Hallo everyone,Happy New Year!
"What are you talking about now?"
Yes,sorry for the late greetings and replies!
NS 20R was the first train to travel over the Port Reading Secondary after a snow and ice storm the previous day, and it cleared snow from grade crossings along the way. An uncommon (on this part of the NS system) pair of SD40Es lead the train. 6327 has a Helperlink box on the front pilot, and these units were most likely assigned to the Altoona/Cresson helper pool.

...yer all gonna die, bloody landlubbers!
After the alcoholic discussion with the undead zombie captain, the Admonisher realised that sometimes you need to help people dying.
Oh, and happy Totensonntag if you're living in Germany - protestant christians have their Sunday of the dead today.

These are kittens I fostered in 2004 for HART. An urgent plea for help from HART follows. If you live in Northern Virginia you might be able to help. If you do not live in Northern Virginia and would like to help you can look for a local rescue group working with the animals displaced by Katrina:
========================================================================
In response to the tragic events caused by Hurricane Katrina, a team of HART volunteers will travel to the affected area this Friday to bring back displaced pets. It is our hope to provide temporary safe haven and eventually reunite these unfortunate animals with their families or, where necessary, find them new homes. To that end, HART has an immediate and urgent need for:
- foster homes for cats and dogs;
- crates to use in transporting animals; and
- medical and other pet supplies.
Each of you can make a huge difference in the lives of these pets and their families, the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Here's how . . .
- FOSTER a cat or dog for a couple of months!
We desperately need more fosters to accommodate the additional cats and dogs we will bring back from the stricken areas. Whether you foster an existing HART pet to make room for Katrina's victims, or whether you take in a displaced animal, you allow HART to make a difference! You alone determine how many animals we can help this weekend! If you can foster, please send an e-mail to hartsince1990@yahoo.com . While in foster, HART will provide funds for all medical expenses. (Special thanks to the fosters who have already come forward! You are already making a difference!)
- Donate transport crates. If you do not have a used crate you can spare, consider purchasing a new one. We need these crates by the end of the day, this Thursday, September 15, for our transport on Friday. Think about it, one life at a time, you can make a difference just by providing HART with one crate.
- Donate medical and other pet supplies. Please donate canned and dry pet food, leashes, collars, towels, comforters, and other supplies. Especially, ask your vet to donate any kind of medical supplies that might be helpful in this type situation, such as flea/tick treatment, bandages, antibiotics, etc..
Please help. We must have these items to succeed with our Friday transport!
And, if you can't foster or drop off supplies, we still really, really need your financial support! With extra funds we can secure additional boarding at local vets and help more victims of Katrina. Visit www.HART90.org to donate.
There are so many ways to help. Whatever you do, do something!

Grazie ad una segnalazione di Eric, mi sono reso conto del fatto che tale foto è stata considerata "inadeguata" .
Vi prego, giudicate voi stessi quanto possa essere bacata la mentalità perversa di chi ha potuto giudicare la foto come "inadeguata".
Grazie :)
A BNSF helper set consisting of a former Burlington Northern SD60M and SD40-2 has just finished shoving a loaded coal train from Denver to Palmer Lake, CO on the Joint Line. The very clean duo is about to cut away from the train before reversing back north to Denver.

The Hagans hill helpers run light past the tower at Baxter. A fresh crew will get on board at Loyall to shove a waiting T722 south.
This fellow can often be found, sitting quietly, hour after hour, on Broadway between 79th and 80th Street.

