Love/hate
Title:  Love/hate
Description:  I love and hate short lines all at the same time. There are some interesting operations, and in days past, a lot of interesting power, especially back in the late 70's when the likes of Conrail were selling off underused and unprofitable branch lines, and they were also casting off a lot of odd and obscure power. At the same time, a lot of them run on an erratic basis, often tied to one or two customers, or when the connecting Class 1 brings some cars to the connection. This makes them hard to catch, especially if you're an outlander, though, as photographer Ken Karlewicz noted about the NYSW years ago, "living near the tracks doesn't guarantee you'll see trains." So it was with great joy I found this Pioneer Lines train rolling slowly on an old Wabash branch toward Napoleon as we were driving east on US 24, headed toward Toledo and the Ohio Turnpike. Once in a while, you get lucky!!

Long time, no change
Title:  Long time, no change
Description:  Sometimes, when a Class 1 sells or abandons a line, the infrastructure or signage stays in place for a long time. Such is the case with this long time sold off Wabash line from Toledo to Fort Wayne, now active for a short distance in Ohio. Pioneer Rail 3001 rolls 12 cars east toward the end of track and a connection to CSX-ex B&O in Napoleon, passing a sign that is at least 40 years old, and possibly a lot older, given that the N&W merged the Wabash in 1964.

Rickety
Title:  Rickety
Description:  One of the features of long sold off branch lines is often the lack of track maintenance. This is not nearly as bad as some, but still, the stick rail is showing its age as the train rolls away through a tunnel of trees.

Off to a good start
Title:  Off to a good start
Description:  We had just left the house on a trip to Cleveland, and were driving up Ark 59 toward Gravette, to go east on Ark 72 to reach I 49. As luck would have it, a southbound 125 car AEPX coal train happened past as we were approaching Decatur. It was a grab shot from the car, but Ill take it. Trailing unit 6713 is an ex CNW GE.

Pennsy power??
Title:  Pennsy power??
Description:  Doesnt look like it, but the type face on the number looks like it could be. We stopped near Mansfield for gas and a Mc Donalds tea off I 71, and saw this up on the hill behind the Mc Donalds, carrying a banner for the diner it was in front of. Any ideas on what the heritage of this engine is, please comment.

Close up view
Title:  Close up view
Description:  A closer view of the steam engine behind the Mc Donalds in Mansfield. The RRPA system identifies the Pennsy engine with this number as a 4-4-2, but I can clearly see there are at least six driving wheels, and it may be a 2-8-0. I suspect the number may not be the engine's actual number, or it's not a PRR engine, which I suspect is the case. The fall color in the background is absolutely authentic!!

Chicago & Alton
Title:  Chicago & Alton
Description:  On our trip to Cleveland, we stopped to do something wed planned for a long time. No, not sit at Springfield and shoot Amtrak and UP trains, but tour the Frank Lloyd Wright Dana Thomas House, which is a block from the tracks, several blocks south of the station. The house is well worth the visit, and has the largest amount of original Wright art glass in existence-and the tour is free!! We had some time after before heading east, so went up to see what was going on. It turned out we were able to shoot St Louis bound train 305, but prior to that, we got some shots of the station itself, along with some panels about Abraham Lincolns funeral train. This is the main part of the building, with a second floor tower overlooking the tracks.

Monett mural
Title:  Monett mural
Description:  The folks in Monett, MO, a junction town on the Frisco Cherokee Sub-where it met the Sixth Sub, todays Arkansas & Missouri, the main line now BNSF, painted this mural on a downtown building. I think it was done in 2019-hence the engine number. There was an SLSF 2019, an E 8 named in Friscos series of thoroughbreds, in this case, Cavalcade. Nice to see it memorialized so prominently.
