ICE 6445 leads two other ICE SD40-2s and the CP 608 oil loads across the Crystal Diamond on May 12, 2012.
I know Dan and Shawn uploaded their shots just mere hours after taking them so I am a little late, but just wanted to prove that you can not only fit two, but three train goobs lying down on the sidewalk to shoot under the fence here on the Highway 81 bridge. And a nice, new sidewalk it is as this is first train I have shot here even though I grew up about 5 miles west of here.
BNSF 614 leads a oil train east through Brookfield, IL. While the side still said Santa Fe, the front was patched for BNSF, which was a bit of a disappointment. Oh well, stiill better than having the 3rd unit leading!

Italien / Südtirol - Dreiburgenwanderung bei Eppan
Vineyards of Missiano
Weinberge von Missian
This very pleasant hiking tour leads you to three popular castles: Castel d’Appiano, Castel Boymont and Castel Corba
Our starting point is the small village of Missiano in the municipality of Appiano. Having reached the car parking space underneath Castel Corba, we start our hiking tour on an asphalted street. Very soon we can see two of the castles on our tour: first Castel Corba and than Castel Boymont, which lies a little further above in the woods.
Later on, the trail leads us along vineyards and fruit orchards, presenting wonderful views to the valley and the city of Bolzano. Soon afterwards we reach a farm, which we simply cross, staying on the asphalted street. At the beginning of the wood we follow trail no. 12 until the so-called „castle trail“ (in German „Burgenweg“). Having gained height on a small steep track the trail goes on on a series of serpentines until we finally reach the tower „Kreideturm“.
We pass the „Kreideturm“, keep to the left and continue until we reach an asphalted forest street which will finally lead us to Castel d’Appiano. Before the trail gets steeper we decide to stop and drink some water we brought with us in our rucksacks. Continuing our hiking, we soon arrive at our first destination, the Castel d’Appiano. A breathtaking view to the valley and the city of Bolzano is welcoming us here! Having taken some fotos, we decide to explore the inside of the castle. Passing a small bridge we reach the castle’s gate and enter the courtyard. In the castle’s tavern we treat ourselves with some refreshing drinks.
After a short visitation we continue our hiking tour towards Castel Boymont, passing some horses and pigs who are looking at us half asleep. We follow the track steeply downwards to a gorge where we take some steps and cross a little bridge before we walk upwards again to reach the other side where we can once again enjoy the great view to the castle and its chapel. We continue our hike through the wood (trail no. 14), finally arriving at our next destination, Castel Boymont. After a short visitation, we enjoy the warming autumn sunlight.
Starting our way back we take the same trail on which we came to Castel Boymont. After a few metres we turn into the trail that leads us back to Castel Corba.
Please note: This hiking tour is particularly recommendable in spring and autumn and very suitable for families since castles and their courtyards are great playgrounds for children who like adventures.

Eine gemütliche Wanderung, die Sie zu drei bekannten Schlössern führt: Burgruine Boymont, Schloss Hocheppan und Schloss Korb.
Ausgangspunkt unserer Wanderung ist die kleine Ortschaft Missian, eine Fraktion der Gemeinde Eppan. Mit dem Auto erreichen wir den Parkplatz etwas unterhalb von Schloss Korb und machen uns von hier aus auf den Weg und folgen anfangs immer der asfaltierten Straße. Hier können wir bereits zwei der Schlösser der Wanderung entdecken: Schloss Korb und etwas weiter oben im Wald können wir schon Schloss Boymont erspähen.
Der Weg führt uns an Weinbergen und Obstwiesen entlang und wir genießen die herrliche Aussicht auf das Tal und die Stadt Bozen. Bereits nach kurzer Zeit erreichen wir einen Bauernhof, den wir, der asphaltierten Straße folgend, einfach durchqueren. Nun erreichen wir einen Wald und folgen immer dem Weg Nr. 12, bis wir den Burgenweg erreichen. Über einen kleinen Steig gewinnen wir an Höhe und schlängeln uns über Serpentinen hoch. Bald schon haben wir den Kreideturm erreicht.
Wir spazieren am Kreideturm vorbei, halten uns links und erreichen eine asphaltierte Waldstraße, der wir nun Richtung Schloss Hocheppan folgen. Der Weg wird deutlich steiler, doch bald haben wir bereits unser erstes Ziel erreicht: Schloss Hocheppan, mit einem herrlichen Panorama auf das Tal. Über eine Brücke erreichen wir das Tor des Schlosses und treten in den Innenhof ein. In der Burgschenke erwartet uns die Gelegenheit für eine erfrischende Pause.
