The Highland (Scottish Gaelic: Bò Ghàidhealach; Scots: Hielan coo) is a Scottish breed of rustic beef cattle. It originated in the Scottish Highlands and the Western Islands of Scotland and has long horns and a long shaggy coat. It is a hardy breed, able to withstand the intemperate conditions in the region. The first herd-book dates from 1885; two types – a smaller island type, usually black, and a larger mainland type, usually dun – were registered as a single breed. It is reared primarily for beef, and has been exported to several other countries.
Rio Grande SD40T-2 No. 5407 pulls an export coal train through Ironton, Utah the evening of June 18, 1986. The 84-car train will be delivered to the Union Pacific interchange in Provo.
During 2015 I was able to visit GE's Erie facility twice for tours and while photography was very limited I was able to take photos of the deadlines, and the yard were allowed. Here two export D9-40BBW's for CLN sit next to the GECX deadline waiting to be shoved out to the NS interchange. The ex-BN 5498 has long since been scrapped.
I'm on a mission, perhaps not attainable, to shoot all of the SD70s before they are rebuilt into those wide cab abominations. I'm not sure I'll get it done but we'll see.
Here's one of those spartan cab 70s, of the ex-Conrail variety, pulling mixer 10G into Enola Yard with a cut of Camrail exports fresh out of the GE plant in Erie.
Both of these, the standard cab and the Erie exports are on borrowed time. A two for one!
Under a crazy sky, exports bound for Egypt make their way east under the old N&W coaling tower in Vicker, VA behind an ES44AC.

While walking the Wall Street portion of the Navajo Loop with a view looking to the north. The very tall walls around were what I wanted to capture with this image and used a portrait orientation to help bring out the sheer size around me. I felt that including some steps to my front would add a sense of perspective to the height of the walls. The next thing on my mind was what I perceived as a large dynamic range between the brighter areas at the top of the wall and image with the more shadowed areas below. I metered for the brighter areas because of that. I chose to work with Aurora HDR Pro to better bring that complete setting in the image. I later exported a TIFF image to DxO PhotoLab 5 where I did some final adjustments with contrast, saturation and brightness for the final image. It was as I began working on the image in post production that I then decided to once again try out the sky replacement setting in Photoshop with this image. I wasn’t quite happy with the look of the skies (some blotches and not a true blue color), so I replaced that with a stock images in Photoshop but all else is captured with my Nikon D850 SLR camera.
I think we can guess what's about to happen, I shall refrain from posting the next three/four frames!
Another batch of General Electric ES58ACi locomotives for VALE Mining in Brazil head down the Norfolk Southern Lurgan Branch. Train 098 is heading for Norfolk, VA where the locomotives will continue on to South America by ship.

Following on from the last two uploads, there seems to be a common theme occurring, it’s not worth going out the house these days there’s nothing left!
86608 & 86632 cruse past Mill Meece with 4M87 on Friday 5th June 2020, I’d wanted this shot for a number of years and had set my stall out to give it ago regardless of the poor forecast knowing time was running out for the AL6’s. Sometimes, not very often admittedly everything just drops into place, the sun wouldn’t have been on the front had it turned up on time but with issues at Northampton the train ended up running 30 late…
This is a still exported from my board mounted GoPro fisheye. I like getting the video footage, but its fun to have some moments frozen in time.
Surfing in the desert up north on a recent trip. I'm out of the water for at least 6 weeks from a skateboard fall, so these shots will have to tie me over til then.

The house was built 1891, to a rich trader Ubaydulla Xoʻjayev from Buxoro who exported coats of Karakul sheep resident in Uzbekistan to Russia. Here lived till 1925 also his son Fayzulla Xoʻjayev who had prepared together the opposition against emir Alim Khan with the Bolshevik and became after his escape of 1920 chairpersons of the council of ministers of the new-founded People's Republic Bukhara.
The Xoʻjayev house exists of different wings grouped around an inner courtyard in which residential rooms, sleeping rooms and stock rooms were. The house a porch has to the inner courtyard in the form of Iwan with a wooden roof supported by slender columns.
Under the living rooms are particularly lifted out a winter room with a big stove and a spring room whose windows are especially high. In the main tract lies the white hall which is decorated richly with coloured mural paintings. He served for the receipt of guests and for the celebration of parties.
A loaded taconite train is tied on the Keenan Sub. and will eventually head south on the CN system for Louisiana and forwarding on as export cargo. The rear unit is seen here across a snow-covered field northwest of Northgate near the Keenan Yard
Turning the clock back half a century and more when diminutive saddle tanks busied themselves around the dockside at Workington, on 31st March 2001, 1885-built Robert Heath 0-4-0 saddle tank 'No.6' moves a consignment of rail brought by the private railway from Corus' works to the dockside, to be loaded and shipped to Waterford in the Republic of Ireland. The locomotive and crew were on loan for a photographic charter, the rail transfer between steelworks and port normally undertaken by a diesel loco.

A Borgward B1500 Pick Up in Bremen.
Special "Pick Up" export version of the B1500 only for the USA.
The B1500 was also sold in germany, but it had a different bed.
A heavy loaded export ore train (CN U724) dips at the Amnicon River at Rockmont on the CN Superior Subdivision mainline. The train is starting to grind up the grade that crests at Hines. Good thing CN double-tracked the mainline here - it certainly makes a big difference with getting trains out of the Lake Superior Basin. For reference, the original mainline is on the left while the newer is to the right with a slight jog.
On 29 March 1991, 56104 brought a train of coal from Blindwells Opencast Site to Leith Docks for export. It is seen over the coal drops within the docks.
I just drove into the docks, took my shots and drove out again. How things have changed in 25 years.
