History Fading10 viewsThe DPUs of this BNSF Railway manifest-train slam by as it makes its way south through Cortez California on the Stockton Subdivision. The Warbonnet is one of few that lasts today in its Super Chief-inspired paint scheme. Behind it is a unit wearing 'Heritage II' paint scheme which is hybrid of Santa Fe's Warbonnet and Great Northern's Empire Builder schemes. Both locomotives are General Electric C44-9W's which is the power of choice on BNSF's high-speed trainsPNWTransitFreakApr 19, 2024

Hughson Sunday Nights0 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

Cruel Fate14 viewsAfter spending an afternoon in Napa with my family we began to head back, and found this off SR-12. The story of the NWP is one of conflict, irony and despair. In its modern times the NWP has been treated a stepchild in the communities that it once proudly served. The unit I'm standing on was one of many SD9s that are permanently stuck on this railroad. The NWP last run in the late 1990s at its full capacity and trailed off til 2000 when it was killed permanently. It's said to been reopened for a project called SMART, which has plans similar to NCTD's SPRINTER in southern California - that has yet to bear any fruit - http://nwprrhs.org/history.htm PNWTransitFreakApr 19, 2024

The Odd Couple1 viewsCN units 4798 and 4703 left town leaving CN 4782 all alone. But not to worry, it seems CN 2257 was lying around, so the 4782 needn't be alone no more. On August 6 2008, CN 520 'Diverges to clear' at Riverview, with one of the most bizarre consists ever to grace the train, except for the Dash-9/GMD1 setup. Why the GEVO isn't up front, is beyond mezartok-35Apr 19, 2024
