Even with the over abundance of rain, the lack of sunlight and the continuous ups and downs of the temperature, Spring is close at hand.
JASPER, ALBERTA (CANADA) – Jasper’s Locomotive 6015 is one of 16 mountain-type engines built by the Canadian Locomotive Company of Kingston, Ontario in 1923 and used by Canadian National in fast freight and passenger service. It pulled the Canadian version of the Orient Express, a passenger train with exquisite wood-paneled cars and fine antique furnishings. This type of engine chugged through the natural beauty of Alberta at 100 miles per hour around the rugged Canadian Rockies. It needed about 10,000 gallons of water and 17 tons of coal. By the late 1950s, the steam engines were replaced by diesel locomotives. The Locomotive 6015 stands today as the mark of a time long gone by but never forgotten.

CSX train R-135 passes the little yard at JA in Koppel, PA on December 29, 1992. The cars in the yard were left by the local with CSX 1945, which ran light up the switchback to Koppel Steel. When it returns with the cars from the mill it will leave them in the yard and then take up the cars it had left here when it first arrived. This place was inaccessible for the most part, unless you hike in from the Koppel Bridge.

A male Pacific Forktail, one inch long on a piece of narrow bamboo in my favorite lagoon. It was for a time a favorite perch for both sexes.
Most field guides and apps tell you to look for the four blue dots on the thorax to give you the first clue that it's this species. The problem is that I see six blue dots on the black thorax and sometimes there's a blue reflection off each eye. View large and you'll see what I mean.
Books don't say much about them. Ischnura cervula, the Pacific forktail, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is found in Central America and North America. And that's about it. Though they are "numerous" and certainly not on any watchlist, I see 50 times more male bluets than forktails. However, this was for a brief time a weird beginning of the season when I spotted at least two female Pacific Fortails and no males for several weeks. (Be careful not to confuse these with the San Francisco Forktail.)
