After meeting 641, UP 7448 passes Park St in Roselle leading 640. A rare meet on this line for sure
UP 9803, formerly CNW 8699, leads CPKC sand empty 641 through Roselle Metra station, en route westbound to Clayton, IA, with a surprise about a mile westward from this picture location.
Had to double check where I was at for a moment. UP 9803 with CPKC 641 meets UP 7448 with CPKC 640 just past the Roselle West signal on a windy, very warm day. Each train carrying cars for frac sand, 640 being loaded, 641 being empty.

The northbound Amtrak Silver Star now will start moving forward to the end of the double ended siding where it again will be operating on the main line to Clearwater where it will change over from the ex ACL line to the ex SAL line to reach Tampa via the Oldsmar Trestle.

Amtrak Silver Star northbound, led by EMD SDP40F locomotive 641, is in a siding to allow the late running Amtrak Silver Star southbound to pass by in Largo, Florida, 2-21-1977, Fred Clark, Jr. Typically late running trains are given the right-of-way on the main line over other trains when possible. In the situation, the late train is nearing it final destination at Saint Petersburg, Florida. The northbound Amtrak Silver Star should have its whole trip to make up some time if possible.

I suppose a good way to make the fleet look more modern than it actually was, was to buy half-cab models in full-front form, and here is another one - MUP 641 was a 1952 Leyland Tiger PS2 with Burlingham body, initially new to Wilkinson of Sedgefield, but which had other owners prior to joining Hulley's in 1962. It was operated until 1966, but remained here for at least a couple more years.
Baslow depot, unknown date
Manning Wardle Works No. 641 steam locomotive No. 4 ‘Sharpthorn’ was built in 1877 and awaits restoration at the Bluebell heritage railway. This typical Victorian contractors’ loco was owned by Joseph Firbank, the contractor who built the Lewes and East Grinstead Railway, of which the Bluebell is a part.
Last operational in 1958, this 0-6-0ST saddle tank engine is stabled at Horsted Keynes station and is seen during the Bluebell Railway’s Branch Line Gala on 16 March 2025.

Fleet number 641 was seen picking up outside the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People at Little France Crescent in the Edinburgh BioQuarter. The bus is working route 49 from the adjacent Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh to the Fort Kinnaird retail park. Although the latter is physically very near, the route operates via the city centre, Leith and Portobello to maximise direct links for bus passengers to either the hospitals or the retail park. Construction of RHCYP began in 2015 but it did not open until 2021.
