A pair of Slug sets work Butler yard as snow starts to pick up and the temps start to fall below zero. The 461 looks fresh and clean and also smokes nicely in the dusk hours.
Thank you for your support and friendship. Wishing you all a wonderful 2026 filled with happiness, exciting new chances, love, harmony, and friendship. And most of all, Peace!

UP's Marsh Job, LPA55, heads west through the gritty industrial backdrops on the west side of Milwaukee as it heads toward its terminus at Butler Yard. The single GP40-2 has a large train of about 50 cars in tow, so they were notched out pulling through here. The Marsh Job switches out UP's share of the traffic around the Port of Milwaukee.
Our nephew was married this past weekend on a unique venue called Butler Farm in rural Tennessee. Here is one of several photos I took of the venue.

Shooting a lighthouse in the middle of a storm..0/10, would not recommend!
I think this is November 94 after trainfest. Anyways, GP7 switches cars at the north end of the yard. The geeps, the yard office and the signal bridge are all gone.
No spectacular sunset for this photo unfortunately, just another grey overcast day in London. Oh well, this is an interesting view anyway across butlers wharf with the London Skyline spread out in the distance. I hope you like it :-)

One of the remaining few Butler yard jobs crawls west onto the 124th Street Spur for their only remaining customer there - Wallboard who receives centerbeam loads of drywall in the industrial park area.
It's not only pretty rare to catch this in decent daylight, but they almost always shove a load on the head end and pull an empty out on the reverse move, so usually the shot is completely crap of the power move. In the past handful of times I've seen this job move the past couple years, these are the only salvageable shots.

I had a fat quarter pack of some Amy Butler Charm fabric. My inspiration for this quilt was a combination of looking at Kaffe Fassett's nine patch quilts as well as a vintage quilt I saw on ebay. I tried to group the colors in areas on the quilt and have 3 similar quilt blocks next to each other similar to the vintage quilt I had seen.

There are notes on the photo.
“These cliff dwellings were built and occupied by the Anasazi Indians approximately 700 years ago. This ruin reflects the full range of living activities: habitation, ceremonial, farming, hunting, storage, and tool making. It contains four kivas, underground chambers where ceremonial activities took place. Three of the kivas are of the round Mesa Verde type most common in this area. The fourth kiva is a square type more commonly found in ruins to the south in Arizona. This indicates that the Anasazi here at Butler Wash were dominated by the Mesa Verde culture to the east and influenced less by the Kayenta culture to the south. Likewise, the ceramics found during stabilization indicate a pure Mesa Verde occupation during the 1200’s AD.
The kivas at this site are located toward the front of the largest cave, while habitation and storage rooms are visible behind them and in various caves and niches around the canyon.
The people who lived here farmed and hunted. Corn, beans, and squash were grown in the deep alluvial soils of the broad canyon to the south. A cycle of deep arroyo cutting may have made agriculture impossible by lowering the ground water level and making irrigation unfeasible. The current deep wash is a result of an erosion cycle which started in the 1890’s.
Whatever the reason – drought, overuse of natural resources, or waring neighbors – this site was abandoned before 1300 AD.” (US Bureau of Land Management)
