Midweek Photo Fun - April 1st/2015

I also shot this video with my cell phone of a CN train pulling some roadrailers in Macomb Township, MI.

My Home Road CN this past Sunday in Plainfield, Illinois Two Southbound and one Northbound.

The ground was white as Jersey Central 0-6-0 No. 113 ran around the Minersville, PA, station around 10:00 AM before departing with the first of 3 Easter Bunny Specials at 11:00 AM

The Reading & Northern's Lehigh George Scenic Railway sent a consist of Lackawanna "Edison" coaches and GP30 No. 2530 in Memory of Jeff Seidel, a local engineer.

I was able to get out and about a number of days this past week. Dan

UP 3880 North, ZMXDT rolls up #1 main at MO Jct. as it passes beneath US60 bridge, crew change in about 2 miles. 3/28/15

Although not uncommon on this route, BNSF power on a UP manifest is kind of rare, BNSF 4893 North, MLIAS at Charleston Jct. in downtown Dexter, MO. There are a few BNSF trackage rights trains that also operate on the Texas-E. St. Louis route over UP tracks with BNSF crews. 3/28/15.

On my way home from work this morning it was pretty foggy.  Was able to grab a few shots of the fog and rails.  Too bad there wasn't a train coming!

Not really difficult to imagine NKP 765 breaking free of that fog.  Excellent railroad photo without a train in sight.

Lunchtime on Monday, March 30 I caught the Delaware-Lackawanna on the move.  I thought it was a grain train they brought from Pocono Summit, PA.  This is Bridge 60 in Scranton.

Nope. Just an RS11 and RS3 pulling one plastics car in assembling the cars that would be delivered later that day.  

First time I ever saw this many engines on one train.

Sorry for the slight tilt in the pictures, tripod moved on the gravel just as the train was approaching.  No time to readjust.

Here are a couple shots taken this past Sunday, March 30th, at the Grafton & Upton RR's N. Grafton, MA Yard...
