The surprise to an otherwise lackluster day was an extra symbolled as Y251 called to recrew the tied down 6454 on the northern branch in Englewood. Seeing a train on the branch is pretty difficult as they run a few times a week at odd hours. Here they are in Englewood switching at Supreme Oil.
A very rare westbound manifest passes through Nephi, UT. The train was running under the symbol of MSCWCX-22
The Downeaster's Saturday evening Portland Extra was "cancelled" due to a lack of equipment (in particular, Amfleets) needed to build a consist capable of traveling at track speed on the Main. The assigned crew instead attached their engine (P42 no. 93) to the back of Train 698 and piggybacked their way to North Station. They then embarked on a crosstown move, picked up a new Amfleet coach from South Station, and zipped their way back to Portland.
In perfect light, we see 698 barreling towards Winnocks Neck Road on the Scarborough Marsh. Phase VI P42 no. 108 can be seen nose to nose with the 93 at the back of the consist.
With about 40 cars in tow, D907 heads east out of Grand Rapids behind a pair of CSX GEs. The extra crew was called to bring the train back to Lansing after the original crew outlawed in GR.

This is how I keep and sort all of the extra LEGO heads I have not currently being used for another purpose. I put all similar heads together and have a stick in the middle of the wheel so I can spin it around and look at all of the heads on the other side. It's a pretty nice thing for quickly locating a head I want.

I shot in DX mode which crops away the extra pixels and takes me 1.5X closer while allowing for up to 7 FPS with the Nikon D810's Nikon MB-D12 Battery Grip using the 8 AA battery option! 8 Duracells took me through around 3,000 shots no problem--maybe more! I was shooting at the equivalent of 900mm with the 1.5x crop factor! Pretty close! Had I gone with the Nikon D4s, I would have gotten 12 fps, but no DX crop factor, as the sensor has only around 24mp, compared to the d810's 36 megapixels! Sure the larger pixel size on the Nikon D4s full frame sensor comes in handy indoors or at night, but in the bright sun, there's more than enough light for the smaller pixels in crop mode! Sure we lose some pixels from the outer edges when shooting in DX crop mode, but most of those pixels would be cropped away in Lightroom anyway. And the smaller files make the memory cards last longer, while also upping the FPS to 7 shots per second! Not quite 12 FPS, but still awesome and enough I felt!
What a beautiful way to test the Nikon D810 and Tamron 150-600mm zoom lens for sports photography!

View your artistic mission into photography as an epic odyssey of heroic poetry! Take it from Homer in Homer's Odyssey: "Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy. Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home; but do what he might he could not save his men, for they perished through their own sheer folly in eating the cattle of the Sun-god Hyperion; so the god prevented them from ever reaching home. Tell me, too, about all these things, O daughter of Jove, from whatsoever source you may know them. " --Samuel Butler Translation of Homer's Odyssey
All the best on your Epic Hero's Odyssey from Johnny Ranger McCoy!
Amidst a snow storm we see a late running Mail train climbing Beattock at Greskine. This is 1S02, 08:03 Warrington RMT-Shieldmuir Mail train, which is running 97 minutes late at this point after leaving Warrington 101 late. Immaculate 325007 leads 325013 on the 14th December 2017 at 1154. This is one of the extra services running on the run up to Christmas.
When more lines are needed just put an extra spar on the pole! I guess one day the power company will run out of room!
Happy Telegraph Tuesday!!
Running as W70, this extra 370, makes its way northbound though Lindale, Georgia as the clouds began to clear and the sun finally made its appearance. The trio of western GEs was a nice treat for a manifest.
Temporarily out of real stuff, so relegated to digital diddling.

Business was so good on the GB&W in spring 1977 that I was able to shoot a westbound extra running about 4 hours ahead of number 1 leaving Green Bay. This was the same spot that I'd shot number 1 in the prior October in much better light. Just about to cross Military Avenue the 310 and 309 have 65 cars in tow as they head for the Rapids.
