I have quite a lot of photos to upload over the next couple of weeks, and some early dawn shots were the light was really special.
Thank you all for your recent comments, and I'm sorry if I've not been able to comment s as much as I'd like to.
Pan Am Railways local freight DO-1 is crossing the Saco River from Saco into Biddeford amongst the large textile mills with a single GP40 for power. The vast mills on Factory Island in Saco and the mills on the Biddeford side of the river are currently in the process of being redeveloped into a combination of residential and business units. DO-1, based out of Rigby Yard in South Portland, does all the local work on the main line, Saco Industrial Track and Portsmouth Branch. Biddeford once hosted a local freight of its’ own, known as the “Biddeford Switcher”. Assigned power was one of the B&M’s 44 tonners to work the mills. If anybody out there in the Flickrsphere has photos of the Biddeford switcher working, PLEASE post them!

Nimbin
Location in New South Wales
Nimbin is a village in the Northern Rivers area of the Australian state of New South Wales, approximately 30 km (19 mi) north of Lismore, 33 km (21 mi) southeast of Kyogle, and 70 km (43 mi) west of Byron Bay.
Nimbin is notable for the prominence of its environmental initiatives such as permaculture, sustainability, self-sufficiency as well as the cannabis counterculture. Writer Austin Pick described his initial impressions of the village this way: "It is as if a smoky avenue of Amsterdam has been placed in the middle of the mountains behind frontier-style building facades. ... Nimbin is a strange place indeed."[2]
Nimbin has been described in literature and mainstream media as 'the drug capital of Australia', 'a social experiment' and 'an escapist sub-culture'. Nimbin has become an icon in Australian cultural history with many of the values first introduced there by the counterculture becoming part of modern Australian culture.[3]
This sharp-dressed cat has been protecting this store for a long time - he's the official local Auto Zone mascot. I learned today his name is Oreo.
The Aubrac is a region of desert high moors in Auvergne (central France), sparsely inhabited and ill–suited for agriculture as the layer of soil is thin, and rock is almost always there. For centuries, it has been mostly used for the grazing of cows, and in particular the blond–haired local breed, the Aubrac.
The path to Compostela crosses the Aubrac, which will lead us in upcoming uploads to interest ourselves in places designed to welcome and shelter the Mediæval pilgrims who were obviously at risk when crossing these vast, desert country.
The village of Aubrac was built ex nihilo in the middle of the moors by a lord from Flanders from 1120. It was primarily meant to serve as a refuge for pilgrims on their way to Compostela. The Romanesque church, built with basalt stones, is fortified and its bell tower still contains the “Bell of the Lost Ones”, the one that was rung during snowstorms or foggy days, in order to guide the pilgrims towards the village.
BNSF 8612 switches the west leg of the elevator track at Cylon spotting corn empties. Of all the possible power I expected to catch on the local this was pretty far down the list. It didn't last long on this job so I was glad to see it. January 23, 2006.
Last make over in MRVC, the ICF manufactured Bombardier rake in form of Dahanu bound service coming to schedule halt at Umroli. These new rakes touch speed of 110 Kmph in between Virar and Dahanu Road.
...restaurant.
Our local is offering take-away food at discounted prices in order to keep their business running.
As a fun thing, if you buy a lunch or two, you get a free toiletpaper rooll.
Which we all know is considered hard currency nowadays.
A colourful mix of blue, yellow, white and green makes the blue tit one of our most attractive and most recognisable garden visitors. In winter, family flocks join up with other tits as they search for food

Y164-13 rolls west, past he signals at St Denis, with a pair of slugs, then heads back east on Track 2, preparing to go work Sherwan Williams
local guy. I have lived here over 30yrs. I have seen SO many lives disintegrate on this corner.. it's not all glitz & glamour. Not everyone gets a shiny new condo.
Nancy & Will always danced when Connie & the Boyz played their favorite. Nancy died this afternoon. We would have preferred she was still dancing.

Soo Line local racing northward about to pass under the Highway 175 overpass (use to be) as it nears Van Dyne. You can see the C&NW mainline to the left. At this date it looks pretty good with deep ballast.
UP #5078 leads the El Segundo Local through South Central on former Pacific Electric rails towards the massive Chevron refinery in El Segundo.
Over half a century ago, this was a part of Pacific Electric's mainline between Los Angeles and Long Beach. The fastest and busiest route on the PERy system, the Long Beach Line was a four-track mainline between downtown Los Angeles and Watts.
The Pacific Electric met its demise in 1961 like many other interurbans across the nation. Southern Pacific took over its freight operations shortly after, and the parts of the interurban were resurrected as light rail lines in the 1990s.
But that's a far cry from what was probably Los Angeles' most well-established transit agency.