Nach einer kurzen Besichtigung wandern wir Richtung Schloss Boymont weiter. Wir kommen an Pferden und Schweinen vorbei, die uns etwas schläfrig betrachten. Der Weg führt nun steil abwärts in eine Schlucht. Von dort aus müssen wir über Stiegen und eine kleine Brücke auf der anderen Seite wieder hoch. Hier angekommen genießen wir noch einmal die schöne Aussicht auf das Schloss und seine Kapelle.
Durch den Wald setzen wir unsere Wanderung fort (Nr. 14) und nähern uns somit unserem nächsten Ziel, Boymont. An der Burg angekommen, besichtigen wir auch diese und genießen die wärmenden Sonnenstrahlen des Herbstes. Dann machen wir uns auf den Rückweg. Über den selben Weg, den wir zum Aufstieg zur Burg bewältigt haben, wandern wir ein kurzes Stück zurück bis zur Wegkreuzung, die uns direkt zu Schloss Korb zurückbringt.
Hinweis: Diese Wanderung ist besonders im Frühjahr und Herbst zu empfehlen. Besonders für Kinder sind die mittelalterlichen Burgen und Schlösser immer wieder ein großer Abenteuer- und Spielplatz.

CN 3033 leads the daily '406' westbound freight, as it rounds the bend at Penobquis, New Brunswick, on the approach to 'McCullys', east of Sussex. CN 2814 was working mid train on this 600+ axle train. It was an overcast day, but at least the sun made the effort to try and shine as best it could through the clouds.

ARR 3007 leads a short Glacier Discovery southbound through Beluga Point.
This is a shorter Discovery than what I got used to last year; last year it was running with a dome car at times. Here, it's just a baggage car, a single-level, and the one-off DMU.
It's always a bonus when you get a nice wave from the crew!
New Haven Railroad R-3-a class ALCO 4-8-2 Mountain steam locomotive 3557 leads a block of refrigerator boxcars eastbound along the Shore Line at Guilford, Connecticut, 7-1948. It appears that the majority of the refrigerator cars are of wooden construction with a few steel cars thrown into the consist. These R-3-a class steam locomotive were the most powerful among the Mountain type engines on the railroad and could operate a freight train at close to average passenger train speeds if required. In the distance you can see a block signal bridge and also what appears to be two railfans walking by the track near their parked car. You can see the fireman's arm outside of his cab window.

43046 leads 1B61, 16:02 Nottingham – London St Pancras through Attenborough station. 22nd October 2011. I should mention that although I appear to very close to the Down Line with my back to traffic when taking this photograph I am firmly on the non railway side of the boundary fence at a point where a public foot crossing crosses the line. 43046 was built in 1977 at Crewe works as part of HST set 253023 for Western Region London – Bristol/South Wales services. 253023 was one of five Western Region HST sets transferred to Midland Main Line duties in 1982 and 43046 has been pounding up and down to London St Pancras from the East Midlands and South Yorkshire for the last twenty seven years. It is now operated by East Midlands Trains and has been fitted with a Paxman VP185 engine in lieu of its original Paxman Valenta.
ARR 4326 leads the southbound Denali Star over the Eagle River as a group of kayakers float downstream with the current.
This photo took some work and a lot of blessing from above to get. This was my second consecutive evening standing on this same rock in the river after having the scene clouded out the day prior. It's a little more than a half-mile hike with some steep terrain to negotiate to get here, but it's not so much the hike that's worrisome but rather the fact that you're doing it in the middle of nowhere right through the heart of bear country. Fortunately, I didn't encounter any bear or moose or wolves but I did get to watch a couple of Bald Eagles circling over the appropriately-named Eagle River the first evening. DEET kept the mosquitoes at bay for the most part, and I came away with just two bites. I did have a freak-out moment when a giant, pinky finger-sized hornet took a liking to my face. But after some girl-like flailing, it was swatted into the river and I didn't see it again.
Even though I got skunked on the first try, I did get to validate the spot I chose since I wasn't sure if I'd be able to see the MAC's trucks or not. I almost didn't hike in on this evening as the clouds were gathering once again, but I took the chance and it paid off, thankfully. The sky in the backdrop was a nice addition, especially because I've never had much luck with storm light, and also the kayakers were a surprise addition as they just happened to pop into view as the train showed up.

