This particular jump did not end well. There were tears. But there was also a resolve to get better at it, because, as he said, "the flying part was awesome. It was just the landing part that wasn't so much fun."

I love how the Noctilux is able to pick up all the nuances of subtle colors.

Lesson #4: Volumes First attempt with Inktense pencils. Should have used a graphite or oil-based black to avoid muddying the colours. The proportions and shapes are about right, though.

IT’S 7:30AM in a small AirBnb in the sleepy mill town of Millinocket, Maine. It’s a gray and miserable day, low 60’s with light rain, as my dad would call it, “Good old Irish Weather.” And I don’t yet know it, but I have just violated one of the golden rules of railfanning.
My friend Liam and I had come up to Penobscot County to check several things off the bucket list, and we’ve had a successful, yet grueling four days running up from NYC and around the whole of northern Maine. For our last full day up north, we had one last thing to catch: New Brunswick Southern. Liam had proposed a 5am wakeup call to catch 905’s run from Brownsville Junction to Mattawamkeag and back. A friend of ours had tipped us off the crew would go on-duty around 6am, run to Mattawamkeag, pick up cars, and run back. After three straight 14+ hour days with 5am wake up calls, I was frankly exhausted and begged for us to go straight for Mattawamkeag to get an extra hour of sleep. Liam at this point had much more experience in the Class II/III chasing department than I did, and rightly pointed out it would be worth it to watch them leave Brownsville. But out of pity he relented. After all I reasoned, we would get almost no light with cloud cover at 6:30am, so we may as well just shoot the return run. As long as we got to Mattawamkeag in time, what could go wrong?
What could go wrong?
Now I may be an atheist, but some higher authority heard that and saw an opportunity that was too good to pass up. As we turned up in Mattawamkeag and saw a small yard completely devoid of railcars.
Fuck.
We immediately hop back in the car and race all the way back to Brownsville Junction and are greeted with not an engine in sight. And thus, my insistence to get just a little bit of sleep starts to set in the delusion. Is 905 even running today? What if it ran somewhere unexpected this morning? The endless possibilities rear their ugly heads like a Hydra, constantly multiplying, feeding off each other. I don’t even know why, but we decide to drive a few miles down the line to the edge of Schoodic Lake. As we near the crossing, we think we hear a horn. We burst out of the car into a boat launch parking lot, cameras in hand. A lone fisherman sees our commotion and yells over to us,
“What are you all trying to see?”
Liam yells back, “The train!”
“Oh yeah, it just went through about two minutes ago!”
—————————————————————
I don’t remember if Liam and I even spoke on the car ride back to Millinocket. I had played my hand in Vegas and unsurprisingly, lost. Our morale was shot. We had no idea if anything else was running today. We may have to shelve NBSR for another trip.
Thankfully, whatever deity is out there decided to take pity on us, and we pulled up to Millinocket Yard to see the 910 crew building a train to take out around 1. The shots attached are grainy film photos from that chase, when I decided to finish my FM11’s roll of film getting them crossing ME-11 southbound on the Millinocket Sub. The weather that day was almost mystical, with a light mist and fog blanketing the hills and forests, every bend and turn opening up ahead of us like something out of Harry Potter. It was a redeeming chase, and we went back to our BnB that night with a fully checked list. And it taught me a valuable railfanning lesson: Do not risk yourself by tempting the fates.
While I am certainly nowhere near as well travelled as some of my peers, this hobby has taken me to places I would never have conventionally gone. The states, counties, cities, towns, and vistas I have had the opportunity to visit, even in my own backyard, in just a few short years have been an incredible experience. Recently when I open the news and social media, I can’t help but wonder if people see the same country that I do. How could people possibly be so hateful towards such a breathtaking, diverse, and opportunistic land? My friends at college often ask me why on earth I do all of this. Why do I spend weekends and evenings and vacations in trains, planes, buses and cars going who knows where? And I’ve only ever been able to come up with one response: How couldn’t I?
Fish don't care if you craft your pole from a willow branch....... or pay big bucks at a fancy outdoor shop for a graphite job...... the skill of the user, and what's at the end of the line is what really matters!

LIFE LESSONS I HAVE LEARNED:
A truly crazy person can make a sane person feel crazy....and yes, unfortunately I have come across a few crazies in my life! The beauty of maturity is knowing when to walk away and free ones soul of negativity. Life is just to darn short to be around others who fail to appreciate it! I now live for myself, so that I have more to give to others. There is no pleasing everyone no matter how hard you try. Just don't forget to smile even when it hurts! :)

I added a little to my lesson 9 drawing... I hope this looks better. I spent maybe one minute more on it. I defined the lines and shaded it to be darker. Let me know what you think.
