The date is June 1991 as crews from two trains exchange greetings while the sound of dynamic braking can be heard as the 4612 south decends the heavy 2.8% grade meeting the Budd Car at Moran. The patrol for #1 can be seen sitting at the top end of the siding just ahead of the Budd Car as the southbound's train of green BCOL boxcars pass by.
BCR's initial order of GE Dash 8-40CM's have just recently replaced the MLW's as mainline power.
This is the way it was. Now, the RDC's and the little yellow speeder are gone, most of those green boxcars have been cut up, and the 4612 is in storage facing an uncertain future with CN.
A jetty at the shore of the Schlei inlet near the village of Sieseby, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
Some background information:
The Schlei is a narrow inlet of the Baltic Sea in the state of Schleswig-Holstein in northern Germany. It stretches for approximately 42 kilometres (26.1 miles) from the Baltic Sea near Kappeln and Arnis to the town of Schleswig. Along the Schlei are many small bays and swamps. It separates the Angeln peninsula to the north from the Schwansen peninsula to the south. The important Viking settlement of Hedeby (resp. Haithabu) was located at the head of the firth, but was later abandoned in favor of the town of Schleswig. A museum has been built on the site, telling the story of the abandoned town. In 2018, Hedeby and the nearby defensive earthworks of the Danevirke were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The Schlei's name was once presumably Angel, later giving its name to the region Angeln. This name derives from the Norse word angr (in English: "narrow"). Angel therefore meant "narrow fjord", which fits the long and narrow Schlei well. The current name is thought to have been used only for the inner Schlei. It is beleived to be connected with the Danish word slæ (in English: "reeds" resp. "water plants").
The Schlei stretches 42 km from Schleimünde through Kappeln and Arnis to the town of Schleswig, passing through the rolling hills of Schleswig-Holstein and separating the regions of Angeln and Schwansen. It has an average width of 1.3 km (0.81 miles) and an average depth of 3 m (10 feet), resulting in a water surface area of 54.6 km² and a volume of 163.8 million m³.
The Burgsee (with Gottorf Castle on castle island) was once the innermost part of the Schlei but was cut off in 1582 by Adolf I, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf , with the construction of the Gottorf Dam, which is now about 28 metres wide and nearly 100 metres long. The main tributary of the Schlei is the Füsinger Au, which flows into the Schlei at Winningmay. Smaller tributaries include the Grimsau, as well as two streams named Mühlenbach, one near Schleswig and one near Kappeln.
In the Middle Ages, the Schlei held great importance as a trade route within the Baltic Sea region. The overland distance from Schleswig to the Treene, a tributary of the Eider river, was only 16 kilometers (10 miles). This made it an ideal location for the exchange of goods between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. As early as 1075, the chronicler Adam of Bremen referred to Hedeby, the Viking settlement near Schleswig that was destroyed in 1066, as a maritime harbor. From this port, ships reportedly traveled as far as Sweden and Greece. After Hedeby's destruction, the nearby town of Schleswig took over this role, although it never matched Hedeby's prominence.
By the late 14th century, ships like the Hanseatic cog had grown larger, and the Schlei had become too shallow, while Schleswig was too far from the open Baltic Sea. As a result, the Schlei gradually lost its significance as a trade route. Schleswig ultimately ceded its status as a trading hub to Lübeck and Flensburg but remained the seat of a bishopric. However, even today, the Schlei between Schleimünde and Kappeln is occasionally used as a transport route for commercial shipping.
With its just 100 residents, Sieseby is a village that belongs to the municipality of Thumby in the district of Rendsburg-Eckernförde. Sieseby lies directly on the Schlei and features a ferry terminal with a few berths and a slipway for launching small boats. During the summer months, the public Schlei ferry service stops at Sieseby. The village is accessible via the K77 district road, which branches off from the B203 highway. Sieseby is particularly renowned for its many restored thatched-roof houses. Since 2000, the village has been protected as Schleswig-Holstein's first designated cultural monument of an entire area.
The hamlet of Sieseby was first mentioned in a document in 1267. But as its church already dates back to the late 12th century, the village is even older. Since the early 16th century, Sieseby belonged to the nearby aristocratic estate Bienebek Manor. For more than three centuries, the village was more or less a housing complex for the estate staff. But in the early 19th century, both Bienebek Manor and Sieseby were acquired by Gustav Anton Schäffer, a wealthy merchant from the city of Hamburg. As from 1839, he had the old houses renovated and new houses built for the estate workers, many of which still bear his initials "G.A.S.".
In 1887, the ducal family of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg acquired Sieseby along with Bienebek Manor for 615,000 Reichstaler, which corresponds with a sum of roughly 11 million Euro. Today, most of the properties in Sieseby remain part of the Glücksburg Ducal Estate Trust, which means that their occupiers are still just the tenants of their beautiful historic residences. But as far as I know, they have to pay just a nominal rent.

