Pan Am Railways RUPO, led by MEC 315, notches up to get to track speed near an old freight shed in Greene, ME.
This young female couldn't get enough mineral salts from the surface dust, and so knelt down and used her tusk to dig into the soil and loosen it..
The Gravestone of Catherine Emmet appears to have been found either accidentally or as the result of a planned search? This image shows a man standing over a broken gravestone near a wall and some railings. He is not dressed as a common or garden gravedigger but rather as one of the privileged classes or an academic. Was this the search for Robert Emmet's grave and what can we find out about it and Catherine?
Photographers: J. Fuleer(?) Fuller is photographed so unlikely he is the photographer

New kid on the block, British India Line, digs in to the climb to Aisgill at Waitby, with the second southbound Dalesman charter train of the season, May 8th 2018. The 3 cylinder exhaust beat sounded very crisp, great to hear after all the teething problems!

Just like clockwork on a Monday morning, D&I Railroad's loaded rock train is headed south to their Sioux City yard on former Milwaukee Road trackage between Beloit, IA and Fairview, SD. Digging in on a short stretch of one point five percent grade, (the steepest incline on the line between Sioux Falls, SD and Sioux City, IA), the three clean SD40-2's make it over the hill with minimal effort on a fine fall day. October 17, 2022.
Formerly part of the Milwaukee's Iowa Minnesota & Dakota Division, the D&I operates from Dell Rapids, SD on their north end, (via Sioux Falls, Canton and Elk Point, SD) to Sioux City, IA on the south end. D&I also operates a thirteen mile branch of former Chicago & North Western track between Hawarden, IA and Beresford, SD, (originally C&NW's Wren Tower, IA, north of Sioux City to Iroquois Jct., east of Huron, SD line which is now mostly abandoned).
Todays train is led by DAIR SD40-2 3028, (formerly HLCX 8174, built as BN 8174 in July, 1980) and DAIR SD40-2 3027, (formerly HLCX 8140, built as BN 8140 also in July, 1980) and DAIR SD40-2 3030, formerly Union Pacific 3952, built as Missouri Pacific 6052 in June, 1979). Eighteen miles ahead at Hawarden IA, the 3030 will be moved to the rear of the train to aid in switching out the cars upon arrival at Sioux City's stub ended yard.
Today is my birthday and to say I'm unwell is a bit of an understatement. I have 2 of the children home ill as well as an ill husband. So thought I would have a little look through my archives and this is what I found. I hope you all like it x

A Rufous Hummingbird digs deep in search of nectar, it was an amazing scene of activity as the morning broke and they began to feed
mileage 23
because my tire and odometer are being changed, I will be back to '0' on the next ride so remember this number, 87. I'll call this the pre-season and tack that mileage on at the end of the season.
But until it warms up again, I'll be picking up sticks.
"Down on the left a busy little digging mechanism had come into view, emitting jets of green vapour and working its way round the pit, excavating and embanking in a methodical and discriminating manner. This it was which had caused the regular beating noise, and the rhythmic shocks that had kept our ruinous refuge quivering. It piped and whistled as it worked. So far as I could see, the thing was without a directing Martian at all..."

I like to watch the gulls hunting for crabs.
The do this funny shuffling like dance until the feel the crab in the sand and then dig it out with their beak.
This guy found himself a nice little blue crab.
never sure which gulls are which! ID somebody??
Please help identify this lovely bird. It's not that small, about the size of a pigeon....
With a bit of "digging" on my part, it could be a female Northern flicker.
Upon arriving at this oasis, one only needs to dig a little in the sand to find water cleaner than the stagnant pools.

En arrivant à cette oasis,il suffit de creuser un peu le sable pour trouver une eau plus propre que celle qui stagne.
