Working rail roads and their tracks.

[the old grind]

With apologies to wander OT I just want to share this for any that are into Shays, Heislers, or Climaxes because this guy's reviews always include some footage of the item in action on his line/layout.

Now, back to the usual good stuff.

The Cleveland-Cliffs Company operates the Presque Isle Ore Dock at Marquette, Michigan and hauls ore from its mines to the dock on the Lake Superior & Ishpeming Railroad.

I took a couple of pictures while on my bicycle ride today. I was going to make up a bunch of random names and numbers and say that’s what these engines are but I don’t know enough about trains to even make stuff up.

Our first place in Texas was across from a very active BNSF route; it took a little to get used to it, but before long I loved watching the trains go by.

The lead locomotive is an General Electric ES44C4, which rides on three axle trucks, but only the leading and trailing axles are powered, making it an A1A-A1A wheel arrangement.
Couldn't make out the unit number on the trailing locomotive, but it has a different radiator, so it is probably a different variation of the ES44.
