If you ever wondered what Truck vs. Bridge looked like, here it is.
This had obviously just happened. The cops werent there yet. The poor guy was sitting in the cab on his cell phone, with a "I don't even know what happened" look on his face.
Sad, kind of. There's no way that this isn't a terminable offense.
Not deliberately water entered the camera. It was in vertical position and inclined upwards, with the weak part up.

Lol this is why I don't wear anything in photos I've been at the point a while where I couldn't care less about what's on my body so long as I got working organs & a brain & w/e it's a chill place w a lot of bad shoes & socks combos
Pretty sure I've mentioned this on here before but it's something I've been feeling really frustrated with lately, that it's impossible to put your whole self online or communicate your whole self through a phone. Not that I'd ever want my whole self online, but I also don't want to come off as someone I'm not, does that make any sense? I don't want to omit something important.
Idk I feel like we try so hard to make connections but they miss or don't work out because who we're being really isn't us, or at least all of us. Basically I hate social networking blah blah but I need it to stay in touch with the people I love blah it's a necessary evil & I guess I gotta live with that blah.
(And also just a nod to the fact that if you're with someone or someones but everyone's on their phones that's not really being "with" anyone, at least physically. Everyone might as well just sit at home & stare at their laptop). IDk I dig this concept and I wish I had more time on my hands to do it better; maybe once the semester slows down a bit (hah) I'll redo it. Anyhow happy Thursday & I'll c yall w another upload tomorrow :)
The overnight sleeper failed at Carlisle, a door problem I saw reported. It decanted the unlucky passengers onto the platform, and proceeded to London later in the day. Scheduled to go via Wolverhampton, Stechford, Birmingham International it turned left at Stafford and made some time up on the fast line up the Trent valley. So much so that I only just made it in time.... Thanks to gen providers.
Ok, so it's only funny if you live in the northeast.
Giant Eagle is a regional grocery store chain. They "bought" an auditorium on the Carnegie Mellon campus, but it's also a computer cluster so food and drink are not allowed in the room.
Class 47 No. 47828, passes Kempseye working the 1Z52 Shrewsbury - High Wycombe. This was scheduled to be 61306 'Mayflower' which unfortunately failed at Coton Hill.
In the 8th century two brothers, David and Constantine, led a rebellion against occupying Arabs. This failed and they were captured, tortured and killed after refusing to convert to Islam. Tradition holds that their bodies were thrown into the Tskaltsitela River and that lions dragged their remains to a hill overlooking the river. Motsameta means "place of the martyrs" and King Bagrat IV (ruled 1027-1072) had the Motsameta Monastery built on the hill after they were recognized as Saints by the church. Relics of the brothers are kept at the monastery.
The intended target and my first time seeing one of these. Amtrak Train 849 glides west into Torresdale with one of the new Avelia Liberty sets, which was returning from a failed series of tests on the New England side of the Northeast Corridor. Who knows when these things will ever enter revenue service
I suppose failed is a bit of a harsh phrase as I have plans to redo this in the future, but I wanted to post this just to kinda have a marker for where it started

Secret #3: I've kept a journal since I was thirteen years old. Every year I buy a new journal and I like having a place to put down my thoughts. Writing things down has always helped me relieve stress. I kind of like it the old-fashioned way where I can write things down on paper and open up the journals years later. Some of them are still at my parents' home and I hope they don't go reading them!
I hate to post and run but I must today. Deadline calls...catch up with you later... =)

I tried several different things yesterday and they failed so much! Then I decided to just play with perspective =)
this is not a store. here I will put something that was created by me or my partner.
if you like anything, please feel free to take it home. I am very happy if you can feel at home here.
please send a note card to maclane mills,maclane cioc or marimari yuitza if you have anything. the answer might be delayed since the log-in time is not consistent, but I will answer it without fail.

Late in the day, when the sun starts to descend, an apricot-pink plank of warmth applies itself to the covers and stretches itself to great lengths across the floor and out the door into the hall. But because of my expired film oddities, and desaturation, I once again have something which rather than feeling warm and cozy, appears to be a little spooky. Let’s just go with it: welcome to the haunted beach house. Sheesh.
14:52 Try again, fail again, fail better.
I recently bought a new variable ND filter. My first attempt to use it was a huge fail - extreme overexposure, extreme underexposure. This week I failed again, but I failed better. Set on aperture priority, I'm still underexposing and not getting the smoothing I'd like. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I'll keep playing and I'm sure with a few more fails, I'll figure it out. Life's like that. :)
Another fantastic day in the excellent company of Jacinto Oliveira.
It's true, this amazing little bird never fails to impress and a journey there isn't complete without a few shots of it.
Cheers everyone.

