Geai des chênes (Garrulus glandarius), Neuchâtel, Suisse.
Le geai des chênes est assez farouche mais très curieux. Il est un nicheur sédentaire commun en Europe et parfois un migrateur occasionnel. En effet il peut y avoir des mouvements de plusieurs centaines d'oiseaux d'une région à l'autre ou venant de l'Europe de l'Est. Contrairement aux apparences, le geai des chênes est un oiseau assez grégaire. Il est fréquent de le voir en dehors de la période de reproduction, de le rencontrer seul ou en couple mais aussi en groupe. Il existe une forte cohésion entre les différents membres d'un même groupe. Les oiseaux circulent l’un derrière l’autre dans les sous bois, lançant leurs cris rauques et enroués, tout en se chamaillant. Ces oiseaux sont toujours sur le qui-vive, en véritables sentinelles de la forêt, recherchant, au sol et dans les arbres, des sources de nourriture pour constituer leurs réserves hivernales.
Kurz vor Zernez war die Ge 6/6 II 702 mit ihrem überschaubaren G5336 auf dem Weg nach Landquart zu sehen.

Le coucou geai est un oiseau percheur au bec assez petit et légèrement arqué. Les parties supérieures sont brun foncé tachetées de blanc. Le contraste est frappant avec les parties inférieures jaune roussâtre chez les jeunes, blanc-crème chez les adultes. La calotte, noire chez les jeunes, est grise avec huppe chez les adultes. Les rémiges châtain-roux à pointe blanche chez les jeunes, sont brun-noir à pointe blanche chez les adultes. La queue longue est brun foncé terminée de blanc.
Alors que le Coucou gris choisit les parents adoptifs en priorité chez les passereaux insectivores, le coucou geai préfère les corvidés. Il confie généralement ses œufs à un corbeau, une Pie bavarde, une corneille ou un geai, mais tout corvidé doit s'attendre à trouver dans son nid un ou plusieurs œufs de coucou geai. Comme ils ont la même voix que leurs frères adoptifs, les jeunes du coucou geai vivent en harmonie avec eux. A la différence du Coucou gris, le jeune coucou geai ne jette pas ses frères adoptifs hors du nid, car les parents corvidés ramènent suffisamment de nourriture à l'intrus et à leurs propres petits, alors qu'un petit oiseau chanteur ne pourrait nourrir le Coucou gris en plus de ses oisillons.
Die für den Neubau des Albulatunnel werbende 629 war mit AGZ auf dem Weg von Davos nach Landquart und wurde ebenfalls bei Saal erwartet.
A pile of GEs work the loop track at Shoreham and pull ahead after making their pickup. I was looking to get them going across the Mississippi, however, the pickup move simply took too much time. In any case, I got a fun view I had not tried yet.
Gestern war die neueste Werbelok der RhB, die Ge 4/4 III 649 mit dem Regionalzug von Davos Platz nach Filisur unterwegs.

Prima di lasciare Oberwald alla volta di un nuovo obbiettivo purtroppo rimasto infruttuoso, dedichiamo alla ormai dismessa Ge 4/4 81 un ulteriore ritratto più da vicino che la vede impegnata con un treno auto del Furka verso Realp.
Bevor wir Oberwald in Richtung eines neuen, leider erfolglosen Ziels verlassen, widmen wir der inzwischen ausgemusterten Ge 4/4 81 noch ein näheres Porträt, das sie im Einsatz mit einem Furka-Wagenzug in Richtung Realp zeigt.
Bis auf den neuen Steuerwagen am Zugschluss brachte diese Garnitur für ein paar Wochen nochmal den "alten Flair" an den Albula. Bei Tiefencastel war die Ge 4/4 II 621 auf dem Weg nach St. Moritz zu sehen.
A bunch of Dash 8s, including that pair of turds on EDSP, fill the scene at East Deerfield. It wasn't that long ago that this was an all-EMD railroad.
The power lines were much less of an issue with the old bridge.

Comme tous les "corvidés" ( oiseaux parents de la corneille ), le Geai bleu est un oiseau "intelligent ". Il sait se montrer opportuniste et aussi tyrannique envers les espèces de plus petites tailles.
Like all "corvids" (bird relatives of the crow), the Blue Jay is a "smart" bird. He knows how to be opportunistic and tyrannical towards smaller species.
FGLK's Sunday Sweep Train returning from Solvay to Geneva was always an easy catch, as it climbed up the hill past the historic Martisco station, and was a frequent and rewarding subject. On this summer 2012 day, B23-7 No. 2309 leads the ascent up the Alps, assisted by a GP-9.

Branford Steam railroad BSR3 with GE 85 tonner 7359 works the Tilcon quarry in North Branford, here they are filling up hoppers for Posillico on Long Island, Ny. BSR2 would bring these hoppers 6 miles south to the P&W interchange yard at Pine Orchard for Providence & Worcester to take to New York.
The rear DPU of CSX train K634 leans into the curve as it makes its way through Blue Cut, near Lyons, NY. The train had a pair of KCS GE's for power, and was setup in a 1x1 configuration, allowing for this afternoon shot of an eastbound train.
The annual late fall trip to New Hampshire for Thanksgiving in 2022 came with a rather difficult challenge. A week prior to this shot, a simple tumble turned into no longer having a telephoto lens at my disposal. With only my "pancake" 40, I had to get a wee bit creative with my selection of angles. On November 29th, I met up with my good friend Norm and we chased NECR 611 from Brattleboro to Belchertown. The GE invasion wasn't even a thought, but it was hard to pass up a quartet of matching and relatively clean EMDs. In a genuine fall scene, NECR 3478 leads 611 south across the Millers River and into Millers Falls, MA ultimately heading for Palmer with a good size train.
Big GE 655 leads a Binghamton bound Lanesboro Detour train at the old Erie coaling tower in Susquehanna, PA on 12/28/1985. This was supposedly the last Lanesboro detour train, so the Lanesboro helpers that assisted in the run around move on the Penn Division were left on the end of the train for the trip to Binghamton. The newly rebuilt tunnel was open for train traffic and the first train would pass thru it later that afternoon. After New Years, the Lanesboro detour was used again for a couple of days so that some final finishing work could be completed on the tunnel. Once the tunnel work was complete, the D&H Penn Division was gone forever. There were a few railfans on hand for the final move on the Penn Division, most notably the late J.J. Young Jr., and his photo essay from that final train was featured in an issue of Railpace as I recall. This day in December was my last hurrah however, and the last time I was ever at this location.
Utah did not see much of snow this year. Two days after a limited snow storm, there is at least some powder along UPs Weber and Echo-Canyon route. UP #5781 (AC44CWCTE) along with three other GEs storms uphill at Peterson just mnutes after the sun had touched the ground.
On 7.5.2020 Ge 4/4 II 618 is passing my camera with the train 1064 from Davos to Disentis. Due to the corona crisis, there are only hourly trains between Klosters and Landquart, which makes the arrival and departure by public transport a bit difficult. Nevertheless, I wanted to wait for the last sunny minutes of the day and take a picture of train 1064. Shortly afterwards the suns disappeared behind the mountains.
While the place had worked without problems in the previous years, this time I had to cut back the vegetation a little. But it won't be long before thick branches of a tree, as well as a bush, will close the sight.

With rescue power ahead of the regular train, Amtrak 694 (Amtrak 68 once it reaches CPKC rails) passes the L'Acadie siding in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Qc this past Saturday afternoon. Both southbound and northbound Adirondacks had been cancelled the previous day. As far as I know, this is the first time a 9700-series P42C made its way to Canada.
