April 24, 2010 Lake Forest, Illinois. Metra-C&NW station. I loved what the fog did with the lights on the street and platform. The trees along the platform were in bloom. Lake Forest is a suburb north of Chicago served by both the C&NW and Milwaukee Road METRA commuter lines. Mike Tisdale

April 25, 2010, Dolton, Illinois. CSX GP38-2 on a short local freight heading east on the B&O Chicago Terminal. . The sidelight brings out the bright green of spring. Dolton is south of Chicago. The Indiana Harbor Belt and B&OCT cross the former C&EI, now jointly owned by UP and CSX, at Dolton. NS has a short, former PRR Panhandle, line that comes off the IHB here and goes to a steel plant. The Panhandle used to cross the IHB and C&EI here at a 45 degree angle, but is mostly abandoned. Still, the junction sees many trains every day. Mike Tisdale

Across the highway at Martin, the Utah Railway was assembling a train. Martin is the HQ of the Utah with its shops, the former office building (now not used as Utah is owned by Genesee and Wyoming) and the old water tank up the hill. I spent a day in Helper, Utah in April 2010 on a trip from Sacramento to Chicago via the California Zephyr. Martin is a short distance from Helper. 19 April 2010 Mike Tisdale

Sacramento, California 20 April 2022 A new perspective on Sacramento's SP station. I was on the 6th floor of a fairly recently constructed medical building a block away from the station and had a good view of it. This is a new angle on a building I've been photographing for 50 years. A stack train stopped for a while, with a gray KCS unit in the consist. Unfortunately, I only had my cell phone and the zoomed photo is not particularly clear. Mike Tisdale

Milan - "Tortuga" electric, 444-056. The 444s had a maximum speed of 200 km / hr, so the "tortoise" name is a joke. Note that the starting signals are semaphores. 10 March 1980 Mike Tisdale

3 SP GP9s , with 3405 leading, on a westbound train coming off the Yolo Causeway between Davis and Sacramento, California. This was 1976, IIRC, and a friend and I were driving to the Bay Area for something...maybe to photograph an excursion train. We might have wound up at PLA's Castro Point RR, where I took the photos of Quincy RR #2 in another album. Mike Tisdale

Saltash, UK, the Royal Albert Bridge from the 1023 Penzance-Leeds train. Brunel designed it in 1859 and it is still in service today over 160 years later. On my tour around the UK in April 1980, I wanted to visit a place known for pirates and Major Generals who know less of tactics than a novice in a nunnery. So, one night, I got on a train at Paddington, found an empty compartment in a first class Mark 1 coach and stretched across the seats, and awakened the next morning to find myself in Cornwall. After a couple of hours of eating breakfast, watching trains and seeing a bit of the city, I caught another train out of town. I rode this one as far as Plymouth, getting photos of the Royal Albert Bridge as we went over it. Mike Tisdale

Ryan Clark's Stockton Railfest returned on 2 April with a lot of people having a great time and UP, BNSF and Amtrak sending a good number of trains by the Stockton, California diamonds, where BNSF and UP cross. The people enjoyed the trains and each other and the dogs enjoyed people petting them. Thanks, Ryan! https://www.flickr.com/photos/10813293@N08/albums/72177720297940058 Mike Tisdale

Ever had too many trains when you're railfanning? We did as soon as we got to Dolton. The autorack train was on the near track and as it passed, a CP train came west on the next track over. The autorack train cleared, but the CP manifest was still in the way as a CSX stack train rolled east. In the distance, a manifest with BNSF power was coming west on the B&OCT. 4 trains in one photo, 26 April 2010 The two tracks closest to the camera are Indiana Harbor Belt, the farther two tracks are CSX/B&O Chicago Terminal.
