Northbound Reading and Northern train NRFF is passing the intermediate signal at MP LS 149 of modern day RBMN's Lehigh Division mainline at a spot on the railroad known as Berger's. Unlike the signals on the Reading Division which were all reinstalled by RBMN, the signals on the upper Lehigh Line date to NS, CR, and predecessors LV or CNJ.

N&W J 611 climbs the Loops near Old Fort, North Carolina during it's April 10, 2016 trip to Ashville.
Spined Citrus Bug (Biprorulus bibax (Subfamily Pentatominae - Shield Bug))
I thought this one deserved another look.
Happy Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday!

A southbound Union Pacific manifest freight climbs the Tehachapi Pass grade through Bealville, California, on the morning of February 26, 2016. The train is powered by a pair of new GE ET44ACs and a pair of older GE ES44ACs.
So great to see Wilson fit enough for little climbs and half hour walks in good speed. Might completely overcome the cancer by the CBD treatment. So happy about this!!

Just a tree rat climbing a tree, taken June of this year at the Ravines Park.
To date this short one day visit was the only time I got to visit the famed former Norfolk and Western mainline, now Norfolk Southern's Pocahontas District. I really need to get back here some day!
An eastbound coal load behind a pair of EMDs is passing beneath the vintage N&W era color position light signals at MP 377.1 as they climb the 1.4 grade and cross the line from McDowell County into Mercer County. The slide fences guard the approach to Elkhorn Tunnel whose west portal is just behind me. That 7100 ft double track bore under Flat Top Mountain opened in 1950 along with a five mile long bypass of the historic 2.5% Elkhorn grade replacing a single track tunnel dating from 1889 and leading to the shut down of N&W's 50 miles of electrictrification.

This is another location that is extremely well shot for obvious reasons, but amazingly I'd never before seen this classic location for myself.
Vermont Railway train RDHJ is see again here at about MP 13.6 on the B&R Sub (former Rutland Railway) approaching the East Arlington Rd. crossing as they pass the historic depot dating from 1913 that is now available to rent if you wish. Check this out on VRBO: www.vrbo.com/1175304
Man GP38-2 201 (built new for the fledging VTR in Dec. 1972) sure sounded amazing notched out climbing the grade here. I'm not sure of the grade around the curve here, but it was more than I expected. If any VTR experts can weigh in on that I'd be grateful!

With the imposing Livingston Peak rising in the background, 6800 feet of traffic begins its slow climb over Bozeman Pass with two freshly washed EMD's in charge. The town of Livingston can be seen in the background as the mountains fade into prairie before climbing back up to the Crazy Mountains near Big Timber.
Here is another photo taken at the viewing tower I visited today. There will be more, after all I risked my life to get these photos. I think this capture was taken on the first of three floors and I guess that was the moment when I asked myself for the first time if I had a screw loose. When I arrived at the top I KNEW that I had a screw loose.
No cat photo today, I had to take Cleo and Linus to the vet this afternoon and they aren't in the mood for photos. And Fynn is angry because he had to stay at home.
Climbing some railings in Ardoyne while on walk about with the International Peripatetic Sculptor’s Society.
Vermont Railway train 263 is grinding eastward on the Green Mountain Railroad's Bellows Falls Subdivision on a cloudy late fall morning. They are approaching the popular photo location at the s-curve leading into the first Vermont Route 103 crossing at about MP 45.7 on this historic former Rutland mainline which opened between Bellows Falls and Burlington in 1849. In the lead is SD70M-2 431 built in December 2006 for the Florida East Coast, and one of only two six axle units on the roster. She is trailed by three geeps (GMTX 2215, CLP 204, VTR 207) and thirty cars destined for Riverside Yard in Rockingham. The train is working hard and is in the process of climbing nearly 1000 ft in the 18 mile stretch from Rutland until they reach the crest of the Green Mountains at 1518 ft nearly aptly named Summit Station.
A half dozen miles to the west rise the 2000+ foot peaks of the Taconic Mountains which are catching some late morning sun that would prove elusive over here to the east in the Greens.

Amtrak’s westbound Southwest Chief climbs Raton Pass at Wootton, Colorado, on March 6, 2005. Two deadhead Superliner cars up front make for a strange looking train…
The landscape looked very different in the Pennine hills 14 years ago! 45407 and 76079 climb past Cornholme on the climb to Copy Pit on 4 March 2006.

When I first read other lynn's intro to Shocktober this year, I tactfully told her that altho I hadn't climbed any mts. in Az last winter, there were some hills that were pretty strenuous for me.
Right-o she said, so when I do your Halloween make over this year I'll put you on a hill you really did climb and I won't mess with you and make you look silly b/c you already do.
I let that slide.
But, she added, I may add some frills and Az wildlife to make it look more Halloweeny.
Ok, great.....or so I thought.
THIS is the hill she put me on and these are the frills and wildlife.
sigh
But never mind.
Shocktober has once again come to an end.
And once again, many thanks to all who joined in the the fun fearlessly. Bravery above and beyond the call of flickr duty.
And to those who added their own twisted images to Shocktober, you brought the season to new heights of depraved depths. You are all mad geniuses.
Kathy, thanks for administrating.
So now there's nothing left to do but say BOO and....
HAPPY HALLOWEEN 👹 😈 👻 👺 🎃 .....💋mmm-wah