日本語のあらすじ等は下の方にあります😃
“Synopsis”
A Palestinian group from Gaza hacks into North Korea’s cryptocurrency system, stealing hundreds of millions of dollars. Their true goal is not money—but to recreate the lost homeland of Gaza on American soil.
Amid the backdrop of hardline Republican immigration policies and a growing wave of xenophobia, a quiet plan begins to take shape: the gradual collapse of America from within.
During a speech at Madison Square Garden, Republican presidential candidate Justin Bradford is shot. Almost simultaneously in Los Angeles, former president Owen Reed is attacked at a rally for Democratic hopeful Ryan Bennett.
Two assassinations—mirroring one another—ignite a nation’s deepest divide. Yet, against all odds, Justin survives. His blood type is one in 2.5 million: the Bombay Blood Group.
The only person who can donate such blood is Anaya Patel, a community art facilitator working in Brooklyn. Her blood, stored in the Bellevue Hospital Blood Bank, is used for an emergency transfusion that saves the candidate’s life.
Jack Vance, an agent of the U.S. Secret Service, suspects a Gaza-based network behind the attacks. Together with Cameron Bartlett, the FBI Director of the Los Angeles Field Office, and Veronica Reeves, a senior investigator from New York, he begins to uncover a vast conspiracy.
Their investigation leads them to Rafi Gannam, a former architecture student at the Islamic University of Gaza, who has infiltrated redevelopment sites across Los Angeles and New York—embedding C4 explosives deep within beams and structural cores.
His targets: new residential districts where agents of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and ERO (Enforcement and Removal Operations) live—symbols of “the order America built.”
Veronica urges the President to pursue dialogue to prevent further destruction, but President Grant M. Ranford refuses to listen.
Meanwhile, the recovering Justin and his Democratic rival Ryan appear on national television, calling for unity beyond political divisions.
Their words of reason, however, are drowned out when Grant takes the stage in Iowa, defiantly declaring: “We will never bow to terror.”
Among the crowd, Rafi’s operatives have already taken their positions.
As chaos erupts and the stage collapses, Amir Nasser—once Rafi’s comrade, haunted by the memory of his sister’s death in Gaza—tries desperately to halt the chain of destruction.
But Rafi’s conviction remains unshaken.
Under the twilight beneath the Williamsburg Bridge, amid the city’s fading noise, the two men part ways.
It is the boundary between prayer and vengeance, between hope and nothingness.

Recently, director Ridley Scott remarked that streaming films and series have become dull.
I agree.
If you have two hours to spare for such stories, I ask for only two minutes of your time.
Two minutes with my novel will outlast those two hours.
I am confident of that.
Stay tuned.

B♭ (B Flat)
English translation by GPT-5, in collaboration with Mitsushiro Nakagawa
Twilight sank over the harbor town, dimming the air as the rusted girders along the pier turned a burnished red.
The park in Red Hook was nearly empty; the chains of the swings stirred in the wind, clinking faintly.
Children’s laughter drifted from afar, only deepening the stillness that hung over the place.
Amir stood outside the wire fence, gazing at the scene, and something half-forgotten stirred within him.
There had been evenings, too, in the rubble of Gaza.
Out from the ruins of broken houses, his mother would appear—
breathless, dust clinging to her clothes, coming to find him, to hold him close.
He could still recall the scent of her hair, the warmth of her arms.
“Let’s go home,” she had said.
Even if “home” was nothing more than a collapsing shell of stone and dust, her voice alone had led him back.
A mattress laid atop debris.
A room with no walls, only wind.
Yet each time his mother’s hand brushed his forehead, that place became, undeniably, home.
Amir’s gaze returned to the New York children swaying on the swings.
The innocent rhythm between mothers and sons was repeating itself again, bathed in the soft light of dusk.
It was a world untouched by weapons or blood.
“Rafi,” he murmured, barely louder than the wind,
“maybe… we don’t have to go on.”
Rafi didn’t look away.
His eyes were clouded with the sediment of Gaza—blood and dust, the memory of ruin.
His father’s body fallen in shadow.
Walls blackened with fire.
Dreams torn apart.
What filled him was not tenderness, but a cold and merciless anger.
“Don’t forget, Amir,” he said, his voice hard as stone.
“In the same place where your mother held you, our fathers were slaughtered.
Those ruins are not just ruins.”
Amir fell silent.
