“In all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable is each other.”
― Carl Sagan
CN U73082-09 approaches Iron Junction with an empty train returning to Thunderbird for another load of crude iron ore. This is one of the two "T-Bird" trains that shuttles crude ore from Thunderbird to Fairlane around the clock. Luckily for us, this one had a classic old IC SD40-2 for power. The train uses loops to both load and unload, so the same engine leads in both directions.
A Baltimore & Ohio GP40-2 and a Chesapeake & Ohio B30-7 bring a train of empties through Danville, West Virginia. The S4 on the left belongs to the Southern Appalachian Coal Company (Julian Mines). It’s interesting that it is an as-built Alco, and not a Caterpillar re-engined “bug slug” more typical of mine power in the area.
Fascinating and terrible desert with its subtle nuances of color and soft and hard structures and formations. Here man may very little to intervene in the work of nature..
Surely Autumn/Winter garden fences without their plants must suffer from "empty nest syndrome" the same way that parents do when their children grow up and leave?
Late for Fence Friday again, so a Happy Belated Fence Friday to you all. :)
If you get up early enough you can have the place to yourself.

Here is a photo I took back in January of 2020. An empty parking lot, on a cold, wet winter's night. Photo was made with a Canon 80D, with a EF-S 18-135mm lens. Photo was changed to b+w during post-processing.
CPKC's empty northbound ballast train 3GPS starts down the depression under the Government Bridge in downtown Davenport, IA. The pumps are working overtime to keep the depression clear of water.
The railroad would lose the battle in a few hours as the mainline was shut down near Mound St with floodgates closed to protect the water plant.
