Here's my first photo from a week-long trip I took to southeast Oregon. These are the Pillars of Rome, and you can read just a bit more about them at my blog.

a station wagon is a dangerous tool for one prone to collecting... so glad I had it....as I never would have known you...sticks and stones and animal bones...

DC Rail 60046 'William Wilberforce' is seen in Southampton Up Yard loading its train ready to depart to Willesden in the morning. 12/06/2020

The UP's Marsh Job, LPA-55, pulls two loads of scrap from Miller Compressing in Walker's Point.

This is one of three semi-regular customers for the UP in Walker's Point, but the traffic for delivery of empties and pickup of loads is fairly inconsistent.

UP 1474

Southbound loads close in on Two Harbors behind a quad of veteran EMD's.

At a tiny speck on the map known as Brimson, a loaded train from Arcelor Mittal's Minorca Mine creeps towards the siding where it will meet an empty train heading for US Steel's Minntac Mine. Leading the way is the Illinois Central SD40-2 6251, the last black unit on the CN roster still sporting a white frame stripe.

A few hours after going east at South Bay, 59 loads return west, seen here at Canal Harbor.

Loading gill net for fishing. On the other end is a truck with a big winch, providing tension, and feeding the winch on the front of the gill net boat.

The rusted side of the old Rice Capitol mill, in Stuttgart, Arkansas.

Loading point at the colliery at Sanbao, Liaoning Province, China, looked to be closed but the presence of loaded wagons told another story. The mines in this area were extensively developed by the Japanese during their occupation in the 1930s and early 1940s. All now demolished with a new road running along the line of the railway.

In spite of the dull cloudy conditions & wet grass from overnight rain, I ventured along the coast this morning for a hoped for sight of the Silver-studded Blue Butterflies. Found some for a few shots so worth the trip despite getting wet feet. Loading 2 open wing shots & an underside where the forewing underside seems to be washed out of colour.

I still have not had my main oven fixed/replaced. The little table-top oven works just fine for baking scones - just took 3 loads for 12 scones!

The dynamic brakes on the pair of CIT Rail Resources SD90MACs are howling as they work to hold back the tonnage of the raw taconite ore as Northshore Mining’s morning train descends into their destination of Silver Bay, Minnesota.

"Stick" Shilman and Brandon Terrell arrive at "103" in the 900 with an equipment transport for Mill 5/dry sort from town. The 988 log loader could be easily moved by flat car between the Mill Three and Five sites as needed.

At Pi Mai (the Lao New Year), everywhere in the street -and even at home- people a doing watee fight. This is very welcome because of the hot weather, some of the hotest days of the year.

My quick 30 min layout grab fab background paper and some small elements for layering.

Straight shot without filters or effects. LED light source.

37222 and one of its pals (thought to be 37375) descend from Chalmerston with blending coal for Killoch, near Laight's Farm crossing. Early 1990s.

There are already some awesome Power Loaders out there like those from Larry Lars and ninbendo.

I wanted to have a go and try to get a small scale loader close to the one used by Ripley. The leg mod allows for a small amount of articulation.

WNYP's stone train for Turtlepoint is being live loaded at Machias, New York on August 6, 2019. If I remember right I believe we counted on average eight buckets to a car. The load time was about three hours of which half of it occurred during a torrential downpour. This is shoreline railroading, whatever it takes to serve the customers.

Hi everybody! Well I still don't have my new camera. The story of my life, right?! Anyways, I miss you all and being on Flickr so I'm posting something from the archives in the meantime. I'll try to be more active on here. And since I start school in 3 weeks, I'll be on my computer daily.

Thanks so much for stopping by my Flickr friends!