The river’s surface rippled red in the twilight; across the East River, the towers of Manhattan shimmered faintly, blurred at the edges.
Peace and destruction, memory and hatred—
they mingled together in the same wind.
Behind the wire fence, children’s laughter still rang out.
But to the two men, it sounded only like an echo from another world.
The setting sun sank quietly, staining the bridge’s iron joints red as the heat beneath it trembled in the air.
Rainwater pooled in the cracks of the concrete, reflecting a thin sheet of gold.
A faint steam rose from the damp air, and the salt from the harbor clung to Amir’s nose.
The boarded door of an abandoned factory hung loose,
the wind pushing in old newspapers and leaves, swirling them into tiny spirals.
From afar came the cry of cicadas, and a city bus exhaled a sigh through its brakes.
Beneath the bridge stood Amir, Rafi, and several others scattered in silence.
Some wiped sweat from their brows, eyes lowered to the ground;
others rested hands upon the girders, gazing out toward the distant light.
At intervals, the shadow of a parent waiting for a child passed by,
a white-roofed van gliding through the heat.
Amir rubbed his back, the sweat clinging to his shirt, and sat down in the shadow of the bridge pier.
Rafi stood a short distance away.
Their shadows stretched long, wavering under the harsh westering sun.
No one among their comrades moved; their stillness was a kind of breathless waiting.
“Can’t we stop here?” Amir’s voice wavered into the humid air.
In his mind, he saw again his mother’s hand reaching through a crack in the stone wall—
that small, dirt-stained hand that once touched his cheek.
The desire to return to that warmth still flickered faintly in his chest, like an ember refusing to die.
Rafi clenched his jaw, and spoke through his teeth, his words as brief and cold as a stone cast into the sea.
“Don’t forget, Amir.
If you forget that night, we’ll betray the dead.”
His voice merged with the creak of metal underfoot, irreconcilable with the laughter of children or the cry of cicadas drifting in the distance.
Amir narrowed his eyes, watching the flow of light beyond the railing.
Across the river, windows shimmered in layers—
places where life went on, where dinners were being served,
where children’s laughter and footsteps would echo softly through the gardens.
A deep shadow cut across Rafi’s face.
His fists were clenched, the veins on his hands taut and bright.
“That wish of yours,” he said quietly,
“do you know it might become someone’s gravestone?”
Amir’s gaze fell to a small white rabbit doll at his feet.
It was caked with dust, one eye missing.
Perhaps it belonged to a child who once played beneath this bridge—
or perhaps it had simply wandered here by chance.
Either way, to Amir, that single missing eye seemed like a fleeting glimpse of a world quietly disappearing.
Silence spread between them.
The wind hummed low through the iron beams.
Around them, the world went on moving.
A van door shut.
A parent touched a child’s shoulder.
A bus turned the corner.
Their comrades drew shallow breaths, eyes fixed on the ground or the far horizon.
Without looking back, Amir began walking toward the city beyond the bridge’s shadow.
Behind him came a single breath from Rafi—
a sound that carried the stillness of a corpse.
The summer dusk slowly swallowed the bridge.
The men beneath it remained as faint silhouettes,
poised between the red of sunset and the cold gleam of steel.
Rafi quietly unzipped his bag and drew out a tablet.
His fingers trembled slightly,
but he took a slow breath to steady himself,
and aimed the camera at the mark of “B♭” at the bottom of mellow-echo.net.
A dark screen flickered to life, revealing a deep-layer QR code.
Without hesitation, his finger slid along the words:
“C4-ID: Vanta+Core / Ready.”
That movement sent a faint tremor through the tension of the men beneath the bridge,
blending with the dry scent of rust and the damp summer air.
From the far side of the East River, under another bridge,
sparks began to rise—one, then another—
tiny flashes glowing red in the dark.
The light quivered across the shadows,
and the sound of metal striking metal echoed low.
Rafi’s eyes followed the fading silhouette of Amir’s back.
The others stepped silently away,
drawing a little farther from the bridge.
Moist air clung to Rafi’s skin,
and the mingled red of dusk and chill of steel filled the space around him.
In the hush beneath the bridge,
each flash and creak formed a strange rhythm in his chest.
A cicada cried once in the distance.
The city’s murmur faded to a far-off haze.
Pressed beneath that wave of tension,
the men held their breath,
confirming each other’s presence only through glances and the rhythm of their breathing.
The summer dusk slowly—yet surely—
swallowed the bridge, the city,
and the shadows that remained.

