The pose caught reminds me of a conductor, hence the title.

Conductor Collin Weis is holding down the left hand seat on UP Train GSY3HO 04 led by a newly rebuilt C44ACM that was once a Dash-9 known as CNW 8683 on Main Track 1 of the CPKC Kansas City Sub. at Minneville. Back in familiar settings, this engine was surely no stranger to the Spine Line when it was new.

While headed southbound to Fall River, Conrail WNMI-2 is about to duck under the Golf Club Rd. OH bridge near Somerset Jct. The Fall River Secondary & the New Bedford Subdivision are both in the process of being rebuilt as part of the MBTA South Coast Rail commuter rail restoration project, which is scheduled to open later this year.. While MassDot owns these lines, Mass Coastal currently dispatches, maintains and operates freight service over this territory.
My Dad (the conductor) is in the fireman's doorway of GP-15-1 #1664! March 17, 1987.
This pic is a "recycled" shot which I posted a couple of years ago when I didn't have many followers.
Check out this link to my son Mikey's post for a current view of Mass Coastal at the same location. flic.kr/p/2ocJf1M

Tokyo Station is a railway station in the Marunouchi business district of Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan, near the Imperial Palace grounds and the Ginza commercial district. Photographed by K. Steven West on February 18, 2014, while travelling on the Max Toki 307 train from Tokyo to Nagaoka, Japan.
What is it we see in our photographs?
Somethings are direct and easy...beachs, buildings, piers, dogs, people...in these we decide on not what we see but how we process those photo's to what we want to project to the public. Color, Black and White, White Balance, Emphasis on a particular object or the color of grass or sky. These all play into our post processing.
But with smoke it is subjective to our minds eye. My post processing is a figment of what I see by what I think the smoke created.
Here I see a Conductor coming out of a phonograph. With a spade for a heart. (not sure how that plays into anything) Once again the most I had to do with this is remove some smoke plume from the top to see the photo, Curves and Hue/Sat for color and contrast.
What is it you see? Do you see what I see?
Post Processing:
>Black brush to remove plume and and residual smoke from outer areas
>Adjustment layer Curves-Contrast and color
>Adjustment layer Hue/Sat-enhance color and saturation
>Crop and turn for better overall composition
>Framed and sized for posting

Today, the Federal Railroad Administration released their proposed crew rule. In it, the FRA proposes to regulate the size of crews that must be on most freight trains, requiring that an engineer and a conductor are on the train. It also includes limited exceptions for, and a process to approve, single person operations. This rule is the result of a lot of things, but has been ironically pushed over the finish line by the "precision scheduled railroading" philosophy of "he who shall not be named." PSR has forced Class 1 railroads in a race to the bottom as they instituted leadership teams solely focused on cutting costs, on a blind and dangerous path to where we are now. But they are learning the hard way, as are many American businesses, that it is PEOPLE who make your operation run. And as they struggle to fix the self-inflicted damage, an industry which has gone largely unregulated since the Staggers Act, is facing more (and might I say necessary) scrutiny on their operations. I chose this photo, because it emphasizes the importance of the two-person crew in hard situations, such as a car taking out a crossing gate at a busy intersection in Ashland Virginia: it required signal maintainers, dispatchers, engineers, and conductors to safely coordinate the movement of Q410 (it was Q back when this was taken) through downtown Ashland. It is quite ironic that the philosophy of a man who tried to take the people out of railroading ended up being what drove the government to regulate and require them. It shows what happens when you take a philosophy too far, and become path dependent. The E. Hunter Harrison rule- a legacy to always remember.

En Japón, en las entradas de algunos templos podemos encontrar rickshaws. Personalmente, los relacionaba más con India, China, pero no en este país. Curiosamente, el origen de la palabra es japonés "jinrikisha" qué significa Jin: persona; Riki: fuerza y Sha:carruaje

On February 23rd, 2023 morning, most of the IT systems of Hungarian State Railways stopped working.
This caused problems for passenger information and train tracking systems, and also for almost all MÁV employees. Train drivers and conductors had to fill out (even more) A4 papers throughout the day instead of logging their work in the online systems.
After getting home from university this day, I headed out to the nearby farm to capture passenger train #2923 with this nicely blossoming tree. It was a thrilling experience waiting around without knowing when the train would arrive, but to my luck, it managed to show up before the sun disappeared behind the tree lines.

Herbst. Wieder Zeit durch die Wälder zu streifen. Die Leichte Panik vor Zecken (die ich dann meinem Hund in mühvoller Kleinarbeit vom Körper pulen darf) trübt das Ganze ein wenig. Nichts desto trotz muss man einfach in den Wald. Die Ruhe (und das Licht) haben schon ihre Wirkung. :)
