Amtraks eastbound "Empire Builder" is seen at Portage, Wisconsin on July 16th, 1992 with Soo 4603-Amt 367 and 12 cars. Having the Soo engine up front made it worth chasing....I would think that this wasn't too normal of a practice over the Soo Line at this time, so I'm guessing the train probably needed an engine enroute.
Soo GP40 #4603 was built by EMD as Soo #735 in March of 1967.
AMTK F40PHR 3367 was built by EMD in May of 1981.
This is a set of pictures I was thinking of making since several months ago. I wanted to create a line-up of my sister's and my own dolls, but something different from your usual comparison pictures.

I went into NYC this weekend for the giant Flickr meet at the High Line. It was a gorgeous, sunny day which, as photographers know, means difficult light in the middle of the day, so I didn't take a whole lot of photos. I had a great time anyway. I met some longtime photography friends, some of them for the first time, and I made some new friends.
I moved out of the city ten years ago, and the High Line was built since then. Since I don't get into the city often enough, this was my first time visiting the High Line, and I was seriously impressed.
I will have a few more photos to share from the day, but since we went to the in-laws' in NJ right after the flickr meet for the rest of the weekend, I haven't had much of a chance to sort through them. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone else's photos from the meet too.
To my regular contacts: so sorry I've been such a rotten contact recently. I'll be able to visit soon!
Cheese, cheese, cheese is everywhere. Who wouldn't like a tasty piece of cheese on a bread wrapped with love and some herbs? Food surrounds us everyday, but not everyday we can try something different.
Northbound Soo Line train #201 crawls through Kentland, Indiana on July 2nd, 1987 at 10:30 am with Soo 788-787-743, 113 cars and Soo caboose #52. Train had mixed freight on the head end, a block of loaded ATSF hoppers (which was odd) and trailers & autoracks on the rear.
In this photo, the train is knocking the northbound home signal down and will be crossing the TP&W and US 24/52.
Soo SD40-2 #788 was built by EMD in October of 1975.
Soo SD40-2 #787 was built by EMD in October of 1975.
Soo SD40 #743 was built by EMD in May of 1969.
I may not have seen the NYC's Egyptian train, but I got 5 solid years of Milw/Soo trains instead....
PW B23-7 #2216 sits tied up on Shore Line Track 1, along with NR-2's outbound train with empties bound for Plainfield. The 2216 is on its way to Worcester for an overdue 92 day inspection. Big surprise. In the good news department, a string of brand spankin’ new stone cars for Tilcon sit on Shore 5 waiting to head north to Wallingford.
Tracks 1, 3, 5 and 7 are all that remains of the Shore Line Departure Tracks, in the former New Haven Railroad's Cedar Hill Yard. The once sprawling entitie that was Cedar Hill has been trimmed down to a shadow of its former self, with portions being used by Amtrak, CSX and P&W. Copywrite Thomas Schubert 2018.
Notice the change between concrete ties and wooden ties... The RTA seems to be slowly replacing certain sections of ties with the more modern concrete ones.
The Waterfront RTA line opened on July, 10, 1996. Interestingly, this line passes under and has a station underneath the Detroit-Superior Bridge (where the abandoned since 1954 streetcar / subway route is). This is the newest RTA line and is a light rail route, not a grade separated / heavy rail metro route like the red line.

I believe this coach was used to transport fans to concerts booked through "Way ahead records", another brilliant record store no longer around

I hope everyone is well. I've been keeping an eye on friends' postings but haven't had much time to comment. That and I'm in one of those photography lulls, partly caused by a cold/cough that refuses to go away and is impacting my sleep. That said I am excited to be trying out some architecture photography. I took my first tenative steps last week - though plans didn't quite go as hoped (missing the lovely evening light and there being virtually an empty sky the following morning). Was fun trying to composition though - I have a lot to learn (I also found the whole idea of setting up outside a tall building with a tripod really odd - a completely different experience to being on the quiet beaches of North Wales)! I have one image which I'm playing with - I'm trying to convince myself whether I like it and/or whether it's worth sharing to show my starting point.
In the meantime I thought I'd share this which I've been toying with on and off since my holiday a few months back. It's actually a 'similar' to one I've posted previously but the thing that caught my eye on this is the really unusual impact the long exposure has had on the cloud. This is one of the things I like about long exposure photography - the fact that whilst you can have an idea how an image will come out, you don't really know until that count of seconds ends. Whilst I'm very much a digital photographer, I wonder if this is a little bit how film photography feels - with the wait to see the exposure (though obviously with film it's longer than 30-400 seconds before you see the result).

For a few miles Union Pacific's mainline between North Platte and Cheyenne ducks down into Colorado before bouncing back north. Here at The state line between Nebraska and Colorado we see a westbound grain train about to enter Colordao with a UP-SP-UP-SP-UP lash up. UP 844 was sitting behind me waiting to head east.

This is the Clothes Line sculpture by Brian Callinan which aligns with the clear, distant horizon. It’s reminiscent of a clothesline: a transient place to hang temporary (sometimes dirty) washing and refers to Brexit, together with the positive and negatives of migration. Brian says the piece features “Distress, longing, belonging and remorse and asks questions like: What are we doing? And why are we doing it? “ ///rise.headings.limits #what3words #portland
