The power for Union Pacific’s LJP45 “dirt train” local out of Helper, Utah, sits near the locomotive facility on the frigid, cold night of December 1, 2004. A pair of Rio Grande SD40T-2s are mu’d with a UP SD40-2 and a UP SD60M.
Help! This year is running much too fast! It has only just begun and six days are already over! Slow down year!
Hilfe! Dieses Jahr ist einfach zu schnell! Jetzt hat's doch erst gerade angefangen und schon ist es sechs Tage alt! Brems doch, du Jahr, du!
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, and stay safe! ❤️❤️❤️
In the summer of 2003, Crawford Hill on BNSF’s Butte Subdivision out of Alliance, Nebraska, featured at least three sets of Cascade green three-window EMD SD60M helper sets, mostly equipped with a fuel tender. On July 22, 2003, a trio of these former BN EMDs rolls downgrade at Breezy Point just west of Belmont, heading back to Crawford after pushing a BNSF coal train over the grade.
Hello dear visitors,
In this exhibition, I invite you to experience the concept of "consciousness" through photographs. Let's discuss and debate the sum of our experiences, feelings, and awareness, and together question our intellectual and emotional processes as we oscillate between boredom and passing the time.
Throughout the flow of photographs, I hope that internal and external stimuli, along with some symbolic elements, will invite you to reflect on what motivates you in your consciousness during a spontaneous day.
I hope you have a pleasant time, keeping in mind the idea that the artist is the embodiment of "consciousness," deeply feeling all the pain of life and returning the surreal universes they create to art lovers through a work of art.

Rio Grande 5345, 5400, and 5406 were assigned to a manned helper set, shoving hard on UP's Denver, Colorado - Roper, Utah manifest freight in Price Canyon through the Kyune Tunnels on Aug. 21, 1999.
Help to raise awareness about taking care of our home - our planet! Happy Earth Day. (while we still have one!)

Previously unpublished shot of a juxtaposition that caught my attention - captured in January 2018.
The current 'cost of living crisis' is just the tip of the iceberg of coming problems for our society. Ukraine is basically the breadbasket of Europe and together with grain from the invading nation, Russia, we will be seeing massive shortages of staple crops and increasing food prices for all. Millions will be choosing between food and shelter or warmth. The top six energy companies in the UK made £1bn in profits last year and yet energy prices are going through the roof - my own energy bill has risen by 124% and I already strictly keep my energy use down for the sake of our planet!
There is enough wealth in this world to end poverty on this scale. When should a humane society consider that food, water, shelter and warmth are basic human necessities that everyone ought to be entitled to? Instead of taxing wealth, however, we take from the ordinary folks and the poorest suffer. I'm not expressing my politics here and you can draw no conclusions from my thoughts on that, but I am expressing my basic humanity. We are one species sharing one tiny planet in the vastness of space. Why do we not care more about our fellow humankind? When do we consider that we actually need to help each other?
Stay safe my Flickr friends.
On the soggy marathon drive home from Salt Lake City, I caught the rear-end of a M-HELLAU (Helena-Laurel freight, which runs as needed) as it worked its way up Bozeman Pass at Trail Creek Rd. The Helper set on the rear included the SDP40, so a brief detour to shoot them at the west portal of the Bozeman tunnel.

Here's a wee Ai tale to warm up a grey Scottish day:
"Vital Spark and the Rainy-Day Rescue"
It was a dreich old morning in Inveraray. The sky hung low like a damp woolly jumper, and rain pattered down the harbour stones in gentle rhythm. But out in the bay, bobbing proudly among the mist, sat the little Clyde puffer Vital Spark, her smokestack puffing cheerfully despite the gloom.
Aboard her was Captain Para Handy, tugging his cap down low. “Och, it’s the sort o’ day that would make even a seagull stay in bed,” he muttered, staring out at the grey Loch Fyne.
Just then, a wee puffin fluttered by in a fluster. “Help!” it cried. “The Argyll picnic has washed out! The children are sad and soggy, and they’ve nowhere warm to go!”
Para Handy’s eyes lit up. “Vital Spark’s no just for hauling coal and tatties—we’ll throw a party onboard!”
And so, the puffer chugged to shore, sounding her hooter with a proud toot-toot!. Children in dripping wellies came clambering aboard, their laughter quickly outshining the raindrops.
Dougie the engineer rustled up hot mugs of cocoa. The deck was strung with bunting fashioned from old tea towels. Even the rain seemed to soften, as if it wanted to listen in.
They sang shanties, danced little jigs, and Para Handy told tales of sea monsters and starfish with Scottish accents. The Vital Spark, once just a working boat, sparkled like her name.
By the time the clouds cleared and the hills turned gold under the evening sun, the children declared it the best picnic they’d ever had.
And from that day on, everyone in Inveraray agreed: on a dreich day, the Vital Spark could still brighten the world.
A three unit helper composed of a pair of SD70ACEs bracketing an SD40-2 are at Muir, MP 127.1 on Montana Rail Link's 2nd Sub mainline and the west end of an 8685 ft passing siding. The three units are have just cut off the rear of a westbound manifest that has made the climb to the top of 5702 ft Bozeman Pass and is already in the 3652 ft summit tunnel just out of sight to the left. The helpers are starting back light headed east downhill to Livingston where a loaded coal train is awaiting their assistance for another run up the grades of the old Main Street of the Northwest.

CSX B24809 is on the rear of Q35309 as it passes the S-curves near Salisbury Junction. At this point, the 8554's shoving work is over as the railroad is all downhill from here west to Connellsville. The early 2010s saw classic old EMD power such as SD50s displaced from their long-time helper assignments in favor of newer power. This trip in 2010 was the first and last time I ever shot an SD50 in helper service out here.
A Utah Railway coal empty is pictured climbing into the Gilluly, Utah horseshoe the morning of Aug. 30, 1998. Minutes out of Provo, the road power experienced a locomotive failure. Two locomotives were dispatched from Martin to rescue the stalled train, waiting at Castilla. A point helper on a Utah Railway coal train is rare in the extreme. I was super lucky to catch it.

Montana Rail Link helpers cut out of a westbound BNSF freight at Elliston, Montana, on September 17, 2012. A member of the helper crew lines the switch back for the main as the helpers get in the clear, and he will direct the front half of the train back together with the rear portion.
Taken months ago before pandemic. All photos will be from my archives. I want this pandemic to end sooner than later so just doing my part and staying home. I may need a diet when this is over. Like the heron, going thru my snacks--ha, ha!

I write this with a heavy heart. The last couple of years have found me with a progressively debilitating spinal column and joint problems. If it were just me, I would never ask, but I have 2 young daughters that look to me for support, so I have to swallow my pride...
If you are in a position to help, I have setup an account to accept donations, even as little as the price of a coffee. Anything would be greatly appreciated. See my "About" page on Flickr for the link. Thank you.
