My daughter used to live in the backyard cottage of people who own this gorgeous German Shepherd, Luca. She is now living somewhere else, but we both still miss dear Luca. Such a magnificent and very sweet dog.
A beautiful hike leads in about 30 minutes from the parish church in the village centre of La Val to the chapel past some beautiful old farmsteads of the valley.

Today seems to be a nice day for photos so I am poised to go out and shoot during my lunch break. Until I do that though, I wanted to post something so my only option was my archives. This is the Wells Falls in Ithaca, NY. I wish I had more time to take the hike that leads you at the bottom of the waterfalls. From there, the view is more impressive. I think, however, that even from that natural terrace sitting at the middle of the falls, the view is decent. The abandoned building is The Van Nattas Pumping station which was built in 1893 on the side of an old flour mill. Originally it provided water for the city of Ithaca for both drinking and fire stations. As the population of the city grew, more pumps were added and the station started to provide electricity too. This may not be the most natural waterfall I have ever seen, its location and the presence of this old mill though, make it quite unique.

AVR 4001 leads a short 9 car train down the ex-B&O on a sunny December day. Built in 1910, the former Experimental Mine of the U.S. Bureau of Mines makes for a nice photo prop along the route. The building is now part of a larger facility for the National Energy Technology Laboratory.
D&RGW #5399 leads an eastbound out of the south portal of Tennessee Pass tunnel, and is about to roll more or less downhill for the next 100 plus miles. Meanwhile, #3101 waits in the hole with a westbound it has dragged up to here, but will also soon roll downhill once thru the tunnel to at least as far as Minturn. From there west, the #3101 will have plenty of rugged terrain to still cover before destinations are reached. This location just south of the tunnel was a really fun, scenic and isolated place to just watch the action go down on the Grande.
Central Midland Railway HLCX 1521 leads three cars West past the bluff East of Labadie which strangely has an odd looking cave dug into it. I'm rather curious of how or why that cave came about, but I'm assuming it might have something to do with the pipeline property behind the cliff. Anyhow, trying to find an open spot along the steep ground leading up to the cliff's edge proved challenging but I was able to cling onto a tree right on the edge here to get enough of a view through all the brush. I'm glad I even got some red leaves in what is otherwise an area of sparse fall colors at best and an otherwise clear view of train and bluff. Who knows, maybe Bigfoot usually sits on the ledge of the cave watching the trains go by on his Missouri vacations.. Labadie, MO

