A rare sight lately. CP5717 CP5988 CP5968 and CP6025 all in the consist today. The hotshot picked up 19 cars from Castlegar.
These brave men and 4,000 other men and women are currently fighting the Rim Fire; in and around Yosemite National Park. The fire has currently consumed over 300 square miles and is the largest wildfire in California history. I copied the following information from their homepage to give you a little insight of what these men are made of. Bless them all…..

i took this while teaching my hot shots course. it always gives me an excuse to snap peoples feet while in the safety of a mini herd of photographers. there is still a couple a places left of this weekends course and we are offering those places at a 10% discount so contact me if you are interested. this course will take place over 2 consecutive days for the 1st time (usually it takes place on 2 Saturdays witch makes it hard for people coming from further afield).
this will be the last time for a little while i will be in brighton, next stop on the hot shots tour will be 17th and 18th in San Francisco and Hastings some time in november. best watch my lomokev.com for news on those dates and locations.
Train R191 was rounding a curve near Harwood, Maryland on a cloudy October 17, 1990.
The former Seaboard System B36-7 5845 was joined by SBD U36B 5728, and Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac GP35 134 on the former B&O between Baltimore and Washington, DC.
Here is a video of the train switching in the wye, delivering a new yard engine and picking up the freight from the day before. This hotshot was delayed from the prior afternoon due to a slide on the line between Castlegar and Trail.
CP train 401 used to make its early morning appearance in the Sudbury area every Tuesday-Saturday back in the early 90's. It was THE hot train out of Toronto bound for Vancouver. A brace of SD40-2's was the usual power and on Tuesday May 5, 1992 I shot it screaming along near Geneva Lake west of Cartier with 5699, 5793 and 5505 leading just 28 cars of COFC/TOFC.
A colorful Q027 brightens up a dreary winter day a bit as they zip through the first spot in Florida on the old Atlantic Coast Line main.
NS 204 approaching Arch Street crossing in Spartanburg, SC on its way north on the Southern Main. NS 4000 is barely visible as the third unit in the consist. Dec. 24, 2019.
It seemed like an odd day to head out to photograph a train given what had happened only about three hours earlier, but photography has become a release for me from other stresses and I needed that today more than just about any other day. So, before I headed to Clemson to talk with my oldest son about the day's events, I took a few minutes and caught NS 203 highballing by a waiting NS 118 at Magnolia in Spartanburg, SC with a nice sunrise sky in the background. I guess the photo will always mean something special to me because of the day on which it was taken. And because I remember a morning many, many years ago that mom and dad took a young 5 year old to the nearby Krispy Kreme and then to that same depot at 3:00 a.m. (yes) to see a special train come through.. Feb. 23, 2020.

I just didn't shoot 912 very often after summer 1982 as it became an evening eastbound in our area. In the summer something could be done with it but in the remainder of the year it was dark or nearly dark when it arrived. The big goal was to have it into Soo Yard to grab the COFC and make it over to the CP in time to catch the after midnight departure of there 912 for St. Luc. This was shot on August 9, 1984 as 768 and 772 roll to a stop for the diamond at Trout Lake with 57 cars. After the cursory stop for the Ex DSS&A crossing it will be run 8 as they quickly accelerate back to 40mph for the last lap into Sault Ste. Marie. Kind of a different look with a little manifest up front including a few empty AC chip cars.
Crosley era un fabricante de electrodomésticos que pensaba que la gente no necesitaba coches tan grandes. Este fue su segundo y último intento por convencer a sus compatriotas que grande no era mejor.
Este motor encontró éxito en deportivos de poca difusión en Europa, sobre todo OSCA, por ser uno de los pocos 4 cilindros con árbol de levas en culata y ser muy ligero.

Bill is a kind and considerate gentleman who collects a wide variety of classic cars with an emphasis on microcars. He is also an avid collector of historic bicycles and in his younger years, a devoted rider of high wheelers, those that were called "penny farthing" back in the day, Bill invited Grant and me to photograph some of his collection on the afternoon of June 28, 2016.
