Knowing Daisy, she was probably dreaming of her next meal!

Happy Caturday

I met this beautiful lady in a club. In fact I imed her without even knowing her was amazed from her beautiful avi and I wanted her beautiful face in my stream... and she was to kind to pose for me.

Thank you so very much wonderful lady.

I chose Damien Rice for her and the song Blower's Daughter.

Archived shot always makes me smile.. I think she decided to tick him off for something! Happy Fence Friday!

BTW .... looks best viewed large :o)

Maybe the title is a bit overdramatic, but seriously, knowing what we should focus on at what point in our lives is the tricky bit. Hope you have a great day. HSS!

I'm always amused by the niche stalls you find in markets in Thailand. These complementary ingredients would go into making base sauce for many Burmese dishes.

Knowing 160 was leading this morning’s slightly late Eastbound California Zephyr, I set my alarm for 5:00 and rushed out of the house to snag some shots of the unit both in Nebraska and Iowa. Here, the train rushes towards downtown Omaha with low sun in full effect.

Knowing that the tides were right yesterday we went down to the Worm’s head, on the tip of the Gower peninsula in South Wales.

I’ve walked the worm a few times but hubby and the children never have. I had forgotten just how much of an adventure it is scrambling along the rocks trying to avoid getting ones feet too wet in the rock pools. Then there’s the option of a steep climb up the hill before an even more perilous scramble along some further rocks.

The scramble/walk was fun enough, the scenery stunning but to top the adventure were some seals (5 in total) some were sunbathing on the rocks, whilst 2 were in the sea, this is 1 of those in the sea.

There’ll be a photo or two of the worm to follow in the coming days.

Thanks for stopping

Knowing the impending closure of Rousellot and considering I've only shot BO-1 twice, a friend and I made the trek up toward Peabody to get our shots. A handful of other railfans had the same idea as we watched MEC 507 switch out Rousellot at Allens Lane in Peabody, MA.

Knowing there was an empty Wabush train out, on the morning of day 8 I headed towards Emeril Jct. Along the way I caught a quick glimpse of what looked like a ballast train, shoving back towards Opocopa Siding for a meet with the ore train.

After a short wait at the nearby crossing on the Trans-Labrador Highway, the ballast train came into view with a former CN caboose leading the shove.

For power the train had two units, both built new for the QNS&L.

SD40-3 312 has worked on the same rails since 1973. Originally ordered as SD40-2 250, was one of 43 SD40-2's acquired by the railroad. However with advancements in technology, the SD40-2 fleet was slowly phased out by the 2000's as ore trains grew. A number of units including 312 were rebuilt into SD40-2CLC specs. The CLC system from what I have read, was fairly problematic. By the 2000's, 9 of the CLC rebuilds were sold off along with the remaining SD40-2's and SD40's. 310-316 were eventually sent out for rebuild into SD40-3 specs in the 2010's while 317-322 remained in storage, until they received the same treatment over the last few years. The QNS&L SD40-3's, even heavily modified still have several unique differences. The most noticeable being an enlarged fuel tank. Due to the extreme winters, the air tanks were relocated inside the carbody to keep them from freezing up, while the extra fuel capacity extended the range of the units. High rock lights were required for the many rock cuts the railroad traverses, while a now removed cab mounted bell kept the warning device out of the snow which would otherwise clog it. Despite the many rebuilds, the unit has retained its Canadian marker lights and handrails and like most of the QNS&L fleet it has been equipped with LED ditch lights. A keen observer, will also notice the P3 horn, which has been mounted sideways. With the demands of work trains and mixed freight service ever growing, these units stay busy year round. Facing a near constant power shortage, recently QNSL has leased a number of ONR SD40-2's to augment the fleet.

As for the trailing unit, QNSL AC4400CW 418 was delivered new in 2006, as part of the initial batch of AC4400CW's the railroad bought.

After meeting the ore train, the crew would shove back to Emeril Jct, to tie the train down so it could be reloaded. The surfacing work was being done, in preparation for a tie project in September.

Before knowing the weather condition of the Himalayan region we should understand its geography. The Himalayan region covers an area of 2,250 km with an average width of 200 km.

The forest belt of the Himalayan region consists of Oak, Rhododendron, Birch, Pine, Deodar, and Fir. And the monsoon season in this region lasts for mid June till the end of September. The Himalayas influences the meteorological conditions in the Indian subcontinent to the south and in the Central Asian highlands to the north to a great extent. It acts a climatic divider circulating the air and water system to a great extent. Because of its altitude and location it blocks the passage of the cold winds coming from the north to the Indian sub continent thereby making India's climate much more moderate. It also influences the rainfall pattern in India. The combined effect of rainfall, latitude and altitude largely influences the forests belts in the Himalayan region. The rainfall is mostly recorded during the monsoon time of June to September but it decreases as you travel from east to west. The snow-capped ranges of the Himalayas stretch 2, 250 km from the Namcha Barwa to Nanga Parbat on the Indus. The range extends from east to west up to central-Nepal and then takes a southeast to northwest direction.

“Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.”

It’s nice to know what you like to eat. Equally important is “Knowing Where” to eat. Good service, great views and of course the atmosphere make a big difference when you might return or whether you’ll return at all. Thanks for viewing my work and for any comments.

Knowing a local was coming east out of Yuma, I climbed a hillside along the winding route near Kinter. What I didn't know was it was led by a former SP GP60 still in SP paint. An early Christmas present on the Sunset Route. Happy Holidays to all and good shooting in 2022!

Knowing that Bowen is 60 years old and lived on the street for 30 years, I have to admit he has held up pretty well, all things considered.

