BNSF 5809 leads an Eastbound loaded coal train on the Brookfield Subdivision across the bridge over Tater Hill Creek near Tina, MO. The train is heading to the Thomas Hill Energy Center.
A stained glass entryway leads to the chapel, the centerpiece of which is a solid marble altar placed in the center of a circular marble platform. A metal sculpture by Harry Bertoia reflects light from the only window in the chapel, a beautiful domed skylight. The sculpture appears as a cascading waterfall of light that is constantly adjusting, moving, and redefining the interior of the chapel. The Chapel also features a 1300 pound bell cast at MIT in the Metals Processing Laboratory and a 768-pipe organ designed by Walter Holtkamp.
Once inside, the visitor is transported to a completely unexpected interior space that is unknown from the exterior façade. The interior is inundated with a high level of detail and atmospheric qualities that are enhanced by filtered natural light.
My other images from the MIT Chapel:
Is this the man who leads our country? Boris, Biden, Trump, Macron, Putin, Xi ? Which is the wooden top we put our trust and faith in?
Which one knows the truth about the origins of Covid, or the Christmas party? Which one launched a biological attack on the freedoms of the people, which one will stop World War Three from happening by not attacking Ukraine or Taiwan? Which one will ensure world Peace?
As my son would say, we are at the stage now, like in 1930's Germany, when after WW2 people say, why didn't we stop them when all the terrible things first started? And they started stripping us of our freedoms?
My picture today, a carved 'signpost' at the divide in the road at Satran, Skye.. A Worzel Gummidge scarecrow, crucified on a wooden cross. Hmmmm. Symbolic? There was a man who gave his life, crucified on a cross for his beliefs. As Christmas nears (not 'Holidays'), perhaps we need to pause a moment just to remember what this whole thing is about. Shouldn't life be about being humane and showing goodwill to all others?
Do something good and give yourself the best Christmas ever! Which leader have you got faith in? Any of those above, for Christ's sake? Try the man who died on a wooden cross.,
An SD70ACe-T4 leads UP train MDMNL-21 down Main Track 2 of the UP KC Metro Sub at 12th St heading to Leeds for a crew change.
To the left is the former site of Ford Assembly Plant at 10th and Winchester, which began construction in 1909 and finished two years later in 1911. This was the first Ford plant built outside of Detroit.
Ford later opened up a new plant within the Kansas City area at Claycomo, MO, which opened its doors in 1951 for military production. Eventually, consumer vehicles were then produced at the newer Claycomo plant beginning in January of 1957, and by the end of December of 1956, production ceased at the original Winchester plant.
The twin smokestacks with "Ford" in-laid on the bricks still remain standing here, serving as a reminder of a bit of Kansas City history. 12/21/24.
CSX SD40-2 8823 leads CN X342 South through West Chicago, IL. The conductor picks up some orders from JB Tower the old fashioned way.
BNSF Railway ES44C4 No. 6997 leads Q-CHCSSE1-07A around a sweeping curve just east of West Glacier, Montana on Feb. 11, 2017. The second locomotive is Norfolk Southern No. 8101 painted in a special Central of Georgia Railway tribute scheme.
No. 8101 has made at least two trips to the Pacific Northwest this year. Unfortunately, the first round trip across Marias Pass took place either at night or while I was work. It looked as if the same scenario was unfolding last week until Mother Nature got involved. At about the same time the train made it to Shelby earlier this week an avalanche closed BNSF's main line over Marias Pass. If I was lucky, the closure would be just long enough to delay the train until the weekend. But the line was reopened on Friday and by that evening the Seattle-bound Q train was rolling again. It appeared the train would once again roll through my area under the cover of darkness. But congestion on the Hi Line changed all that and the crew that took the train out of Shelby on Friday evening only made it as far as Blackfoot, just east of Browning. The train was parked until a new crew was able to get to it early Saturday, setting the stage for a morning chase down Marias Pass.
67027 leads a Network Rail test train through the picturesque station at Bath Spa. 67023 was bringing up the rear. I came very close to being bowled by a pigeon who saw me crouching down and thought there was food on offer!
Amtrak P42DC 19 leads an F40PH out of town on the former CB&Q Racetrack, which had recently become BNSF, Chicago IL Feb 1997. Number 19 is less than a year old, delivered the previous October.
BNSF 1755, a blue bonnet SD40-2, leads local Y-JOL202 by UD in Joliet for what seems like the millionth time since 2022 when it was first put on the local. This unit will never be boring to shoot as it’s one of the last bits of BNSF fallen flag power on any locals or yard jobs in the area.
Rail Operations Group (ROG) 57312 leads 6330 + 7 Ex-LNER MK3s (41164, 40742, 42134, 42188, 42180, 42181, 42106) past Waterbeach, working the 5Q78 0925 from Ely Papworth Sidings to Newport Docks (Simsgroup).
Diverted via Cambridge / North London Line / GWML due to the 4E45 blocking the line between Ely and Peterborough; sparks were spotted coming off one of the wagons when passing Manea signal box at around 01:45 this morning. The scrap drag was originally planned to run via Peterborough / Leicester / Gloucester.
90034 leads 92036 'Bertolt Brecht' past Milton Malsor on the 0A06 1332 Crewe T.M.D. (E) to DB Cargo Fan A And B Sdgs, in the final few minutes of daylight.
92036 is the first 92 to travel along any part of the WCML in 2023 as, due to New Years Day and the bank holiday, the Caledonian Sleeper has yet to run this year. Also of note is the new OHLE masts which have appeared over the last week, presumably in preparation for the rail connection to Northampton Gateway.
Just over a month later in February 2023, 90034 was placed into storage at Crewe IEMD.

