Always good angles used as you photograph all the train action in the valley Jeff.
Nice view of the passing freight set by your local hobby shop Bill.
Another solar unit makes the rounds in rural El Paso Texas.
Energy savers and great for the environment and its residents.

Wonderful new items, WKS. I particular like the GG1 and the modern
paint scheme, SEPTA, upon a PCC trolley!
I took a trip, recently, in a DeLorean and went back to El Paso
1881 and found this damsel waiting on a train to meet her beau
arriving from Tuscon. The rail is so new there is no station platform
yet.

Another one of your favorites is on the run a few hundred miles west of you Ben.
Union Pacific freight set seen at Bella Trestle near Rasdale Colorado.
Slowly negotiates the curve at a two percent grade.
After she leaves the site it is quiet except for the various bird calls in this scenic area.
Just as my previous posts my photos were taken at the Medford train club. Not my equipment.

Those cars are very long with a big capacity for cargo.
This car needs to be cleaned and repainted.

Great shots Jeff and Robert. Birds get to see these views everyday. What lucky creatures.
In the desolate farmlands of central Long Island we search for the tracks.
Finally reach the tracks after biking thru mud and tall weeds.
An RS1 unit approaches from the east with Alco smoke in the air.
Pedal as fast as I can to keep up with the Long Island Railroad unit.
Some nice views in Medford New York with the slow pace unit.
Many bridges on this scenic line as I pedal westbound to keep up with the unit.
Finally the unit speeds ahead bound for Ronkonkoma as I rest my throbbing feet.
Photos taken at the West Island Railroad Club in Hicksville.

Full capacity on this train on an overcast afternoon this day.

Gotta love Reading Blue Mountain & Northern!! Such an awesome railroad that is running on mostly Reading RR (as well as other Anthracite Railroad) trackage....keeping the tradition alive.
Still anxiously awaiting more news on the 2 F7A's they bought a couple years ago. I believe they are restoring them for the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railroad.

Excellent photo angle of the European train set you saw Robert.

Some yard activity near Reading Pennsylvania.
Buildings nearby with delivery for the local residents.
No freight train in view yet.
Traffic flows freely on a bridge over the main line.
A few coal cars waiting for a pickup.
Dependable Greyhound bus service for the region.
Traffic flows freely under a local bridge in the area.
Grocery store open until late this evening.
Finally we hear the whistle of one of the long freight trains about to enter the crossing.
The double header passes the yard to enter the crossing.

Another old timer arrives in the Garden State.
This one is from Scottsbluff Nebraska.
Wonder if a certain famous member of ours is on this train.
Will find out if he is on board when the train arrives in Bergen Point.
Another fabulous day in New Jersey.
Seen at Butler New Jersey with 65 minutes to go before finishing at Bergen Point.
