If you’re ever in Memphis, TN, the best place for beer and trains is the Wiseacre OG Taproom on Broad Ave (not the downtown HQ). We went back last weekend for their annual Taste the Rarity beer fest and there were several mainline trains during the 4 hour event. The only picture I took that was worth anything was this one, but hey, it’s a pretty cool shot.



PS: Wiseacre is the second best brewery in town: go to Meddlesome in Cordova and tell Chris that Sawyer sent you.

Scrolling through my old photos, I found this one that I took at work in 2019.  Not the best quality, but it was a cool find.  Looking from the deck of the M/V American Spirit loading at the DM&IR Ore Dock in Duluth, we can see a Canadian Pacific road switcher (a GP9?) shoving a former Soo Line GP30 and a caboose along the Duluth Transfer Railway.  I think these belong to the Lake Superior Railroad Museum collection.  BNSF owns the DT but most other railroads seem to have trackage rights along here, as I've seen the UP run through here, along with many CN stone jobs bound out of Hallett #5 and CN ground storage heading up the hill to Proctor Yard and the taconite mines up north.  Pure luck that I was looking in the right direction.  To be fair, I tend to look towards the tracks pretty often when I'm there!

Five One Rail Australia (ORA) locomotives, all EMD-powered,  CLF6/CLP8/G535/CLP17/G533 lift #2182 loaded Tailem Bend to Port Adelaide grain train up the grade from Callington, South Australia, yesterday 28 April 2022. ORA still has four of these 1970 built (1993 rebuilt) 3300hp units in service, plus another 2 stored, but getting one leading through the Adelaide Hills has been pretty uncommon of late.
