Located along the Pacific Coast well away of any tourist's radar is the port city of Onahama, and a little freight railway called the Fukushima Rinkai Railway.
The railway originally opened in 1915, and has been in operation since, first transporting passengers, then transitioning to freight only. It primarily hauls intermodal, and Zinc (until April 2025) on a short 6km line between the port, and the JR interchange at Izumi. The line was damaged in the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake but was back in business one year later. Currently, they employ a few 1970's built centercab diesel locomotives and operate only a handful of runs a day. Despite their sparsely operational nature, they are a fun little shortline to photograph, in a lowkey beautiful area of Japan.
Here, DD56-1 leaves the town of Onahama with a train of baretable intermodal cars for the JR interchange at Izumi Station.

I am thankful for adversity. Likewise, I am thankful for the humility and utter reliance on God it points me to.
Now, before you think I'm all some kind of noble, let me also say that adversity hurts. And the conflict and outright hostility from some in my life hurts especially hard... dismissive ridicule masquerading as high-minded tolerance; mocking sneers written into shaded words; assumptions and presumptions born of enmity and estrangement.
I have lost to that estrangement close family and friend alike. Job would understand. So would Paul, and Luther, and Wilberforce, and Schneider. Each drew a line that defined an arc of adversity against which they leaned continually throughout their days. Mine, like theirs, has become an anchor.
God, it is said, draws straight lines with crooked sticks. And mine was particularly misshapen. But as an invited resident in my life, the line Christ has drawn for me has become a dividing line with those who bear adversity in their bosoms as if it their very breath. And for that I am thankful. No, not that we are divided. But thankful that by that line I am forever tethered to a hope and peace and assurance I would not have otherwise discovered.
As adversity isolates it also frees. And I am free, indeed.

lines come in many
shapes and sizes
in all sorts of places
sometimes we make them
and other times they are
already established
walking a thin line
crossing the line
waiting in line
down the line
journey through life
and you will find lines
showing the way
or keeping you out
it depends on you
and what you are
trying to get to
that determines which
side of the line
you are on.
West Coast Railways 37685, currently on hire to Network Rail Scotland, is seen powering away from Arbroath Station as 0Z99 Perth to Perth via Aberdeen. 37685 had been carrying out line proving runs between Montrose and Aberdeen after the completion of bridge repairs near Carmont.
The Longhai Line between Baoji and Tianshui offers a number of incredible sights. While the original line crept along the hillsides, it was upgraded several times, and only rather short stretches of the original line are still used. Instead, a large number of long bridges were built to replace it, one of which you can see here.
Despite the efforts to upgrade the old line, a completely new high-speed line is being built nearby, going straight through the mountains!
The train is headed towards Tianshui and is hauled by a HXD1.1 locomotive.

The Watercress Line is the marketing name of the Mid-Hants Railway, a heritage railway in Hampshire, England, running 10 miles (16 km) from New Alresford to Alton where it connects to the National Rail network. The line gained its popular name in the days when it was used to transport locally grown watercress to markets in London. The railway currently operates regular scheduled services, along with dining trains, real ale trains and numerous special events throughout the year.
