Bulleid Merchant Navy Pacific 35028 Clan Line of the Merchant Navy Locomotive Preservation Society in the sun at New Alresford during its only steam gala visit. Edit to put the right name plates on it - the red ones... rather than the black ones that it often carries.

Technically not the best photograph in the world, but I wanted to show the line at the aquarium. If you follow the line of people to the glass section of the building the door was just beyond that, we were about 50% through the line, the back of the line behind us wrapped around and started to go into another direction ;)

Reflections in a building in Vancouver. The mirror finish on the windows gives this a a feeling of looking though the building, like its transparent.
Fellow Flickrite Dan Lowe and I were scoping this site out a couple weeks ago on a cloudy day when there was nothing to lose and found it acceptable. I tried again last week and got a major cf'ing so I was determined to get it right. With a free couple hours this afternoon and sunny skies predicted I gave it a third shot. Here CSX local B724 is rolling north on the former Agricultural Branch Railroad at the switch for Mass Container. The power and 7 tanks on the pin are in the town of Northborough MA, the rest of the train (5 boxes, 1 lumber and 18 C&D gons) is in Marlborough MA. Rumor has it that Mass Container (just out of frame to the left - I sacrificed some scenery to shoot the switch points) has won a contract to make boxes for Amazon, and that rail service will be starting up again in the fall. That remains to be seen. I'm glad I got this today, as the mid-day sun is getting summertime harsh, so the light won't really be good again until late September.
I was holding 3rd trick at Griffith tower when I took this shot out the window of the westbound "Lined Train" on October 22nd, 1999. This was the best angle I could get as the windows on the north side of the tower were either blocked by lockers or so old and dirty that you couldn't see through them.
If I remember correctly, EJ&E's train the "Night Flyer" ran from Joliet to Gary with a departure time from Joliet sometime around 11 pm-ish. When it got to Gary, it turned on the "Lined Train" and went back to Joliet. This info may be somewhat incorrect but that is what I recall.
This train had EJ&E 656-666, 65 cars and a Union Tank Car switcher mid-train, which I will post because I would like info on it.
Train went 2-1 through the plant and levers out for this move were 49 (crossover)-51 (lock lever)-54 (home signal).
EJ&E SD38-2 #656 was built by EMD in January of 1974.

The remoteness of steam on the Brighton Mainline; the improbability we'd see a Bullied and the extreme improbability of it being Clan Line, meant that I had to pop out yesterday morning and evening to snap Dad/Granddad's loco hauling a steam excursion to Bath/Bristol (as far as Salisbury anyway) ... the weather was still gloomy and raining before 8am but we had an overhead full moon at 10:40pm... making use of my 1.8 'nifty fifty' at f/2.2 to get some light ... gave a brighter result than Monday evening's attempt with Braunton in the rain. Two Bulleids at speed passing through Wiveslfield in the evening was something special. Whilst Braunton was accelerating from a stop at Burgess Hill, so probably at about 40mph. There was no hindering Clan Line on Saturday as she emerged from the darkness, the middle-C whistle breaking the silence as it emerged into the station lights... powering through, at at least 60mph would be my guess.... some of the unaware bystanders were quite awed by the spectacle... something I suspect they'll remember for some time.
Images taken with camera quite wide open.. ISO pushed to between 16000 and 32600 but AI noise cancelling in photoshop is superb if not overused. The night image of Clan Line was only lightly AI-Noise reduced, so I may give it another go at some point. It'll do for now.
One of the few images I captured on the day of such bad visibility due to the fog. The Met line also suffered a few delays because of this (drivers applying a bit more caution / slower speeds to be able to sight signals in good time), so here I was stuck somewhere on the Uxbridge branch for a good while, waiting for things to get moving in front of me.
The worst part of the day consisted of having the fright of my life whilst approaching every station platform. People leaning out and over the yellow lane and platform limits in order to try and see their train in the fog; they don't seem to realise that I have the same problem, but with the station and platform edges, and latterly, the same people leaning over that yellow line peering over the yellow line wondering when the vague shape that is approaching might materialise into a train...
North of Neasden, this remained much a familiar sight for pretty much the whole of the day, with no real respite even during the middle of the day. It is quite possibly the worst day's driving I've ever experienced, purely because of the completely lack of visibility. All the usual fixed reference points that I use to inform myself of where I am (bridges, posts, man-made structures) so that I know where signals are were completely gone in the fog, so relied a lot on signal repeaters and fog repeaters (though at one point that wasn't exactly foolproof as for some reason we have had a whole bunch of fog repeaters out of action, though funny how they were all miraculously working *after* the foggy day). Add general low rail adhesion due to the moisture and extended leaf fall to the mix... super fun times. Not.
I did have some pictures from when I was stopped at stations where I was going to show how many car markers you could just about see up to, but I think it will be better if I can get comparison shots and display them as a diptych so you can see how visibility is normally.

Merchant Navy class 4-6-2 35028 Clan Line casts a pall of smoke across an otherwise bucolic scene as it heads a steam special back to Paddington through rural Gloucestershire.

Stagecoach had purchased East Midland in April 1989 over a year later on 26-08-90 I spotted this line up at Sutton Rd Mansfield garage, with no vehicles in Stagecoach livery it was a must take now shot.

The High Line (est. 2009) is a 1.45 mile (2.33 kilometer) long elevated linear park, greenway, and rail trail created on a former New York Central Railroad spur on the west side of Manhattan, New York City. @highlinenyc
After my experience at Snettisham the day before I decided I would give Blakeney Point a go. I'd never been before, but I'd been chatting with a couple who'd been the day before and said it was absolutely fantastic, and recommended Beans Boat Trips. So I booked myself on a trip with them on the Monday morning. The tide was very high, so we had to wait a little while for the tide to recede before heading out. It was a beautiful morning, after a grey start the sun came out, and there was little to no wind. It didn't take long to get to the seals, we first encountered this group of Common Seals that posed nicely on the bank, before we headed a little further to a large colony of Grey Seals.
There were also diving Juvenile Gannets, and a lot of other birds including Terns and Oystercatchers. The trip may only have been an hour, but we certainly packed a lot in. I would highly recommend a boat trip from Morston Quay if you're ever in the area. I'd also highly recommend the National Trust Cafe there, I had the best Blueberry Bakewell ever!
