It wasn't a particularly cheap experience but I decided that I couldn't pass the cable car that takes people from the Southern Ridges across to Sentosa Island. It was a remarkable trip!
The intermediate station is in the top of the building that houses a large shopping centre. I believe this is unique anywhere in the world
Amtrak 4 approaches the intermediate semaphore signals at MP 722.1 on the Raton Subdivision. Wagon Mound, an important landmark for those headed towards Santa Fe on the trail of the same name, looms in the distance.
Just another frame of this exceptionally cool rolling meet featuring one of the twenty five relatively new Viewliner II dining cars in the fleet.
Norfolk Southern local H04 with 10 cars bracketed between their pair of GP38-2s is meeting a 12 car Amtrak train 92 (the Silver Star from Miami) behind an ACS64 beneath the intermediate signals at MP 65.2 on the Northeast Corridor.

319 430 still in one of the many old FCC Intermediate Liveries leaves Farringdon and takes the Moorgate Branch to Barbican.
N.B As per the comments below... my fault, this was a Thameslink Livery, not an FCC one!
Another from this gloomy day chase out on the old west end. This is nothing special by any means, but I wanted to document the vintage intermediate searchlight signals remaining in service here as a distinct link to the past.
Berkshire and Eastern Railroad train EDMO (East Deerfield to Mohawk) is westbound crossing VT Route 346 in North Pownal at MP 434.2 on the B&E operated Pan Am Southern Freight Mainline, the one time Boston and Maine Fitchburg Division. The old B&M main is only in the Green Mountain state for a scant six miles as it cuts through the extreme southwest corner near the meeting point of Massachusetts and New York which this train will enter in about 30 seconds when they cross the Hoosic River only 0.2 miles behind me. Rising to 1100 ft beyond is an unnamed snow dusted hill in the southern edge of the Green Mountain National Forest.
This train originated in Ayer as train SAED and will turn into Norfolk Southern train 11R at Mechanicville for continuation down the old Delaware and Hudson to East Binghamton Yard. Berkshire and Eastern is a Genesee and Wyoming owned company which was created to serve as the neutral third party operator of the former Pan Am Southern property as a condition of the sale of Pan Am Railways to CSX in 2022. The train is led by the standard SD60E which is necessary due to it being one of a small fleet of this model equipped with ACSES for operation on the MBTA property east of Westminster.

Intermediate egret
Scientific Name: Ardea intermedia
Description: The plumage of the Intermediate Egret is wholly white. During the breeding season, adults have long filamentous plumes emerging from the scapulars, and dense plumes from the breast. The bare parts vary with the stage of the breeding cycle: during courtship the bill is deep pink to bright red with a yellow tip and green base, the lores are bright green, the eyes red and the legs ruby red; when laying, the bill is dull red, the lores are dull, pale green, and the eye is yellow. By the time of hatching, the bill is dull orange-yellow, the lores are yellow or green-yellow, the eye is yellow and the upper portion of the leg yellow with the lower portion grey-black. During non-breeding season, they lose their plumes, the bill turns orange-yellow, the lores are green-yellow or yellow, the eyes are horn-coloured and the upper portions of the legs vary, with the lower portion black. Juveniles appear like non-breeding adults.
Similar Species: The Intermediate Egret is similar to Australia’s other all-white egrets. The Little Egret is distinguished by its long, black bill. The Great Egret is distinguished by its proportionally longer neck and flat-headed appearance and has a distinct gape that extends well behind the eye. Cattle Egrets are much shorter and dumpier with a stouter bill.
Location: Within Australia, the Intermediate Egret can be found at wetlands throughout the northern third of the continent as well as the eastern third. They are generally absent from Tasmania.
Habitat: Mostly a denizen of the shallows in terrestrial wetlands, the Intermediate Egret prefers freshwater swamps, billabongs, floodplains and wet grasslands with dense aquatic vegetation, and is only occasionally seen in estuarine or intertidal habitats.
Feeding: Aquatic animals, principally fish and frogs, are the main food of the Intermediate Egret. They are usually hunted by standing and waiting, then stabbing at the prey with its dagger-like beak.
Breeding: Intermediate Egrets build a shallow platform of interwoven sticks, placed on a horizontal branch in a tree that is usually standing in water. They generally lay three or four pale-green eggs which are incubated by both sexes. The nestlings are fed by both parents, who regurgitate food, either into the nest or directly into the beak of the young bird.

I like bird photography. It is obvious when bird moves, the picture gets blurry a little bit. I used 500mm lens. It is quite a long lens for the bird photography. My target is to take images as sharp as I can. The longer lens is more challenging with moving subjects. The Nikon D5 has a better autofocus system and can get sharp images like this. I hope this year I take better bird images.
Soon to be taken down, the intermediate block signals days are numbered. The new "Vader signals can be seen in the distance and will soon be in operation.
Here BNSF 6198 leads this SLC coal load south past the intermediate siginal 61.9 on the BNSF Hannibal Sub. just north of Foley, Mo.
Most of the new signals south of this location have already been activated. The line north has been re-blocked in accordance with the new siding "Burns" in Clarksville, Mo.
Wikipedia: The intermediate egret, median egret, smaller egret, or yellow-billed egret (Ardea intermedia) is a medium-sized heron. Some taxonomists put the species in the genus Egretta or Mesophoyx. It is a resident breeder from east Africa across the Indian subcontinent to Southeast Asia and Australia.

From Darwin, Northern Territory. A beautiful secretive snake that emerges on humid nights. Feeds on blind snakes.
Egretta intermedia. Werribee wetlands. Walking back to the car with Nicole from the MCC nature outings, we crossed to the far side of the track and it let us past. Looked a bit dejected, maybe felt the same way about the awful light and cold wind.
BCOL 4625 moves north through Coons near Saginaw, MN back from Aug. 19, 2014. This is train M345 which was running with stacks and sand last summer. The searchlight in the shade here at North Coons has since been replaced as North Coons is now the north end of CTC on the Missabe Sub. and problematic spring switch has been gotten rid of.
CN is currently working to put CTC between North Coons and MP51 on the Missabe Sub., north of here, so the Alborn and Kelsey searchlights along with the intermediates appear to be on short time.

With a flick of its wings, an Intermediate Egret relocates to a fresh patch of water lilies at Fogg Dam, intent on finding its next unsuspecting prey.

Territorial fight is an integral part of wildlife. They defend their own space, food and female. Sounds human?
