ESPN1008 por Stanley Short Por Flickr: I have noticed over the past several years that chain saws appear to be standard equipment on a lot of shortline locomotives. We watched as a northbound East Penn freight train approached and was able to stop before hitting a fallen tree at Northbrook, PA on Feb. 24, 2026. The crew got out of the cab with a chain saw and made quick work of clearing the track. A storm two days earlier had produced some high winds and several inches of snow.
"Intermodal First, Local Later"
BNSF ES44C4 No. 6565 leads a Westbound intermodal past with ES44C4 No. 8206 at the end of the train as a DPU. Shortly after the intermodal passed by, Union Pacific GP38-2s No. 665 (Ex-Missouri Pacific 2165) and GP15-1 No. 573 (Ex-Missouri Pacific No. 1573) pass on through with a Southbound local headed for the Roper Yard.

Bicentennial Display by NAPM Model Railroad Club Via Flickr: Eight locomotives in bicentennial liveries assemble for a special event in NAPM's Ottawa yard in 1975. This photo was inspired by an iconic prototype photo taken by Trains magazine at the Belt Railway of Chicago's 87th Street yard; it was taken during a special NAPM photo session featuring 22 member-owned bicentennial locomotives.

On the Hi-Dry
We have two shots here of a southbound hopper train rolling through Bloomington Indiana on the siding track. The lead unit is a fairly new GP38-2, built in 1974, with the name of "ROSWELL B. MASON" on it’s cab. This one of those times when the going away shot is better than the approach.
The Illinois Central line to Indianapolis, built in the early 20th century, is known as the Hi-Dry due to its high bridges and fills. It cuts through the campus of Indiana University grade-separated for the most part; I believe that building in the background of the first image is Foster Quadrangle.

Follow the leader by Michael Berry Via Flickr: After arriving on the south leg of the wye that leads from CP's Adirondack Sub to the Lasalle Loop Spur, leader CP 3051 was uncoupled from trailing unit CP 4429 and a string of tank cars. Both CP 3051 light and CP 4429 with the tank cars will soon head towards the spur simultaneously. Two units cannot run on the wye when coupled together. The power will recouple once they are off the wye.
That Sweet Sweet Light by Brian Hechel Via Flickr: Across a freshly cut field of sugar cane a United States Sugar Company Railroad GP38-2 has a full train of sugar cane heading to the processing plant in Clewiston, Florida.

Two Pair by lennycarl08 Via Flickr: The Sunday move with 2 sets of matching classic 4 axle EMD power. The SSW Scarlet and Gray paint jobs have definitely seen better days, but it will still be sad to see them go. Too bad UP doesn't paint their local power in heritage schemes
