Having led 73961 & 73963 on 1Z10, GBRf no. wait to leave Bristol Temple Meads P5 to take the tour to Pengam Sidings via the Severn Beach Line, Hallen Marsh & the Severn Tunnel. 1Z10 was the first leg of the 4-day "GBRf 2018 - Out of the Ordinary" tour, running from Victoria to Port Talbot Signal 3462, just beyond Bridgend.
Next up was Job 52 working north of Hennepin Avenue with another Alco, former CP RS18 84. Not bad getting shots of two working Alcos (OK, I know this one was built by MLW) in one day outside of the Northeast.
The sun's getting a little better!
This job has been a bit elusive for me lately, Went for a "Get Out Of The House" drive on Sunday, and happened to go North on Elk Run Rd. Started hearing FRED chirps on the scanner, and then saw this trains headlights in the distance. Here the train is slowly making its way to Dunkerton, about to cross Airline Rd in fading juicy light
A new caption from one of my pictures. I hope you like the story.
Eine neue Bildgeschichte aus einem meiner Bilder. Ich hoffe, Euch gefällt die Story.
One of my favourite movies - the original one from the 60's with Michael Caine (my name is Michael Caine) is The Italian Job. Yesterday I had a bit of a crisis - I own a fiat and there are not too many of them here in Australia and the induction hose to the intercooler needed replacing . My mechanic told me I could not drive very much and would have to wait up to 6 weeks for this small tube thing to arrive from Italy. I checked out the rental car places and everything was sold out due to the high number of tourists in Sydney at Christmas/New Year. I was so stressed out thinking that I could not go anywhere during my holidays to meet up with friends and also to take shots(you rate the importance ;)).
So I got on the 'job' and googled like crazy, rang every fiat person in Australia - nobody had the part. Until finally I came across Vincenzo who ran a Fiat/Alfa workshop about 45 minutes away - however he was closing the next day for 10 days and there was a slim possibility that he could do something but told me to get over by 4 (it was now 2.45) and he would see. I put my pedal to the metal and weaved through christmas traffic to arrive at 3.55 yesterday. He took a look and gave me the wonderful news that he could fix it for me. Joy to the World !.
He had some beautiful old vintage fiats and alfa's there - I was so happy just looking at them as he examined my car.
He then said he could give me an alfa overnight as a courtesy car until today for pickup - I said 'Grazie Vincenzo - I am happy to take that Alfa 2000 home with me' . He bent over laughing calling me a crazy girl and then went to get the 'other' alfa for me - whilst he was gone I took a few shots and thought well if I cannot take it home with me in person at least I can take it home with me digitally ;).
Thanks to Cy for demonstrating how cars can be such beautiful subjects in photography - check out the master at work : www.flickr.com/photos/46230766@N02/15097760724/
Hello Everyone!
I just wanted to let you know that I will be taking a break from Flickr. With my new job and constant Doctor appointments, I just really don't have time for it right now. I really haven't had my mind on photography lately either. I will comment when I get a chance.
Take care and enjoy the holidays with your families!
Hugs!
oh, and this is SOOC..... ;-)
NOTHING gets in the way of a job. Not even an innocent maintenance man who happened to have been there on the spot. Collateral damage happens, and the job goes on.

I might be in love with Brickarms and custom weapons now. This is the first 'modern' themed build of mine (aside from all the fantasy and mech stuff).
This male Osprey has dropped off breakfast for it's mate and chicks and will go perch on a nearby tree.

Etta thinks it's her job to flush little critters from leaf & stick litter. Mostly lizards, hopefully not snakes!
I enjoy watching her because it reminds me of a coyote we saw in action in Yellowstone in 2013 :)

An NS yard job, DD03, rests shortly after getting head room at WABIC in Decatur, Illinois while CSX Q593 does some switching in their own yard while the local units sleep off to the side.
I'm studying Alphonse Mucha for one of my art classes... so i'm collecting some of his work. I have to say I'm already a big fan of this guy!! I'm posting these maybe to open some discussion... do you know him, do you like him, what do you think of this piece? anything really... it will help my research!!
The Antoine yard job is switching the west end of the yard and is pulling under the Milwaukee Road overpass on the line towards Iron River and Watersmeet. That's my two day old 10-speed sitting down by the crossing.

A better view of what I wore to work last Saturday.
Probably not the choice considering I was doing my real job inspecting accident damaged vehicles for insurance companies.
It was a good experience it has to be said, Imagine if you can being one of my customers a guy in his late forties with a ford ford with front end damage, You walk into the building up to the bodyshop desk and find me! You introduce yourself and i respond by confirming who you are the model and reg of the car you own followed by OK i will be right with you.
You look not really believing what has just happened.
I had that look twice, Not so much the my being trans but more it was me who was going to inspect the damage.
It got even better at the vehicle with me bending over the engine bay, kneeling down to look at the damage and explaining how we were going to repair the damage or advising that the vehicle was a total loss.
Each customer was very good and after the initial reaction they settled and accepted the situation.The reaction would have been same had i been a genetic woman.
So my first customer facing work experience went brilliantly.
However storm clouds are gathering on the horizon. Don't worry nothing bad as such.
