Into the October sundown |
| Description: |
UP 7484 passes the old west end of Kennard siding where grading is underway for the on-going double tracking of the former C&NW freight line between Missouri Valley, IA and Fremont, NE. The line, which has been primarily a westbound by-pass around Omaha, will see increasing levels of eastbound traffic as capacity is increased. |

The Buffet pipeline |

BNSF 4535 brings more tank cars east. Its beginning to appear as it must have during WWII when oil traveled by rail to avoid the U-boats. |

A gloomy day in store |
| Description: |
BNSF 4867 brings what I presume to be oil tankers out of North Dakota through Trempealeau, WI on an overcast Thursday morning. Sometimes you take what you get. |

Current of traffic and searchlights |
| Description: |
This stretch of the old Q between Prairie Du Chien and La Crosse is still operated as current of traffic (TWC) railroad and, for now, the lovely searchlight signals are still in place. Weather notwithstanding, its a fine sight as BNSF 5975 brings a short inermodal outfit through Ferryville. Its a raw wind blowing along the river today. |

CSX 7338 turns southward at Deshler, passing beneath the B&O-era cantilever. Those new signal installations will never approach the aesthetic appeal of these structures and signals. |

Nailing it |
| Description: |
I really like this shot! The proverbial sucker hole of sunlight at an opportune moment makes the NS 6908 stand out against a dramatic sky as it brings an eastbound manifest past the former PRR block station at Huntingdon, PA. Highball! |

Showing a bit of color |
| Description: |
As the 9889 rolls east, NS 8077 comes west, showing a bit of color in its consist with that exquisite roaming Reading Lines unit. Last time I saw it was out west of Lincoln, NE in July. Better trailing than not at all, I guess. |
