A dash of Autumn colour near Hencote, as 44871 & 45407 accelerate away from Shrewsbury and on towards Chester.
Fall accelerates:
Another walk around one of the lakes here. I was surprised, fall colors were basically absent only few days ago, now there is obviously more to see. I hope color will build up a bit in the next weeks, and it's not gone before it really starts.
I did boost color in these a bit, it was a dull day.

Class 91 electric locomotive No. 91127 gets away from Leeds propelling 1A39, the 15:45 service to London King's Cross on Monday 11th February 2019.
Living over 200 miles from Leeds I doubt that I will ever see this sight again but, given that I have connections with the city, it's not impossible. I've read in the railway press that LNER plans to retire all 91/Mk4/DVT combinations from its fleet by June 2020.
The photograph shows the "91" simply doing what members of the 31-strong class have done day in, day out for three decades, and they represent a triumph of BR-era design and engineering skills. These locomotives have beaten the A4s, the Deltics and the HSTs in terms of endurance, working top flight expresses between London and Yorkshire, the North East and Edinburgh for longer than any of those classic predecessors. For this achievement they are deserving of respect, as are the men and women in all rail industry capacities who have kept these trains running over the years. The signs are that some "Inter-City 225" sets at least will find work elsewhere on the national network, so that is something different to look forward to.
Q542 accelerates past Wyvern after waiting for A718 to clear up back into Wyvern yard. On this day, 542 was ordered to dropoff their cars destined for here at North Yard several miles to the south in an effort to save time while A718 headed back for home base. 1-31-20

"People who buy the Vantage will do so in the first place for its performance, and they will not be disappointed. The figures speak for themselves. But they should take extra heart because it is one of the easiest true high performance cars to drive well: and it has been given brakes to match. In comfort too, it has much to offer, and there is a great deal of what is best in the British tradition of designing and building sports cars in its making." - Autocar.
The performance figures Autocar referred to were a 0-60mph time of 5.4 seconds and an estimated top speed of 170mph, figures comparable with those achievable by a Ferrari Daytona or Lamborghini Miura.
With the introduction of the Vantage in 1977, Aston Martin's V8 was thrust back into the supercar league. Its superior performance aside, the Vantage was readily distinguishable from the standard product by virtue of its blocked-off bonnet scoop, blanked air intake, front chin spoiler and lip on the boot lid.
ZF five-speed manual transmission was standard equipment, though a handful of Vantages were built with the Torqueflite automatic gearbox. With either transmission performance was shattering, the Vantage's 0-100mph time of 12.7 seconds making it the world's fastest accelerating production car at that time. For those with a yen for even greater performance, there was the factory's optional 'X-Pack' engine (like this example's) which, depending on the state of tune, had up to 432bhp available.
As the Vantage's mechanical specification progressed so did the coachwork, with wheel arches flaring to accommodate wider rims, increasing the overall width by 2", and 16"-diameter wheels being introduced. Unlike the V8 saloon, which reverted to fuel injection in 1986, the V8 Vantage kept its 48IDF Weber carburettors to the end of production in December 1989, by which time 361 cars had been built.
Copy documents on file reveal that this particular Vantage was built to West German specification and delivered via Merz & Pabst. The car was finished in Salisbury Blue with grey leather interior; unusually, the specified dark blue piping was applied to the front seats and armrests only, the rest of the piping being grey. Other 'extras' consisted of dash top roll and steering wheel in dark blue, rear valance in body colour and a Blaupunkt Bremen radio cassette player. The Vantage subsequently moved to the UK where it was first registered on 1st August 1998 as 'E149 BKM'.
The current vendor purchased the Aston from The Old Racing Car Company of Richmond-on-Thames, UK on 28th June 2008, since when it has been kept in storage. Re-commissioning will be required before the car returns to the road.
Accelerating through the Paris suburbs is one of the TGV sets that inaugurated the first LGV service in 1981. The Sud-Est sets, of which this is number 53, lasted in service until 2019, although the orange livery began to disappear before the turn of the century.

Class 45 45107 accelerates away from Leyland with a Liverpool Lime Street to Preston Service on September 3rd 1986. This out and back tea-time service from Lime Street brought the none too common sight of a 'Peak' to Preston. The loco was utilised on a 'fill-in' turn having been used on a transpennine working to Liverpool. The train is travelling on the Down Slow line, just to right of the first coach was the site of the siding that once led to the adjacent Leyland Motors Foundry complex.

Arriving downtown I had to wonder if I was about to repeat the last time I went after a Magnetation train and landed trackside with 30 seconds to spare; headlight to the east on M2! Then I got a closer look; it was an NS powered oil. For some reason it was sitting just east of Fairview Ave even though it had a clear green, so what was up? Train failure, accident, picking up some rolls from Pepperidge Farm, well we’ll never know, but after holding for another five minutes it got on the move. Perfect, there’s nothing like the sound of a train getting on the move!

ScotRail 385024 leads a friend quickly away from Prestonpans forming 2Y20 Edinburgh - North Berwick.
Night shot of the upper and lower decks. Taken from I-35 and 38th 1/2
Been wanting to take this shot for a while now. This is a five image HDR. -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, processed in Photomatix Pro and then CS5. I've been following a fellow flickr member's tutorials/advice and used some of the techniques he posted to process this. After initially processing the 5 images, I processed a single image with the best light trails using similar settings. Then masked the light trails in to get rid of the ghosting. It worked out well...I think. I think I need more practice, but overall, I'm happy with it. Oh! and my levitation skills are sick!...Check out Neil's tutorials here, if you're interested.
45013 accelerates away from Burton on Trent with 1E29, 0825 Paignton - Sheffield, 15th August 1981.
Locomotive History
45013 was built in Derby works as D20, entering traffic in February 1961 allocated to Derby MPD. In June 1961 it transferred to Leeds Neville Hill and in December 1962 transferred across the city to Leeds Holbeck. Apart from a three year spell at Toton from August 1968 it would spend the next thirteen years at Holbeck, before transferring to York for a short spell and finally transfer to Tinsley in 1980 its final depot. 45013 was withdrawn in April 1987 and dumped at March where it would slowly decay for over six years until on the 4th February 1994 along with 45114 and 45122 it was towed to MC Metals Glasgow and broken up on arrival.

Rather strangely for someone with a long standing railway enthusiasm, yesterday I visited Colton Junction for the first time. It is rightly a popular location.
Here, yesterdays Crewe to Scarborough special in the hands of the very smart looking Caledonian Sleeper liveried 47727 is seen accelerating from a signal check.
I hope you like the panning here. It's not very sharp, because I'm still learning. This photo is taken with 1/50 exposure. Is it enough, or should I take 1/25 or even more? Mercedes SLS AMG. Maximilianstraße. 16.07.2011