B♭ （ビーフラット） ……. Mitsushiro Nakagawa
“あらすじ”
北朝鮮の仮想通貨システムをハッキングし、数億ドルを奪取したガザ出身のパレスチナ人グループが、アメリカ合衆国へ密かに潜入する。
彼らの目的は、失われた祖国ガザを、アメリカの地に「復元」することだった。
共和党による強硬な移民政策と、国内にくすぶる排外感情を利用し、アメリカ社会を内側から崩壊させる計画が静かに進行していく。
共和党大統領候補ジャスティン・ブラッドフォードがマディソン・スクエア・ガーデンで演説中に狙撃され、ほぼ同時刻、ロサンゼルスでは前大統領オーウェン・リードもまた、民主党候補ライアン・ベネットの集会で撃たれる。
国家を二分する双方向の暗殺。だが、ジャスティンは奇跡的に生還する。
彼の血液型は、世界でわずか250万人に一人といわれる「ボンベイブラッド」。
その希少な血を提供できたのは、ブルックリンで活動するコミュニティアート・ファシリテーター、アナヤ・パテルだった。
彼女の血液はベルビュー病院の血液バンクに保存されており、緊急輸血によって、候補者の命はかろうじて繋がれた。
シークレットサービスのジャック・バンスは、テロの背後にガザ出身の組織が関与していることを察知し、FBIロサンゼルス支局長官キャメロン・バートレット、ニューヨーク支局の特別捜査官ヴェロニカ・リーブスと共に捜査を進める。
やがて彼らは、イスラム大学で建築学を学んだラフィ・ガンナムが、ロサンゼルスやニューヨークの再開発現場に潜入し、梁や構造体の中枢にC4爆薬を仕込んでいた事実に辿り着く。
標的は、ICE（移民・関税執行局）やERO（執行・送還作戦部門）の職員が暮らす新興住宅街——すなわち、「アメリカが築いた秩序」そのものだった。
ヴェロニカは、これ以上の破壊を防ぐため、大統領への対話を進言するが、現職のグラント・ランフォード大統領は耳を貸さない。
一方、命を取り留めたジャスティンと民主党候補ライアンは、テレビを通じて国民に訴えかけ、分断を乗り越えようとする。
だが、その理性の声を嘲笑うかのように、グラントはアイオワ州での演説を強行し、「テロには屈しない」と宣言する。
その会場には、すでにラフィの仲間が率いる工作チームが潜入していた。
崩壊する会場の惨状を前に、仲間の一人アミール・ナッセルは、かつてガザで妹を失った記憶に引き裂かれ、破壊の連鎖を止めようとする。
だが、ラフィの信念は揺るがない。
ウィリアムズバーグ橋の下、夕暮れの喧騒のなか、二人は決別する。
それは、祈りと報復、希望と虚無の境界線だった——。

僕のこの小説は、来年、２０２６年２月末日に公開します。
先日、リドリースコット監督がサブスクの映画やドラマ群がつまらないと話していたようだけど、同感です。
僕も非常に退屈です。
それらに2時間を要するなら、僕の小説を２分間だけ読んで欲しい。
その2分間は、２時間を越えるでしょう。
僕は自信があります。
ぜひ、期待してお待ちください。

English translation by GPT-5, in collaboration with Mitsushiro Nakagawa
夕暮れは港町の空気を沈ませながら、埠頭に錆びついた鉄骨を赤銅色に染めていた。
レッドフックの公園は人影もまばらで、遊具の鎖が風に揺れ、かすかな音を立てていた。子どもたちの笑い声が遠くにひびき、かえって静けさを際立たせているようだった。
アミールは金網の外からその光景を見つめ、胸の奥に忘れかけていた感覚を呼び戻していた。
かつてガザの瓦礫の町にも夕暮れはあった。
破壊された家々のあいだから、母の姿が現れた。息を切らし、砂埃をまといながらも、彼を探して抱きしめに来る母の匂いを、アミールは今も覚えていた。
「家に帰ろう」と母は言った。
家とは呼べないほど崩れかけた場所であっても、その声だけが彼を導いた。瓦礫の上に置かれた布団、壁もない部屋に流れ込む風、それでも母の手が彼の額を撫でるたび、そこは確かに家だった。
アミールの視線は、ブランコに揺れるニューヨークの子どもたちへと戻った。母と子の無邪気な時間が、夕暮れの柔らかな光のなかで繰り返されている。
その光景は、武器や血とは無縁の世界だった。
「ラフィ……俺たちは、もうやめてもいいんじゃないか」
低く呟いた声は、風に溶けるほど弱かった。
ラフィは目を逸らさなかった。その瞳には、ガザの砂塵に埋もれた血の記憶がよどんでいた。
倒れ伏した父の影、焼け焦げた壁、裂けた夢。彼の胸に満ちているのは、優しさではなく、冷たい怒りだった。
「忘れるな、アミール」
声は硬い石のように響いた。
「母の腕に抱かれた記憶と同じ場所で、父たちは殺されたんだ。あの瓦礫はただの瓦礫じゃない」
アミールは唇を閉ざした。
夕暮れの川面が赤く揺らぎ、イーストリバー越しのマンハッタンの高層ビルの影がかすかに滲んでいた。
平和と破壊、記憶と憎しみが、同じ風の中で混じり合っていた。
金網の内では、子どもの笑い声がまだ響いていた。
しかし、ふたりの耳にはそれが遠い世界の残響にしか思えなかった。
///////////////////////////////////
夕陽は鉄の骨の継ぎ目を赤く染めながら、橋の下の熱気に揺れつつ静かに沈み込んだ。
コンクリートの裂け目に溜まった水が、夕陽を映して薄い金色に光っている。湿った空気にわずかな湯気が立ち、港から流れる潮の匂いがアミールの鼻腔に絡んだ。
廃工場の戸板は半ば外れ、風が古い新聞紙や枯れ葉を押し込み、小さな渦をつくっていた。蝉の声が遠くから響き、路線バスのブレーキ音が一度、吐息のように洩れた。
