This is a Sagebrush Sparrow, mostly found east of California, but it does look very much like a Bell's Sparrow. Another birder found it in advance of the annual Carrizo Plain Christmas bird count, and it stuck around for count day, for which I'm grateful
BNSF's Cody Local (R-PWR8162-24) with a pair of former Burlington Northern SD70MACs, three loads from CertainTeed Gypsum & Ceiling in Cody, a former Santa Fe Ortner hopper, and a caboose (shoving platform), roll underneath Highway 14 in Garland, Wyoming. The local runs a round trip between Cody, Wyoming, and Frannie (the connection to BNSF's Casper Subdivision).
A pair of Iowa Interstate GEVOs lead a train of loaded grain hoppers east through the small town of Brooklyn, IA along the railroad's Newton Sub. The two units departed as lite power from the yard at South Amana and went to an elevator in Malcom to pick up these loads and bring them back to the yard. IAIS 519, the leader, has the name 'Paul H. Banner' written on the side, a tribute to the railroad's first chairman, who passed away in June, 2024, at the age of 102.
MARC F9PH #83 leads a three car local across Sunnyside Ave in Beltsville MD on the evening of July 11, 1991. The lush forest to the left of the train was about to be cleared for the Metrorail's new Greenbelt maintenance facility within the next year or so.

Blue Ridge Southern's afternoon local T73 heads out of Canton with a small consist of cars for the various industries in Waynesville. Power for the train is WAMX GP39-2 #3939, which started life as Deleware and Hudson 7606. It would later become Boston and Maine (Guilford) 366 and Union Pacific 2745/1245 before ending up on the BLU.
I was out in the mountains for the weekend attending orientation at my future home, Western Carolina University. You can certainly expect to see more BLUposting in the future, as it is the closest railroad to the university. The mountains are so incredibly cool, and offer endless opportunities for photos that I can't wait to experience.
the dog and I went to the local nature park for a walk decided to bring the camera this is was my favorite capture (besides the ones my dog... of course)
Following right on Keolis/MBTA 1705's block is CSXT local B731 seen coming through the turnout from Main 1 to single track here at MP 14.8 on the MBTA Franklin Line, the former New Haven Midland Division. The Readville to Framingham turn job is unusually light today with only two cars trailing their pair of GP40-2Ss. Norwood Central is still graced with a tidy little brick suburban station that was built by the NH in 1899.
Buried beneath the snow in the foreground is CSXT's East Walpole Industrial Track, the two mile long surviving stub of the old New Haven Wrentham Branch that into the 1960s was still a thru route to Valley Falls, RI.

We were sitting enjoying the view over the lake when a lovely White-plumed Honeyeater appeared on the drinking fountain and proceeded to slate it's thirst. In the time that it took to go to the car to get a camera, this bully had disposed of the Honeyeater and taken over the fountain.

Yet another fresh Spring day.....same spot....more green!....I think this record of these will last some time yet
Montana Rail Link’s Livingston Local is dropping down the west slope after cresting the 5702 foot summit of Bozeman on MRL’s 2nd Subdivision Mainline through the 3,015 foot long tunnel that was built by the Northern Pacific Railway in 1945. The little train is seen in a snow squall west of Chestnut near MP 131 winding along beside Rocky Creek in the valley they share with Interstate 90.
The MRL has operated the former NP mainline across its namesake state since 1987 when it entered into a long term lease of the line between Billings, MT and Sand Point, ID from NP successor Burlington Northern. While the majority of traffic on the MRL consists of overhead BNSF trains they do operate a pair of daily manifests of their own and assorted locals serving line side industries across the state.
On this cold snowy day the local is in command of a GP35 number 404. This locomotive most assuredly feels right at home in conditions like this as it was built new for the Rio Grande in January 1965 as DRGW 3043 and spent its first three decades crossing the Rockies and the likes of legendary routes such as the Moffatt Tunnel, Tennessee Pass, and Soldier Summit. And though it looks fine in Washington Companies blue paint I sure would prefer it in black and Grande gold!

Although it was the same unit, I feel pretty lucky to catch a HH twice within a week. P75 returns to Andrews Yard from the C-Line in Cayce, SC. March 28, 2020.
A GP39v and GP30m work the interchange tracks with UP at Fremont, Nebraska. Built as an L&N GP35 and rebuilt by VMV at Paducah, KY, into a GP39v (V for VMV) it's been heavily modified for PTC antennas. The BN nose logo still looks good after all these years.
This little tree is 50 yards from my front door so when a blizzard hit this morning, it was easy to jump out and grab this shot

The large building on the right is the Echo 24 apartments, taking its name from the fact that it was built on the site of the first printing works and offices of the local newspaper, the Sunderland Echo.
