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.

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

A view from the cab as SP's I-SF-24 train navigates the loops at Goldtree, just north of San Luis Obispo, California.
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.

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
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.
New England Central train 611 has made light work of the grade at Belchertown, MA with only 13 cars in tow as they pass MP 75 on the Palmer Sub.
This beautiful Grade II-listed building is on the quayside at Boscastle in North Cornwall. According to British Listed Buildings the cottage dates from around the mid-1800s, possibly with earlier origins.
Boscastle harbour is a natural inlet protected by two stone harbour walls built in 1584 and is the only significant harbour for 20 miles along the north Cornish coast. Once a small port importing limestone and coal, and exporting slate and other local produce, these days it is simply home to a handful of small inshore fishing boats and a couple of small pleasure craft.
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.
WAMA is just starting to crest the grade at Klatte Rd. as it's only a few miles from Northern Maine Jct where they will make a stop to drop some cars for CMQ, dirt for Orrington, and asphalt tanks for Lanes. Got lucky with a nice leader, spring is in full bloom as the trees are budding fast.
Mudhen 463 leads a pair of K-36's up the grade out of Chama on a photographers charter.

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.
Rio Grande 3100 and a pair sister GP40-2s shove a couple of tank cars up the Chem Spur to be delivered to Mesa Oil. An oil reclamation company as I recall. In any even the spur was very steep. 9.13.01
A heavy westbound manifest crawls uphill toward the summit at Georgetown Junction, located just behind me in this view. On the right, track maintenance crews prepare to work on Metro's Red Line, the next victim in the ongoing "Safetrack" maintenance blitz.
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.
The Grade I-listed Church of St Mary Magdalen in Geddington is one of the most beautiful and historic buildings in Northamptonshire. Its central nave is Saxon and dates from between 850 and 950AD. The north isle is 12th century Norman. The south aisle, chancel and tower are all Norman 13th century. There is evidence of an earlier Saxon portion to the chancel. Prior to the building of the stone structure, it is thought a wooden Saxon church existed on this site.

A scene from my S gauge model railroad. Shot with the Olympus E-M1. The Texas & Pacific diesel is an original from American Flyer.
NS 2609 makes quick work of Horseshoe Curve leading a high priority intermodal up the grade towards the summit on a chilly January Afternoon.
Steve, Robert and I were waiting at the Curve for NS 747, which consisted of NS 4000, 4002 and 8114. We froze to death, so unfortunately we did not catch it at the Curve. However, the parade of westbound intermodals produced some decent power, with this being one of them.
