Out and about in my local area to capture some frost and misty scene's.
The mist had disappeared in this scene in Weston Corbett but more earlier photo's to follow.
First of all: Happy New Year to the audience! We had some interesting weather conditions the last couple of days; too bad no sun and blue skies, but some minus temps and some winds did create a few nice artifacts over the nature and vegetation, where the winds had access....Thanks and ALL the BEST ,health and peace for the upcoming year. Thanks, Udo.
The N&W Romulus area local with GP9 644 is about to pass the tower enroute to switch the industries west of Romulus, Michigan in May 1976.
It’s surprising what you can find close to home. Last year, I took a quiet walk around the Piccotts End and Hemel Hempstead area and spent some time exploring the countryside. I’m really pleased with the photos I took—they’re a lovely reminder of how much inspiration is right on our doorstep.
Local buzzards have been using the same nest for the past 10 years and this week this seasons surviving chick fledged.
BNSF's East local out of Greybull Wyoming heads south through Manderson led by ex Santa Fe SD40-2 1880.
The local would deliver hoppers to three industries in Worland; Miller Coors barley elevator, Black Hills bentonite and the Wyoming Sugar company. They'd then head for Lucerne and exchange 13 bentonite clay empties, for 9 loads at the Wyo-Ben plant.
CSX's Hanover and Hagerstown locals were exchanging traffic in Highfield, once an important Western Maryland location in 2003.
A trio of SD50s had things well in hand on a dreary day as another SD50 and a GE stand by.
Last Sunday, I had a great opportunity to capture images inside a terrain with many young born sheeps. I like the attached a lot, as it creates some smile just when watching. Looking at local weather here today, just the opposite is happening. But there is not bad weather, just...All good weekend ahead. Thanks, Udo.
Yesterday morning had been good conditions to shoot the moon, as it did get some sun rise sky illumination with still some blues from the snow and forrest. Good remaining week. Thanks, udo.
A D&RGW GP30 is bathed in golden rays of sunlight at Rio Grande’s Transfer yard in Ogden, Utah the afternoon of Feb. 12, 1994. The 3008 was assigned to work a local to Great Salt Lake Minerals on the SP main line at Little Mountain.

English:
Where the three city hills meet is the Piazza del Campo, often referred to as Il Campo. Both locals and tourists are magically drawn to it. With its balance and its shell-shaped curvature that harmoniously balances out the unevenness of the floor, it is one of the most beautiful places in the world.
Deutsch:
Dort, wo sich die drei Stadthügel treffen, befindet sich die Piazza del Campo, der oft nur als Il Campo genannte Platz. Sowohl Einheimische als auch Touristen werden von ihm magisch angezogen. Er gehört mit seiner Ausgewogenheit und mit seiner muschelförmigen, die Unebenheiten des Bodens harmonisch ausgleichenden Krümmung zu den schönsten Plätzen der Welt.

Maximo Fernandez
Localidad que se encuentra al Oeste del Partido de Bragado a unos 21 km. de la ciudad cabecera, en la traza del Ferrocarril ex-línea D. F. Sarm...iento. Se accede por camino de tierra desde la Ruta Provincial N° 46 desde el este o por la 65 desde el oeste. Recuerda a Don Máximo Fernández, donante de las tierras donde se construyó la estación ferroviaria.
El señor Máximo Fernández compró al Fisco seis leguas cuadradas de campo en dos mil pesos oro. Allí construyó la Estancia “La Matilde”, uno de los mejores establecimientos agrícola-ganaderos del Oeste de la Provincia de Buenos Aires. En septiembre de 1893 el Ferrocarril del Oeste inaugura la estación. Por esta época se comienza la producción tambera, cremería y criadero de cerdos, contribuyendo así al desarrollo económico del pueblo formado a su alrededor. Luego por problemas económicos vende la estancia y se marcha hacia el exterior del país.
La Estancia es comprada por los Salaberry-Bercetche en 1904 , quienes levantan la estancia introduciendo forestales, aserradero, usina, una escuela propia, una capilla Neogótica, Panadería y un zoológico con animales exóticos. Cuenta la leyenda que la hija del cuidador de los leones fue decapitada de un zarpazo por una leona y el fantasma anda apareciendo por la capilla…
En 1942 venden la estancia a Don Francisco Suárez Zabala (el inventor del conocido producto medicinal “Geniol”). A partir de ese momento la propiedad empezó a llamarse “Montelén”. Tuvo éxito en su inicio con la instalación del vivero más importante del país, pero al fallecer su dueño la situación económica decae y la estancia se reduce. Actualmente, la principal actividad es la agricultura y ganadería.
En la década del 70 un tornado hizo desastres en la capilla del Sagrado Corazón y en la escuela dejando sus ruinas en un espeso monte. Había un hotel que también quedo destruido y abandonado.
En cuanto a la estación de Máximo Fernández corresponde al Ferrocarril Domingo Faustino Sarmiento de la red ferroviaria argentina y se encuentra a 232 kilómetros al oeste de la estación Once. Trenes Argentinos Operadora Ferroviaria presta servicio de pasajeros una vez por semana entre Bragado, Realicó y General Pico, teniendo parada en esta estación sólo en forma facultativa, es decir, el tren sólo para si hay algún pasajero que desea subir o bajar. La estación se encuentra en ruinas, no siendo jurisdicción de la empresa de transporte. Se ubica entre las estaciones de La Limpia y San Emilio.
La localidad Contaba con 4 habitantes (INDEC, 2010), lo que representa un gran descenso del 90% frente a los 43 habitantes (INDEC, 2001) del censo anterior. En mi visita del 2015 pude observar que el almacén se encuentra funcionando, que la panadería abandonada fue ocupada por una persona que estaba realizando labores de huerta y a unas personas construyendo un par de viviendas, La escuela N° 2 está funcionando y se encuentra en perfecto estado.

