I missed a few while walking around so it would be 18 minutes before I shot train 24 of 54 I would ultimately photograph in the span of only 4 hr 45 min here at Dobbs Ferry. Admittedly they all start to look pretty similar which is the only counterpoint to the awesome volume of trains to be found here. Metro North train 753, is a PM peak 4:52 PM departure from Grand Central headed north on a 1 hr 15 min scheduled all stops run to Croton-Harmon.
The train consists of a six car set (three married pairs) of Bombardier built M7As of which MNCW rosters 336, the oldest of which entered service in 2004. MTA sister Long Island Railroad rosters an additional 828 similar M7 series cars, as well, all of which operate via 750V DC third rail power. In addition to this equipment, 40 yr old Budd built M3As continue to ply this line adding to the variety.
This is MP 20.5 as measured from Grand Central Terminal on modern day Metro North's Hudson Line, the four track former New York Central water level route which traces its history here back to 1849. In 1913 the NYC installed third rail electrification through here as far as Harmon, 33 miles north, a system that remains to this day.
Today this route is astonishingly busy with over 150 MNCW trains passing this point on weekdays with electric MUs operating as far as Croton-Harmon and diesel powered trains to Poughkeepsie, 73 miles north. In addition another 22 Amtrak trains pass to and from points as far flung as Burlington, VT, Montreal and Toronto in Canada, and Chicago. Lastly rounding out the parade is a nightly CSXT road freight between Selkirk Yard near Albany and Oak Point Yard in the Bronx.
A dozen miles down river can be seen the George Washington Bridge and less than twenty miles away are the high rises of Midtown Manhattan.

A Civil War era portait of a man wearing riding boots and holding a broad brimmed hat, taken by Fischer & Bro. of Baltimore, Maryland. He is, unfortunately, unidentified, but his boots have some distinctive markings, the most visible of which are two five pointed stars (at left) - I'm not sure what, if anything, it is that these may signify.

One of UP's original widecabs rolls south on the Galveston Sub in southeast Houston. It just delivered a rock train to the Martin Marietta plant at Genoa, and is now headed south on a rescue mission to shove the dead LHB31 off the main track ahead.

They guy in the background has an adventurous spirit, is into photography and owns a Pizza joint in Memphis. I can't remember the name of the place.
Very dashing and dandy.
Although these beautiful and graceful antelopes were not known to European scientists until 1898, they have been represented in ancient Egyptian art since 5600 B.C.
STATUS: Gerenuks are common, but declining in number because they are hunted for their skins.
HABITAT: Gerenuks live in East Africa in the dry, brushy areas of Somalia, eastern Ethiopia and Kenya.
DIET: Gerenuks browse in small herds and are picky eaters. With their long necks and nimble lips, gerenuks reach into middle branches and pull off the tender leaves, flowers, and a few kinds of fruit unavailable to the taller giraffe or the shorter dik-dik. They may even stand on their hind legs to get a better nibble. A gerenuk will not eat grass or herbs.
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS: Standing about 28 to 37 inches at the shoulders and weighing 62 to 115 pounds, gerenuks are a medium-sized gazelle with long, slender legs and neck. On their small, wedge-shaped heads are two very large ears and big brown eyes placed well to the side. Only the males will have 14 to 17 inch long horns that hook forward at the tips.
Pacific National’s Melbourne to Perth freight (7MP5) took an unusual detour through Albury due to the Western line being closed at Ararat for maintenance works.
