NJTR 4124
Title:  NJTR 4124
Description:  Opened in 1907, NJ Transits Hoboken Terminal is a busy place with a very ecclectic mix of equipment: Commuter trains powered by diesel-electric locomotives and electric locomotives powered by overhead catenary, Hudson-Bergen light rail trolleys and the Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) subway to Manhattan. Locomotives built by EMD, Alstom and Bombardier can all be found here, and many of the EMD units have been rebuilt by other companies. And, as might be expected of a terminal this busy, there is a maze of trackwork (as seen here) needed to manage all the daily train movements!

NYSW 3014
Title:  NYSW 3014
Description:  At New York Susquehanna & Westerns MC Yard in Bogota, New Jersey, is a four unit set of 6-axle power making up a train to head north later on the evening of December 29, 2011. Three-fourths of the power is leased power (from CEFX), with the only "home road" unit the trailing unit - NYS&W SD40T-2 3014 (ex-Southern Pacific 8321). Fortunately for the railfans present this day, a front-uncoupled shot was possible before the power backed on to its train. Interestingly for this southern California native, three of the units were former SP engines, as both the blue SD45s were as well.

When first delivered in 1991 the twenty 500-class GE locomotives were regularly assigned to these trains (then called "San Diegans". In Amtraks early days, low-numbered 500-class SDP40Fs were also assigned to the "San Diegans," too.

BNSF 5507
Title:  BNSF 5507
Description:  Proof that people in car-centric southern California do ride trains, as BNSF Railway train S-LPCLBA1-18A (behind Dash 9-44CWs 5507 and 4387, with ES44DCs 7528 and 7274 on thh rear) speeds by the'new parking garage being built (to handle the crowds) adjacent to the Fullerton passenger station (which is in the distance, among the palm trees). Fullerton sees nearly 60 Amtrak and Metrolink passenger trains stop there each weekday and, as it is also on BNSFs busy!Transcon mainline connecting Los Angeles (and the nearby ports) to Chicago, an amazing number of freight trains, too. No wonder it is such a popular railfan hangout. It is rare to wait more then twenty minutes without something coming by!

AMTK 507
Title:  AMTK 507
Description:  Back when they were new in the early 1990s, Amtraks Dash 8-32BWH diesels hauling Horizon Fleet and Amfleet cars on the "San Diegans" was the norm. But since the delivery of dedicated "Pacific Surfliner" equipment (F59PHIs and high-level coaches, along with a name change for these trains) in 1998, this older equipment was used sparingly. But with recent schedule changes, some of these older trainsets have been pressed back into daily service, providing some variety on the California coast. On March 3, 2012, "Pacific Surfliner" #572 departs Fullerton behind Dash 8-32BWH 507 (wearing its third paint scheme) for its trip to San Diego.

SFD 101
Title:  SFD 101
Description:  When Disneyland opened in 1955, the 36" gauge Santa Fe & Disneyland Railroad operated two trains: One passenger train, and one freight (albeit with seating for passengers, of course). The original passenger cars were built with closed side and standard passenger car seating, but this design proved inadequate when the Grand Canyon diorama (promoting travel on the Santa Fe to the Grand Canyons south rim) opened. The original cars were retired by 1974, replaced with open sided cars with sideways seating. Combine 101, still lettered for the Santa Fe & Disneyland (the railroad is now just the Disneyland Railroad) made an appearance at the (nearly) annual Fullerton Railroad Days on May 5th, 2012.

Description:  When Disneyland opened in 1955, the 3 gauge Santa Fe & Disneyland Railroad operated two trains: One passenger train, and one freight (albeit with seating for passengers, of course). The original passenger cars were built with closed side and standard passenger car seating, but this design proved inadequate when the Grand Canyon diorama (promoting travel on the Santa Fe to the Grand Canyons south rim) opened. The original cars were retired by 1974, replaced with open sided cars with sideways seating. But one car, observation car "Grand Canyon", was rebuilt to become the railroads only parlor car. The car is in daily service at the park, but is only open to invited guests - the first of whom was Japanese emperor Hirohito and his wife on a visit to the United States in 1976. Named for Walt Disneys wife, the "Lilly Belle" was moved a few miles north of Disneyland to be displayed at the (nearly) annual Fullerton Railroad Days on May 5th, 2012.

ATSF 3751
Title:  ATSF 3751
Description:  In car-centric Los Angeles, even National Train Day brings out automobiles! A 1950s vintage Cadillac, and a 1945 REA truck, were brought out to add to the retro atmosphere around Santa Fe 4-8-4 3751 on Track 11. Meanwhile, on Track 12, Amtrak "Heritage" P42DC 66 wears an old Amtrak scheme, although that is of a much more recent vintage than the others.

SIR 460
Title:  SIR 460
Description:  While a part of New York Citys vast MTA transit system, the Staten Island Railway differs from the subway in several ways: The equipment is lettered for the SIR, the trackage is above ground, the SIR uses position signals and it is unconnected to the rest of the system. Opened in 1860 as a part of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, the 14-mile long SIR operates completely within the borough of Staten Island. On May 19th, 2012, a northbound train departs the Tompinksville station for St. George, and the Staten Island Ferry Terminal (which connects to the Battery in Manhattan).

MTA 55
Title:  MTA 55
Description:  When I was first in New York City, the one time I was in the subway without my camera was the time a diesel powered work train passed by. Of all the bad luck! (Although it was on the wrong track.) Five months later, I was back, and after getting off a subway train at Borough Hall in Brooklyn, we were winding around the tunnels for the exit closest to our destination and turned the corner to discover - a diesel powered work train! I could not believe that Id stumbled upon this again, and this time with camera in hand. MTA 55 is a 45-ton GE diesel, one of six R-41 class diesels built from December 1967 through February 1968. We exited here to go to the MTAs museum, whose collection includes - ironically - another of these diminutive GEs (in that case, a 35-tonner)!

MTA 5546
Title:  MTA 5546
Description:  New York Citys 14th Street/Union Square station is a busy place - a convergence of 7 lines (the 4, 5, 6, L, N, Q and R trains) makes it the fourth busiest on the whole system! Almost 35,000,000 riders used this station in 2011. An R train, made up of mid-1970s era Pullman R46 cars, arrives at the station on the evening of May 20, 2012.

MTA 7151
Title:  MTA 7151
Description:  14th Street/Union Square is the New York subways fourth busiest station, because it is a transfer point for 7 lines (the 4, 5, 6, L, N, Q and R trains). In 2011, almost 35,000,000 riders used this station. A 4 Train (Lexington Avenue Express), made up of R142 cars (built by Bombardier in the early 2000s), comes to a stop on its way north to Woodlawn. This station is a labrynth of stairways, walkways and bridges, and taking the time to stop and watch the various surges of commuters as trains arrive and depart is fascinating in itself.