Our hike leads us along Антени (Anteni), which rises powerfully on the left of this image above the dark pine trees. Its broad, lightly rocky flank catches the sunlight filtering through a scattered sky. The drifting clouds add depth to the atmosphere, allowing light and shadow to continuously sweep across the slopes. Further left in the distance, slightly toward the center of the frame, lies Titov Vrv — the highest peak of the Šar Mountains National Park (2,747 m). From afar it appears softer in shape, almost bluish-grey against the horizon, yet its massive presence remains unmistakable. It is remarkable to see it resting so subtly within the landscape, like a quiet giant behind the foreground ridges. In the foreground, the spruce trees create a dark natural frame, while grassy hills roll in layered waves toward the horizon. The open mountain scenery gains extra dynamism from the interplay of clouds and sun: some slopes light up while others fall back into shadow. This constant shift makes the scene vibrant without losing its sense of calm. What makes this place even more special today is that it is not only a hiking destination, but also a place for horse riding. Horse Riding 1May, nestled here in the Sharr Mountains, offers rides of approximately 5 hours toward the Leshnica Waterfall. For those who love horseback riding, it is a unique way to experience this vast landscape — under the same open sky and between the same sweeping mountain ridges. Visitors can also extend the experience by staying overnight. Up here, you still feel that this is not a backdrop, but true wild habitat. Bears, wolves and lynx genuinely live in these mountains — mostly unseen, yet always present in thought. The hike itself is technically straightforward, but the altitude makes itself felt. It is not a heroic expedition, and precisely that simplicity makes it special: to pause, breathe, and look out as the layers of the Šar massif unfold beneath a vivid sky.
A wide view over the Šar Mountains National Park, with Антени (Anteni) rising on the left and Titov Vrv visible in the distance. Under a soft scattered sky, sunlight moves gently across the rolling slopes and forested valleys. The small farm visible on the hillside is Horse Riding 1May, from here, visitors can explore the mountains on horseback, including longer rides, or simply stay overnight and experience the vastness and quiet of this remarkable landscape.
Onze wandeltocht voert ons langs Антени (Anteni), die op deze foto links krachtig oprijst boven de donkere dennen. Zijn brede, licht rotsige flank vangt het zonlicht dat door een scattered sky naar beneden valt. De verspreide wolken geven de lucht diepte en laten licht en schaduw voortdurend over de hellingen schuiven. Meer naar links in de verte, iets richting het midden van het beeld, ligt Titov Vrv — de hoogste top van het Šar Mountains National Park (2.747 m). Door de afstand oogt hij zachter van vorm, bijna blauwgrijs tegen de horizon, maar zijn massieve aanwezigheid blijft onmiskenbaar. Het is bijzonder om hem hier zo subtiel in het landschap te zien liggen, als stille reus achter de voorgrond. Op de voorgrond vormen de sparren een donker kader, terwijl de grashellingen in lagen over elkaar heen golven. Het open berglandschap krijgt extra dynamiek door het spel van wolken en zon: sommige flanken lichten op, andere verdwijnen in schaduw. Die wisseling maakt het beeld levendig zonder zijn rust te verliezen. Wat deze plek tegenwoordig extra bijzonder maakt, is dat je hier niet alleen kunt wandelen, maar ook paardrijden. Horse Riding 1May, genesteld hier in de Sharr Mountains, biedt onder andere een tocht van ongeveer 5 uur richting de Leshnica Waterfall. Voor liefhebbers van paardrijden is het een unieke manier om dit uitgestrekte landschap te beleven — onder dezelfde open hemel, tussen dezelfde bergkammen. En wie wil, kan de ervaring verlengen door te blijven slapen. Hierboven voel je nog altijd dat dit geen decor is, maar leefgebied. Beren, wolven en lynxen leven hier werkelijk, meestal onzichtbaar maar altijd aanwezig in gedachte. De wandeling zelf is technisch eenvoudig, maar de hoogte — laat zich voelen. Geen heroïsche expeditie, maar juist die eenvoud maakt het bijzonder: stilstaan, ademhalen en uitkijken terwijl de lagen van het Šar-massief zich ontvouwen onder een levendige hemel.
OHCR 4218 leads a short train from Brewster south through the small town of Baltic, Ohio, on June 14, 2022. The 4218 was traded to LTEX among other units as part of a deal to receive rebuilt NS GP38-2's. As far as I know, 4218 has sat rusting in the same spot at Larry's for almost three years now.
A repainted EMD SD75I leads BNSF Train G FTDBVA5 27H past the endangered CB&Q searchlights at East Halls on the BNSF St. Joseph Sub. I say "endangered", and don't take that word lightly, replacements are on site for several control points just down the track.
I have to say, these are probably my favorite orange engines on the roster at this point. I enjoy both photographing and running them. Lack of Trip Optimizer is a great start.
Also, I'm did a little watermark revamp and I went full color. I don't have a lot of pictures "stolen", but I get a little more annoyed by it every time. I hate for it to be distracting, in fact, I'd rather not use one at all, but at least the losers have to crop half the sky out.

66591 Leads three more class 66's out of Midland Road depot in Leeds. I was actually here in the hope I would see a Colas class 70 on cement wagons that I saw about half an hour earlier but they never came, I left when it started getting dark.
On October 2, 2022 BNSF leads a westbound Q train that comprised just 6 Boeing 737 fuselages along the Clark Fork River near Trout Creek, MT
Cliffs Erie 4210 leads the last pull of the day through a rock cut just out of Taconite Harbor, MN, working up the steep grade towards Cramer Siding on the evening of August 20, 2008. At Cramer Siding, the 4210 would combine these 12 cars to the other two pulls they made away from Lake Superior on this day. They would eventually tie-down for the day up near the tunnel.
Was a great day 11 years ago today on Cliffs Erie with the F-units working in beautiful weather. Kind of bittersweet as we knew we were probably were seeing the last of the F-Units on the Erie Mining during this cleanup effort.
IC 6251 leads R922 up the grade at Proctor hill in some killer evening light. I was at the A&W in Superior when my friend messaged me that 6251 was leading a train off the docks, I had more food coming but I ran up to the cashier, paid and bolted out. Once I got to the bridge I made it with seconds to spare as I could already hear the EMD rumble.

New Christian Song 2018 "The Incarnate God Leads Mankind Into a New Era"
I
The incarnate God, He brings to an end the age when only Jehovah's back was seen. He also concludes the age of belief when in vagueness God was perceived. The work of the last incarnate God brings man to a more practical age. The work He does brings all mankind to a more pleasant and realistic time. He ends the age of vagueness, He concludes the age when man wished to seek God's face but was unable to back then. He ends man's service to Satan, to a new age man is led. All this is achieved by the work of God in the flesh, instead of God's Spirit alone.
II
He not only ends the age of law and doctrine, He shows man a God who is real, a God who is normal, righteous and holy, who unlocks the management plan, who demonstrates the mysteries, the destination of mankind, who made man and ends the management work, who has been hidden for thousands of years. He ends the age of vagueness, He concludes the age when man wished to seek God's face but was unable to back then. He ends man's service to Satan, to a new age man is led. All this is achieved by the work of God in the flesh. Oh, He ends the age of vagueness, He concludes the age when man wished to seek God's face but was unable to back then. He ends man's service to Satan, to a new age man is led. All this is achieved by the work of God in the flesh. All this is achieved by the work of God in the flesh, instead of God's Spirit alone.

