Rusted Rails Photography I take train photos of trains with dslr and a drone. My main focus is on worndown, rusty, and older trains, but I also do seasonal shots.

If you use older photos of mine on your posts please GIVE CREDIT!

have anyone been here? Im looking to go to the overlook and am wondering if i should just walk or ride a bike. I doubt the road goes far up the mountain so I don’t know what kind of steep and un maintained road or path I’m dealing with. It’s also hunting season so i might wanna just wait.

I was out saturday to catch some Railroad activity and the storm over the steel mill. While standing near miles of tracks, steel bridges and structures I managed to capture a few lightning flashes, and one lightning strike directly on the U.S. Steel building’s roof.

my survival instinct told me to get back in the car, but I couldn’t resist the chance of getting a cool picture, even if I might end up as a lightning strike statistic.

In the second photo I’m lucky that the lightning zigged then zagged a few meters over my head and into the mill site instead of zagging then zigging down to where I was standing☠️.

The first photo is of 76B or C crew shoving up the low-grade as the second wave of storms approach from the southwest.

I have updated lots of areas on my website and have turned most of the pages on. I have made multiple new pages including printing photos, historical prints, my library, and a store.

Cool place to see Norfolk Southern’e OAR train. Sadly the old blue Conrail caboose was moved to Tarentum Yard up the Allegheny River. I don’t know if it’s accessible or not Ive never been there.

The news teams and first responders were making a story about the OAR being down in Island Avenue Yard. First responders were going to be doing hazmat containment, fire response and other activities on it to be prepared for an accident like NS’s East Palestine Ohio derailment mess if one could happen around Pittsburgh.

I didn’t see them preparing on it, but I was allowed back to a small extent before the training & news coverage started.

SMS Millcraft had their shipping bay door open. I don’t know if URR just dropped off their flat car in that large building or if they were going to go there to pick something up soon. Either way my personal battery ran out before I could find out.

Yesterday‘s rain was pretty serious. I didn’t think it would come down this hard on me while I was out. What I would’ve done to be in that caboose to get dry and out of the rain. I think this was 66 crew on their way down to Port Perry to get coke empties.

I feel like posting old photos and go back to taking photos of rust and grime. Here is C-28 working the west end of Island Avenue Yard. These cars don’t fit inside of the main portion of the yard for Allegheny Valley railroad. So they have to leave them on the main tracks for AVR to pick up. I do not know if these tracks between CP Bell and CP ISLE are part of Island Ave. Yard or part of the Conemaugh/PGH line.

More photos of America 250th anniversary ALCO, EMD, & GE locomotives at North Carolina Transportation Museum’s grass patch during the parade as the golden hour began. The sun was hot and the humidity was brutal, but the weather made for good photos if one could handle it.
