The day before I caught this pair in better weather on G010, they were working local Y106. Seen here with 10 cars in tow, the two ex Conrail units make easy work of the short train working through the dip at CH 147.

It's nearly 22:00, but the suns still plenty high this far north and west in the central time zone. The plan was to find a hotel in Williston before continuing onto Montana the next morning. Hunger led us to Culvers on the west side of town, only to find a pair of BN green 40's putting together a local. Dinner got put on hold for a short chase to Trenton, ND as the sun went behind the horizon.
Montana Rail Link's Helena Local with a matching pair of SD40-2XR's threads its way eastbound along the Missouri River and through Lombard Canyon on a gorgeous summer afternoon. The local would normally traverse the canyon in the morning, but work windows had the local departing Helena in the afternoon. There are few places I would rather spend an afternoon than at this spot on a beautiful Spring, Summer, or Fall afternoon.

CSXT Middleboro based local B727 (now officially known as L007) led by GP40-2 6237 (blt. Feb. 1979 as BO 4335 in Chessie System paint) and two sisters are switching on the Myles Standish Industrial Lead. They will spot one reefer at Americold and pull one from Reinhart Foodservice at the end of track before coming back here to work the busy New England Waste Disposal transfer station whose lead track is in the foreground. This branch is accessed from Attleboro Junction at MP 8.6 on the Middleboro Secondary a bit over a half mile behind me here.
The Middleboro Sub is strange in that it is owned by MassDOT and dispatched and maintained by Mass Coastal, but CSX still operates it and serves the customers as the direct corporate successor of CR, PC, NH, and all the way back to the Old Colony Railroad. In fact this particular segment of line here on the Myles Stabdish was opened in 1836 by OCRR predecessor Taunton Branch Railroad making it one of the oldest rail routes in New England. Becoming a mainline for the Old Colony it survived as a secondary through route under New Haven aegis seeing its last passenger train pass shortly before the connection with the shoreline was severed at Mansfield in 1955 to make way for a highway grade separation project.. The tracks into Mansfield center lasted until about 1966 for freight service served from this end, but then were abandoned leaving only the present 1.5 mile stub still in use today up to the large industrial park.

Another shot at Franklin St similar to the one I took from the same perspective a few weeks ago. I was able to get the driver in better focus this time.

The scene at dog patch in Avila Beach, a paddle-out for a local surfer.
This is a Hawaiian funeral tradition that has been adopted by mainland surfers to honor and say their goodbyes to our local surfers.

When I paddled-out for my colleague and surfer friend, it started like this one, with a semi-circle of surfers standing in front of our long boards. Photos were taken, then we broke apart and paddled out past the swell where we formed a circle on our boards and joined hands.
There we said our last goodbyes to Richard, I released his ashes into the ocean. Then we spread out 100 orchids over the area.
A simple paddle or surf back to shore and the ceremony was concluded.

GTW 4933 leads the L-501 with a 5 pack of bad ordered stack cars as it heads South at Buffalo Grove, IL.
While out chasing the 4014 deadhead move from California for a couple days we stumbled on many other interesting sights along the way following UP's former Los Angeles and Salt Lake mainline. Here we see a Las Vegas area local switching out the Lhoist North America plant at Arrolime located on a short lead off the Caliente Sub that branches west at MP C353.8 and crosses Hwy 91.
You just can't beat classic Armour Yellow SD40-2s in the high desert. Pure Uncle Pete right here.

D1022 Western Sentinel heads through Keyham in the Plymouth suburbs on 1-2-75
I lived in Keyham during 1978 and it still had a lot to offer. A goods yard that was still used, some ecs workings lay over here. The then daily goods to Devonport Dockyard often marshalled it's stock on the return journey.
This is a photo from my collection with the original photographer Anthony Coombes a local enthusiast. I hold the copyright on this one.

Day 6 of lockdown.
Ok, so this makes me smile ... a butcher shop with a sign in the window saying local meat, and the shop next door does dog grooming ... so how local is the meat :)))
As we sat enjoying a cold drink, this beautiful collared dove, drifted across our garden. Only he wasn't a collared dove.
Last night as we had drinks with friends he joined us twice along with a local hedgehog. Sadly my camera was at home.

Their so cute and there's three of them, EMD standard cabs not the other two trains in the picture....
Union Pacific's Arlington Local rests at the tie ups in the small yard all of two tracks at Arlington, the local team track can be seen just to the right of them with a chunk of plastic hoppers. Off to the left on the Los Angeles Mainline the coal train from posts prior starts to tie down their train as instructed by the dispatcher as a late Metrolink 410 heads for it final stop at Riverside.
