LNER B1 61306 'Mayflower' speeds through Heyford on 1Z38, a circular afternoon trip from Oxford Parkway courtesy of Steam Dreams. Well, 'circular' with some reversing and diesel hauled sections. This particular leg was from Hatton Junction to Oxford, with a stop at Banbury. On the right is the Oxford Canal, with follows the railway along the Cherwell Valley in this area.

I appreciate your visits, faves, constructive comments and invites! Thank you!
Hey Grazia! This was the one I was telling you about the other day. Do you think it'll work?
There's some colour correction in this so I can't claim it as one of my usual raw no edit pics. But I'm going to post it anyway.

I was thumbing through the William Price "Western Maryland Steam Album" book with the intent of gaining some day dreaming time, instead I found myself pondering what it would be like to stand on Helmstetters curve when a big 4-8-4 Potomac class came up the grade. Most of my journey through railroad history (and my photo descriptions as a result) tend to lean into a yearn to see railroads in their glory years. This photo then popped into my mind. After being in service for 2 years, I just started shooting the 2102 at Reading and Northern that summer and fall. I did 3 outings to see the thing and enjoyed all of them. The 2102 is big enough to produce power, but not powerful enough to have a seamless run with whatever train you throw at it. The T-1s were built in house by the Reading company using some select parts recycled from other engines. Some call them "rebuilds" because of this. The T-1s were some of the biggest and baddest engines on the Reading minus the light mallets the road rostered. At the end of steam, 5 survived into Reading Rambles excursion service (with one being scrapped for parts during this time period before 1964). Since then they lived on in various states at various places. 2102 runs up the former Reading trackage into the anthracite region and over the former CNJ branch from Haucks to Jim Thorpe in the present day. The run has various grades, bridges, tunnels, and obstacles. North of Tamaqua the trackage starts a hefty climb up to Hometown where it crests downhill to Jim Thorpe. At mile marker 99, at the searchlights installed within the past 10 years, the train's dig into the grade has already begun. You can hear the beating on the rails from lightyears away, it becomes oh so closely sounding but continues to trick the mind. The bellless crossing next to the signals activates. Lights stream around the corner. Then the sounds, A long, a long, "OSJT, Clear signal, 99", a short, a long. The engine, shooting smoke at high velocity out the stack, thunders at the trees and removes their leaves. The approach lit SB signal lights up, rails squeel, the bridge takes on the weight of the engine... you can no longer hear anything... A static takes hold as the exhaust has produced enough sound to pierce your ears. Its loud but silent, the camera clicks away without a detectable sound. Decibels rise, you cannot hear yourself think. You take the camera down and get the friendly wave, they have ear plugs! The shrill passes and then slowly fades. The rail squeals as the clickety clacks fade back in like a studio mix on a 60s hippy song. Marker lights on the rear observation car conclude the show. The crossing lights conclude their flashing, the railfans scurry back to their cars and leave in a hurry, the signal goes back to darkness. Peace has returned to the Schuylkill Valley.
A Rufous Sibia (Heterophasia capistrata) was framed moments before the take off move in a delightful pose. It was taking a short break between the movements in search of food. The wing spans with every minute detail against a smooth backdrop added a special charm to it. Pics was taken from Darjeeling, West Bengal, India.
Arriving for a two hour hike two hours before sunset makes for a fast pace and limited photos. It felt good to be outside again after working so much and being under the weather.

Just as the sun was rising this Snowy Egret made his way through the mud to try and find a better fishing spot. Fort De Soto Park, Pinellas County, Florida.
