It’s not really a photo to write home about, but I’ve been in Queretaro, MX, for work this week and saw this one Ferromex train holding the main while we were driving some colleagues to the airport yesterday. On the way back we were on the highway side facing the train and the other train with the string of hoppers was taking the siding while the first train was still holding the main.

That Hapag-Lloyd engine looks interesting. I remember Norfolk Southern and Santa Fe had some of their engines painted for Maersk.

You never know which "heritage" covered hoppers might show up on the Delmarva Central...

CSX adding over 200 miles to interchange cars from the Maryland Midland adds more variety to the westbound locals thru Gettysburg.  Return of the 2 bay covered hoppers to this section of the Hanover Sub
