"Hala kahiki" is the Hawaiian word for pineapple. When Hawaiians first saw the pineapple, they thought it resembled the Hawaiian Hala, so they named it "hala kahiki," meaning "foreign Hala".

Don’t you hate how weekends flyby? This is Chicagos shoreline from this mornings blue hour. We went out hoping that both, blue hour and sunrise would be great but sunrise failed and all the good stuff happened from 5-6am. What do you think?
Your eyes don't deceive you! The UP Computer system sure didn't believe that the GTW 5937 had made its way onto the LMC40 for the second consecutive day, but it sure did!
This engine came into town with another CN unit, the 5773, presumably on an HNTP, the power got split up, and reallocated for other purposes. I can count on exactly one hand how many times I've seen foreign-road power lead this local over the years, and to make it a good looking SD40-2? Yes, please!
For the record, this non-dynamic 40-2 was built in 1975 as the MP 3196, so it's very likely spent plenty of time in the Sunflower State in the past.
A malicious barren place, the desert holds nothing, promises nothing. I dare not have expectations. No matter how foreign the land may seem, it is I who is foreign.
What a unique vehicle! I'd never seen anything like it. In the earlier days of modern invention there were lots of ideas about how to do things. This was one of them.
Like most of the vehicles at this museum, it runs. Here a video of it.

October 2, 2021 - Went to Jeff Lane Motor Museum in Nashvile, Tennessee. This place is fantastic! Over 500 vehicles. I've been to one of the best car museums in the U.S., Petersen Auto Museum in L.A. but this one is right up there with it. Specializes in foreign cars and unique vehicles. Half of these I'd never seen or heard of. Well worth going to.
New York, Suquehanna, and Western SD60's 3808 and 3802 lead RJ Corman MR25 through Rockfield on the Memphis Line with 42 Alcan empties.
Utah Railway #5006 sits tied down somewhere in Kansas, on the former Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific line to Denver.
This abandoned hall was still used to paint containers which provided a nice colorful contrast to the image. I took the image back in 2015 in the steel plant Maxhütte.

The National Wallace Monument (generally known as the Wallace Monument) is a tower standing on the shoulder of the Abbey Craig, a hilltop overlooking Stirling in Scotland. It commemorates Sir William Wallace, a 13th-century Scottish hero.
The tower was constructed following a fundraising campaign, which accompanied a resurgence of Scottish national identity in the 19th century. In addition to public subscription, it was partially funded by contributions from a number of foreign donors, including Italian national leader Giuseppe Garibaldi. The foundation stone was laid in 1861 by the Duke of Atholl in his role as Grand Master Mason of Scotland with a short speech given by Sir Archibald Alison.
It was completed in 1869 to the designs of architect John Thomas Rochead at a cost of £18,000, the monument is a 67-metre (220-foot) sandstone tower, built in the Victorian Gothic style.

While the scene and locos may look ordinary, this is actually Norfolk Southern's 21D powered by CSX Motors ready to depart Charleston, SC.
A foreign leader on the Norfolk Southern Pittsburgh Line is a rare sight now a days. I was ecstatic to see a CSX GEVO parked at the WYE on the Buffalo Line (where the bare tables are snaking off of just beyond the signals) and even more thrilled that it got a signal down to the fuel pad while I had time to grab it.
The train is 24V and the bare tables came out of New York the evening prior.

A couple of CSX locomotives leads this oil train on the NS Toledo-Cleveland main line near Oak Harbor, Oh. (7/23/16)
Il termine "foreign power" e' adoperato nel gergo tecnico per indicare convogli di un'amministrazione in servizio su linee appartenenti ad una differente impresa.
E' il caso di questa coppia di locomotive CSX, ancora colorate nella livrea "Bright Future" e capeggiate dalla Dash8 #7741, in corsa presso Oak Harbor, Oh. alla testa di un convoglio di cisterne sulla rete Norfolk Southern. (23/7/16)
During the Winter of 2012-13 the Canadian National RR started using lots of locomotives from other railroads. I was going thru a backup hard drive, updating directory names etc and came across this photo set. I literally had unboxed my new (at the time) D5100 the previous day, and went out with Mark Llanuza during one of the rare snow storms that winter to shoot this M337 (I think) train running under the old EJ&E flyover in Wayne, IL Those were the days....
