Freight Cars on a siding awaiting pickup.
As with many small towns, the railroad tracks pass right through the middle of downtown Moundville where you can see, touch, feel the steel, wood, gravel of the railway. In the days before trucking, UPS, Fedex...the way a town received goods was by local trains stopping at the little towns, providing transportation and bringing goods and mail. This was the main transportation artery from the town to the outside world. Now the trains, often just little spur lines, only serve as transportation for large heavy materials. There is a huge timber processing plant in Moundville that is serviced by the tracks

HEALTHY LIVING for me involves making much of our family food from local ingredients. And you can't get any more local than the Evans Cherry ( a sour cherry) tree 20 feet from my back door! Today we picked the fruit and within 2 hours turned into jam. Making my own healthy jam means I'm in control of the ingredients .... and I'm supposed to be in control of how much of it I eat :) ... Sometimes HEALTHY LIVING can be difficult!
for the Macro Monday challenge HEALTHY LIVING
One of those evenings.
I missed a few cracking sunsets last week by not paying attention (and being lazy) so last night the hint of a decent sky made me head up the hill to my usual haunt on these occassions. Unfortunately, by the time I drove the few miles to the loch the sky had more or less cleared and this was about the best I managed.

CSXT L13626 is westbound on the Hanover Subdivision passing a local foundry in Hanover PA on April 26, 2023. Lead unit #2756 is an EMD GP38-2 originally manufactured for the Penn Central Transportation Co in March 1973 and was numbered 8148 which it carried over to Conrail three years later. June 1, 1999 it went to CSX in the split merger between Norfolk Southern and CSX. It was then numbered 2756 and received the then current YN2 scheme as seen here. To this date, 2756 is the only GP38-2 that remains in this paint scheme making it a rare bird on the CSXT roster.
Immediately behind the power is a cut of DODX flatcars containing Bradley armored tanks destined for points west via Hagerstown yard.

This little guy lives in our back yard, and visits our bird feeders at least as often as the local bird populations. Today, he was competing with a Steller's Jay for peanuts.

A CSXT local job from Jessup Yard is about to shove back into the industrial park in Beltsville MD at milepost 28 sometime in 1989. The gentleman holding the dog is a mystery but he stayed out of the way while the crew did their work.
GP35 4386 was built in July 1964 for the B&O as their 3546. A few years after this photo was taken the unit was converted to a road slug and renumbered to 2282.

I'm planning a project trying to catch the local landscape within a 15 minute radius from where I live. Yesterday was a dry run of the very goal, when I stopped at the road just to get out off the car to get started. I pointed the camera along the road in front of me realising that the real object was down the road where the wooded hillside offered an interesting view, unfortunately my shoes were more adapted to walk on a well paved sidewalk than a live wood. So further explorartion of the nature will have to wait until I dress a bit more appropriately. At least I have a great destination to head for next time. Shot with my Leica MP on Kodak Tri-X 400, a good combination for further exploration.
G08 rolls north at Macon Junction as it departs Brosnan Yard in Macon, Georgia. This train is a daily rock local turn that serves the mines around Postell on the NS Madison District.
NS's Allentown based local HA13 sits in the Bethlehem Layoff Track next to an empty river yard. To my knowledge, HA13 was a weekday local that ran pull-pull from Allentown Yard to the Buckeye Pipeline Co. in Emmaus, back east to Bethlehem and then back to Allentown Yard. My best assumption on this day was that the train outlawed here the day before and was left to spend the weekend on the layoff until the next crew would arrive Monday morning.
A Via Cristoforo Colombo é a artéria principal de Riomaggiore, a povoação mais a sudeste do Parque Nacional das Cinque Terre, na região da Ligúria, Itália. Esta via pedonal liga a parte alta da vila à marina, estando ladeada por edifícios característicos da arquitetura vernacular liguriana, conhecidos como "case-torri" (casas-torre). As fachadas estreitas e altas destas edificações são pintadas em tons polícromos de terracota, ocre e amarelo, e foram historicamente projetadas para otimizar o espaço limitado entre a montanha e o mar Mediterrâneo. A Via Cristoforo Colombo é o centro da vida social e comercial da localidade, refletindo a dinâmica entre a preservação das tradições locais e a forte presença do turismo internacional. Classificada como Património Mundial da UNESCO desde 1997, Riomaggiore transformou a sua economia, outrora baseada na viticultura em socalcos e na pesca, num dos destinos mais visitados da Riviera Italiana.
Via Cristoforo Colombo is the main thoroughfare in Riomaggiore, the southeasternmost village in the Cinque Terre National Park in the Liguria region of Italy. This pedestrian street connects the upper part of the village to the marina and is lined with buildings characteristic of Ligurian vernacular architecture, known as “case-torri” (tower houses). The narrow, tall facades of these buildings are painted in polychrome shades of terracotta, ochre, and yellow, and were historically designed to optimize the limited space between the mountain and the Mediterranean Sea. Via Cristoforo Colombo is the center of the town's social and commercial life, reflecting the dynamic between the preservation of local traditions and the strong presence of international tourism. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997, Riomaggiore has transformed its economy, once based on terraced viticulture and fishing, into one of the most visited destinations on the Italian Riviera.
Wisconsin Central GP7 1505 had the Schiller Park local L501 heading home as it rolled south through Buffalo Grove in 2001.
The 1501 was built by GMD in 1951 as Algoma Central 157 and was obtained when the WC took over the AC in 1995. The short high hood was chopped when it was repainted for the Wisconsin Central and scrapped by the Canadian National when they took over the WC.
As passengers wait for the next train, CSX Richmond-based local, D794 passes the station, headed north on the former RF&P mainline to its next stop. This was the only CSX train I saw moving on this morning -- everything else was Amtrak.
Local poet and artist Jacob Christiano was spreading his message at the Saturday Morning Market today.
When local traffic is light you can shoot from the center of the street to get a straight on shot of First United Methodist church.

A late L318 heads South out of the siding at South Deshler after having run around its train. The local had been in Leipsic all morning and through the eclipse waiting on a northbound and numerous southbounds before getting a gap to head North and run around in the early evening.

In the midst of a COVID lockdown here in Sydney I've been exploring my local area while getting some exercise. This was a misty morning at Berry's Creek near Wollstonecraft station. Shot on Eora nation land.
CSX local train A758 makes their way through the historic district of small-town Conyers, Georgia on a dreary winter's day. The train has just finished its work at the Sweetheart Industrial Complex and is making its way down the seldom-used Georgia Subdivision, back towards their headquarters in Lithonia.
This weeks theme = Local wildlife.
You can't get more local than this!
I'm not sure what type of bird it is, but for the last 3 weeks it has been attacking it's reflection in our living room window. Tap tap tap tap tap...... gets a bit annoying..
