Breaking from the procession of cold pedestrians, one lone person heads into the warmth of the Marche Bonsecours in Old Montreal.

Tunnel View provides one of the most famous views of Yosemite Valley. From here you can see El Capitan and Bridalveil Fall rising from Yosemite Valley, with Half Dome in the background. This viewpoint is at the east end of the Wawona Tunnel along the Wawona Road (Highway 41).
Oh, that child has skills. We were on a road trip. A three hour one. Every animal we passed was on her sisters side of the truck. Therefore, life, in her opinion, was completely unfair. So as we drove she whined and complained about the inequity of the animal viewing. This went on for hours. I’m not even sure I could keep up with that pace of grumbling and she got those skills from me. (Sorry mom...really am!)
So when we had the chance and found a friendly horse we turned the truck around. This was it. It was her moment. As that horse strolled closer she got more nervous. I rolled down the window. (Yeah...I know...I'm old and we don’t roll a window down anymore but in my head we still do.) She grabbed her camera and went for it. I grabbed mine.
All the complaining was worth it for this image. I love seeing her do her thing. The remainder of the drive went better. No grumbles. We instead got the excitement of looking at her pictures. Detour...worth it. And sometimes the simplest of things are the highlights of a vacation.
Trudging forward, the whispers carry me along the fog covered marsh. The fog sweeps over the water like opalescent dreams sweeping over my sleep. The grasses soon catch fire to the morning light while bringing much needed warmth to my waking soul. I can feel my fingers and even my legs seem a bit lighter. Just before me, a lumbering tree along the bank blocks my path. An eerie moan suggests that perhaps it's time to cut a new trail. Sometimes the way forward requires a detour.
Continuing the marsh stories as the weekend draws near. Wishing everyone a great day ahead!

There's lots to like about the old Central Vermont main across the Green Mountain State, with lots of scenic trestles and old stations lining the right of way. The line's normal freight trains (NECR 323 and 324) typically traverse the railroad in darkness, but this summer's Vermont Railway detour trains provided a welcome opportunity to shoot freight on the line in better light. Although the trains have used leased GMTX GP38s instead of VTR red, they still look great against the scenery of Vermont. On our last of three days chasing the detours, we shot northbound RDBD soaring over the Winooski River between Waterbury and Richmond.

Took a detour walking home today. Only camera was my smartphone, still like the result.

A result of the replacement of the first of three spans on the Merchant's Bridge, Terminal's Bremen Job, symboled T302, returns back to Madison via the MacArthur Bridge early on a Tuesday morning. After shoving down the High Line and past Gratiot, just across the river in Missouri, the crew now descends the North Approach of the bridge after climbing up directly following the West Belt Job with a relief T301 crew onboard. The Bremen Job switches a variety of industries near Bremen Avenue, just North of the city and South of the Merchants Bridge. This detour around the city just about quadruples their travel from Madison to the Bremen Ave. area and back.
A detoured Canadian Pacific empty coal train heads east at Paola, Montana, on BNSF Railway's Hi Line Subdivision. Two weeks ago, flooding devastated parts of British Columbia and although the CP and CN main lines have reopened, the railroads are still working to get operations back to normal, resulting in this rare detour. The train will head north at Shelby and get back on home rails at Coutts, Alberta. November 29, 2021.
TRRA's SD60Is lead a detouring Terminal 101 under the Gateway Arch in Saint Louis, MO. Due to the Merchants bridge being out, TRRA and other railroads were detouring via the highline and the MacArthur bridge.
Took a scenic detour on the drive from Sioux Falls to Fargo. This scene in Northeast South Dakota was a welcome deviation from the interstate.
The last of a brief spurt of detoured Amtrak trains around the blocked First Street tunnel heads under the CP-CAPITOL signal bridge on the normally freight-only Alexandria Extension. After missing yesterday evening's detours due to some conflicts, I set my eyes on this morning's Silver Meteor in hopes that they'd be delayed enough to run up the Extension in daylight. Thankfully, they got delayed just enough waiting for a CSX pilot that the light was workable by the time they got underway on the freight only portion east of CP-VIRGINIA. With a limited window of time before meetings and nothing but a rented Bikeshare to work with for transportation, I scrambled over to the New Jersey Avenue overpass where I didn't have very long to wait before they pulled.
Full disclosure on editing: this is a composite of two different images, as the ideal shot in terms of shadows was angled just a bit too low and cut off the Washington Monument. The 4x3 aspect ratio the composite produces is much better than a default 3x2 shot, which makes it impossible to fit the top of the monument in frame. I filled in the upper sky with an earlier shot in the sequence, and tried to patch up the sky and other associated upper fringes as best as I could. Normally I'm not one for extreme post processing, but I'll likely never have a chance to shoot a move like this again so I wanted it to be perfect. This was only about an hour's work, so I may come back to Photoshop to perfect it later.
Since the Hoosac tunnel detour trains earlier this year, daylight Pan Am trains on the NECR are a rare. After hearing the district 3 dispatcher tell a track Forman that a southbound train would be coming out of Bellows Falls later in the day, I got off work and headed to Bellows. Getting there just in time to see BFED poke it’s head end out of the tunnel where everyone’s favorite local fire chief Shaun McGinnis. I followed the train south and despite the clouds got sun in every spot such as here as painted B40 #5968 leading a blob B40 and it’s loaded slurry train into town.

Got word the "Zephyr's" are detouring via the UP this weekend account bridge work out on BNSF at Burlington. Witness #5 from today, departing out the northside at Racine Avenue with a winged 70M up front. This train will get to the east interlocking limits at Tower A2 (at Leavitt St.) on the Milwaukee side and sit, account cab-signal problems on this UP unit...How long they sat, I cannot say because I didn't wait that long, but it was going on 20mins and someone allegedly from UP's shops was on their way over to try and get it to work...and that, my friends, is what progress is all about!! Big thanks to the Jeep Liberty for the elevation at this normally low spot...
Floral City is set up as a great stopping and rest spot along the Withlacoochee State Trail. This is the Hampton's Edge Bike Shop right on the corner of town. Across the street is a nice gazebo set up for bikers to take a water and snack break before continuing on. It is 17 miles from the Ridge Manor trail head.

Happy Wall Wednesday!
For a few summers, while the Alton route was being upgraded, the Texas Eagle detoured via Villa Grove. At Tuscola one summer evening, train 21 moves west on the former C&EI mainline
