Same thing different day.
When your out on a road trip, you whip a U-turn on the highway and your wife asks you....."what the heck are you doing".
You comfortably say I'm turning around to take a picture of that beautiful locomotive.
I'll start
I always loved the green Burlington Northerns that ran through my neighborhood in St Louis Park Minnesota when I was a kid

Former Reading 5517 built in July, 1962.
While we're in Indiana, here's one from 1971...
Taken on the Monon's Maple Hill Branch, which served a number of quarries and mills southwest of Bloomington. It came off the main at Clear Creek, then wandered northwesterward. We lived just west of Rockport Road (which the RS2 is crossing) on Fullerton Pike for a year before we followed dad (after completing his MBA at Indiana U) to West Germany where he was ostensibly assigned to HQ USAFE (but was really assigned to a beyond top secret unit that actually operated under command of the JCS, AFTAC.)
Sorry about the quality, but at least it's better than the Monon caboose pic from the same era and location.

I took this at Canyon Hot Springs. It's all downhill to the coast from here.
Amtrak P42DCs fresh out of the paint booth at Altoona, circa Oct. 1998:

A slightly different "road picture".
This is April 1984, on the (then) Conrail Harlem Line just north of Dover Plains, New York (where it becomes Metro-North to Brewster, and eventually G.C.T.).
We'd gone up to Wassaic to do our work, and I believe this was taken on the return in the afternoon, waiting for clearance to back down to Dover, get the train switched out, and then head back to Danbury.
I had brought the camera this trip so I got it out, walked down to the rear steps, climbed down and took the picture.

Great looking locomotives posted here. Ar ar arrr!
Look at that Nose!
Duluth, Summer of 2017. No Road name visible..... (Edit) Found it. Erie Mining Company.
It's Erie Mining.
Thanks Backshop. I had found it and was editing while you were posting
Here's so pics from a Montana roadtrip from just over a year ago:
Here's MRL GP9 (GP9R I guess...) number 118. I caught her while driving around Missula, looking for some railroad action!
And as we headed west I shot BNSF number 7207, which is an ES44DC. Though it may appear that 7207 is leading a train it is really pushing this BNSF freight.
Finally is MRL 4400, an SD70ACe that was paired with a sister and an SDP35 if I recall correctly. The lashup was in Livingston moving into position to help a BNSF freight up Bozeman pass. I did see the same train from I90 later, but couldn't get a good picture of it to to obstructions.
Well that's all the locomotive pics I have for now! Hope you enjoyed them!

Just caught this one a couple weeks ago...
This is my favorite historical train, LC&M Alco in Port Henry, NY.
My dad had to take the train last week, so more trains!
We get stopped by this one all the time in Plattsburgh.
I could go on and on...

Long hard climb through the Rockies.
If engines could talk they'd be say'in "almost there boys, let's get'er done!"
Across the valley from Banff with 50 km to the continental divide where it is all downhill to the coast from there.

Was just in Banff a couple of weeks ago; beautiful up in those Canadian Rockies. Saw plenty of CP power. Question: who is Canotek (Sp?) and what do they manufacture? I saw a unit train of their covered hoppers passing through between Canmore and Banff along the Trans Canada Highway.
Duplicate post.

That would be (campotex) Potash from Saskatchewan.
Between all the coal and potash and wheat and Canola, we send to China, we are sending the whole country one railcar at a time.
Another shot I took.
Between trains, there is no other scenery in the world that makes sitting on the side of a hill more enjoyable. July 25, 2015, spent the day with the kid watching bears and trains.
One of my great pleasures is the reaction of tourists from elsewhere on the planet as they seem to be in such awe of the size of the trains and sheer power used to push them. The line from Banff through to Revelstoke is filled with train nuts on vacation, including me.
Turn up your sound.
Excellent models from NARC.

Here are a few pictures I found. Where I work is right next to the BNSF 2 main line track running through the Kent valley in Washington. Everything comes through, BNSF, UP if their track is getting worked on, Amtrak, Northwest Cascade, and the Sounder. Everytime something unique comes pass by I dont have the cell phone. A Ferromex came through last week. Month ago there was a CSX.

Thank you, Ed

I like them all as I'm sure you do too.
Milwaukee Road number 261 Gourmet Express & MR 32A stopped in St Louis Park Minnesota to pick up passengers 2 weeks ago.
Do they have to be living engines?
The Spiral Tunnels replaced the "Big Hill" which was a 4.5% grade on the CPR mainline. Needless to say, such a grade left a trail of carnage. Still there today and may be taken in with a short 3km hike where you will see many ghosts from the past.

No..... old parts are good Brent or the unrunning. That's the way I feel in the morning before I have my coffee So why not?

I wonder if this little baby could even pull itself through the Rockies.
