a frayed rope, a buoy with sticky tape? Oops.
I have often wondered, these buoys are heavy, what happens when you are in the water, drowning, and they throw one of these at you and you get it on the head?
HEEEELP!
Another photogenic set.
Take care, be safe!
THANK you, M, (*_*)

I've seen a lot of awesome stuff on the MRL, but this takes the cake....
The Laurel to Pasco reported they were having issues east of Lombard and weren't sure they would make Winston Hill. The dispatcher indicated there were no helpers available to run down and no other eastbounds coming and to keep making an effort to get over the hill.
As the Helena Local was finishing their work at Townsend, the dispatcher gave them the news they would be holding at Townsend for a westbound and would follow them up the hill. This gave me enough time to go to the Townsend campground to set up my tent.
Sure enough, as the Laurel to Pasco made an attempt at the hill, they slowed to a crawl and eventually required the MRL 355 and 109 approach and start to shove. Even with the extra power, the train still struggled up the hill. Eventually a "thank you" over the radio acknowledged they made it and were ready to descend into Helena... but not until the dispatcher talked the MRL 355 into the siding behind the Pasco train to meet an empty.
On a side note, the searchlights are being replaced between Logan and Helena Most of the work is done, and it is moving fast. Just a sign of the times, and soon these trains will be BNSF... sigh.

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Colour re-edit of a shot from July 2017.
The slogan on the bag reads "Every Little Helps" but a well placed crease is hiding the 'E' for a slogan that best matches the position I am in right now.
I'm struggling. Having to pack and downsize means losing things that are precious but not essential. It hurts. I know that I hold on to the memories but the objects related to those memories have been such an important part of my life. Having to do this on an ever decreasing time scale while getting breathless just walking up a flight of stairs still and suffering fatigue from lack of sleep. It's all a bit too much and there is not a lot that helps.
I just needed to share. It helps just a little to let it out. My head is spinning with so much to do.
I wish you all a very wonderful weekend of photography my dear Flickr friends.
Take care and take photos.
Helpers in a rare appearance at the rear of a train.
The first SD45 that began MRL's fleet of these Loco types.
351 came to the railroad in a group of eight former Burlington Northern 45's from Helm Leasing in 1989. The only one rebuilt in and designated as an SD45M in 1991.
The ACe's sent the majority of their kind to the deadline after 2005.

Tree mushroom in Toronto
Mushrooms are actually the fruiting body of a fungus and late-warning signs that a tree is unwell. By the time there is a mushroom on the bark of the tree, the fungus has already built a network inside and is in the process of consuming the tree from within. Who is asking for help?
Dear little Primrose was helping me pick up the last of the windfalls yesterday.
It has been such a bumper harvest year for the apple tree that I am delighted to get all the help I can!
In 1999 I made a trip from my house in Colorado Springs to Helper, UT one of many trips I made, since the UP merger,
to the last bastion of Rio Grande power. Seen here is the Helper diesel facility filled with Rio Grande tunnel motors. Rio Grande 5405 leads a six-unit set headed to help a coal train to Soldier Summit.
Could this be the Red-thighed Epeolus - Colletes marginatus form (Epeolus cruciger 'marginatus')? It was seen on 2nd July in a sandy heathland area with no heather in Woodbridge, Suffolk. Any ID help gratefully received.
The helpers from East Bernstadt roll north to meet S539 at Perth, where they will hook onto the rear of the train to shove over Crooked Hill.
"Thriller" by Michael Jackson <3 ...
"Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'awl's neighborhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller"

Racing up to Scotland with another supply train for Tesco Supermarkets is the 06.16 Daventry - Mossend Euroterminal (4S43), in the hands of DRS Sheds, 66431 and 66429. The train is making good headway as it passes Rugeley Trent Valley running some 20 minutes early.
A Rugeley early-morning classic I've been after for a while so I decided to set the alarm and chance the sun. Helpfully it played ball for one of the more photogenic freight trains of the day, even if it is Shed hauled.
The coal-fired Rugeley Power Station, even in its dormant state, still dominates the scene.

Experimental ! never used the video on my D7000, don't know much about it either, worth a try ;-)). Great old track from the Beatles
I could hear the crackle of fire around the hedgerow. I could smell the smoke, I didn't like it. I coughed. My first day out of trainin was off to a bad start. We passed the hedgerow and I saw the tank. It was an American tank, looked like a medium. I don't know though, I'm not familiar with their tanks. We walked from one side to the back, inspecting the damage. The engine exploded. Then I heard a cough and a groan from the other side. I was caught off guard, I jumped a little. I gripped my rifle and peeked around the tank. It was an American tanker, probably 18, on the ground propped against the tank. He didn't look so good, his arm was covered in blood. Then he turned and looked at me and my comrad. He had a big gash on his forehead, brain exposed. I could tell that he was in pain, the look of despair in his eyes - it just got to me. I almost cried. He moved his other arm slowely. He made a motion as he wanted me to go over to him. I slowely walked to him, he whispered, "Come closer." I put my head next to his, he raises his arm, turns my head so my ear was next to his mouth. I felt the blood hit my face when he whispered. His breathing was very heavy. He said, in a faint whimper, "We may be enemies, but please, help me out."
I shook my head, "What do you need?", in my best English. He calmly said, "Kill me."
A free moment now that the preparation of the school lunch is under control. The ladies help provide a healthy meal for the students of the Higher Primary School in Krishnarajpet, Karnataka.
Approaching dusk, the Laurel-Bozeman is tackling the pass with help from a helper set on the point of the decently-sized train.

Doug Harrop Photography • November 1972
"MEMORIES. Even though it is a cold and stormy day in November, 1972, Bealville, on Tehachapi, is still a good place to be. A quartet of AT&SF RSD-15's, two of them badly ailing, have managed to drag their train into this mountain town and have called for the aid of a helper that was in the siding at Cliff. The four EMD's are coupling into the train here and soon the eight units will once again have tonnage in motion." - Doug Harrop
