"Tugs have been towing aggregate-laden barges out of British Columbia’s Pitt River and on down the Fraser River since the days of wooden scows and steam-powered tugs. Since the earliest days the boats have had to contend with the railway bridge about three miles upstream from the Pitt’s confluence with the Fraser River. Over the generations, skippers have learned a lot about the tides and river currents that challenged the old steam power and continue to challenge the modern diesel-powered tugs. This is not stuff that is taught in maritime training schools. It is knowledge that is learned by making the run with an experienced captain and finally by new captains feeling their way into the job."
Job H-37 crosses the 940 ft long St. Paul Union Pacific Vertical-lift Robert Street Bridge with CP SD30C-ECO #5045 leading. I know we've all shot this bridge a lot but it is unique and I've heard rumors it's about to be replaced.

The Italian Job is a 1969 British comedy caper film, written by Troy Kennedy Martin, produced by Michael Deeley and directed by Peter Collinson. It tells the story of Charlie Croker (Michael Caine), the leader of a cockney criminal gang released from prison with the intention of doing a "big job" in Italy to steal gold bullion from an armoured security truck.
They used Mini cars like this, one red, one white and one blue. This aging car incorporates all the colours but looks a little sad amongst the discarded items on a farm in the beautiful Danby Dale in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. It has though a wonderful view up the dale
CN’s R920 job works Keen Transportation on the east side of Decatur, Illinois with a nice looking set of locomotives.

This cairn is one I have regularly rebuilt on each visit......this time, no need as someone has done a great job on it, even providing a seat. August weather....windy, cool, horizontal drizzle....wonderful...not.

A dreary December day in rural South Carolina passes by as does the Pickens Railroad Belton Job on its way through the farmlands of Anderson County to interchange with the Grenville and Western Railway in Belton.
A single U18B chugs up quite a hump along the haphazardly constructed former Southern Railway branch to Belton.
If there is one job around the house that I do not mind doing it is peeling garlic. After all, I enjoy it with so many different foods. Just garlic and cheese on bread is a good midnight snack for me. We go through astonishingly large amounts of garlic, at least a dozen balls a week. But most of our meals are eaten in these days. Unfortunately, the price of garlic has quadrupled in the last few weeks. What I like in garlic boils down to two things, purple-colored cloves and large, hard, well-formed cloves. Garlic of this type, pictured here, is usually the hottest as well.

With a small train of mostly empties, Job 2 is seen cruising downgrade between the old automatics west of Holeb. A trio of SD40-2Fs, the 9021, 9017 and 9004, have the train well under control, and will arrive in Jackman in about a half hour, about thirteen miles to the east. The Canadian crew will bring the train through US Customs, then tie the train down, and go for the rest, waiting to go out later in the evening on Job 1.
FEC 430 pulls out of the Trujilio & Sons industrial spur in Hialeah, FL on the FEC downtwon job. Customers have dwindled down to almost nothing on the FEC here, with the only regular remaining shippers being Florida Bulk and Trujilio & Sons and a few shippers getting served as needed. The spur to the right still serves Vision Candles, where a tank of wax is spotted every month or so. Several customers have disappeared within the last year or so: Omni Transloading once received reefers and boxcars almost daily just a year ago or so, but now appears to have consolidated all its rail traffic to another warehouse near the airport. Gilda Industries once received hoppers of flour every few weeks but no longer appears to do so. Dependable Warehousing received boxcars a few days a week but hasn't gotten service in a good year. That leaves Trujilio and Florida Bulk as daily shippers and Vision Candles, Isaac Industries, Petro Choice, and the water treatment plant with infrequent switches. Miami, FL
RJ Corman job shoving back into their shop and transload area near Celina, Ohio on their line west out of Lima. The signals harken back to when this was a main line of the Nickel Platte RR between Fostoria, Ohio and Muncie, Indiana.

Job 2 rolls past Mackamp with four Barns and both AC44s.
This is about a mile off Route 15 down an unpaved "road" that eventually turns into a dirt two-track. It wasn't that much rougher than the paved Route 15, which made me really glad I opted for the truck and not the car this trip.
The water level is high in the marshlands as the Monday morning job out of Utopia rolls east towards Barrie on the tracks of the old Meaford Sub, CN's access to Collingwood.
I did not like this shot immediately after I got it, cursing myself for not shooting the reflection...but looking at it now it's perfect for what I was attempting to illustrate.
A questionable patch job is in the lead position of CN L529 with a much more attractive GTW 5849 second as they work the XTL Transport facility in northern Etobicoke. The 4908 here was built originally for the Long Island Railroad and was mainly seen in passenger service throughout its time there. Since then it has been a leaser for both LLPX and more recently GMTX, where it wore the number 2284 until being sold to CN within the past month or so.
Ricky : "Okay Ryan.. These are your sheeps now! You have to take care of them. We all have jobs to do and you have inherited the job of sheep herder!"
Ryan : "... I don't know Ricky... I know nothing about the sheeps.."
Ricky : "That's okay. They are not much trouble. You'll be a good sheep person."
Ryan : "Okay.."
Indy : "What's my job, Ricky??"
Ricky : "You are moving to Idaho on Monday, so you don't have to work here. When you get to Idaho you are going to be a potato farmer!"
Indy : "Ohhh! I like potatoes!!"
Me : "Ricky, according to you, everyone is supposed to have a job.. What's YOUR job??"
Ricky : "You know the guy that tells everyone what to do..? I'm THAT guy!"
Me : "Why am I not surprised.."
We got a new paint job with Line-X and no longer have to worry about hail, scratches, and rust on the paint. We also love how the matte black looks. They really did a terrific job!

Exeter Central's Dispatcher has just seen off GWR's Sprinter unit 150265 working the 9.55pm to Exeter St Davids (2E57) station, about a half a mile down the hill. The unit had arrived into platform 3 a few minutes earlier from Barnstaple, at which time it became an empty stock working (5E57) as it transferred from platform 3 to platform 2.
With the 9.,55pm terminating at St David's the temptation is to think it will then head for the stabling point for a night's rest. Apparently not - it then becomes the 10.31pm to Exmouth (2F51), so once again passing through Central station.
There's still a couple of hours of work left for the Dispatcher too - the last scheduled train on this day is the late evening Waterloo - Exeter St David's, due off at 11.58pm. With luck it will be 'locked doors' around midnight!
