Looks like CSX U36B #5797 (former SCL 1847) never quite made a complete transition to the Blue & Gray.
Seen here working ex-L&N Siebert yard at Mobile, AL on 13 February 1993 with GE MATE #5204 (former SCL 3204).
The 5797 later went to TTI.
This plant is at least 5 feet high. I don't think I've ever seen Queen Anne's Lace grow this tall, so I wonder if it could be Giant Hogweed or Cow Parsnips....either one should not be touched!
Prairie blazing star (Liatris pycnostachya) blooms in profusion in a high quality longleaf pine savanna in Newton County, Texas.
This is another image taken on private land in the Pineywoods of east Texas. In stark contrast with the imperiled forest I posted yesterday, these woods are protected through legal agreements with nonprofit conservation partners and are managed to maintain exceptionally high quality habitat. I use the term “woods” lightly for this longleaf pine savanna, as, despite the trees, places like this are more prairie than forest. This site is rich in prairie genera like Schizachyrium, Andropogon, Eryngium, Silphium, and so on. This savanna received a growing season burn this year, which is typical of the fire regime under which the community evolved, and contrary to the cool season burns that primarily occur today due to a variety of non-ecological reasons. The results were spectacular, and Liatris pycnostachya in particular seemed to respond.

I made a trip out to the "ranch" to see if our two favorite horses were still in residence. Happily they were still there plus Red Pony's mother. All the snow in the background is now gone. I made the trip to Omaha yesterday morning and had to back detour thirty miles as the normal bridge crossing the Red River was completely under water, the rail on the sides was not even visisble. I will be here in Omaha for the rest of the week.
CSX (SBD) GP40 6773 (reportedly built as SCL 1619) is parked at the company shops backlot in Waycross, GA. If only the Seaboard logo was on that yellow nose.
This unit allegedly went to Point Comfort and Northern, then New Orleans Public Belt, now works for Nebraska Central, proving they don't make them like they used to.

Most of my fellow foamer friends think this thing is hideous and won't shoot a train if it's on it. I'm in the other camp and think its kind of awesome with its mis match of eras. What camp are you in?
While waiting around for some window trains to pass I grabbed this clean roster shot of PW 4001 a GE B40-8 blt. Jun. 1988 as NYSW 4004. It is the trailing unit on Providence and Worcester freight DAWO (Davisville to Worcester) which runs under the cover of darkness and is the only freight train that normally operates on this stretch of the busy Northeast Corridor. The prior night's southbound WODA crew ran out of time and was unable to make the trip back north, so they tied their train down here just railroad west of the US Route 1 overpass. It was brought to Worcester later in the day by Valley Falls based PR-3 once they are done with their regular customer work.
I wasn't able to wait around for that to happen but did catch a few trains passing them as they sat on Main 4 just west of Malcolm interlocking at MP 169.9 on Amtrak's New Haven Line main.

Although painted to represent a USAAC OA-10 Catalina based in Halesworth, Suffolk in WW2, this is actually an ex Canadian example which served the RCAF as '11005'.
The original 433915 aircraft operated out of Halesworth airfield in the role of air sea rescue during 1945 and on 30th March that year after landing to provide help to of all things another stricken flying boat the aircraft lost use of one engine. With high seas that meant she was stuck just a few miles off the Dutch coast. Whilst bobbing around on the surf on the first night a pair of ME210's strafed the Catalina to such an extent that she was listing and no longer airworthy. Four days later after enduring constant seasickness and regular immersion in freezing sea water the crew were rescued by a launch sent out from Great Yarmouth. A second launch then destroyed and sank the Catalina rather than have her fall into enemy hands.
For the above reasons the preservation society chose to adopt the identity of the sunken sister aircraft. The preserved aircraft is now based at Duxford with Catalina Aircraft Ltd.

That DAMNED clanker shot Bunsen! I had imagined this planet to be peaceful, but it's been suggested that it is anything but...
It's a good thing Bull showed up when he did though.... He's never one to be late.... Otherwise I'd be spaced
LOG OVER.

Small time for a small build.
I realize that this mission is LOOOONG over, but I wanted to pickup where I left off... Don't expect anything from this, but just wanted to add to my SIG's story :)
(Definitely have to work on my cameraship, I'm still quite unhappy with the results)
Don't be afraid to take off your mask and show your true character. Life's best when we're not playing with others!
Here's one for my buddy Cody who enjoys patched locomotives.
CN 332 is seen passing by Powerline Road in Brantford Ontario with CN 2036 leading the way. 2036 is one of the many ex UP C40-8's that CN has purchased in the last few years. Third out in this consist is a NREX switcher for Dofasco in Hamilton.
There was a good handful of these that ran around in CN patch and a couple lead...this would be my only one leading.
Light in its purest form, is truth.
Truth is an elusive servant of what seems right;
a perpetual quest within the mind,
to reach beyond the self.
Perhaps it is the mind's churning
which ignites that wondrous universal balance
that empowers light to cut through the darkness.
What to do when you are having one?
Remember that your identity is that of your own choosing.
Sometimes we bring on the crisis ourselves because we linked our personal identity to temporarily links. Spend some time to explore new interests!
Don't accept the influence of others in forming your new identity.
And last but not least: think positive!
Have a great day everyone and thank you for your views, faves and comments!

This sweet little Elephant calf kept running away from the herd along the Chobe River for a bit of an adventure...mum never far out of sight ❤️
This is a photo of a wall mask made by Karen Schlick that explores the shamanic layers of personal psychology.
On first glance (at least to me!) this looks like 2 female Marsh Harriers.
Fledged juvenile birds of both sexes look identical (like females) they even both have brown eyes. Over time the male's plumage changes and becomes lighter along with his eye colour which changes from brown to yellow.
Although the bird on the left has a lot of brown, there are also dark grey 'fingers' emerging at the wing tips. So this looks to be a young male trying his luck with an adult female - or a 'cross dressing' male (see the link below from Graham in comments).
Juvenile (either sex) in comments below. In my description I even assume it must be a female, but in hindsight there is no way to tell when they are that young. The young birds are 'box fresh' with cream heads and solid brown plumage.
Have also included an adult male and an adult female.

Unspooling my identity
The world has contracted to the terrifying, singular inch directly before me. I can feel the synthetic nanoweave's cold, efficient hum and the binding material pressing against my temple, unwinding me. The aged electronic linen-like threads scratch, and I am consumed by confusion.
My eyes are forcibly locked open, demanding a conscious effort to blink, as I stare into the mechanism. The reflection on the closing shutter reveals my own pupil, dilated wide with sheer terror—a black void. As the pressure finally tightens and locks against my skull, I sense a thread snapping deep within my mind. It’s more than the pod sealing; it’s my disintegration. Everything, my history, my name, my very instincts, is rapidly unspooling, unraveling into the darkness as the machine encloses me.
