Railroads and Trains 2023

Railroads and Trains 2023 adds to the expanding Long - Long - Short . Long - annual recording of railway operational and livery changes and developments as seen along our local set of tracks. This year, we cover monthly observations, livery presence and change, plus additional expansions of shifts in operation noted, a possible resurgence in the caboose starting to brew, the venerable Connell interchange between Class I and local / regional rail traffic and freight, plus many other views to encompass train and rail activity over the past year.
In addition to lots of Pasco, Washington rail activity, there will be the usual Connell corridor and neighboring areas, a smattering look into Vancouver, Washington's BNSF Center and tracks near the Vancouver Amtrak Station, plus a dabbling down South with some coverage between the Pacific Northwest and Texas, including a nifty little dumb luck crossing in the mountainous west of some smaller railway flavors.
These helpful collections provide a running commentary and visual record of how some parts of the great North American Railroad Transportation complex function and operate. Useful for everyone from rail fans and railroad enthusiasts to model railroaders looking for solid representations of 1:1 scale rail procedures; or just for some cool train and locomotive pictures to look at and wile away the day while avoiding work or researching "How to look busy" when it's too close to quitting time to start something new. There's nothing like a visual vacation to escape daily drudgery.