N472 leads a failed N453 plus a VN and FN set out of Traralgon headed towards Morwell on 8424 up Bairnsdale Passenger train. 22nd July 2016
There is no bigger story from local rail preservation this year than that of the resumption of work on Rio Grande 223 under the guidance of the C-16 Locomotive Society and the Colorado Railroad Museum. After six years of the locomotive sitting in a state of suspended animation, the resumption of work and its eventual return to Colorado is an exciting conclusion to a long restoration process.
It's also elicited a bit of reflection, I never was a member of the Golden Spike chapter of the R&LHS but my family offered some financial donations (okay my dad bought me the poster they were selling as a fundraiser when we first visited the 223 shops), and I was cheerleading the project from the comfort of my armchair. Occasionally a narrative still arises that that the R&LHS chapter failed the restoration effort, when what I have gathered it was a fairly steady restoration job; paying as they could go and putting quality if slow going work into the engine. Ultimately what doomed the Golden Spike R&LHS was difficulty navigating the mercurial world of city politics, and Ogden City's shut down of the project in 2019 was a slap in the face towards the volunteers working on the engine (que some "well you need to own the property" quote from online commentators, advice I'd argue while true always comes across as "well no shit Sherlock... hammocks! Why didn't I think of that?"). Understandably the Golden Spike chapter continued to fight for the engine's future and by extension the Utah State Railroad museum's future as a whole, creating a narrative as seen by some that they were an obstinate party, despite their effort leading to local news coverage of their efforts making it to the broader public raising awareness of the locomotive and the museum.
In a way the Golden Spike chapter's stubbornness paid off in drawing attention to redevelopment plans at Union Station. One of the biggest controversies my social media and photography pages have ever stumbled into was a report my friends and I published while I was in college over planned changes to Ogden's Union Station (written some years before the 223 lock-out), having seen early draft renovation plans for the site that would have removed the rail displays in favor of an ice rink. We got a lot of push back on that subject (in part because of our panicked, overeager and screaming from the rooftops tone that I can best attribute to "I was younger then"), and I understandably dropped it and shrank away from discussions of it; only to see the discussions on the museum's future flare up after the 223 lock-out occurred. In looking back on the matter recently, I got a chuckle that I threw out barbs out at the time rooted in a "poor, poor, pitiful me" attitude on local rail preservation; it's something that can still stick with me to some regard but has been tempered a lot by a) reminding myself of my armchair enthusiast position in almost all of this and that it isn't so fair to throw darts from the comfort of home and b) the realization that my own dissatisfaction with local steam lacking in action pushed me to take visits to some of my now favorite railroads in Nevada, Oregon, Colorado, Ohio and as far as Britain last year (and also with it a greater appreciation for the National Park Service ran Golden Spike site as my one local exception to the norm, I love my time visiting there) in the last few years leading to some of my most favorite adventures and memories that I could never have achieved as a railfan had I just stayed home waiting stubbornly for 223 or some other local project to suddenly roll out in steam here in Utah without any effort from my part! There is also some vindication too with time, since I also believe what has helped shaped Union Station's direction recently for the better has been consistent public feedback and even outcry from the community showing how much we love our railroad museum.
What has happened since, in the whims of city politics Ogden still is marching ahead with considering plans to renovate the Union Station site but public feedback has helped them keep the rail history as part of their future plans. The former Golden Spike members became one of the most vocal voices on this and groups such as "Save Union Station" on social media proved the public desire to see rail history remain on site as renovation plans continued to involve On the museum's end, this has included a growth in the diesel locomotive displays (and an eagle eye looking at my photo can spot the Western Pacific engine down the track, fulfilling a long vacant need to represent Utah's smallest Class One at the museum); and Ogden's work recently shows a continued interest in moving forward with the museum and site redevelopment in step. It is a reminder that for all the foibles of governance, that local voices can matter; and I hope the former 223 restoration crew continues to publicly voice their approval or disapproval of changes at the museum as the place continues to evolve; and that victories such as the Western Pacific finally being fully represented at the museum continue to benefit the local community and preservation interests. Maybe with the right voices in the room as the station's future redevelopment is considered, we can have our cake and eat it too; getting both a better rail museum and a downtown commercial/tourist anchor in the process; but that cannot be achieved if the rail preservation parties were to roll over silently and not raise their voices since without that open public dialogue we could always end right back up at those days of "ice rink" site plans again.
If anything while 2019's 223 shut down could have been read as a local government callous to its rail history, the 2025 donation of the engine seems a more calculated decision to deaccession the piece from the collection to its proper home in Colorado while turning the focus to Utah related subjects (although trust me, I wish something at least could stand in at the museum for Utah's often forgotten narrow gauge history! Anyone got a spare Utah Northern engine lying around?) This last week a former DRGW SW1200 made its way into Utah, en-route to Ogden; the latest addition to a collection of Utah rail history to come to the museum, it's shared time here with 223 before the narrow gauge engine leaves for its new home will likely be short but it is a neat changing of the guard as the collection in Ogden both expands in scope yet with a more narrow focus on Utah railroading.
It is unfortunate though that in a change of stewardship, that the R&LHS chapter won't have much of a hand on the wheel for 223's future; but I suspect once the engine arrives in Colorado the completed cab, appliances and tender worked on by the Golden Spike chapter will be a blessing for the new restoration crew; and attention can be focused on the boiler and running gear instead. The work the R&LHS put in will hopefully prove invaluable to bringing the rest of the project to a close. I think many of us will be excited for the day 223 once again steps out on the rails under steam, the conclusion of a long, sometimes painful, yet what shall be an ultimately victorious restoration effort born from starry eyed and dedicated volunteer work in the full Titfield Thunderbolt-ian vein. Every piece worked on from the Golden Spike R&LHS' contributions to the eventual conclusion in Colorado will represent one of the most storied restoration efforts in American rail preservation history; and I hope that when the day comes 223's whistle is heard in the Rockies again that everyone who has ever worked on the project can smile knowing it proved the naysayers who looked at a pitiful wreck of a locomotive dragged from a Salt Lake City park saying "it can't be done!" wrong once and for all! When we're standing trackside watching 223 roll by someday we'll all owe our gratitude to the dreamers who said it was possible and started the project. I hope to be there in Golden, or Durango or Chama or wherever it is that day when it finally happens to see it myself.
I had the day off yesterday and decided I was going to take some great pictures. I got out my tripod, my lenses and even the manual for camera. I decided to try to see things in a new way. I looked indoors and outdoors. I looked for bright colors and for patterns. I zoomed in for macros and zoomed out for scenery. I took still life shots and action shots. I looked for funny shots and original shots. After hours and hours and hundreds and hundreds of pictures I didn't end up with a single picture I like. So, instead of showing you one failure I decided to show you 16!
BTW, there's a picture in here that shows Mack getting much closer to a black squirrel than I thought was possible.