CN 2821 leads a B730 potash train as they cross the 3,920 foot Salmon River trestle at New Denmark, New Brunswick. There's a small little river down there somewhere. It's quite the scene, and it's a spot that I try to shoot at whenever I make it up here. This is a new vantage point for me. The same area that I took my last photo. You can see the mid train DP has just gotten on the trestle, and the rear DP is around the corner on the other side of the tree line.

KCS 6083 leads the Gulfport turn returns from Hattiesburg, MS southbound through Saucier, MS with a short 6 car train for Gulfport.
The Fichtelberg railway (German: Fichtelbergbahn) is a 750 mm (2 ft 5 1⁄2 in) narrow-gauge railway that leads from the
standard-gauge international line at Cranzahl to the ski resort of Oberwiesenthal in the Erzgebirge mountains in eastern Germany. It takes its name from the Fichtel Mountain near Oberwiesenthal.
After the railway from Chemnitz to Chomutov via Annaberg and Vejprty was opened in 1872 (consisting of Chemnitz–Flöha, Flöha–Annaberg, Annaberg–Vejprty and Vejprty–Chomutov sections), plans were made to also connect the former mining town of Oberwiesenthal to the Saxon Railway system. The requirements and qualifications to build a narrow gauge railway from Cranzahl were met by 1884, but it wasn't until April 6, 1896, that construction started. The railway opening took place on July 20, 1897.[1] By the end of that year, 67,756 passengers (and 57 dogs) had already traveled on the new railway.
Passenger count increased in the following years, and tourism played an increasing role in the passenger count. Freight traffic also increased significantly. Until 1906, freight had to be transloaded in Cranzahl; since then transporter wagons made the extra cargo handling unnecessary. The biggest cargo customer – even until the mid-1990s – was the quarry in Hammerunterwiesenthal, requiring around 30 freight cars daily.
After 1990 the railway lost its status as the most important carrier into Oberwiesenthal (which is the highest town in (Germany)), and in 1992 freight service was terminated. After 1994, the Deutsche Bahn became the new owner, and planned to either dismantle the railway, or sell it.[1]
For the 100-year anniversary, the communities along the track, together with the operators of the Pressnitz Valley Railway and the Lößnitzgrund Railway organized a festival week that drew 40,000 visitors. With different rolling stock of narrow gauge railways from all over Germany; a train schedule of extra and regularly scheduled trains meant that there was a train on the track almost every hour. Fun fairs along the track and historic trains ensured the success of the event.[2]
New thinking started after the success of the event, and the district of Annaberg prepared to acquire the railway. On June 1, 1998, the operator BVO Bahn GmbH, since 2007 Saxon Steam Railway Company took over operations from the Deutsche Bahn, and renamed the railway to the catchier Fichtelbergbahn. The new operator aligned operations with the tourism in the surrounding area, and within relative short time achieved country-wide recognition. Especially during the winter months the railway now has similar significance as in its heyday, as winter sports tourists in the towns of Neudorf and Cranzahl can reach the ski areas of Oberwiesenthal with ease and in style.
The railway starts at the standard gauge station Cranzahl at 653 m (2,142.4 ft)[3] of the Vejprty–Annaberg-Buchholz railway. The passenger trains start on the same platform as the standard gauge trains. The former freight yard and its loading ramp for the transporter flatcars is on the northern end of the station. The narrow gauge trains leave the station in a left turn and follow the right side of the Sehma valley through the village of Neudorf.
The first stop is Unterneudorf, followed by Neudorf. The following stop Vierenstrasse is a popular starting point for hiking into the Fichtelberg area. Leaving Vierenstrasse, the track follows a long incline (1:33 or 3.03%)[3] through the densely covered Fichtelberg forest. The next station Kretscham-Rothensehma is used to allow valley-bound trains to pass. The track continues to climb, reaching the watershed of the Pöhlbach river, arriving at the next stop of Niederschlag.
The tracks now lead downward into the Pöhlbach valley, crossing the Bundesstrasse 95, and run along the border with the Czech Republic uphill to the Hammerunterwiesenthal station. Leaving Hammerunterwiesenthal, the valley becomes so narrow that there is only room for the state road and the railroad tracks, steep meadows on the right hand side, and a steep forest to the left on the Czech side of the border.
After the next stop Unterwiesenthal, the track unwinds itself from the narrow valley, and the peaks of Fichtelberg on the right, and Klínovec on the left become visible. After crossing the federal route again, the railway leads over a 110 m (360.9 ft) long and 23 m (75.5 ft) high steel viaduct, and reaches the terminus of Oberwiesenthal at 893 m (2,930 ft).

