I'm in New Orleans for a few days at a trade show. Had a muffaletta from the Central Market for lunch. Dinner was at Vincents, a local Italian place off the beaten path. Had to take the trolley to get there. Tomorrow probably will be barbecue oysters from Drago's. Can you tell New Orleans is all about the food?

With all the recent rain, I figured that the forecast overnight drop in temperature would lead to some mist formation so when I opened the curtains to the expected foggy morning I was ready to head straight out to the local woods. It's not the easiest spot for photography as the heavy undergrowth through most of it makes it hard to find an uncluttered composition, but I love this view across the brook. Unfortunately the fog didn't quite make it into the woods - maybe next time.
After what seemed like weeks of horrible overcast today was actually a sunny day. I took advantage and found the Cass Lake local passing through Fisher on its Monday trip east.

Weather forecasts not conclusive, so decided to go local in case it turned out unsuitable. We shouldn't have worried the light was great and didn't cloud over until early afternoon. This was our first stop 'The Pool' in Melbourne South Derbyshire.
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.

Considered the first Anglo settler in the Poudre Valley, Antoine Janis built a log cabin in 1858 to accommodate his Lakota wife, First Elk Woman, and their growing family. The valley had few inhabitants; Janis was the first to make it his home.
Janis had come to the area with his father as a youth and fallen in love with the valley, determined to settle here as soon as he could. After he married First Elk Woman, they trapped up and down the river, interacted with itinerant tribes, raised their sons, and lived peaceably. Janis was fluent in his wife’s tribal language and was friends with a number of tribal chiefs. Year upon year, the Janis family went quietly about their business.
Meanwhile, the U.S. government was intent on subduing all the tribes who had occupied the lands west of the Mississippi River before the westward emigration and confining them to reservations. In 1877, the government succeeded; tribes were dispersed to a number of designated areas.
This decree caused considerable consternation among the French-Canadian trappers who had married Lakota women, for the men were told that in order to keep the land they had claimed in the valley, they had to divorce their wives and abandon their families. The women and children were to go to the reservation; landowners had to stay behind. To a man, with one notable exception, the husbands chose to follow the decree.
The exception was Antoine Janis. Rather than divorce his wife of many years and desert his family, he moved to the reservation, where he lived out his life among the people of his wife’s tribe. Late in life he recorded his memories.

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.

The Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve is a protected area consisting of a wetland area approximately 70 km (43 mi) east of Darwin in the Northern Territory of Australia. It lies within the Adelaide and Mary River Floodplains, which is an Important Bird Area.
It attracts a wide range of local and migratory water birds and other wildlife, including a large population of agile wallabies and one of the largest populations of snakes within Australia (including the Water Python and Death Adder), and includes a several raised observation platforms.
Saltwater Crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) and Freshwater Crocodiles (Crocodylus johnstoni) can be seen at Fogg Dam all year around.
Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve is only a 45-minute drive from Darwin. It is one of the most accessible places in the Northern Territory (NT) to experience spectacular wetlands and wildlife throughout the year.
CN local L501 was sporting a former Wisconsin Central GP40 as its motor on a nice autumn afternoon in 2007. At the time, WC power was still pretty common, but the handwriting was on the wall that the good stuff was on the way out.
With dynamic brakes howling, the eastbound Cadiz Local descends Ash Hill, CA on the BNSF's Needles Subdivision with a solid set of six recently rebuilt EMD GP60M's, now classified as GP60M-3's by the railroad. It may not be the red and silver warbonnet they once wore, but they are looking mighty sharp in this paint scheme.
Copper Basin Railway's local train to the UP interchange at Magma, AZ approaches its destination, an environment in stark contrast to the copper-bearing mountains it's more famous for. This was a Saturday train but it typically runs 1-3 times a week; in this case, the train departed the CBRY shops near Hayden at 6am and joined the former SP Magma line at Ray Junction, located near a small blip of civilization referred to as Kelvin.
The crew will work the interchange for about an hour before returning to Ray Junction with three cars.
A dull wet day means less folk and more birdlife, so off we trot to a favourite local site and area, not guaranteed so it's a case of get down settle in cover-up and be quiet, it's a waiting game.
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.

With a colorful lash-up and a very healthy train, the Lima South Local heads down the former DT&I and crosses the former PRR at Sugar Street.
The BNSF Buck Local with GP38M No. 2828 in the lead makes its way back to Longmont CO From Highland on a beautiful spring afternoon.