Let America Be America Again

Langston Hughes

1901 –

1967

Let America be America again.

Let it be the dream it used to be.

Let it be the pioneer on the plain

Seeking a home where he himself is free.

(America never was America to me.)

Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed—

Let it be that great strong land of love

Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme

That any man be crushed by one above.

(It never was America to me.)

O, let my land be a land where Liberty

Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath,

But opportunity is real, and life is free,

Equality is in the air we breathe.

(There’s never been equality for me,

Nor freedom in this “homeland of the free.”)

Say, who are you that mumbles in the dark?

And who are you that draws your veil across the stars?

I am the poor white, fooled and pushed apart,

I am the Negro bearing slavery’s scars.

I am the red man driven from the land,

I am the immigrant clutching the hope I seek—

And finding only the same old stupid plan

Of dog eat dog, of mighty crush the weak.

I am the young man, full of strength and hope,

Tangled in that ancient endless chain

Of profit, power, gain, of grab the land!

Of grab the gold! Of grab the ways of satisfying need!

Of work the men! Of take the pay!

Of owning everything for one’s own greed!

I am the farmer, bondsman to the soil.

I am the worker sold to the machine.

I am the Negro, servant to you all.

I am the people, humble, hungry, mean—

Hungry yet today despite the dream.

Beaten yet today—O, Pioneers!

I am the man who never got ahead,

The poorest worker bartered through the years.

Yet I’m the one who dreamt our basic dream

In the Old World while still a serf of kings,

Who dreamt a dream so strong, so brave, so true,

That even yet its mighty daring sings

In every brick and stone, in every furrow turned

That’s made America the land it has become.

O, I’m the man who sailed those early seas

In search of what I meant to be my home—

For I’m the one who left dark Ireland’s shore,

And Poland’s plain, and England’s grassy lea,

And torn from Black Africa’s strand I came

To build a “homeland of the free.”

The free?

Who said the free? Not me?

Surely not me? The millions on relief today?

The millions shot down when we strike?

The millions who have nothing for our pay?

For all the dreams we’ve dreamed

And all the songs we’ve sung

And all the hopes we’ve held

And all the flags we’ve hung,

The millions who have nothing for our pay—

Except the dream that’s almost dead today.

O, let America be America again—

The land that never has been yet—

And yet must be—the land where every man is free.

The land that’s mine—the poor man’s, Indian’s, Negro’s, ME—

Who made America,

Whose sweat and blood, whose faith and pain,

Whose hand at the foundry, whose plow in the rain,

Must bring back our mighty dream again.

Sure, call me any ugly name you choose—

The steel of freedom does not stain.

From those who live like leeches on the people’s lives,

We must take back our land again,

America!

O, yes,

I say it plain,

America never was America to me,

And yet I swear this oath—

America will be!

Out of the rack and ruin of our gangster death,

The rape and rot of graft, and stealth, and lies,

We, the people, must redeem

The land, the mines, the plants, the rivers.

The mountains and the endless plain—

All, all the stretch of these great green states—

And make America again!

Knowing that A435 had CN 2443 leading the charge this afternoon I was pretty adamant on getting a shot of it.

Work finished up and with all my students out the door at 3:25 I checked atcs to note that they were just arriving at Brantford. I spent the next 20 minutes prepping for tomorrows lessons before heading out the door to get to the tracks.

I wheeled up to Brant Ave in time to see them get their signal at Hardy and 5 minutes later 435 hammered by.

Thanks to B, 50 Mission Cap and Jimmy G for heads up/info

BNSF local job 360 (I’m guessing L-NWE360-23 to use the official terminology) heads south for Centralia, WA as it follows the coastline of the Puget Sound in Steilacoom, WA. On the point is SD60M 1454, the only EMD 60 series variant on BNSF left in the “Heritage 1” paint scheme.

To my surprise, I saw this engine sitting at the south end of the yard in Centralia earlier in the week & was hoping to at least catch a quick yard move with it running having already known of its uniqueness. As it often goes in this hobby, I had no such luck & gave up having set my priority for the rest of this trip on the puget coastline & the Sumas Turn. Out of pure luck on my final day shooting the Seattle Sub, & with the sun setting while I sit at Saltars Point, I could see a short southbound at Chambers Bay. Figuring it was a local, I get myself set up on the pedestrian bridge to get the coastline in the shot, figuring from the best I could tell from my zoom lense that it was a pair of six axles powering it. To my surprise, it was not a pair of GE’s, but me literally saying out loud “Da Fuck?!” as it rounded the curve here & I could make out the Wagon Wheel logo on the nose.

This was definitely the cherry on top for this productive day & also a nice throwback that still occasionally happens. In this era of Facebook heads up, instant communication thanks to the item I’m holding while I type this & even small/mobile radios & scanners, it’s hard not to know if/when a train with a cooler lash up or consist is nearby or planned. In getting a nice surprise in not knowing what’s about to round the corner & it being something better than you were expecting from time-to-time, it’s a nice refresher to the older & better days when you never knew what would be leading the next train. Sadly, with the rosters of the Class 1’s becoming unbelievably homogenous & boring with them basically only wanting GEVO’s or some kind of C6M variant, those days are sadly becoming a thing of the past. 6-23-23

Knowing that snow/rain was coming for the next morning and we might not be able to photograph it at morning light. My husband and I decided to try sunset. Lucky we got a little color in the clouds. The wind was blowing and it was freezing but so beautiful!

Knowing what's behind the door sometimes scares one to death....but you can't help but open it.
