The Amtrak Texas Eagle meanders somewhere north of Laredo Texas today. People are gazing at the heat and the animals from the air conditioned comfort of the coach cars.

Very nice photos from both Jeff and Frank. We always enjoy your contributions. We see a colorful Great Northern unit on a sunny day in Tacoma Washington. Behind her are Southern Pacific coaches filled with happy tourists enjoying the trip.

Looking at everyone's photos and seeing lots of good ones. There is no shortage of railroad action everywhere this daily is published. I was at the Bergen Point yards photographing the action in and out of the yards.

Penn Central dreams seen at Hackensack New Jersey. One of my earliest digital attempts at model rail photography. I like the way it is grainy like an impressionistic painting. It reminds me of my first railfan trip to Hackensack New Jersey. Was on a cold damp rainy November day back in 1975. A day that cemented my love of all good things on rails. The irony of getting a great shot is that one can take scores of plain looking pictures. And the one that pops is typically accidental at least for me. Back in 1975 shooting rolls of film was pretty pricey for a 15 year old kid with a camera. Now I can shoot thousands of frames and it does not cost a dime.

My family and I took the trolley to the local burger joint the other day. We were very surprised to see cattle running towards the burger joint. What were they thinking. Unless they wanted to eat there as well.

We always enjoy your fine photos Frank and Jeff. This next photo shows a freight set delivery at Hackettstown Hills Massachusetts with tasty food and drinks.

Take a ride on the Reading. Here a Reading Geep hauls a load of tractors. They will be used in the massive build up for the Interstate Highway System. That will retire her to a new life hauling tourists at a local museum.

Yesterday afternoon I wandered down to the rail yards with my camera to see what there was to see. This is what I found. Tank cars ready for pickup in El Paso Texas and cool temperatures as well. A bonus is this beautiful Penn Central geep in my neck of the woods. Woo hoo.

A hike in the Pinewood gorge area gave me opportunities to photograph a scenic train. Santa Fe set seen with some coaches borrowed from other railroad companies.

Excellent photos as usual Jeff. Always enjoyable to view and marvel at. These next photos show various barns one hundred miles from New York City. First one in Arkville and the second one in Shandaken and the third in Woodstock. The second photo taken in Shandaken shows a fan trip from Long Island City New York.

Upstate New York is particularly pleasant this time of year. I recollect cherry season during the summer. Memorable photos which are whimsical and very nice to see. Coca cola anyone?

Bellows Falls holds many fond memories for us raifans. At Palmer Massachusetts where we find a New Haven RDC unit at a station stop during the height of the foliage season.

Palmer is a lovely spot. Used to pick MacIntosh apples for home made pies in that area. I loved standing near the tracks watching the trains pass thru town. Here is a Sanka hopper car making a delivery in El Paso Texas yesterday afternoon.

The dependable Sanka car always brightens the scene Jeff. You seem to see it often in your travels. Next we see some former New York subway cars operating as solar powered units in Omaha Nebraska.
