I took this shot circa 1974 with the Pentax K1000 film camera. This photo was scanned from a print. These third graders are hard at work creating three dimensional clay maps of continents and ocean floors as part of a curriculum I helped create and develop.

Truckers call this stretch of mountain just East of Pendleton Oregon "Cabbage" but don't ask me why. One story was a truck loaded with cabbage crashed coming down, but lots of trucks have crashed coming down so why cabbage would get the name, who knows, but ask any trucker that's been driving a few years and they'll know about Cabbage hill. The the truck in this shot is headed East, I was standing just below the West bound lanes. I had parked at the scenic view point and hiked back to the highway and crossed over to get an open view of the mountains and highway below. (I'll include a link to my truck and the scenic view point)

Been back and forth between Phoenix and Los Angeles the past few days, at our Jurupa Valley terminal tonight and have tomorrow off, sort of, picking up Monday morning at 0300, so Mondays gonna kinda sucks, but getting layover pay which is double on the weekends. $200 for a day off, not bad.

Internet here is better at night, so gonna do as much tonight on Flickr as possible, and tomorrow even with slower internet should be able to do more viewing.

Hope you're all having a great weekend taking beautiful pictures.

LTV Mining F units in ABBBA formation are sounding awesome as they climb the grade out of the dock at Taconite Harbor. September 1995.

After rejoining NJ Transit's Main Line, NS H-55 runs grain empties from Bay State through NJT's Paterson Station, which was grade separated from street level by the Erie Railroad in the 1920s.

 

Paterson, NJ

Tried some color grading

EP07-2004 with interregional passenger train 76901 "Kamieńczyk" from Poznań Główny to Szklarska Poręba Górna approaches Szklarska Poręba Dolna. From this perspective you may guess that the Izera Railway from Jelenia Góra is definitely a mountainous route. January 30, 2019.

EP07-2004 z pociągiem InterRegio 76901 "Kamieńczyk" z Poznania Głównego do Szklarskiej Poręby Górnej, wjeżdża do Szklarskiej Poręby Dolnej (po drodze zaliczy jeszcze przystanek o końcówce nazwy "Średnia"). Z tej perspektywy widać, że Kolej Izerska to nie tory na płaszczyźnie :)

With no "two of a kind" locomotive type in the lead (SD70ACe-T4, SD70M, C44ACM, SD40N), UP's daily Roper - North Platte manifest hugs the east bench in the Weber River Valley leaving Henefer, Utah on June 10, 2023.

The leading pair of units on this eastbound manifest were working hard to meet the crest of the grade on the BNSF Midway Subdivision at its namesake of Midway at milepost 5. This morning I had reason to drive over to Hamline University and see if any trains would get sent on the Midway Subdivision.

Creake Abbey is just outside the village of North Creake, a few miles south of Burnham Market in Norfolk. The vast majority of our abbeys and monasteries were destroyed in the Dissolution by King Henry VIII in the mid-late 1530s. But Creake Abbey, founded by the Augustinians as a priory in the 12th century, had come to grief long before that. A fire swept through the abbey in 1483, damaging the church and several of the other buildings beyond repair.

 

Subsequently, although extensive rebuilding of the quire and presbytery had made good progress an outbreak of the 'sweating sickness' wiped out the monastic community in 1506, the abbot himself being the last to die. This was a mysterious and contagious disease that struck England and later continental Europe in a series of epidemics beginning in 1485. The disease was last recorded in 1551.

 

The abbey site and estate was given to Lady Margaret Beaufort in 1507, and ended up in the ownership of Christ's College, Cambridge. The abbey ruins are Grade I-listed and in the care of English Heritage. They are freely accessible to the public.

A scene from my S gauge model railroad. Shot with the Olympus E-M1. The Texas & Pacific diesel is an original from American Flyer.

We caught up with the 29G we saw at Salem earlier for this seen in the middle of Christiansburg Grade. Still gloomy, but the fog on the hills added some ambience.

