Keolis Extra 2025 is seen passing the former B&M Lancaster Freight House in Lancaster, MA as they qualify crews on the Pan Am Worcester Main to account for track work scheduled on the Grand Junction in the coming weeks.
Certainly not the best photo, but there's a bit of a story behind this one.
In summer 2012 we attended the air show at Avord, but this event was below par, partly because that year, the higher powers decided that only French aircraft would be present.
I don't think we bothered with a flying programme but had to leave just before 5pm in order to get back to Paris at a reasonable hour. But we had only been back on the open road for a few minutes when this formation came into view - two Mirage 2000s in formation with a KC-135 tanker.
The KC-135 is one of three additional aircraft acquired from the US in 1994, these receiving extensive updates before arriving in France. The one in my photo is 525, derived from its US serial of 62-3525.

Guilford Rail System/Boston & Maine RR GP39-2368 on a plow extra in 1993 at Waterville ME. The 368 was a Delaware & Hudson unit. The plow looks to have been a Maine Central unit. - from a Kodachrome slide in my collection, photographer unknown
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!!
Temporarily out of real stuff, so relegated to digital diddling.

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.
Man I love the mountains. No location on this picture either because we drove around a bunch and I have no clue where it was.
Edit (6.9.2020) - Found it in my phone
Location: Nilgiri Mountains
Week 17 will be up in the next two days. I've gotten behind because one of the things for the photoshoot took way longer than I thought. I'll fill you in Thursday/Friday when its up.
This is an extra table scrap from November. I wasn't happy with it so I pivoted to a different model.
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.
I'm sure that certain people will recognise this rather distinctive of boxes, and hence be able to surmise with accuracy it's contents. (though only guess at the colour there-of)
However for those who don't find the box familiar, and for those who have a need to know, the identity of it's contents is revealed further along in my photo-stream.

De laatste dag vóór de ingebruikname van de Noord-Zuidlijn Metro betekende ook de laatste dag voor de lijnen 9, 10 en 16 van het Amsterdamse tramnet. Dat ging niet onopgemerkt voorbij: diverse museumtrams reden op deze dag in de "normale" dienst op deze lijnen. Hier steekt Stoeltjeswagen 307, met aan de haak bijwagen 792 de Dam over op weg naar het VUmc. De ritten trokken veel bekijks ( ook voorbijgangers lieten de trams niet onopgemerkt passeren) en natuurlijk ook talloze al dan niet van film-of fotoapparatuur voorziene liefhebbers...
Nog veel meer vintage/museumtrams zijn HIER te vinden:

ESO’s La Silla Observatory boasts a remarkably high number of cloud-free nights a year. The billions of stars that make up the Milky Way is a very common sight indeed. The dome shown in this image houses one of three 60-centimetre telescopes that make up the ExTrA project, which had its first light in late 2017.
This small group of telescopes is primarily designed to detect distant exoplanets transiting in front of bright and nearby red dwarf stars. The project aims to discover as many transiting planets as possible — including Earth-size planets in the habitable-zone — and to determine their structure and composition. These planets will then be observed by the world’s largest telescopes, in order to characterise their atmospheres.

First Cymru repainted a further pair of Wright Eclipse Urban-boded Volvo B7RLEs into the attractive three-tone blue and gold variation of corporate livery in late 2015. These were for an increase in vehicle requirements on the Neath to Swansea group of "Cymru Clipper" services from the start of the new year, operated by Port Talbot depot. The two Volvos are usually to be found on the Neath to Swansea Service X55 short workings and interworked Service 57 (Neath-Briton Ferry-Swansea), which has become part of the "Clipper" network by default.
They finally received fleetname vinyls in late Spring, though they differ slightly from those applied to similar vehicles based at Swansea Ravenhill and its sub-depots.
By way of illustration, 66960 is captured entering Alfred Street in Neath in early June 2016 on an X55 working.