橋の下には、アミールとラフィのほかに、数名の仲間たちが散らばって立っている。肩をすくめ、汗を拭いながら地面に視線を落とす者もいれば、鉄梁に手をかけ、遠くの光景をじっと見つめる者もいた。
時折、子どもを待つ親の影と、白い屋根の送迎車が通り過ぎる。
アミールは汗で張り付いたシャツの背中をさすり、橋げたの影に腰を下ろした。
ラフィは少し離れて立った。影は長く伸び、照りつける西日に揺れていた。仲間たちは微動だにせず、息を殺すようにその場にいる。
「ここでやめられないのか」
アミールの声は、蒸し暑い夕暮れの空気に溶けかけた。脳裏には、母が崩れた石壁の隙間から差し出した小さな手が浮かんでいた。母の手はいつも、汚れた掌で彼の頬を撫でてくれた。そこに帰りたいという欲が、胸の奥でまだ微かに温かく息をしている。
ラフィは奥歯を噛みしめ、舌先だけで言った。簡潔で、海に投げる石のように冷たい。
「忘れるな、アミール。あの夜のことを忘れたら、俺たちは死んだ者たちを裏切る」
その声は、波打つ鉄板の軋みと混じり、遠くの子どもたちの笑い声や蝉の声とは相容れなかった。
アミールは目を細め、橋の欄干越しに流れてゆく光を見た。向こう岸に、きらめく窓が幾重にも並んでいる。そこには暮らしがあり、夕飯の匂いが立ち、子どもたちの笑い声や庭先で遊ぶ足音が、柔らかく響いているはずだ。
ラフィの頬に深い影が刺さり、拳を握りしめている。手の甲の血管が鋭く浮いた。
「お前のその願いが、誰かの墓標になることを、お前は知っているのか」
アミールの視線は、足元に落ちた小さな白いうさぎのぬいぐるみに止まった。埃にまみれ、ひとつの目が欠けていた。
そのぬいぐるみは、橋の下で遊んだ遠い誰かのものかもしれない。あるいは単に迷い込んだだけかもしれない。どちらにせよ、アミールにはその欠けた目が、消えていく日常の一瞥に思えた。
沈黙がふたりを隔てた。風が、橋げたの鉄梁を低く鳴らした。
周囲の世界は動き続ける。送迎車の戸が閉まり、親が子の肩を叩く。バスが一台、角を曲がる。仲間たちは微かに息を整え、視線を地面や遠方に巡らせたままだ。
アミールは振り返らず、橋の影から街のほうへ歩き出した。
後ろでラフィの吐息が一つだけ聞こえた。それは骸のような静けさを残し、夏の夕闇が緩やかに橋を飲み込んでゆく。橋下の仲間たちは、かすかな影のまま残り、夕陽の赤と鉄の冷たさの間に佇んでいた。
ラフィは静かにバッグを開き、タブレットを取り出した。指先に、微かに震えはあったが、心を鎮めるように深く息を吸い、mellow-echo.netの最下部にあるB“♭（フラット）”に、ミュートリーダーのカメラをかざした。暗い画面にディープレイヤーQRコードが浮かび上がると、指先はためらうことなく、“C4-ID:Vanta+Core/Ready.”の文字に沿って滑った。その手の動きは、橋下に残った仲間たちの緊張を微かに揺らし、乾いた鉄の匂いと湿った夏の風に溶けた。
イーストリバーを挟んだ対岸の橋下から、火花が一点、また一点と立ち上り、暗がりに赤く瞬いた。小さな光は、橋下の影を揺らし、鉄梁にぶつかる音が低く響く。ラフィの視線はアミールの背に残る影を追い、仲間たちは無言で後退りし、橋下から少しずつ距離を取った。
湿気を帯びた空気がラフィの肌をまとい、夕陽の赤と鉄の冷たさが入り混じる。橋下の静寂の中、火花の閃光と小さな軋みが、ラフィの胸の奥に奇妙な律動を生んだ。遠くで蝉が一声鳴き、街のざわめきは遙か彼方に霞んでゆく。
その緊張の波に押されるように、橋下の仲間たちは息をひそめ、視線と呼吸だけで互いの存在を確かめあった。
夏の夕闇は、まるで橋を、街を、そして残された影を静かに、しかし確かに飲み込んでいった。

Wisconsin and Southern (WAMX) 3869 leads the day's edition of L599 south around the curve at Butler Road, between Woodland and Rubicon, on a sunny Friday mid-day. The crew has just finished working the Mayville Spur between Iron Ridge and Mayville, and the hogger has the short train up to track speed as they bop along through the countryside. Ahead at Hartford they will change trains with the L249 crew out of North Milwaukee and then proceed to spend most of the rest of the afternoon working the industries in Hartford, to the chagrin of a couple of railfans (including myself) who were hoping for an afternoon run in good light back to Horicon...
