B&M leader westbound |
| Description: |
A B&M GP40-2 leads this westbound train out of Conklin yard as seen from the Conklin Av overpass. The trailing unit is notable, as it was one of the three ex Illinois Terminal SD 39's Guilford acquired from NS. |

Rare widecab |
| Description: |
SOO had five SD60Ms, which occasionally made their way to the east. It was always good to see them, especially in the lead, which was unusual. Got lucky this day, as 164 rolls through Bevier St with not only the SOO widecab, but a WC unit as well. The irony is that WC was a SOO predecessor, but is now part of the CN system. |

CSX detour |
| Description: |
During summer track work season, CSX would send detour trains over NYSW on a daily basis. Mostly these were low priority trains, usually Q 403 and 404. Q 156 was a higher priority train that often made the trip via Binghamton. We see it here passing Kirkwood Industrial Park along US 11 with a UP leader, with 46 freight and 79 stacks for Jersey. |

Leased power on BH 2 |
| Description: |
Sometimes NYSW would run short of power, and find themselves in the lease market. Sometimes this meant some really ratty looking diesels. Here we see a pair of ex Guilford units at Old State Rd in Port Dick heading north late in the day. |

Alcos roll north |
| Description: |
Todays 270 has three RS18us head out, uncommon power for this train, which usually got SDs, but not unheard of. CP would use anything that ran, as we see here. Nobody was complaining. The train has just started out and is passing the south end of Bevier St and the famous Agway mill with 63 cars for Mohawk. |

Rare sight |
| Description: |
Not the power, there are still tons of EMD 40s on the UP, and the paint scheme is the same as its been since the 1930s. The unusual thing about this train is its a northbound on the ex MKT. North of Wagoner, he UP uses directional running, since from there to KC, it has both the ex MP via Coffeyville Kan, and the ex MKT via Parsons Kan. It uses the MKT from KC almost exclusively for southbounds, except for this local based in Pryor, OK, 25 miles to the north. I caught it en route to my grandsons football game in nearby Coweta. Football and trains, cant go wrong-and they won!! |

Real find |
| Description: |
I dont shoot a lot of short lines and regionals as a rule. Not that I dont like them, they are often hard to find running. Unlike UP or BNSF, their operations are often not obvious to an outsider, and since I often have limited time to go exploring, I dont take the time to seek them out. So I was pleasantly surprised when driving through Panama City to see the gates going down across US 98. I grabbed the shot, getting this 21 car local with, of all things, a New England Central unit leading, about as far as one can get from Gulf Coast Florida in distance and temperament. |

| Title: |
Trackage rights |
| Description: |
One of the concessions for the UP-MP-WP merger was that the Rio Grande get rights into Kansas City. They ran over the ex Mopac from Pueblo, entering the area at Paola, where the line crossed the MKT-which would also soon get gobbled up by the yellow monster-and the BN. Heres a wfstbound train passing Paola en route to home rails at Pueblo. |

| Title: |
Double whammy |
| Description: |
This shows two UP predecessors in one, although the line was already UP by then. This is a Rio Grande trackage rights train approaching Wagstaff Kansas on the ex Mopac line to Colorado, which DRGW used to access connections at KC as part of the conditions of the UP-MP-WP merger. The scene is one that epitomizes prairie railroading-long view, long train, long line of code line poles into the distance. |

Knoche power |
| Description: |
A mix of power sits at KCS Knoche yard. Also known as Joint Agency-it served KCS, MILW, DRGW-it was the Kansas City home of the Rio Grande, which came into KC via trackage rights over the ex MP from Pueblo. It was a good place to catch DRGW power. |

For some reason I do not now recall, DRGW 5771 was not on the train this day. Instead we had a GP40-2. Ah well... |

This was the head end of the RGZ the day I rode. Didnt get 5771, which was out of service for reasons long forgotten. We did have the F9B and the Alco PB power car. |

Head end from the dutch door |
| Description: |
One of the things I miss most about riding trains from the era up to about the mid 80s was riding the dutch door. Now the practically wont let you in the vestibules to cross between cars. This is a view of the front of the train as we rode through the Utah desert. |