93002 leads a pair of barriers and 93007 into reading Working 5H72 from Eastleigh trsmd to Wembley.
The pair had worked 6Q86 down from Derby with a 180.
On Thursday 26/9/2024, a lightly loaded 5XM1 (Aurizon loading shuttle) is seen approaching Gawler River road (between Two Wells-Virginia, SA) with CLP16-6054 in charge.
Chessie System, B&O GP40 3701 leads a blue sister through Hammond at Calumet Ave.on the B&OCT in August 1981.
Caledonian Sleeper liveried 87002 'Royal Sovereign' leads the Caledonian Sleeper 'Lowlander' ECS 5E35 0750 London Kings Cross to Wembley Inter City Depot past Harringay. Hired in Freightliner 90046 was at the rear of the short formed 12 coach train.
Caledonian Sleepers where diverted due to engineering work outside London Euston, resulting in the sleepers terminating at Kings Cross. The process required the 'Highlander', normally comprising of 16 coaches when running along its normal WCML route, to be split up into two 7 coach trains because of short platforms at London Kings Cross.
LDP003 badged in the QR National scheme on lease from EDi leads G534 on 3MP1 through Coonana on 29-3-12
Passing by the massive grain elevator, Illinois Central SD70 1027 leads the way of CN train M-371 as it flies through Gilman, Illinois at around 50-60mph.
Quite awesome to see an IC SD70 lead the way on the former IC "Mainline of Mid-America".
E43112 leads W43006 on the approaches to Fitzwilliam with "The West Riding Limited - HST Farewell Tour" - 1Z43 11:01 Leeds to London Kings Cross. 21/12/2019. Not the best of spots but I couldn't think of anywhere else that would enable me to get to the steam afterwards. As it was, my intended position on Fitz station was crap, so thanks to www.flickr.com/photos/driff_tiger/ for helping me find this location. Good job I took me steps!
37901 leads 608 and some barrier wagons with 37800 on the rear after exiting Milford Tunnel working 5Z57 Derby RTC - Derby RTC via Sheffiled and Toton.
This is 37901s official 1st loaded test run
BNSF #6269 leads Detroit Edison loads across the Calumet River on Chicago's "East Side".
The site that is now CP 509 interlocking was once a collection of five railroad bridges. The PRR and NYC both had a pair of double-track lift bridges for freight and passenger and the B&OCT had a single double-track bascule drawbridge. PRR Bridge #2 was dismantled in 1968, the NYC bridge were subsequently put out-of-service, and the B&OCT bridge sustained heavy damage after a freight slammed into it in 1988 leaving PRR Bridge #1 as the only active railroad bridge at the site. The grain silos on the left were owned by the Norris Grain Company.
CSX 6071 leads the daily Cincinnati - Winchester road local, better known as C701, through the former L&N searchlights at North Cabin near Winchester, KY. The crew are just minutes from their destination of Patio Yard, where they will spot some cars before heading to the hotel.
197 001 leads a 2x2 car formation on an additional early afternoon test / mileage accumulation run from Llandudno Junction to Chester, passing Beeches Farm occupation crossing on Fri 25th November 2022.
Taken with the kind permission of the landowner.
As modern DMU's go, I quite like the look of these! They will of course become a very familiar sight as they start to get rolled into service with TfW over the coming months.
GP35m 3600 leads NX10 west through Newtown, Ct., after working Blue Linx, formerly Georgia-Pacific lumber in Botsford. A lot has changed since this image was taken, Blue Linx closed after the roof of their building collapsed after a heavy snow, with consolidating locations. The Maybrook has been OOS service east of Hawleyville for a yaer or so while Northeast Utilities contractors replace the transmission towers that have lined the ROW since the sixties. And in August during a historic ten-inch rainfall a devastating washout severed the route in Botsford. The moral of this story? Take pictures of everything because you never know when it will change.
43047 leads the LSL Midland Pullman set and 43046 through the parched Cornish landscape at Resparveth between St Austell and Truro with 1Z12, the 06.00 Eastleigh - Penzance "Cornish Coastal Pullman" on 13 August 2022. This was the only train of the day on this section of the Cornish Main Line due to a 24 hour strike by Aslef members.
Above the train is the village of Grampound Road and beyond it the hills of Clay Country.
66 519 leads the Chiltern Metals RHTT towards Northwood Hills having not long passed through Pinner. The London Underground Metropolitan Line shares its tracks with Chiltern Railways on this stretch as far as Amersham. Also, this route is heavily tree lined, hence the need for trains such as these!
NKP 901 leads this section of the Blue Ash Special minutes into its trip at Pleasant Ridge, OH. The Blue Ash Flyer, hosted by the Cincinnati Railway Company, operated a special passenger train over former Pennsylvania Railroad trackage from Norwood to Kemper Rd north of Blue Ash, OH. This subdivision is operated by G&W subsidiary I&O, who graciously allowed a passenger train to operate over the line, the first in 29 years. Power for the train consisted of 2 former NKP GP30's, 8 coaches and a power car.
BMACC010 leads an empty BMA coal train near Coppabella heading west to load. BMACC011/006 were the mid-train helpers.
BNSF 1978 leads the Independence Day version of the Pikes Peak Local seen here on the U.S. Air Force Academy near Colorado Springs, CO.
Okay, yes, this is the last photo I'll share of this train taken from this same spot on the South Gate Bridge. But when one has a rare weekday off and happens to catch a SD40-2 up front, one tends to shoot as many angles as possible (despite them being similar) and then overshare the results!
Freightliner Class 70 70009 leads 6L67 Tunstead to Ipswich Griffin Wharf at Bradfield, the train now heading back along the Harwich branch to re-join the GEML and complete its journey to Suffolk's largest town. I understand these trains are delivering for the construction of Sizewell C and that the material goes by road to there, however construction of new sidings at Leiston is underway to allow rail transportation to there.
CBRW 652 leads the Connell Turn north towards Warden, WA under cloudy skies.
After watching the interchange at Connell, WA, we decided that despite the larger storm clouds above, chasing them north would probably be a good idea anyway since I wasn't sure the next time I would be back on this line. The rain wasn't pouring, so most of the dirt roads through the farmlands weren't totally destroyed into mud yet so we drove north and got a couple of shots. I'm not sure why, but I decided to try to use my 35-16mm lens the whole time so I ended up with most shots looking similar to this one, although I was able to find a couple different angles. At this location, I kind of just jumped out of the car and went wide, trying to get the house in the back in the shot, not much else to it.

