While not surprised, I was saddened last week when it was announced that the BNSF would acquire the Montana Rail Link (MRL). I made a few trips to visit the railroad, usually with Mike Danneman, and quickly became a fan. The big attractions were vintage locomotives, friendly employees and superb scenery.
On September 24, 2007, the Paradise Local has just left its namesake town and is crossing the Clark Fork River behind geeps 118 and 131. Photo by Joe McMillan, Paradise, Montana.
Plenty of Water Dragons alongside the river. Lovely, patient, co-operative creatures that see you...run onto a sunny log...pause n' pose while you get your shot....then let you check your image... then (and only then) run away.
If only they breathed fire they'd be perfect.
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.

For the last week and a half I have been resting a painful heel (I have plantar fasciitis), but yesterday my patience ran out and Shirl and I took a short visit to the RSPB reserve at Old Moor.
On our way home just as we arrived back in the village I spotted a pair of Buzzards in a farmers field. They were stationary and after getting a bagful of distant photos of them stood still I decided to leave the car and walk down a track to get a closer view. That had the desired effect of getting me a little closer and of course my presence meant that they moved further down the field. In doing so I was able to get a few decent in flight photos.
Behind our back garden there is a field and at the top of that are a few large trees. Buzzards nest in there and virtually every time we venture into the garden we hear or see at least one buzzard circling away. I wonder whether this was one of them.
Santa Fe’s CF&I local passes the Union Depot in Pueblo, Colorado. Today’s train has twelve cars for the Colorado Fuel & Iron plant just south of this location.
The people in my small hometown in Bavaria are used to naming the local swans and storks. My previous posts featured Tristan & Isolde (after the famous Wagner opera) with their offspring. The predecessor couple was Sissi & Franz (after the Austrian imperial couple). The stork couple is named Harry & Meghan 😊
Can you tell whether this is Harry or Meghan?

The most photographed corner in Markyate, Hertfordshire. It is truly a central location. Straight ahead, the pharmacy (and, farther away, the "fish and chips" place); to the left, a pub; behind, the bakery.
One last image before a I go AWOL for a few days.
Each year on Christmas Eve the local Fire Brigade take Santa on a cruise around the local streets in a vintage fire truck. Santa and his Elves give out lollies to the children while all the adults get to have a chat and admire the truck.
I did feel a bit sorry for Santa in his suit in 33°C (91°F) heat!
I will look in occasionally but won't be around much until at least Friday.
Best Wishes to all!
LOCK-DOWN
For the last month because our health is not at all good, we have been on a lock-down. We are fortunate that we have had relatives and good friends who have helped us in our time of need. Going to shops, the pharmacy and our local hospital to pick up vital stores and medicines.
So to everyone a big Thank you and a message of ‘Keep Safe’ to you all and your families.
I show this series of photos to show that we are keeping busy, listening to music, reading, painting and my latest venture into cooking via video link with my Granddaughters. We made a coffee and walnut cake last week but I ate it before I remembered to get the camera out.
I’m currently listening the Beatles ‘All you need is Love” and it seems very appropriate to the occasion.
Best wishes to all
Patrick
ps These went back to our neighbours who have been brilliant.
MgB HGe 4/4 ii #4 l with Glacier Express livery leads a Disentis bound regional service over the Dieni viaduct. On the last weekend of January there was still a fair bit of snow on the east slope of the Oberalpass but sadly there has been far too little snow in Switzerland this year.
Montana Rail Link's 265, 131 and 127 reverse back into Logan with some petroleum wagons from CHS Logan Petroleum Terminal.
During our visit, these three engines were together for all the Logan local work, spanning from Logan, down the 6th subdivision to Alder (open as far as Twin Bridges) and branching at Sappington to Harrison, where they typically run on a Tuesday.