The Leeds Corn Exchange is a Victorian building in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, which was designed by Cuthbert Brodrick and completed in 1864.
Designed by Cuthbert Brodrick, a Hull architect best known for Leeds Town Hall, this Grade I listed structure was completed in 1862 and opened on 28 July 1863. The dome design was based on that of the Bourse de commerce of Paris by François-Joseph Bélanger and François Brunet, completed in 1811. Leeds Corn Exchange is now just one of three corn exchanges in the country which operates in its traditional capacity as a centre for trade, albeit no longer for trading in corn.
After closing, its condition deteriorated. Early proposals for regeneration included turning it into a concert hall similar to the Royal Albert Hall.

If you have been following along with my posts on my photography blog, it's pretty clear that I have been pining away for a good snow here in New York City. Earlier this week I posted some photos of Central Park's most beautiful winter views and a compilation of photos of a snowy night in Manhattan. Well, I am happy to say that today definitely delivered in terms of snowy goodness.
After a hearty breakfast, I headed out to explore a part of Manhattan I rarely get to enjoy in the snow: the Financial District. I have photographed the Financial District quite a bit but never during a winter storm. It's actually one of my favorite parts of lower Manhattan. Between its historic streets and its gotham-like feel, it's hard to not get swept up in the cinematic elements of the neighborhood.

Most of the time when I’m in this area I take photos which are of this particular building, and indeed the spot where I am standing. This time, however, it was nice to get a shot from the entrance of this, the Royal Exchange, looking out through the columns.
There was a lot of lens flare coming out from the lights at the top of the image, but luckily this was only where the actual sky was. It was easy enough to paint over in Photoshop to ensure the flares disappeared. Then I opted to turn it into a black and white image anyway, so the lovely hue I painted in was irrelevant in the end.

The American Stock Exchange Building, formerly known as the New York Curb Exchange Building, is the former headquarters of the American Stock Exchange. It is located on Trinity Place in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City. Built in 1921 and enlarged in 1929–1931, the building represents a link to the historical practices of stock trading outside the strictures of the New York Stock Exchange, which took place outside ("on the curb") prior to the construction of this building. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978. The building presently stands vacant, the stock exchange having moved out after merging with the NYSE in 2008.
The American Stock Exchange Building stands in Lower Manhattan's Wall Street area, occupying a parcel that extends from Trinity Place to Greenwich Street, just south of Thames Street. It is a fourteen-story steel-framed structure, with its formal facade, finished in limestone, facing Trinity Place. Both the original 1921 structure and its later enlargement were designed by the New York firm Starrett and Van Vleck. The facade facing Greenwich Street is of gray brick, with five large round-arch windows overlooking the trading floor. The trading floor was trimmed in a Renaissance Revival style, but the main structure is distinctly Art Deco, a product of the 1929-31 addition.
New York's stock trading activity historically took place in outdoor spaces until 1792, when a predecessor to the New York Stock Exchange was founded, and some trading moved indoors. Trading continued to take place "on the curb" outside the NYSE. The outside traders benefited from the NYSE's refusal to allow trade in some types of securities, and became a leading marketplace for non-listed securities. This market had no fixed location, moving around as traffic and other conditions dictated.
In 1908, the New York Curb Market Agency was established, to codify trading practices. In 1911, the curbstone brokers came to be known as the New York Curb Market, with a formal constitution and brokerage and listing standards. After several years of outdoor trading, the curbstone brokers moved indoors in 1921 to a building on Greenwich Street in Lower Manhattan. In 1929, the New York Curb Market changed its name to the New York Curb Exchange. The Curb Exchange soon became the leading international stock market, listing more foreign issues than all other U.S. securities markets combined. In 1953, the Curb Exchange was renamed the American Stock Exchange. The building currently has a building area of 181,725 sq. ft.
On December 1, 2008, the Curb Exchange building at 86 Trinity Place was closed, and both the Amex Equities and Amex Options trading floors were moved to the NYSE Trading floor at 11 Wall Street.

37037 exchanges tokens with the signalman at Arrochar & Tarbet on 2nd August 1982.
The train was the 1634 Glasgow Queen Street to Mallaig which was taken to Rannoch for 37014 back to Glasgow.
I saw a few of these token exchanges on the WHL and they were carried out at some speed! The rules of course now instruct drivers to stop and obtain the token. Tokens became a thing of the past in March 1988 when the new signalling centre at Banavie took control with radio signalling.
The loco was renumbered to 37321 in 1986 and then again back to its original number 37037 in 1989.
It spent a year in France from 1999-2000 and was stored at Wigan upon its return before being purchased for preservation in 2004.