***************************
This is the continuation of a photo-project that I began in the summer of 2008: a random collection of "interesting" people in a broad stretch of the Upper West Side of Manhattan -- between 72nd Street and 104th Street, especially along Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue.
As I indicated when I started this project in 2008, I don't like to intrude on people's privacy, so I normally use a telephoto lens in order to photograph them while they're still 50-100 feet away from me; but that means I have to continue focusing my attention on the people and activities half a block away, rather than on what's right in front of me.
I've also learned that, in many cases, the opportunities for an interesting picture are very fleeting -- literally a matter of a couple of seconds, before the person(s) in question move on, turn away, or stop doing whatever was interesting. So I've learned to keep the camera switched on (which contradicts my traditional urge to conserve battery power), and not worry so much about zooming in for a perfectly-framed picture ... after all, once the digital image is uploaded to my computer, it's pretty trivial to crop out the parts unrelated to the main subject.
Thus far, I've generally avoided photographing bums, drunks, crazies, and homeless people. There are a few of them around, and they would certainly create some dramatic pictures; but they generally don't want to be photographed, and I don't want to feel like I'm taking advantage of them. I'm still looking for opportunities to take some "sympathetic" pictures of such people, which might inspire others to reach out and help them. We'll see how it goes ...
The only other thing I've noticed, thus far, is that while there are lots of interesting people to photograph, there are far, far, far more people who are not so interesting. They're probably fine people, and they might even be more interesting than the ones I've photographed ... but there was just nothing memorable about them.

After helping a coal train to Soldier Summit, six Rio Grande ‘Tunnel Motors’ depart east for Helper, Utah on Sept. 22, 2000. A UP C40-8 was parked in the yard, assigned to work train duties.
Madden Falls is a very cool place to visit. I had two little helpers here who enjoyed seeing mother nature. They also gave this picture a great scene of scale. visit www.digitaladventures.com.au for more images from this magic location.
A pair of Rio Grande SD40T-2s glide through CP Lynn, Utah in Price Canyon the morning of Aug. 11, 1996. The light helper engines, symbol 4HPHLP 11, are returning east to Helper Yard after shoving a manifest freight west to Colton.
menacing sky
ok so the whole menacing thing was a theme i thought up in order to upload a gallery all at once to my posterous, been working very hard on my overall web presence and haven't had the time to devote to flickr-ing, but exploring all the possible ways i can do this and *all that* (it's a lot, believe me). posterous will help, and thanks to Claude for the awesome idea of direct posting :)
what i do for a living is pretty intense right now, but that's actually a good thing. miss seeing all your photos and looking forward to being done with current intense project in order to have hours available in days :)
Its been raining since X-mas day so this shot was taken this morning under light rain.
I know ill pay it some day but i couldnt help it ;-)
Have a great weekend and a wonderful happy new year!
Whilst i was taking this shot there were creepy groaning noises from the corridor at the top of the stairs which helped the mood no end.I went up ready to see what was making the noise when a rush of wind coursed through the corridor and I realised it was just the breeze groaning through the grates over the windows.
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, stay safe, and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
I shared a shot of the three at work a couple of days ago. This was the return trip, as they drift down Steelton Hill and back to Pokegema to wait for their next trip up the hill.
This takes the cake as my favorite weapon included with the Rocket Commando. It also helps that this is my favorite gun in the Brickarms arsenal. I've managed
to get 3 of these beauties including this one. Enough gloating! The gun is a work
of art. Due to it being a blend of many rayguns from a variety of sources, this gun fits with many minifigs and scenes. The one detail that completes the utter
awesomeness that is this gun is the trigger in the trigger guard. This is, from
my knowledge, the first gun to have this, and I hope this isn't the last. It looks
amazing, and makes the raygun feel finalized.
Help me! I don't wanna live in an upside down world!! I'm cuter right side up! 🐥
Behind the scenes... Mac the chicken climbed onto my keyboard while I was fixing up a house reflected in a lake pic in Lightroom and thought I was going to put him in upside down too! ;-)
I just moved into a new apartment. Not the one pictured, but one with a lot of white walls, and a policy that doesn't allow pets! How am I suppose to fulfill my destiny of being a crazy cat man?
Lately I have been feeling trapped, or restricted by the walls I put up. When I feel this way I have to remind myself that I can change the way I think. I can be hopeful, and determined. Rather than pitiful, and gloomy, which leads to stress eating chocolate bars! I've learned that whatever it is I may be struggling with, to not be afraid to call for help.
A three unit set of Rio Grande tunnel motors have been added to the point of the MNYRO as they climb Soldier Summit. The lead unit before adding of the helpers was Rio Grande GP60 3154. Interestingly enough a little bit early this same day I was able to photograph UP 3154 passing Rio Grande 3154 at Helper.
