harsh grade - Coal Creek1 viewsThis photo illustrates the effects of heavy WB trains clawing their way up the steep grade, just outside of Denver. By the time the power for a westbound coal train reaches this crossing, the engines are at full throttle and the pressure on the railhead is making it look like the top of a heavily hammered chisel.signalman

B&O Tower Ashford Junction NY3 viewsA view of the stately B&O tower at Ashford Junction NY, north of Salamanca. B&O's lines to Buffalo and Rochester diverged at this point. The Buffalo line would become part of the Buffalo & Pittsburgh, while the Rochester line would become the Rochester & Southern, both subsidiaries of parent Genesee & Wyoming.

Hughson Sunday Nights1 viewsThe peacefulness of Hughson, California is shattered for less than 40 second while a northbound Amtrak California San Joaquin train 718. CDTX 2051, whose earned the nickname 'Sluggo', on account of its slow loading times, is pulling this trainset at a brisk 79mph rushing northward to Oakland at the other end of this corridor.
Present here are two ghosts from the past. Two old Santa Fe Searchlight signals guard this train and grants it safe passage from one signal block to another. These signals are becoming few and far in between as the BNSF Railway is replacing them with modern 'Tri-Lights'.
Santa Fe Avenue parallels its namesake railroad from Escalon to Madera and is one of the many rout

UPRR 2-10-2 #550022 viewsEngineer for Union Pacific, Archie A. Searle in the cab of U.P. 5500

Union Pacific 5500 is a 2-10-2 - UP 5500 was part of a final group of Class TTT-6 15 2-10-2s built by Baldwin and delivered to the LA-SL(Los Angelas-Salt Lake railroad) and given road numbers 5500 through 5514 in 1923.

Between 1917 and 1924, the Union Pacific Railroad purchased 144 2-10-2 "Santa Fe" types, divided into classes TTT-1 through TTT-7. The UPRR did not call them "Santa Fe" types. They instead gave them the "TTT" class name(Two-Ten-Two). American Locomotive Company (ALCO) built 18, Baldwin Locomotive Works built 89 and Lima Locomotive Works built 37. Despite the divided classes, all of the UP 2-10-2s had the same cylinder dimensions, driving wheel diameter and boiler pressure. After 26 years in service, the UP 5500 was 1 of 4 2-10-2's retired in 1949.
This photo is part of Archie A. Searle's family collection.
