September 5, 2019 - The Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range 332 steam locomotive from the Lake Superior Railroad Museum passes over the Big Sucker Creek Trestle, on the North Shore Line, as it pulls a photo excursion freight train north toward Twin Harbors from Duluth, Minnesota. According to Wikipedia: Duluth & Northeastern 28 (also known as Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range 332) is a restored 2-8-0 (consolidation) locomotive built in 1906 by the Pittsburgh Works of American Locomotive Company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was restored to operating condition by the Lake Superior Railroad Museum from 2011-2017, and now operates in excursion service on the North Shore Scenic Railroad.

The Photo Line!!

September 4, 2019 – Part of the photo line during the night photo shoot in Duluth, Minnesota at a recent photo charter at the Lake Superior Railroad Museum on the North Shore Line. I really enjoy taking part in photo charters! They give you an opportunity to photograph trains in spots that would otherwise be unavailable.

September 20, 2019 - CSX empty coal train E303 heads across the liftbridge at Bridgeport, Alabama as it heads north over the Tennessee River on the Chattanooga Subdivision. From what I can find on the web, "The original span was a swing type drawbridge constructed in 1852 by the Nashville & Chattanooga RR. That structure was replaced in 1890 by another swing type by successor line Louisville & Nashville. Current span was completed in 1981. The central lift section was taken from another bridge that had been abandoned on an L&N line at Danville, TN. It was dismantled, shipped to this site, and reassembled in place."
