The drive into the beautiful town of Swifts Creek was definitely a colourful. We struck gold with the weather and our timing of the Autumn colours.
UP 1439 & 1361 approach Trimont, Minnesota staring down a pair of grade crossings, mainly Minnesota route 4. Very pleasant rural scenery on the Fairmont Subdivision.

Following the trail up the back of the dune, we reached the first point where we could get a clear view of the stream and lake.

As we bid adieu to the warmth of summer's embrace, we find ourselves on the precipice of autumn's arrival. The world transforms into a canvas of vivid hues, a tapestry of crimson and gold, where every leaf tells a story of change. It's a season that invites introspection, a time when nature itself seems to pause and take a deep breath. As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, we're reminded of the beauty that resides in letting go, in the graceful dance of transition. So, as autumn approaches, let us embrace this chapter of transformation with open hearts, for it's a reminder that change can be as beautiful as the falling leaves.

The last two weeks passed quickly since the release of MMV's TransMontana ( flic.kr/p/2oShMTV ). The weather was so stormy in those days when I visited the lake Balaton. This one hit with a heavy downpourshortly after its arrival, but before that it provided an amazing sight.

Train approaches Wapping station from Rotherhithe, in London's Docklands, emerging from under the Thames.
This may look like the London Underground, but is in fact part of the London Overground network.
The tunnel was originally constructed by Brunel, completed in 1843, and believed to be the world's first tunnel constructed under a navigable river.
Originally intended for horse drawn carriages and pedestrian traffic it was later converted to be used by trains.
Crompton D6593 approaches Newport Station with a Crewe to Cardiff special at a time when there were plenty of loco hauled services to the Principality stadium for Rugby and Football events. 21.08.99.
This storm took a long time approaching with overcast clouds, alternating with sun. Changeable weather makes for interesting skies. The day was quite windy from the west leaving Georgian Bay smooth and still. We finally got our thunderstorm in the evening hours.... summer weather in March!!
From a family Easter vacation at Skagen, Denmark - April 19, 2019.
Here we are on a morning walk near the old sand-covered church.
There is growing concern (since 2010) that the volcano on Ischia could erupt in the near future. It is considered more likely for Ischia than for its more famous Italian counterpart, Vesuvius.
Early morning sun paints the sky as a CSX southbound is lined at NS Tower in Lima. The train will cross over to the main at Eureka Street, the next interlocking south.
A storm approaches on the marsh. Winter in south Georgia is still quite warm with lots of rain. Much is dead and gloom hangs overhead. A change of pace is needed.
After 60085 had left Skipton bound for Leeds there was about four hours to kill before the next action I had spotted in the area. I missed the New Biggin in the timetable. Anyway I thought it would be a good time to explore the Embsay and Bolton Railway railway where No 7 and 37294 were found to be working services.
37294 seen approaching Prior Lane from Bolton Abbey. The siding to the left presumably serving a local quarry. Any clues would be welcomed.
