After a major winter storm dumped several feet of snow in the Washington Cascades, the iconic Burlington Northern plow that is assigned to the Scenic Sub was brought out to clear the tracks after it was shutdown for over 48 hours due to downed trees, power outages, and trains stalling on the 2.2% grade between Skykomish and Scenic as the heavy "Cascade Cement" caused havoc on the railroads "longshot" planning.

Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!
You know you’re in Amsterdam when even the cleanup becomes a spectacle. Apparently, when you’re finished with a bicycle and it’s beyond repair, you just throw it into the canal… and every now and then you stumble across the city hauling them back out again.
I’ve only ever seen this once, and it was such a thrill to photograph — a strange mix of urban archaeology and everyday Dutch practicality. Just another reason wandering through Amsterdam never gets old. The city always has a surprise waiting around the corner, even at the bottom of a canal.
Almost all done picking up falling leaves - HURRAH So far over the past week, I have filled eight 30-gallon yard waste bags. And thanks to the high winds we’ve been having, neighbors down the street I am sure are enjoying their Fall season The temps just dropped into the mid-20s f, so the last of the leaves can wait :-)

A month after Hurricane Helene, I decided to circumvent the road blocks and walk down to the retail district of South Tunnel Road and Swannanoa River Road. This is an area that primarily serves residents rather than the tourist trade. It is located just below the Asheville Mall with a Lowes, Walgreens, Goodwill and some of our favorite independent restaurants. While everyone is working hard, it seems like cleanup has years to go.
Just outside Tunnel 2 at Plainview, Colorado, a wreck occurred on the Moffat Road in spring of 1972. Because locomotives were involved, wreck outfits from both Denver and Grand Junction were quickly called to the scene. Former D&SL 120-ton derrick 029 and D&RGW Bucyrus-Erie 250-ton “big hook” 028 from Grand Junction (nicknamed “Samson de Grande”) work in unison to lift Rio Grande GP35 No. 3043 back onto the rails. GP7 No. 5101 and a Great Northern boxcar are still left to be rescued on the rocky slope below. The action, of course, takes place on my N scale (1/160 scale) Moffat Road model railroad.
And now the cleanup begins. My office was without power for most of the day, so I worked remotely. Madison’s biggest utility had the most power outages in their history, dozens of roads were blocked and the entire Madison school district was closed. Ours was open but there seemed like fewer kids than usual - plenty of power outages in our city too.
It's been such a long time since my house has been littered with toys. It feels good to have a little one around.
When Chloe leaves, after spending the day with me, we put her toys back in a box, but there's always a few that get overlooked during cleanup.
It makes me smile when I come across them later, and to know she'll be back to play with them again very soon.

With cars and debris strewn about, New York Central's Southwestern Limited came to grief after derailing at the diamond crossing in Wellington, OH on January 10, 1960. The big hook is in the back, doing cleanup work. With Coach 2939 to the left, Coach 2956 deflected outward and was awaiting removal. Note the shankless coupler still attached to this end of 2956. 2956 had been built by Budd in 1947. It was one of a group of 60 56 Seat Coaches built for the NYC by Budd in 1946/47 on Lot 9613-004. It would then operate in various parts of the Great Steel Fleet until this incident. Although the side facing appears to be undamaged, just visible is a lump in the roof where the other side of the car took a big hit. The damage was enough that 2956 was retired after this wreck.

The village street crew has a tough job. They have to maintain the streets for both snowmachines and wheeled vehicles.
This means keeping the snow at a depth that is safe for traction, turning and braking for all vehicles.
First a blade, then a plow, then remove the excess. Good on 'em.
