My relatives used to run a small post office … the stamps they collected provided a view into history, art & politics.
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.
Gannets with black iris in the eye are those that have recovered from avian flu. This one seems to have lost its blue pigmentation but doesn't look as completely black as others do.
UP 4013 and a BNSF motor team up collecting grain along the CP Detroit Lakes Subdivision. Its current train has loaded grain from CHS in Hazel south of Thief River Falls. The detector near Plummer found a problem mid-train, so it suffered a delay immediately after getting underway. It is seen here south of Brooks.

Unfortunately I made a beginners mistake setting a wrong - too short - exposure but managed to somewhat recover from the resulting noise in post-processing.
It was sea-misty but with some periods of brightness. They showed off the beautiful black of Our Bird, a Scrub Blackbird. It was collecting nesting material in a just-watered flowerbed of geraniums in a cliff-top park at Miraflores. Now and then a second bird would utter its really very melodious song. Warszewiczi is for Józef Warszewicz (1812-1866), Polish botanist and inveterate naturalist and traveler. In a second voyage to South America 1851-1853, he was at Guayaquil, Ecuador, robbed of everything he had but continued his travels to Peru until ill health forced him back to Europe.
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.

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.
