The second part of the trifecta and the best one in my opinion was the CN 8822 leading 100 loads of grain from East Dubuque, IA to Swanson, CA. They also had the BNSF 744 and CN 8950 up front, with 2 BNSF units on the rear. They were unable to get into Gallup Yard to shuffle the rear DP's to the middle of the train for the trip over Tehachapi, so they did it at Adamana. Some thicker clouds had rolled in by the time they got back on the move, but they came smoking around the corner as they tried to make up for lost time. Smashing them against the red rocks seemed appropriate for the red nosed EMD leader.
A Super Puma (D-HEGT), Airbus Helicopters H225 (AS332) conducted fast roping of police special forces on a federal police ship (Potsdam BP-81) at the 836. Hamburg Hafengeburtstag.
This classical capture, helicopter in front of the facade of the Elbphilharmonie, is a nice goal to achieve during that demonstration of police skills.
An August evening at Small Heath, Birmingham in 1987 and the BR Table 71 18:40 Moor Street to Stratford-upon-Avon was raising a cloud. The Tyseley 3-car set [T338] comprised Class 116 DMBS 53058 leading and 53050 at the rear with Class 115 TCL 59722 completing the Derby Suburban trio.

New Mexico's Rail Runner Express runs regional rail service for nearly 100 miles from Belen to Santa Fe, through Albuquerque. The trains run on tracks purchased from BNSF in 2005, owned by the state of New Mexico.
Here, on a quiet Sunday afternoon, northbound train #708 blasts off out of Albuquerque after its 3:11 pm departure from Downtown's Alvarado Transportation Center.
The cabooses to the right are owned by the New Mexico Steam Locomotive & Railroad Historical Society, known for restoring ATSF 4-8-4 #2926. ATSF 2018 was built by the Santa Fe's Topeka Shops in 1942. DRGW 01423 was built at the Rio Grande's Burnham Shops in Denver, also in 1942.
