Blanketed in a thick cloud of wildfire smoke, downtown Minneapolis is left in a state of heavy breatihng as Milwaukee Road 261 speeds through Nicollet Island on its way to Hopkins. Despite the god awful conditions, the lack of sunlight thanks to the fires made for a very interesting photographic aura on this Thursday morning.
Charging westbound in a blazing July sun, Milwaukee Road 261 whistles through the town of Buffalo Lake, Minnesota on what is now the TC&W mainline. Once upon a time, engines like the 261 and other fleetmates would see use on this mainline with the Milwaukee's flagship passenger and freight services.
For almost its entire length south of 125th St, Amtrak's West Side line exists underground, buried beneath Riverside Park and a series of air-rights developments. However, a few open-air sections remain in Midtown on the final approach to Penn Station, with this one-block stretch between 45th and 46th Streets being one of the only spots with a workable photo angle. Train 290, the southbound Ethan Allen Express, rolls out the final miles of its journey to New York as it passes through the one-block gap with P42C 9702 bringing up the marker.
As Piotrek gonna flood our stream with Ukraine photos (and I'm sure they will be pretty breathtaking, heartstopping, and brainboiling), I have something not so impressing, from the other side of the continent. When you look carefully, something related to latest Piotrek's photos may be found.
Here a duo of #66737 and #73968 with the train no. 1M16 "Caledonian Sleeper" from Inverness to London Euston, approaches Kingussie station in several minutes. Cairngorms National Park landscape covered by clouds from above is in the background, behind the train.
"Caledonian Sleeper" is a three-part train, and each part connects different area of Scotland: Fort William on the West (at the foot of Ben Nevis, which I took liberty to ascent the day before), Inverness, actually the biggest city in North of Scotland, and Aberdeen on East coast. All three parts come to Edinbourgh, where they're joined together and the diesel loco is replaced by electric one. Caledonian Sleeper is also the name of the train operator.

10 years ago today (7.21) the La Salle based Local-7 has cleared up in the siding at Brighton in order to meet the deadheading Frontier Days special, led by Union Pacific 844. 844 had just undergone a significant multi-year rebuilding, which saw the famed 4-8-4 making her first mainline appearance since 2013.
By the time this meet took place the sun was in a less than favorable angle however this meet afforded me a chance to catch up with my good friend John Shine, who was the engineer on Local-7 that day. John has since pulled the pin and now enjoys a world in which Omaha no longer calls :}

Od dzisiaj tj. 21.07.2026, linia kolejowa 78 (Sandomierz - Grębów) została zamknięta pod gruntowną modernizację. Stanowiła ona jedno z ramion trójkąta składającego się ze szlaków Sobów - Sandomierz oraz Sobów - Grębów i umożliwiała przewozy z Sandomierza w kierunku Stalowej Woli bez konieczności zmiany czoła w Sobowie. Z całego trójkąta uchowała się najdłużej przed remontem. Odcinek z Sobowa (Tarnobrzegu) do Sandomierza został oddany do użytku po remoncie właśnie dzisiaj, za to między Sobowem, a Grębowem linia jest rozkopana od października. Na zdjęciu przedstawicielka powoli wyginającej serii - EP09-034, która prowadzi pociąg IC 3136 „Witos” z Przemyśla do Warszawy. Za pare minut skład dotrze do Sandomierza.
From today (21.07.2026), the railway line no. 78 (Sandomierz - Grębów) has been closed for modernisation works. It was one of the sides of the triangle consisting of the Sobów - Sandomierz and Sandomierz - Grębów railways and enabled trains to pass from Sandomierz towards Stalowa Wola without the need of changing direction in Sobów. It managed to hide away from rail works the longest as the line from Sobów (Tarnobrzeg) to Sandomierz was put into service just today. The line from Sobów to Grębów has been closed since October. In the frame EP09-034, a member of a slowly diminishing loco series is hauling train IC 3136 „Witos” from Przemyśl to Warszawa. In a couple minutes it will arrive in Sandomierz.
