The Ramsey turn is westbound at Benny in May 1988. CP ran this job out of Cartier to collect logs/pulp as far west as Ramsey at the time. Usually a pair of SD40's were what I'd normally see on it but two big MLW's the 4721 and 4505 smoke it up on this day. Normally this job was out of Cartier in the morning which generally made for backlit shooting but on this day he was set back due to a steel gang working west of Benny. This was the fourth and last westbound I shot in about an hour in this general vicinity as they had backed up waiting for the work block to get over. The first three jobs were hot freights led by big SD's so they saved the best for last and the hogger really has the BIGS screaming as the head west hot on the block of the other westbounds. A rescan.
As one job finishes a cut, another job starts a new cut out. Three unit sets of second generation EMD's are used by CN to power heavy cuts of general merchandise cars to be humped and sorted at the old EJ&E Kirk yard. The sets today include SD40Q rebuilds, SD40-3 rebuilds, GTW 5936, the last SD40-2 in blue paint, and, appropriately, EJ&E SD38-2's.

The high-seniority crew of the Camden Job works Alliance Steel on the Camden Branch. This humble branch once served as the SOO's connection to Union Station, the Milwaukee Road, and other area railroads. When this photo was taken in 2010, the job ran weekdays out of Humbolt, and often ran with SOO power. Nowadays, the branch is switched every third day with rumors circulating about several key customers relocating or closing.

The Southern Railway of British Columbia's "Docks Job" backs slowly along Timberland Road, in the run down neighborhood of Brownsville, BC. The conductor and brakeman are at the rear of the train, riding the caboose, and preparing to protect the numerous crossings the line crosses over. In the foreground is the diamond where CN's Brownsville spur crosses the SRY's spur to the Fraser Surrey Docks, where the bulk of this job's switching is done. The switch between the diamond, and lead locomotive is one of two for the busy Arrow Reload terminal, which transloads centerbeam flats of lumber to trucks for final drayage to port, or destinations in the city.
The 129 is a GP9 which started life as Frisco GP7 #318, before ending up on the CNW and being rebuilt to GP9 standards. From there it joined the roster of the newly founded Montana Rail Link, before finally being transferred to the SRY, at the time a fellow Washington Group corporation to MRL. With the last of the MRL GP9's being taken out of service this past week, it seemed appropriate to showcase one of their surviving siblings still earning its keep.
Conductors from 27E and WOGR hold a job briefing to plan out the moves between trains and swap paperwork.
Digging out this picture tonight reminded that we have many wonderful preserved buses in this country, beautifully restored and looking very smart indeed, a real credit to those who restore them.
In reality however, it was very rare to capture an in-service bus in this condition, other than they were brand new.
I was lucky enough to capture Western National Bristol VR VDV111S obviously freshly out of the paint shop in July 1982 at Taunton Bus Station, before any adverts or destination blinds had been re-fitted.
According to Rob Sly's VR website VDV was still in existance in February this year as a mobile advertising unit for a Gloucestershire engineering company.
After a disappointing afternoon at Kynance Cove there was still a chance that I could save the day with the anticipation of a sunset. Using relevant apps on my phone, I chose my location looking towards Asparagus islands from near the carpark. To cut a long story short, with 30 minutes to go it was going to happen so packed up the gear and homeward bound. As I approached RNAS Culdrose I looked left to see the sky turning Orange and the sun glowing in its glory. So quick decision and Church Cove here I come!
With minutes to spare slipping on the wet rocks I managed to capture a few images. Not the best composition but hey, I got a sunset
Minnesota Commercial's Hennepin Job heads out of the MNNR yard for a day's work. It's unfortunate that this classic and rare Alco is sidelined today, stored out of service.

The CN 1600 Job backs up on to the tracks leading up to many of Hamiltons finest industries, by the Hamilton Port. Seen leading Long Hood Forward is GTW 5849 being operated by Beltpack, meaning there’s a remote control strapped to the conductors waist, and he can control the movement of the train, and the horn and bell etc.
I've missed flickr! I got busy with my job and haven't been keeping up. I hope to check through everyone's streams and upload some of the gazillion photos I've taken since my last set soon.

I have been waiting all year for these birds to show up. My friend told me that they come every year in mid-April when these berries come out and stay until the berries are gone. With the harsh winter, the berries came out two months later than last year. He texted me when he saw one, and I have been hanging out with them ever since.
They have very interesting social behavior. They will sit in pairs and pass the berries back and forth to each other. Apparently, according to Cornell's All about Birds (www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Cedar_Waxwing/lifehistory), this is courtship behavior:
"During courtship, males and females hop towards each other, alternating back and forth and sometimes touching their bills together. Males often pass a small item like a fruit, insect, or flower petal, to the female. After taking the fruit, the female usually hops away and then returns giving back the item to the male. They repeat this a few times until, typically, the female eats the gift."
They also have a very interesting tongue as you can see in one of the shots in my stream. They stick their tongue out to get the barb in the middle of their tongue on the other side of the berry and then pull the berry in whole. They gorge themselves.
Someone has been following this bird. Note the band on its right leg.

Having just crossed the Merchants bridge in the background, a pair of Terminal Railroad GP38-3s head north on the West Belt along the St. Louis side of the Mississippi River. The local is heading out to switch industries along the North Belt which breaks off less than a mile ahead.
The vacant lot beyond the tree line is the south end of the former Rock Island Carrie Ave. yard. While the south end remains undeveloped, the north end has been taken over by a trucking company.
After coming back down the switchback to pick up the second cut of loads, Georgia Northeastern Job 103 makes the climb back up the marble company branch for the shop in Tate. 3-6-23
With just over 4000 tonnes on the draw-bar thirty three year old GM-EMD built "Super Shed" #59002, "Alan J Day"; heads through Great Cheverell leading the mid-morning service from Merehead to Colnbrook on Wednesday the 2nd of October 2019.
The CSS south job heads out of Michigan City with a trio of GP38-2’s and a fairly heavy train for La Porte and points south.
Pipits are very much a birding zealots' genus. All the members of the family are small, brown, streaky, relatively similar birds - the quintessential little brown job. And they all show a lonbg hind-claw, typical of ground dwelling passerines.
Meadow Pipits can sometime be hard to get close to but when the young have recently fledged they gather in large groups that gather along roadside walls and fences on the moors of northern England. A slow approach in a car with the light coming from the passenger side allows you to get good shots.
Sometimes however a back-lighted effect as in this photo works as well. Although there are thousands of these birds on the moors near Allenheads [England’s highest village] now, these will all have moved towards coastal and low lying farm areas by the start of autumn.
