Halftime performance

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.

Founded in 1867 this school was built to educate former slaves. It was funded by New York educator and philanthropist, Emily Howard. The one room schoolhouse is 26 x 40 feet and was built by local black carpenters and builders. It was known as a graded school because it only educated grades 1 through 7.

Originally it was called the Howland Chapel because on Sundays it also served as a place of worship (for what would become the First Baptist Church congregation) until 1920. The school closed its doors in 1958 after being a schoohouse for almost 100 years. It is little altered from the Reconstruction era, but got new siding and minor restoration in 1991. This is the oldest school in Northumberland County, Virginia. It is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Shot with the Olympus E-5 just outside the east portal of the Hoosac Tunnel in the Berkshire Mountains of western Massachusetts, USA. Just ahead one can make out a bridge crossing the river and the accompanying railroad signals.

VTR 307 leads train GMRC 263 up the steep grade out of Rutland and over the Green Mountains to Bellows Falls

With their EMD 16-645 Prime Movers screaming, four Blue Ridge Southern SD40-2's make the final assault on Camelback Grade and into Canton with a decent sized T31 dragging behind.

Led by a quartet of SDs, a westbound train on Southern Pacific's Modoc Line climbs out of the Madeline Plains toward Sage Hen summit. This ASEUM is near old Pinnio, which was once a station on the grade between Madeline and Sage Hen.

C17 967 works up the grade into Gympie

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

Led by Southern Pacific GE AC4400CW No. 340, an eastbound Union Pacific coal train descends the two percent grade between Clay and Rocky, Colorado on April 13, 2002. The head en is approaching the west switch of Rocky siding, and the two DPUs on the rear of the train are above and just crossed over the east switch of Clay siding, while a lone mid-train DPU is circling Big 10 Curve out of sight to the left.

 

I had finished a photoshoot with someone for shots of their horses with the grandkids and stayed in the area for an extra hour and a half for a storm to cross so I could photo this grader that was sitting in their field. Nothing spectacular, I just loved the yellow against the dark sky.

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.

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 action is intense south of Rainelle along the NF&G for loads returning back to the outside world at Meadow Creek, WV. Half of the train has been left behind at the base of the grade and still, this is how hard a duo of modern GEs has to work to get the train u to stable ish ground at Meadow Bridge.

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.

Steep Grade...Rosedale area (KC Metro)

Southbound empty train C640 from Martin yard heads to Hazard on the former E&BV subdivision. The train is cresting the steep grade out of Beaver Gap. Train is between Kite and Deane Kentucky.

Pitstone Windmill is a Grade II* listed windmill in England which is thought to date from the early 17th century. It stands in the north-east corner of a large field near the parish boundary of Ivinghoe and Pitstone in Buckinghamshire, and belongs today to the National Trust.

With nearly 200 empties, eastbound CSX empty double-coal train U214 slowly ascends the steep gradient through Moss Run, VA, as they're determined to not come to a complete stop just ahead of the OX Cabin control point on the sunny afternoon of February 16, 2020.

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.

...or Ms. st.John your 6th grade teacher.

A remote road off of Highway 28 steep and slick, but couldn't resist when February hits a 60 degree day.
