Columbia Basin Railroad’s turn to Wheeler from Warden is on the former Milwaukee Road branch to Moses Lake, Washington, moving two covered hoppers to the Wilbur Ellis grain elevator at Sieler siding on September 29, 2021.
Milwaukee Road had a grain-gathering branch off the main line at Warden that ran northeast to Marcellus. Not far out of Warden at a place called Tiflis, the railroad had a branch to Moses Lake. On this branch, between Sieler and McDonald, Milwaukee Road built a 4.23-mile spur that ran north to U. & I. Sugar. Northern Pacific, later Burlington Northern also served this plant from the north and connected to the Milwaukee trackage here as well.
When Milwaukee Road departed the west for good, BN took over operations of Milwaukee trackage down the 4.23-mile spur, and on to Moses Lake. The Columbia Basin Railroad was established in 1986 as part of the Washington Central Railroad Company, which bought 230 miles of trackage in Central Washington from BN, which included all the routes that were still extant out of Warden. This line is now abandoned east of Sieler siding to Tiflis, along with the Milwaukee Road branch trackage from Warden to Marcellus.
An elderly couple anxiously waits the arrival of Amtrak's eastbound Empire Builder at Red Wing, Minnesota. After a highly enjoyable trip to the Iron Range I decided to follow the CP River Line south to LaCrosse stopping at the depot at Red Wing. Beforehand I had a short conversation with the couple pictured learning the man's love for train travel netted him an estimated million miles in his lifetime.
With retainers set, the Hood River Railroad passes through Pine Grove as they bring two loaded cars slowly down the hill into the Columbia River Gorge.
The pile of old ties on the left are part of an extensive upgrade the line appears to be getting from its new owners.

Fenchurch Street railway station is a central London railway terminus in the southeastern corner of the City of London. The station opened in 1841 to serve the London and Blackwall Railway (L&BR) and was rebuilt in 1854 when the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway, a joint venture between the L&BR and the Eastern Counties Railway (ECR), began operating.
Fenchurch Street is one of the smallest railway terminals in London in terms of platforms, but one of the most intensively operated. It is the only London terminal with no direct interchange with the London Underground. The area around Fenchurch Street is one of the oldest inhabited parts of London; the name "Fenchurch" derives from the Latin faenum (hay) and refers to hay markets in the area.
The poet John Betjeman passed through the station on day-trips to Southend, and described it as a "delightful hidden old terminus".
The first documented murder on the British rail network occurred on 9 July 1864, when Franz Muller murdered Thomas Briggs shortly after a train left the station en route to Chalk Farm.
Fenchurch Street is one of four railway stations on the standard UK Monopoly board, alongside Liverpool Street, Marylebone and King's Cross.

Back in 2004, we were fishing from a small boat, in Johnstone Strait, between Vancouver Island and the coast of British Columbia. I saw a pod of orca (oprcinus orca) in the distance, positioned our boat in the middle of the strait and turned off both the outboard motor and the echo sounder, to minimise underwater noise. I was hoping that the orca would head our way - and this one did.
After a fairly overcast day, as the sun started to go down the clouds disappeared to leave a blue and yellow sky and beautiful light. In the flat still calm of the water a barge passed through the bridge I was photographing to create this lovely tranquil scene.

After shoving a westbound train up Bozeman Pass a set of helpers has cut off and is heading back to Livingston. A late winter snowstorm has blanketed the area and flocked the trees for this classic view. Muir, MT 3/26/2023

Heading out this morning
Into the sun
Riding on the diamond waves
Little darling one
Warm wind caress her
Her lover it seems
Oh, Annie

The GLC's Owosso north job is on the roll through Ashley heading back to Owosso as the sun dips over the horizon. The reason for their late return is evidenced by the nose of 329 which still caries the damage and some corn from an earlier grade crossing encounter with a farmer's gravity wagon. None the less, I couldn't resist the opportunity with this timing & sky. Ashley, MI 10/18/2024
I'm apart of a photography blog with Meg and our friends Andy and Staci, called his and hers. For each month this year there is a theme or word that you have to capture in a photograph. This month the theme was Self Portrait. Challenging! Not my normal genre in photography :) - but that's the idea.. to grow, to learn, to try new forms of photography that we might not all have ventured into fully so far in this world of photography. Here is one of my submissions for this month. You can check out our blog here: his and hers
Tonight I leave for a two week trip to Asia. Excited to visit parts of the world I've never been before!
