Photographed the cygnet Trumpeter Swan close to it's parent off the Grindstone Marshes Trail in the RBG Hendrie Valley Sanctuary located in the City of Burlington Ontario Canada.

The most serious threat to the continued well-being of the Trumpeter Swan is the loss of habitat resulting from expanding human populations. People are also responsible for accidental deaths, although it is rare for these to have a serious effect on populations, except perhaps on a local scale. Such “accidents” include lead poisoning caused by the ingestion of lead shot in areas that are heavily shot over by hunters; collisions with human-made objects, most notably power transmission lines and other overhead wires; and occasional misidentification and illegal shooting.

An Operation Lifesaver special heads Southbound on Burlington Northern's Front Range Sub. on May 17th, 1990.
It is seen at the old Marshall Jct, which is North of Broomfield siding and about 20 miles or so North of Denver.
The power consisted of Burlington Northern SD60m #9243, Rio Grande SD50 #5512, Santa Fe "FP45 #5998 in "Super Fleet" Warbonnet paint and Union Pacific SD60m #6138.
The cars were Ski Train equipment with Southern Pacific heavyweight observation car "Oregon" bringing up the rear.
About to tie the other half of their train together after doubling over Mullen. Fifty car trains were the norm. Burlington Northern was beginning to double two trains for the trip west.
Of course, this maneuver didn't occur very long.

Chicago, Burlington & Quincy EMD E5 No. 9911-A and the Nebraska Zephyr Budd-built streamliner trainset rests in a siding at Burlington, Wisconsin, on the night of September 29, 1993. This classy Zephyr from the Illinois Railway Museum collection made a somewhat uncommon off-site trip for an ARM convention running on the Wisconsin Central main line from Burlington to Neenah and return the next day. While photographing the stainless-steel steed that night, illuminating the locomotive was a bit like trying to light up a mirror with flashbulbs.
I always thought that Burlington Northern GE's wore the "whiteface" scheme well, as exemplified by C30-7 #5067.
It is leading on a Southbound loaded coal train along with 3 other BN GE's and a lone Santa Fe EMD and were heading through Fountain, CO in September of 1989.
The train is using Santa Fe tracks as part of the South section (Crews to Bragdon) of the Rio Grande-Santa Fe Joint Line.
Burlington Northern GP50 #3123 in the "tiger stripe" scheme is the solo engine on Eastbound train #24 (Seattle to Kansas City) as it follows along the Yellowstone River just East of Billings, MT on May 25th, 1989.
Metra's latest heritage unit rolls westbound through Highlands station in Hinsdale Illinois on train 1235. This F40PHM-3 is painted in light of the CB&Q passenger units which wore this scheme.
Quaint little enclave near the waterfront with restaurants and shops. It was empty on a foggy chilly Easter weekend but it has a potential to be bustling on a nice day.
A southbound Burlington Northern unit coal train waits for a signal at Spruce, CO on June 10, 1988, led by Oakway SD60 No. 9044.

I only spent one night in Burlington during my Fall Leaf Peeping Vacation in 2019. I'd spent two nights in New Hampshire, and the days were filled with lots of miles, and lots of photography. After a day of attempting (and largely succeeding) in photographing most of the covered bridges along the Ashuelot River, I finally checked into the hotel and retired at about 9pm.
I wanted to photograph the sun rising above Lake Champlain, but would have had to drive around the lake. I almost missed the sunrise altogether, because when I realized I wouldn't have time to get to the "right place" I had a bite to eat at the breakfast bar, which was open at 6am, and as I packed my things in the car, noticed the pinkness was fantastic.
It was only a few blocks to the downtown area, and this is the first photo I took after I parked the car.
A young James Belmont, poses with a CB&Q hopper car in BN's Bozeman, Montana yard on May 25, 1986. This is the sole piece of original Burlington rolling stock I've seen in my lifetime. The car was marked at some point for "Beet Loading Only" and sadly, for dismantling.
A mix of Burlington Northern and Union Pacific engines hustle an empty coal train alongside Nebraska Highway 2 as they travel North out of Alliance and head towards Crawford Hill in June of 1993.
The consist included BN C30-7 #5534, UP SD40-2 "snoot" 3454, BN C30-7 5551 and a trio of UP engines with SD40-2 3741, C30-7 2412 and an ex-Missouri Pacific SD40-2 without dynamic brakes, the 4213.
A trio of remanufactured Burlington Northern four-axle engines head Northbound on the Front Range Subdivision at Westminster, CO on train #597 in October of 1990.
Lead engine GP39V #2964 was run through the VMV shop at Livingston, MT and was originally Chesapeake & Ohio GP35 #3536.
The two trailing engines were both sent to the Morrison Knudsen plant at Boise, ID and were classified as GP39M's.
Second engine #2875 was originally Great Northern GP35 #3026 and then Burlington Northern #2509.
The third engine was built as Great Northern GP30 #3013 and then to Burlington Northern #2213.

Its 1975 were at Burlington Northern Eola yard just outside of Aurora IL with a transfer train leaving the yard with GP-30 .[Happy 30 Thursday ]
Burlington Northern Caboose-12579, in the distance splitting the signals, is leading an E/B MOW hopper train on BN's Hi-Line Sub. Power is R to L: GP38X-2188, GP38-2-2262 & GP39-2-2738. BN Caboose-12004 is on the rear. Little Dog & Summit Mountain peaks are towering above.
Burlington Northern SDP40 #6399, the only one of this type of engine to receive the "Whiteface" scheme leads on a Westbound "Beer Run" as it approaches the end of the tracks at Golden, CO in February of 1990.
It is passing equipment that was parked on a spur track awaiting movement into the Colorado Railroad Museum.
The Rotary snowplow is Colorado & Southern #99201.
I am not sure of the steam engines heritage or engine number.
New towers are constantly going up in downtown Burlington. There is currently another city block being demolished to make way for another tower.
Was down in Burlington earlier this week with the family on our annual trip to visit my grandmother. Was odd being in Burlington with cool weather and clouds for most of the week. Tuesday was the only day the sun broke out for the afternoon.
The Burlington Junction is seen that afternoon shoving a big 18 car train towards the BNSF yard, passing under the Great River Bridge on June 12, 2018. The BJRY is about to end their day as they will next run their odd Alco C415 701 light back to the bottoms to tie up.
Once the sun broke out on this afternoon it was a hot and humid 90 degrees. Hot and humid is the weather I remember for just about every trip to Burlington over the years as we have always made the trip in summer.
It's an EMD SD40-2...but then, you knew that, didn't you?

While I'm unsure on the exact former use of this General Railway System Co. structure in the deep woods on Stevens Pass, the lock had the letters "BN" carved into it. This caught my eye and I tried to get a semi-interesting photo of the lock, hopefully this passes as that. Over 30 years since the Burlington Northern merged to create BNSF, there's still traces of them deep on Stevens Pass.
