Ten years ago Amtrak released several heritage schemes to celebrate their 40th Anniversary.
It took 10 years to see them all, with the last one being the phase II scheme. I never did see 66, but 130 is just as good, especially when it recently got its paint refreshed.
I'm finally all caught up, that is until the 50th Anniversary schemes Amtrak revealed last week get released into the wild.
Amtrak 130 leads the "Birthday Builder" (I'm leveling up to 25 today) into Big Lake.

Seen here the Empire Builder is still triweekly, but come May 24, it's back to daily service.

This is currency from three wars, WWI Germany, WWII Japan MC, and Vietnam MC. My great-grandfather collected currency (paper & coins) from around the world, which was helped along by all the family member's travels. The collection was passed on to my grandfather, who passed it on to me...and I continue to add to it. It will be passed on to one of my nephews, when I deem one of them responsible enough.

Unfortunately I made a beginners mistake setting a wrong - too short - exposure but managed to somewhat recover from the resulting noise in post-processing.
What if all those forgotten dolls were really alive? Every wooden carving a vessel for a soul. And just like a child they craved attention.But as cruel as fate would have it,they had none. What if every day of collecting dust, they only became stronger. From wood to flesh, and from flesh to reality. Days of longing,would now be turned to hate. The twinkling of a music box to send shivers down your spine.

Every town has THAT house. Old. Decrepit. Creepy. It sits amongst trees that are dead, standing over a yard overgrown with weeds. Shutters swing in the breeze, hanging on by rusted hinges. The paint has chipped away. More shingles lie amongst the weeds than on the roof. At least one window is broken. Dark clouds always seem to hover over the house, situated on a dead end street.
And then there are the stories. A man went mad and murdered his whole family in the house. There’s an old woman who died there and she didn’t want anyone else to live there. One night, the house suffered a fire and a baby died in it. On and on, with a tragic death at the center.
Because then come the other stories. Go there at night and you can hear screams coming from the house! Don’t go inside because if you do, the old woman will chase you down! People who stay in the house hear the cries of an infant and smell smoke at night.
The house fascinates me. It always has, ever since I was a child and I first heard the stories. It is another October. Time to collect the odd stories about the house, my favorite part of the year.

I've shot this place behind the food lion in town before but used a 35mm and wasnt totally thrilled with the results and wanted to go back to use a 50. Its about the size of an old Kmart and just full of stuff of all kinds. It used to be a textile mill, Upholstery shop and other things. Now its for collecting .
I was out with a photographer friend yesterday and mentioned it since we were heading towards town and she said yeah lets check it out.
I got out and set up the tripod, release, CPL and focus and I hear someone coming out of the back. He looks at me says, " There must be better things to shoot than the junk in there". I disagreed and said the beauty of decay is underrated sir. He then laughed and agreed and told me about his father who was a photographer way back when he was a kid. So he told me a bout how good his father was and wished he pursued it more.
Turns out his son owns the building and just sold it , its scheduled for demolition soon he told me so I asked him if he would mind posing downstairs since he was part of its history, he agreed.
This is Tim down below ,shot through a broken out window on the right side. What you see hanging is the roof falling in , hence the light from above and the hot spots everywhere. The CPL was about no match for those but they work with it I think.. Thank you to Tim and Joyce!

Thanks to all of you for checking out my work, appreciate all of you!
Inspired by the hours of collecting these fucking things, here are some of the more memorable collectible items from the Arkham Franchise. You also may notice I have more than a few Riddler trophies, as I have been stockpiling them for no discernible reason.
Items included in this picture would be; Riddler trophies, destructible penguins, Joker teeth, and patient interview tapes. Not to mention Batman himself.

66165 moves slowly alongside the lower loader at Treviscoe. It was another 2 hours before it had moved clear, by which time I had gone.
The train worked up as the 07:21 from Fowey Dock arriving at around 09:05. I paused here on transit between Portreath and Sheffield. Having run around about a mile south of Parkandillack the first half was loaded and ran down to Burngullow around 12:45. The remainder was loaded and was booked to run 15:25 Parkandillack to Fowey, collecting the first 'drop' at Burngullow between 16:00 and 16:25. Typical of these workings it ran to Fowey 70 early on this day.