UP 6780 leads six CP units through the Greves Street curve just west of downtown Milwaukee with a lengthy manifest. The gaggle of CP power includes an SD70ACU, two SD30C-ECOs, an SD60, and a pair of AC44s.
Former EL SDP-45 #6687 leads an interesting set of power for "Flare Friday" as she heads a westbound freight over the Vermilion River. Helping out are two ex-PC units, an SD-40 and a U-25B. Given the nice patch job, definitely the right leader in my book.
CP 4715 leads a bunch of smaller MLW products and an awful looking blue EMD leaser on train 556 at Emmons, NY on August 22, 1992. This would have been one of my best scores of the CP era on the old D&H, but that blue leaser just messes up what is an otherwise awesome set of power.
Direct Rail Services (DRS) 37716 leads 3x RHTT sets (642050 + 642036, 642044 + 642011, 642041 + 642019) past Barway, 6Z37 1135 from York Thrall Europa (Holgate Works) to Stowmarket D.G.L, in preparation for the Autumn RHTT season. These 3x RHTT sets were taken back to York Holgate Works on the 10th, to receive additional wheel maintenance before beginning the 2020 RHTT season.
37418 leads 11 TTA two axle fuel tanks over the viaduct at Ackworth on the line through Pontefract Baghill to Moorthorpe on the morning of March the 7th 2023. These wagons have been in store at Gascoigne Wood since mid November 2022 after being made redundant in their work carrying Aviation fuel from the Grangemouth Refinery. Running as train 6Z42, the 09:45 from Gascoigne Wood to Lydney, the wagons are heading for a new era in Preservation at the Dean Forest Railway.
NSM 650 leads an empty tailings train past probably the most shot location on the Iron Range towards Silver Bay for another load before returning to the tailings pond later in the morning. The overlook looking towards "Railfan Rock" may be a common shot, but I understood why when I visited for the first time. It really is fantastic.

4210 leads a westbound Cliffs Erie train away from Cramer Tunnel on the afternoon of October 16, 2008. The clean up trains of 2008 were almost finished here as they cleared out the remaining ore and even some limestone from the Taconite Harbor dock. Twelve days later the 4210 and friends would arrive Hoyt Lakes for the last time with the last train.
The dreary, late fall weather seems fitting in retrospect for my last CE sighting. On this day, some stubborn leaves cling although their end is near. Same could be said for the A-B-B-B-A set of F9s that hung on for over 7 years even after the LTV plant closed. But all good things come to an end. This shot 10 years and one day ago would be the last time I would shoot the Cliffs Erie and the F units on home rails.
At least the trailing F9 and one of the B-units survive at the LSRM. The leader lives looks great in Indiana on the Vermillion Valley. The Cliffs Erie tracks remain quiet except the far west end that is sometimes used for car storage.
The track leads through the sacred Tōpuni area of the Hooker Valley, which has special significance and values to Ngāi Tahu iwi, towards Aoraki/Mount Cook.
From the first of three swing bridges along the way, enjoy the views over the Mueller Lake and listen for the rumbling of avalanches from the distant Mount Sefton. Try to spot them before they crash into the Mueller Glacier below.
A "home rails" heritage geep (original NKP unit) leads a westbound D&H pool train along the shoreline of Lake Erie, where it has no doubt moved trains it's entire life. Not sure anymore, but I seem to recall the D&H had some short term lease of the B&O GP-40's going on at this time.
BLE 903 leads another tunnel motor and an SD40u into Adolph, MN on March 10, 2018. This U717 pellet load from Utac is just a couple of miles from parking their train in the A Yard at Proctor.
Hard to believe but the 903 has been used out of Proctor for over 12 years now! Most of the shots I have it working are in orange Bessemer paint. In CN paint it still has its Leslie horn from BLE days though.
The path of this growth is through suffering: “Unless you suffer, you do not grow” (LW) “All misery, all exile that one bears willingly for the love of God is agreeable to Him and draws us close to the totality of His nature” (L.II.)27

KCS SD60 #751 leads Oakway SD60 #9065, Burlington Northern SD40-2 #7940 and Union Pacific SD40-2 #3385 on a westbound empty coal train at East Donkey Creek, WY in October of 1992.
They are passing Burlington Northern B30-7 # 5491 which was the power for a Maintenance of Way work train.
