I got these figures the other day and I really like them. They come with all the equipment in the shot and they are very articulated. The only draw back is their size ( 4 1/2 in) and then only because most of my other figures are 6in. I think 🤔 I rather like the 4in size. Sadly it’s hard to find action figures in this size 😢

A few photos of my friend Duarte after the wall design!

CSXT's ex Pan Am BO-1 local has a little seven car train seen hustling up the Keolis/MBTA (ex Boston and Maine) Eastern Route mainline at MP 9.5 crossing Saugus Draw enroute to Salem and the Danvers Branch headed to Peabody. The 487 ft long double track bridge dates from 1911 and has a 65 ft movable span. According to the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) it is a single-leaf Strauss overhead counterweight bascule which is believed to be the oldest known example of its type in Massachusetts. It is particularly significant for its innovative engineering design and association with a prominent bridge engineer, Joseph Baermann Strauss, whose company designed the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
Alas like so much other legacy Boston and Maine infrastructure, this bridge has reached the end of its useful life and a replacement is in the works as described here: archives.lib.state.ma.us/bitstream/handle/2452/799579/ocn...
Leading the freight is CSXT's ex Pan Am Railways GMDD GP40-2W MEC 507 (blt. Jul 1974 as CN 9472) which was given this mysterious retro fresh Guilford gray paint job at Waterville in August 2020 and has been frequently assigned to BO-1 since then. If you haven't seen what she looked like sparking fresh check out this shot:
This view looks west from the crumbling sidewalk of the Route 1A General Edwards Bridge at the industrial waterfront of the Saugus River. At left is the controversial Wheelabrator Saugus trash incinerator that processes some 1500 tons of municipal waste every day generating up to 37MW of electricity. At right on the Lynn shore is the massive River Works plant of GE Aerospace that employs nearly 2500 and per their web site: has a history that dates back more than 125 years and is recognized as one of the founding sites of the General Electric Company. The site is home to the first U.S. jet engine (1942) and other prominent aviation industry milestones. The Lynn plant is recognized as a U.S. Department of Defense facility that designs, produces, assembles, and tests military and commercial aircraft engines and components.
In the foreground is a grafitti covered pipeline leading to a derelict pumping station on pilings. Alas I've not been able to find any info on when it was built and what it served so if anyone here knows it's history or purpose I'd love to know more.
And while everything looks normal at the moment, change is on the horizon as it was recently announced the Rousselot in Peabody is closing which means the end of the last freight customer remaining north of Boston on the Eastern Route. That may mean the end of BO-1 (or L055 as CSXT now symbols it) which has long been based in Somerville, as it's possible CSXT may choose to serve their Chelsea and Everett customers via Framingham. Regardless of what happens there your chances to photograph freight trains on this bridge or anywhere else on the line will be over by June....so shoot it now, you might not get a second chance.

Well I can't draw and I don't consider myself very creative, but sometimes I find myself playing around with applications and I do something creative. This is the result. When you look at it closely, it is a little bit like Haida art. I hope you like it.
Je n'ai aucun talent pour le dessin ou la peinture et je ne me considère pas très créative, mais parfois je m'amuse avec les applications et je crée quelque chose de créatif, comme ceci. Quand on la regarde de plus près, on dirait que ça ressemble à de l'art Haida. J'espère que cela vous plaît.
OI-16 has an impressive and colorful four-unit consist, all of which are former Conrail units now assigned to the Conrail Shared Assets Operation. The train is crossing NJ Transit's River Draw which crosses the Raritan River between Perth Amboy and South Amboy. NS 1700, the Erie Lackawanna heritage unit, had been leading the train earlier in the week but was trailing on this day. The trailing two GP38-2s are enroute to local assignment out of Browns Yard.
The view looking down toward the area of the Big Draw from Chasm View along the South Rim Drive at the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. That's the Gunnison River at the bottom of the Canyon. The geology of the Black Canyon will have to suffice for a while as my plans for a trip to South Dakota tomorrow have changed. So I won't be able to see Badlands National Park, Devil's Tower, Mount Rushmore quite yet. But stay tuned, I do have some day trips that I'm putting together for the next 5 days.

The only reason we got this train is because something popped up with class, and it therefore did not go on. I thought it'd be a nice time to sleep in, until someone found the pair of ST70AHs taking off from Bensenville with CP 687. To Northbrook we went.
We got screwed by the clouds too, which was also wonderful. But at least I caught this pair.