SD40-3 #4010 leads Y106 under the signal cantilever at Pleasant St on their way east to work various industries. Some of the skyline of downtown Grand Rapids can be seen behind the US 131 bridge. Long ago, the PRR and NYC crossed the Pere Marquette at grade (roughly where the overpass is) here, and the PM also diverged to the right, all 3 lines converging at Union Station. After the station was closed and demolished in the 1960s, the tracks through downtown were gradually torn up, the Conrail main finally coming out in 1983. The track at the far right is the lead to the Amtrak station that was constructed in 2014, partially following the old ROW to GRUS.

Charlie on the Sentinel Trail at Wyalusing State Park.
We had some sleet and snow during our hike but it was wonderful and refreshing.
We arrived before 10am and had the park to ourselves.
We hiked 5.41 miles according to GPS and desended 843 feet and climbed 841 feet. A great slow workout for the two of us.
The sights were beautiful above and below the confluence of the Wisconsin River and the Mississippi River.
I still have a few trails to go before we knock off all them. Looks like a great winter project.
BNSF ES44AC No. 6004 leads a loaded coal train into the Little Missouri River Valley east of Sentinel Butte, N.D., on July 3, 2011. Manned helpers from Glendive, Mont., remain attached, and won't depart this train until it climbs out of the valley near Fryburg, N.D. Sentinel Butte's namesake is visible above the train.
NKP 765 leads the Sunday afternoon leg of the Joliet Rocket past an excited crowd of both railfans and just curious onlookers on Metra's Rock Island Line, bound for Chicago LaSalle St.
It doesn't matter how old you may be, steam hauled trains will always fill you with joy.
66548 leads 66512 through Treeton heavily smoking whilst working the 4O95 1212 Leeds - Southampton freightliner .

43285 leads a diverted 1E63 14.27 Plymouth-Leeds through the Avon valley on 10/08/21. Its normal route affected by major engineering work near Bristol Temple Meads.
A smile for today !! Junior leads the way. I loved this scene as it reminds of children and how they love to lead their parents to wherever they want to go. The animal world is not so different from the human world !!
The path of light leads you on superb journeys even after Sunset and with a little help from tall flora 6 Film Frames
The amount of light and wind was changing the landscape before me. The light was diminishing in illumination and expanding in tone. With some edits here are some samples of the wonders working their ways within my paths.
Tall Flora is not in every picture.

UP 8074 leads a long MPUNY (Pueblo, CO - North Yard (Denver), CO) manifest into Castle Rock, CO. This train was running 4x1.
Even though it's the Joint Line, BNSF trains heavily outnumber their Armour Yellow counterparts, but it was a Union Pacific morning on this particular day. The MPUNY met its counterpart, the MNYPU, a bit earlier on the siding at Monument, and, directly off to my right on Main 1, a UP CSUX coal train bound for Colorado Springs was working its way south.
