Impressed by the Empress. The Final Spike Tour: Day One has passed thru Medicine Hat and is going towards the yard in Dunmore for the night. The Hydrogen unit #1001 will be pulled off the consis... (more)

The pre-Final Spike Tour prep. My last visit to this exact spot was in 2013, as the former Ogden Shops were being transformed into the Ogden Campus. This very same unit, #1401 was sitting right ... (more)

This shot rather landed in my lap due to an errant merge onto the "A" route thru, as opposed to around, town. Thought I was done for, but the train maintained a delicate speed and I was... (more)

"Streamliners At Spencer" mainline excursion....I believe they went to the intermodal terminal in Charlotte this day.

During the week, local 915 leaves Titusville and heads straight to City Point where it awaits the Unit Train for these cars on its head end. Sometimes the Cemex crew brings the Unit Train out int... (more)

Tampa offers a multitude of street running photo ops. While the popular one with freight is a luck of the draw, this one is 110% guaranteed. When in Ybor City, note the population of chickens th... (more)

Interchange cars from CSXT are heading down to Bartow with the sharpest duo on the roster.
