This past weekend while driving from TX to CA, I saw a Northern Pacific extended-height gon at a steel recycling plant near Bakersfield, CA. Had to do a double-take to confirm it. Went by too fast to see a number or patch.

Traveling on the Canadian Pacific through Minnesota, 4 UP units on the point of a mixed freight. 3 of which were brand new SD90MAC-HII's and a GE in the middle of them. Couldn't believe my eyes when it came around the bend

[corwinda]

An NS C40-9W and UP AC4400 CTE as the DPU on the back of a UP freight.

Saw an interesting train today. How's this for an interesting "intermodal"?

Train number 154- CN SD75I #5675 and 19 autoracks...

[Mikeygaw]

rather interesting day.... seems to be a good deal of track work on the NEC by me... plenty of MOW trains.... saw some mixed freights (couldnt catch the loco's unfortunately) and a SEPTA LRV

and to top off the day... stopped at the Valley Forge rest stop on the PA Turnpike... place was loaded with Neo-Nazi's and Neo-Confederates... they didnt bug me any (guess being white, blond, and blue eyed helped a little) but rather freaky a times

Was out trackside this afternoon - on CN at Page BC -- saw eastbound CP intermodal transfer from Deltaport - the loco's were not that unusual - SD40-2' s # 5742 and 5745 - but they were lettered on the carbody " Expressway" - not seen that out in BC before-- anyone from backeast shed some light ?

Today I went railfanning for a short while. It was getting cloudy and I only had a few pics left on a roll that I wanted to get developed. I went to take pics of the bridge spanning the river between NLR and LR. While there I got to see:

UP 3508 (SD40-2R)
UP 3317

MP 642095
MP 642731

There were more cars but I just wrote these down.

[Mikeygaw]

was on the EL this morning... got a lovely overhead view of an Acela coming at me from the sunrise

[Anonymous]

The other day I took pictures of the Bearing Cross Railroad Bridge spanning the Arkansas River. If they turn out well I will submitt one or two to Railpictures and see if one will get accepted.

Then everyone can see the "lift" section which I think is neat. [;)]

[Anonymous]

For some reason it seems like there is a lot more NS power visiting the area recently. I see them but usually while I am on the way to work and don't have time to chase them and get any engine numbers. [:(]

[JoeKoh]

Today at lunch - 2 Amtrak GP38's 720 & 724 with an Amtrak Caboose, 2 coaches and a dozen ballast cars, heading south on the NEC, through the Wilmington Amtrak station. I guess they were taking the coaches to the Amtrak complex in Bear, DE.

[Anonymous]

Tonight on the way home I saw a D W & P boxcar. WOW, I think it is the first one I have ever seen of their boxcars. [:D]

[athelney]

Out linesiding this afternoon at Page BC - CN mainline out of the Fraser Valley , saw CN train # 306 with CN SD 50F # 5457-- leading IC SD40-R # 6007 -- not that common to see IC out this far west .

[edblysard]

BNSF 6102 (former GN575)....High Nosed SD9, in service on the Tulsa/Port daily...
Got a snapshot of it in our tie up track...old as dirt, still working.
Take that, GE fans!

[CSXrules4eva]

OK here is the order in which I saw a loco consist on the NS mainline which runs parallel to the PA turnpike. This is only 20mins away from me.
1. NS SD40-2
2. Dash-940C
3. UP SD70MAC (fresh paint)
This was an intermodel train w/ a very unusual consist. It also had DTTX reporting marks every car. Ever since then I've seen unusuall amounts of UP power on CSX, Amtrak, NS, and Conrail trackage. I wonder whats going on??

[redflasher1]

This morning, right past my office window

a short train with an old yard engine in #2 postion with the amber rotating light on top activated. About 20 or 30 cars including a crane on a flat car, and bringing up the rear was an old BN caboose in very very faded green.

And it was going like hell eastbound into Minneapolis

[Anonymous]

In the locomotive department, I saw a freshly painted CN SD40-2 with IC markings below the engine's number on the side of the cab. I've also seen a couple of SD90/43Macs in CEFX red and white.
In the car department, I briefly glimpsed an Erie Western box car in a southbound UP train. Imagine that! [8D]

[Anonymous]

UP 7156

It was a pusher on a loaded coal train.

Today I did some railfanning and as I crossed the bridge I noticed the railroad bridge was going up. So I went that direction and when I got there it was all the way up. I took a couple of pics of it in that position. A UP intermodal train (with a UP engine and an NS engine) has just cleared the bridge. I actually took pics of that train while I was at Union Station (the old Missouri Pacific depot) where Amtrak stops. Another train, with a SP patch unit was leading another train and had to wait for the bridge to come down. While the bridge was up I noticed it had a device to block trains from falling into the river. I could not tell if the "door" was concrete or steel. Perhaps this is a weight that comes down when the bridge goes up, but I am not too sure about that. I think this is the first time I have ever noticed the bridge in the up position. I am not sure how the pics will turn out but I will post them and give a link when they are ready.

Big de-railment on the CN mainline in the Fraser Canyon, CP coal train (they have a trackage agreement)....

Things seem to be up and running again on CN -- was out at lineside this afternoon at Page and trains are running westbound again on CN -- In fact one of the first ones I noted was westbound # 353 with BCR dash9-44 # 4643 leading and trailing was CSX dash 8-40 # 7766 - another rarity for this part of the world. You never know with CN these days!

[Grinandbearit]

Motive power on the CN must be at a premium these days. 309 this afternoon had CN 6015 ( a rebuilt SD-40u, 35 yrs old) 6942, ( SD-40-3 , 33 yrs old) and 5078, an original SD-40,also 35 yrs old. You don't see many GE locos that old still hauling mainline freights at 60 per.

[ozzy01]

At Ravenna,Ky. yard(CSX) ,I saw the usual C44-9's or AC4400. Got lucky also,UP C40-8 and NS C40-9 leading KUCX (Kentucky Utilities) loaded coal train. At the east end of yard was a GP40-2 and slug ex GP30 and a big surprise, 3 SD40-2's. Haven't seen those around here for a long while.
