videos from, and you'll catch a view outside my bay window and maybe a pedestrian passing by. LoL

FYI - The Lionel WP GS-64 is TMCC from 2004 with the first version of Odyssey and it doesn't maintain speed as accurately as a Legacy locomotive. Also, when I first got this locomotive (NIB), I thought the chuff was a little slow, like one chuff per 2 revolutions. So, I ordered a Super Chuffer II and the Programable Chuff Generator from @gunrunnerjohn and installed and dialed it in. Sounds so much better!

And here it is.

let’s see your freight trains.    We haven’t posted your freights for a while.

Pic use a PRR coal train on the South Fork Railroad.

Did this video of Southern Pacific Freight last night including my latest purchase of a Lionel SP Silver Round Top Over Night Boxcar and some new K-Line SP/UP PFE pulled by LionChief SP Black Widow F7 AA Set.

Oil tanker freight through My Little Town (great song by Paul Simon) in upstate NY:

Locomotive is an MTH PS3 CSX diesel that came with a set. I've seen a similar real CSX diesel hauling oil tankers along the Hudson River near West Point. Arnold

Coal train pulled by Western Maryland F3 ABA units on the SOUTH FORK RAILROAD.
