Atlantic Coast Line 4-6-0 #1031 11-22-23

Atlantic Coast Line #1031 is a 4-6-0 “Ten Wheeler” Type Locomotive that was built by Baldwin in 1913 for the Atlantic Coast Line. It was one of 25 such examples rostered by the ACL whose crews elected to nickname them “Copperheads” for the fact they were fitted with polished copper rims atop their smokestacks. The Ten Wheelers would spend the majority of their careers in service across the Carolinas with some wondering as far north as Richmond, Virginia and as far south as Jacksonville, Florida. The 1031 in particular was assigned to jobs out of Florence, South Carolina. In 1952 she was transferred to the Virginia and Carolina Southern Railroad which was a subsidiary to the Coast Line. Later it was leased out to the East Carolina Railway out of Taraboro. In 1959 shortly after being retired, the 1031 was placed on static display behind the ACL Station in Florence where it remained for the next 35 years out in the elements. In 1994 the City donated the Engine to the North Carolina Transportation Museum who in 1996 gave her an extensive restoration back to it’s 1940s era ACL Livery. At the time of my visit, the 1031 was also masquerading with Polar Express decals. Video of it and more: youtu.be/EMb0p-g5SQQ

Commuters mill about the main concourse of the MBTA's Back Bay Station. The third train station at this location in the Back Bay, the current station opened in 1987 as part of the MBTA's Southwest Corridor project re-aligning and burying the Orange Line, previously running on elevated tracks. It continues its role as a major multi-modal passenger station serving subway, commuter rail, and Amtrak trains as well as buses and is an important stop on the Northeast Corridor and amongst the busiest stations in the country.

SBB Cargo International | 193 110 | Hügelheim 🇩🇪 by Chloe0331

SBB Cargo International | 193 110 | Hügelheim 🇩🇪

🇳🇱 Vorig jaar, 6 april, stond ik in Hügelheim de AKE Rheingold met de toen nog rode 101 001 op te wachten met een paar andere fotografen, en tuurlijk, er reed net een cargo voorbij op het voorste spoor. Nog geen maand later kwam er een herkansing in Eimeldingen, deze foto lukte wel al is dit niet de mooie stek die er is. Zo'n klein jaar later op 28 maart reed de AKE Rheingold weer eens een Sonderzug naar Domodossola. Ondertussen heb ik al meerdere mooie foto's van deze trein in beide Zwitserland als Italië, zou het dit keer lukken in Duitsland? Helaas.

Zo'n anderhalf uur voordat de 101 001 met de AKE voorbij kwam in een dikke fotowolk zien we de 193 110 van SBB Cargo International het kleine dorpje voorbij rijden. Niet echt waar ik voor kwam maar gezien ik deze nog niet eerder op de foto heb ben ik in ieder geval blij dat ik niet voor niks om 6 uit bed gekropen.


🇬🇧 Last year, 6 April, I was waiting in Hügelheim for the AKE Rheingold with the then red 101 001 with a few other photographers, and sure enough, a cargo just passed by on the front track. Less than a month later, a second chance in Eimeldingen, this photo was successful although it is not the prettiest spot around. About a year later on 28 March, the AKE Rheingold once again ran a Sonderzug to Domodossola. By now I already have several good photos of this train in both Switzerland and Italy, would it succeed this time in Germany? Alas.

About an hour and a half before the 101 001 with the AKE passed in horrible lighting, we see SBB Cargo International's 193 110 passing the small village. Not really what I came for but considering I haven't photographed this one before, I'm happy I at least didn't get out of bed at 6 for nothing.


🇩🇪 Letztes Jahr, am 6. April, wartete ich mit ein paar anderen Fotografen in Hügelheim auf den AKE Rheingold mit der damals roten 101 001, und natürlich, ein Güterzug fuhr auf dem vorderen Gleis vorbei. Knapp einen Monat später folgte eine neue Chance in Eimeldingen, dieses Foto ist gelungen, obwohl es nicht der schönste Fotostelle ist. Etwa ein Jahr später, am 28. März, fuhr der AKE Rheingold wieder einen Sonderzug nach Domodossola. Izwischen habe ich mehrere schöne Fotos von diesem Zug sowohl in der Schweiz als auch in Italien, würde es diesmal in Deutschland gelingen? Leider nicht.

Etwa anderthalb Stunden bevor die 101 001 mit dem AKE in einer dicken Fotowolke vorbeifuhr, sehen wir die 193 110 von SBB Cargo International das kleine Dorf passieren. Nicht wirklich wofür ich gekommen bin, aber wenn man bedenkt dass ich diesen Zug noch nie fotografiert habe, bin ich wenigstens froh dass ich nicht umsonst um 6 Uhr aufgestanden bin.

Great Central Railway Rothley Leicestershire 27th March 2024

Dave from the Wednesday line clearance gang rode with us on the 14.05 train to Loughborough and he took this shot as we climbed away from Rothley on BR Standard 2 78019.

Looking at that pressure gauge I should be getting ready to put the injector on rather than posing for his picture!
