Running on former KCS territory is CPKC train 41B, complete with the FP9 A-B-A set and Royal Canadian Pacific equipment. They're deadheading from Shreveport, LA to Calgary, AB following inspection trips farther south, and here, they're moving up the CPKC Pittsburg Sub at 289th St at West Line. 3/29/26.
Another day, another Japanese ETTS. This time though, it is in the form of one of Japan Railway's most famous bullet trains, the Hello Kitty Shinkansen.
On May 17, 2026, the famed pink 500 Series will retire from service on the Sanyo Shinkansen. Originally taking over from the Evangelion shinkansen in March 2018, the Hello Kitty shinkansen operated for over 8 years between Hakata and Osaka, bringing joy to fans (and commuters) on a near daily basis. A special excursion will operate on May 18 and afterwards will cease operations for good.
Here on a hazy but beautiful April morning, the pink bullet train races east of Okayama bound for Shin-Osaka. Ironically, Doctor Yellow was scheduled to pass later that morning, but more people came out to photograph this train than the Doctor. Proof that the "Kawaii" is a strong motivator, even towards the end of its life.

LNER Azuma Class 801 No 801222 heads south at Lamberton on the East Coast Main Line with the 0801 Edinburgh to Peterborough service on 4th June 2021
Shortly after this photograph was taken the wires came down near Berwick-on-Tweed and that ended the Lamberton photo session. Services were already terminating at Peterborough - so not a good day for ECML travellers....

In the background, Penn Central train 355 from Detroit is approaching Chicago's Union Station on April 29, 1971, as seen from the 18th Street bridge.
Closer to the camera, an eastbound PC "Trail-Van" intermodal train utilizing former New York Central Flexi-Van containers is departing. Immediately to its right is Dick Jensen's 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotive number 5629, utilized for many Chicago-area excursions.
