GWR 43xx class Mogul No 5322 poses on the turntable catching the light while waiting to be turned during a photoshoot at Didcot railway centre.
Common or European starling, learnt the beak is yellow for summer and for breeding then turns dark like this one for winter...but it was lovely and sunny as you can see with the colours of his feathers glinting in the sun
Glinting in the warm setting sun, the locos seem to be glowing like neon as they head up to the North of Tasmania with Number 36, the overnight intermodal train linking Hobart with the North and North Western ports of Tasmania.
I AM A THOUSAND WINDS THAT BLOW.
I AM THE DIAMOND GLINTS ON SNOW.
I AM THE SUNLIGHT ON RIPENED GRAIN.
I AM THE GENTLY AUTUMN RAIN.

Still snowing here - and promises more as the week goes by.
This was made on the same morning as my previous image. It was a rare good morning among a long run of dull mornings, so when the chance came I was out the door and down to my local canal. I made this composition with my 100-400mm lens, which is a dream to use compared with my old 75-300. The older lens was lighter and easier to carry, but there is a clarity about the bigger lens that makes image making more simple. After making this image I walked across to the Weirfield where the mist was thicker and that provided further possibilities.
An image taken in 2013 which has been smartened up by better processing techniques - well, you like to think you've learned something in the virtual darkroom after seven years.
Taken into the light, the RAW file was exposed to suppress the shadows and capture some of the sky detail. Unlikely to be everyone's cup of tea but appeals to me, and perhaps symbolic of the times.

Fourteen locomotives head back to Helena, Montana, as a light engine movement on the afternoon of February 6, 1997. Two 4-unit helper sets, a 2-unit point helper and a set of four BNSF locomotives glint the evening sun at Austin dropping downgrade off Mullan Pass. Looks like an engineer on one of the helper sets forgot to turn off the sanders with all of that sand swirling around!
In the very last of an April evening's light, 45137 'THE BEDFORDSHIRE AND HERTFORDSHIRE REGIMENT (T.A.)' approaches Newlay, a few miles outside of Leeds, with the 1635 Carlisle to Leeds service.

The newly-minted Bombardier 'Aventra' class 730/2 5-car units are now beginning to replace the 20 year old class 350 'Desiro' 4-car units on the Birmingham - Liverpool services operated by West Midlands Trains.
One of the first ones I've seen rolls in to Acton Bridge station and, perhaps appropriately, catches some nice early morning sun. The train is the 6.34am Birmingham New St - Liverpool Lime St (1F44), with unit 730235 doing the honours.
A new dawn for this service? Perhaps not, but the 350s were starting to look a bit jaded, and the extra seating capacity on the new trains certainly won't go amiss.

The sun has just risen above the mountains in the background to find Ceres Rail Company's class 19D No.3322 and short passenger consist storming out of Prince Alfred Hamlet in spectacular fashion!
Two former D&RGW SD40T-2s, WE 5413/5391, head for the yard at Hartland, Ohio with Wheeling and Lake Erie's train from the Norfolk Southern interchange at Bellevue.
With seconds of light to spare an eastbound BNSF manifest curves near Laguna, New Mexico toward Chicago.

Storytime, I guess. CN's Proctor Family days train, made up of North Shore Scenic equipment, went up the hill with the DMIR 215 on July 28th, while I was at work. After work, I too headed up the hill with the intent to drone that train, which was sitting at the Diesel House in the yard.
Well, after doing that, I noted a meet taking place at Coons Siding, and headed north to intercept what I had assumed would be a quick meet and a southbound Missabe ore train (Which was BLE 909 with some nicely steaming loads). I figured I could make a glint shot happen at Jeffery Road in Munger, Minnesota.
After arriving at Jeffery Rd and meeting with some out-of-towners, a train got lit northbound out of Proctor. So, we all migrated to the north side of the Rainy Sub bridge and set up for the train, which we were figuring was the IC 6251, which it obviously was.
The only issue imposing on our beautiful, well lit shot at Munger were the closing shadows on the bridge and curve, and wispy clouds blocking the sun (duh). After slugging their way through the double track at Adolph and Carsons, we heard the tones of a garbage K3 and knew the prize was right around the corner.
And then the sun came out.
Bingo!

Almost as quickly as the sun appeared today, it disappeared just as fast. I was surprised this photo came out at all, as hard as it was snowing when I took this. :)
