.....as I waited in vain for a steam locomotive that I found out later had been cancelled.

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.
NSM 650 leads an empty tailings train past probably the most shot location on the Iron Range towards Silver Bay for another load before returning to the tailings pond later in the morning. The overlook looking towards "Railfan Rock" may be a common shot, but I understood why when I visited for the first time. It really is fantastic.
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. :)
