La sollicitude, la responsabilité, le respect et la connaissance sont en mutuelle interdépendance. Ces composantes de l'amour forment un syndrome d'attitudes que l'on rencontre chez la personne mûre, c'est-à-dire chez la personne qui fait fructifier ses virtualités propres, qui ne désire avoir que ce pour quoi elle a travaillé, qui a renoncé aux rêves narcissiques d'omniscience et d'omnipotence, qui a acquis l'humilité fondée sur la force interne que seule peut donner une activité véritablement productive.

Impossible
Almost unbelievably so, CP 7001 was set to lead a potash out of Hinkle early in the afternoon on a cloudless day in February. I set my sights on a bunch of shots that are fantastic given the time of year, but it’s almost impossible to shoot all of them. The window of sunlight for many of them given the time of year is usually only an hour or two with many miles between them. Like always, I go out with the intention of getting at least one perfect shot, with any extras being a pleasant surprise. Given how elusive these leaders are, the chance at anything usually requires an attempt to be made to shoot it.
At 1:04PM, it was official—the train was moving. Sunset was 4 hours and 30 minutes away, a massive amount of time to make something happen it seemed. Unfortunately, 4 and a half hours in railroad time evaporates quickly. It wasn’t long before they needed to tone up dispatch about stopping and talking them through a broken signal displaying a stop indication despite it being clear block. It turned out to be the best possible thing that could have happened. For the next 150 miles, the train did not stop. In what has been the greatest chase I have ever managed, I got him five times in 102 minutes, none more meaningful than my favorite spot here at Celilo.
In one of the few spots where it’s possible, all 190 loads of potash can be seen stretched out on an ideal U shaped curve. Like the leader, these Canadian potash trains are also quite elusive as they only run when a ship is in Portland awaiting their arrival. I haven’t figured out exactly how it works, but there only seem to be a few ships a month as the trains will show up for a few days before disappearing from the lineup again for some time.

After faring well through the great Texas freeze, some fantastic weather offered the chance to see a few trains last Saturday. Just after sunrise, a HOUGAT heads south at Hastings siding on the Mykawa Sub.