It is always nice to see a few of the WSOR brown RBLs still kicking around too. They were once so ubiquitous on the WSOR, the northern division especially and on the Reedsburg sub that I grew up on which once had two active canneries. While there are still a few around the fleet is a small fraction of what it once was...
BNSF 2922 leads the Drayton Local south nearing the yard in Grand Forks, ND.
The 2922 has a storied history. Built as a GP35 in January 1964 for the Texas and Pacific Railroad, it also served on the Missouri Pacific before it eventually ended up with the Burlington Northern as part of the GP39E rebuild program.
Leads 6m58 Tytherington quay - Quainton railhead through Aylesbury station with 66012 dead on the rear ,
These services are due to stop soon due to HS2 having to complete works that will affect the risborough line till the end of October
R707 Leads A66 at Berwick Station as they move into Platform 1 for the R to lead back to Melbourne.
707 Operations Streamliner to Stony Point & Berwick Tour.

4836 leads a short trip train T204 made up of a short rake of new SCT PQSY wagons from Leightonfield through Chester Hill.
CEY002 leads CEY007 & CEY006 while making a smokey exit out of Capertee Tunnel with Centennial / SSR's loaded coal; AR02. Wednesday, 26th October 2016
800003 leads 800004 through Newton Abbot on the 22nd June 2017, returning from a first visit of the class to Cornwall and running as 5X92 12.47 Penzance to North Pole IEP Depot.
CP 2264 leads H41 eastbound on the Beach Branch, passing hoppers H42 placed on the interchange the previous day. CN would eventually take them to be scrapped at Triple M in Hamilton, Ontario.
ATN 9401 leads an extremely backlit Mountain Job through Albertville after the Night Crew lawed out and left the train south of town. 9401 is well known for having 3 or 4 incidents with semi trucks, one of them damaging the unit enough that the truck company covered the repair costs and even got the unit painted.
U25C 6501 leads three other GE 'sixes' towards Cedar Hill on unseasonably warm and hazy spring day .
Since we had "open campus" rules at our High School and we had no classes after lunch , the Lebaron brothers and I met up for some after school train chasing on the Hartford Line.
On this day M-6 and M-7 met right in front of us at Kennedy Road in Windsor CT .We also saw NH-4 later on , and if I'm not mistaken there was a detour of Shore Line Amtrak train 172 as well.