Local spiders have kindly tethered the budding daffodils so they won't blow away.

One of Tiverton’s oldest pubs: The White Horse is recorded in local histories as existing by at least 1643 on Gold Street, making it one of the earliest surviving pubs in the town alongside places like the Angel Hotel and Half Moon.
The building has evolved over the centuries. There is local tradition that the inn, in its current form, was built around 1835, though the exact date isn’t firmly documented.

I was coming back from a work meeting on this particular late summer afternoon when I caught sight of a headlight up ahead alongside US 20 east of Dyersville. It turned out to be the CN local L565, the Dubuque to Manchester turn. The crew works industries in a number of towns along the route. Here they were just starting a pickup at Innovative Ag Services on the upper right. Western Dubuque Biodiesel is on the upper left. They've held onto two cars of lumber that will be spotted at the next town over in Dyersville so that move will be easier. GTW 4919 and IC 3115 were the power assigned for the moment to the Dubuque area locals.
This spot is very close to the infamous "Field of Dreams" movie filming site here, still home to the original field made for the movie, and another fine crop of Iowa corn is starting to show signs that harvest time is coming. No idea if there were any ghost players roaming about in those rows though...
I often take the Dubuque local trains for granted, but typically they have some of the best power in the Dubuque area on any given day, at least if you like CN Geeps with paint of their original owners. (Well, typically a pair of Geeps anyway, sometimes it can be other models of EMDs or GEs from the CN family for a few days at a time when that's all that is available). A morning crew at Dubuque uses them to switch the yard and go over to the Illinois side of the river to the industries the CN serves there, plus the BN interchange. And then this evening crew works to Manchester and back, where they leave cars for the Cedar Rapids branch and bring back any outbounds from that area for connection with the mainline trains M337 and M338. This chance encounter was a good excuse to stop and get a couple of frames before we each moved on in our respective directions - the L567 to Dyersville and points west, and me back to Dubuque.

I'm not sure what train this is but I saw the same power doing the same thing two days in a row so I suspect it's a local transfer job of some sort. At any rate, this pair of UP Deuces is heading north out of Fort Worth and soon to go over the Trinity River. 5/18/18
Luuk Heis asked if this is possible...well I liked the way it sounded but it is based on the fact that I think that globally you can go local as in locovores who try to eat local produce. And thanks to people like Barbara Kingsolver the idea is catching on more and more..We eat at restaurants that try to use local produce..less energy costs in terms of transporting the items...not produced by AgriBusiness but local family farmers...more organic,less pesticides,less antibiotics in the chickens etc.
Actually, tastes better...

To be honest, I not quite sure what is this instruments call... i had been searching through the internet the conclusion I could get is this might call "Garnbus". Anyway, this is type of Chordophones~
I like to document the scene so even with a long hood forward and high sun this rather unique signal arrangement was just too cool to pass up!
After making the nearly 64 mile trip south to Dorena for some industry work, Florida East Coast Railway local 905 is starting back to Bowden Yard in Jacksonville. Running long hood forward is FEC 508, an EMD GP38-2 built new for the road in Apr. 1978 and still adorned with the simplified blue dip scheme and classic large Hurricane logo. They are passing this interesting intermediate signal in the middle of the 20,500 ft Dorena siding as they approach the Otis Hunter Road crossing at MP 63.8 on the Flagler Subdivision mainline north of the town of4th Bunnell.
The mainline here dates from 1925 and is known as the Moultrie Cutoff. It was constructed as a nearly straight arrow higj speed line from St. Augustine to Bunnell that eliminated the long dog leg out to East Palatka via the original mainline dating from 1885.