Back to school pictures are in order today. The remaining summer fun will now have to be experienced in the evenings and weekends. I was brave saying goodbye to my 3rd grader this morning, we met her teacher last night and I am expecting a great year! I'm looking forward to volunteering and getting involved.

One of the tools of the trade when I started teaching in 1974.

Vancouver, Canada

i've always loved this school picture, because I actually had a broken arm -- I wanted my picture taken with the sling around my neck, but the photographer insisted not!

 

I have stuck in many people's memory from that year in school, because I actually broke BOTH arms, sequentially (not at the same time) -- first one I fell down on the school playground at a parent-teacher conference night -- skinned my knee & didn't even notice my arm, til the next morning when mom decided I was holding my arm strangely and asked if I could rotate my wrist -- I looked blankly at her and said, "no, why?" so I'd fractured my right wrist -- spent six weeks in a sling, and then the day after I got it off, I fell down rollerskating and broke my left arm.

 

yes, i am clumsy.

 

my grandmother crocheted that dress for me -- my sister had one with a sort of raspberry color instead of the green.

 

taken at Van Auken Elementary School, in palo alto, 1973 -- i was probably still six, soon to turn seven...

So heres the full story: The day prior to this, ZMQG4s lead ace (seen 3rd out) suffered an engine block failure and was shut down indefinitely. Rather than run the BN ace around, they parked it in nowhere southern Illinois. Now a day behind schedule, IG4SI was supposed to drop a CSX unit to rescue IG4SI, and clearly that didnt happen. So an extra board crew out of Dupo had to drive up to Bloomington, steal their local power, and bring the now 2 days late stack, into G4... running under IDUG4X-20.

 

Props to the based crew that chatted with us while they were parked south of Gardner later that evening.

 

Anyways, heres the rescued stack screaming through Odell in notch 8.

The Grade II Listed early Trinity House-commissioned, symmetrical lighthouse complex, on Caldey Island, a small island off the coast from Tenby in Pembrokeshire, South Wales.

 

A painted plaque on the lighthouse records 'Erected A.D. 1828 by the Corporation of Trinity House and light exhibited for the benefit of navigation, January 26th 1829.' The lighthouse was engineered and built by Joseph Nelson, a notable lighthouse engineer from Leeds, who was responsible for the construction of a number of lighthouses in the British Isles. The lantern appears to be a replacement, possibly of 1875 (the date on the associated oil store), together with the optic. The lighthouse serves as a marker for coastal traffic and displays an intermittent flashing light with 2 red sectors.

Coxo is a favorite spot for the photographers especially from the highway. Trying to get trackside is not as simple although rewarding with the angles of the grade accentuated by the pond alongside the track. The bark of the two locomotives echos across the valley of Wolf Creek.

NA tank loco 6A attacks the grade leaving Cockatoo with a Gembrook bound pass. 11/9/16

Great Blue Heron with Bluegill in the Canal, Wildwood Lake, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

The managers parking spot needed some attention. You saw the finished picture earlier and thought I just backed in and set up camp didn't you? Bringing in gravel and using the tractor the spot was graded and leveled. One side was off almost 2 feet.

 

So how hard could it be to run a campground? It fell in our laps so we decided to give it a try! I will put up a series of photos of our campground life.

 

This is where I spent 3 months (July - early October) as a Campground manager. Seneca Shadows Campground in Seneca Rocks, West Virginia. It is in the Seneca Rocks - Spruce Knob Recreation area that is part of the Monongahela National Forest

It won't be long before these will be prom pictures.

Norfolk & Western No. 611 climbs the famed Christiansburg grade near Shawsville, VA with an excursion bound for Walton, VA.

In run 8 as the headend rolls toward the final grade crossing as they climb towards to summit of Mullan Pass. This is a fine piece of railroad I am sad to see it returned to the BNSF.