Our little piece of Penn Central was busy that afternoon !! A warm and fuzzy PC memory!

Bristol to Weymouth services were strengthened to increase capacity.This 153 leads twp class 158's for that purpose.
leads a grain extra with 10 extra cars he picked up in Freeport, thanks to Mark Llanuza and Gary Morgan for the updates on this guy!
Tom Boonen leads Fabian Cancellara at the 2010 Ronde van Vlaanderen (Tour of Flanders) on the Muur, just moments before Cancellara would make his race winning move.
New Haven Railroad GE EP-5 motor leads a passenger train in the snow along the electrified main line at a location west of Stamford, Connecticut, 1968, Bob Hughes Photo. The sun is low in this photo with the long shadows being present. The well known triangular catenary is seen in this location. With the present hairpin wire fence in the scene, most likely the train which is operating on an express track is about to pass through a station area because a portion of a platform can be seen to the right that is covered with snow.
20161 leads 20047 approaching Attenborough station with an empty unfitted coal train made up exclusively of 21 ton coal hoppers, 15th June 1981. These empties are almost certainly heading for Gedling colliery. After nationalisation in 1948 British Railways continued to build London and North Eastern Railway design coal hopper wagons with both welded and riveted bodies. Over twenty three thousand were built between 1949 and 1958 to five diagrams 1/141, 1/143, 1/145, 1/146 and 1/149 with the vast majority (nearly seventeen thousand) to diagram 1/146. They finally disappeared in the late 1980’s.
Locomotive History
Following the failure of the class 17 Claytons British Rail returned to its initial Type 1 design and ordered another hundred class 20 locomotives from English Electric. 20161 is one of this later batch of class 20’s built by English Electric at the Vulcan Foundry. It entered traffic in September 1966 and was allocated new to the Nottingham Division (in reality Toton) and was withdrawn from Toton twenty one years later in February 1988 having (as far as I can tell) been a Toton engine all its life. It was broken up by Vic Berry, Leicester in May 1990. 20047 was built by English Electric at the Vulcan Foundry and entered traffic in December 1959 and withdrawn in the early 1990’s. However 20047 was subsequently sold to Direct Rail Services, overhauled in the late 1990’s and renumbered 20301. It is currently (September 2014) stored at Barrow Hill.
90007 leads a prial of class 90 locos working 4M89 16:13 Felixstowe - Ditton. The third loco 90016 is running unpowered presumably to take the engine to Crewe
M50680 leads a three car class 120 DMU set into Nottingham station, 19th May 1980. The western approach to Nottingham station has completely changed from this view with all of the railway infrastructure (goods depot, goods yard, shunting frame, 16ton mineral wagons) all gone being replaced by new Magistrates courts and Inland Revenue offices.
Unit History
M50680 was built at Swindon works in 1958 as part of an order for forty nine, three car sets for Western Region long distance “cross country” services. In the late 1960’s, twenty two sets were transferred from the Western Region to Derby Etches Park, to replace Cravens class 105 three car units which where transferred to Accrington where they were reduced to two car power twins with the trailer vehicles being withdrawn. I am old enough to remember our surprise on the arrival of these class 120 sets in the East Midlands (no internet in those days) and the improvement they brought to the East Midlands local services. Until the introduction of the class 150 “Sprinter” DMU’s in 1985 these class 120 units formed the backbone of the East Midlands local train fleet. By March 1986 the remaining class 120 vehicles had been transferred away from Derby and by October 1989 the last class 120 vehicles had been withdrawn.
Praktica LTL, Ektachrome 200
New York Ontario & Western Railway Y-2 class 4-8-2 Mountain steam locomotive # 457, leads a freight train on the main line with a reefer block up front as two kids on the left watch the action during the early 1940's. The Y-2 class Mountains were built by ALCO in 1929 and were very similar to the New York Central L-2c class steam locomotives. Ten locomotives in the Y-2 class were delivered # 451 - # 460. They were rebuilt and improved in later years along with a weight increase, and they provided with their booster a total of 71,868 lbs of starting tractive effort. The main driver on this locomotive appears to be a Boxpok. The two young lads sitting on the left are enjoying the steam action I am sure. Do not know the location for this photo scene. There appears to be a town with homes on the right and also a graveyard.
The name of the photographer that captured this image is unknown and it came from a photo that was on the Internet. This photo has been cropped and modified from the original to improve its appearance.
