Fuel Trains

I guess the line at the gas station is long enough so that drivers, to save fuel, turn the vehicles off and push them when the line moves forward. Geotag is very, very approximate. It was the end of a long day, almost a decade ago.
Photojournalism remains one of my photographic weaknesses, but I keep trying.
If you decide to travel along this highway into the bowels of the Universe, carry enough fuel to cover the billions of light years ahead of you. You won't find a place to refuel. When you have travelled this distance without finding anything, not even a little bit of intelligent life and you reach the far reaches of the Universe... don't be scared... there's nothing there, either. Only the "nothing". Or since everything is cyclical, perhaps you have returned to the place where you started, full of wisdom from your long trip. It's probably better to look for intelligent life on Earth, but it's also very likely that you'll have a hard time finding it. Don't worry about not understanding the Universe or the reason for its existence... you're not Einstein, but one day you'll understand that... The Universe is wounded, but it still has infinity ahead of it. It still has you and me. Merry Christmas to all and to the infinite Universe that is within you.
Gregory Alan Isakov - The Universe
Y el Universo está susurrando tan suavemente que puedo oírlo todo... el zumbido de los insectos, todos los taxis, todo el cambio gastado de los vagabundos, todos los chicos jugando a la pelota en los callejones. Son sólo pliegues en su vestido. El Universo, está herido, pero aún tiene el infinito por delante. Todavía nos tiene a ti y a mí. Y todos dicen que es hermoso. Y todos dicen...

Music for your trip to the Universe:
Ground Control to Major Tom. Ground Control to Major Tom. Take your protein pills and put your helmet on. Ground Control to Major Tom (ten, nine, eight, seven, six)... Commencing countdown, engines on (five, four, three)... Check ignition and may God's love be with you (two, one, liftoff...)
Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts VI–IX
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond", was written as a tribute to Syd Barrett, one of the founders of Pink Floyd. He was also known as "The Crazy Diamond Syd". Barrett was a very creative musician and is considered one of the rock icons, with a strong influence on many artists, very especially to David Bowie. Syd Barrett is a key piece to understand the evolution of rock in the 70s.. Excessive drug use, especially LSD, caused him serious mental health problems. Syd Barrett died in 2006 at the age of 60. Always shine diamond.
The Universal is a science fiction song written as a tribute to two films by film director Stanley Kubrick. In the video, the Blur members wear outfits similar to Alex and his gang of thugs, the protagonists of the movie "A Clockwork Orange." The image used for the cover of the single alluded to what is possibly Kubrick's best film: "2001: To Space Odyssey."
We haven't changed that much in 300,000 years of evolution.

PS: Electronic - Can't Find My Way Home Just a recommendation. It is important to learn the road signs of the Universe... happy return.
PS: Ground Control to Major Tom. Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong. Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you...

Farm Fuel old gas pump on this farm, easier to have a source of fuel than drive the tractor to the station, found in North Carolina.
An early morning capture of the old Birchfield Garage/filling station in Much Wenlock, Shropshire, taken during a recent visit to the area.
The history of this site appears a bit sketchy; the middle pump has prices in Pence, which dates it post decimalisation of 1971. I’ve not found any reference as to when this forecourt ceased dispensing fuel and was left to the elements, perhaps it may have fallen into disuse once the requirement to dispense fuel in Litres was mandated in 1995; the pumps are all in imperial gallons.
I saw a post recently somewhere from someone purporting to be the owner, who stated that the garage to the side of the pumps is still in use and therefore asks that posts relating to the site not be tagged as abandoned.
A photo of an old Mobile gas station at 831 West Street in Grinnell, Iowa that has now been re-purposed into a Mexican restaurant. You can't fill-up your car here, but you can get a side of beans that will cost you less than a gallon of gas.

As fuel costs have risen dramatically over the last year; I like many others have taken to turning the heating down or off.
Its surprising how many extra layers of clothing you need when sitting in front of the computer and not moving much.
At least here in the UK its just cold as opposed to parts of the USA and Canada that are currently in the "deep freeze".
It's Thursday, so it is time for a truck. This one is a fuel truck abandoned high on a ridge. It is a leftover from the days when the area was logged years ago.
We have developed a tradition of hiking up to visit this truck after Thanksgiving. It is usually a somewhat miserable trip as a result of rain or snow. The weather fulfilled our expectations as it was cold, wet and windy.
Happy Truck Thursday!
The diesel powered Class 60 powers past the coal fired Ratcliffe power station with fuel oil for Kingsbury. God Bless Mother Earth.
This is 60019 passing Gateway West Junction with the 0702 Lyndsey Oil Refinery to Kingsbury Oil Sidings.

The last picture of my Magnificent Hummingbird series. This one is pretty different from the others, but I thought the bokeh was interesting- creating a "soft" feeling.
Broken thoughts
A tameless mind
The beauty in the flaw
My roots grow deep
In frozen ground
Seeking troubled soil
Cause I bloom in the cold
Soak my heart
In reckless nights
Fuel me with the raw
Oh I'm seeking chills
To ease my mind
When blossoms start to fall
Cause I bloom in the cold
I bloom
Two BNSF helper sets await their next shove at Crawford, NE on Sept. 11, 2000. One this day, four sets were being used, three with four SD40-2's and a fuel tender and one with two SD70MAC's and a fuel tender. The SD70MAC set seemed to be used primarily on manifests while the SD40-2 sets handled the unit coal trains. I was quite fond of this BNSF scheme on the SD40-2's.
