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...
FEC train 915 lifts six empty gondolas from the Matco Industries transload in Cocoa, FL. The power for today's train, SD40-2 716, is unusal as this job usually rates a single GP40-2.
These gondolas are loaded with aggregate down in Medley, FL and ride north on the head end of train 336 overnight. Once in City Point, 915 will snag these cars and swap emtpties for loads a short distance south here in Cocoa. 915 will then return the empties to City Point where they will ride the tail end of 335 back to Medley to repeat the cycle.
On this day, the 915 crew used 716, which was the trailing motor on 336. After completing their moves here and working Titusville, they would make a run north to New Symrna Beach and swap 716 for 714. 714 would then come back south and take 716's place in the trailing position for that night's 335.

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.

Camera: Rollei 35
Lens: Tessar f/3.5 40 mm

Photographically, the result was initially unsatisfactory, as the fine detail in the bark is missing. The camera was loaded with a film unsuitable for the scene and lighting conditions: too high in contrast and too low in sensitivity for the harsh backlight in the dark forest. Leaning against a tree allowed for an exposure of 1/30 second with the aperture wide open. However, the shape of the tree trunks against the illuminated background was brought out, which was what I was actually after.
After the UP took over the Rio Grande but before the San Luis & Rio Grande took over this section of track many of the locals were still handled by Rio Grande power. Such was the case in March of 01 when funky Rio Grande 3121 handled the days choses on the Antonito Local. Notice the upside 5 used as a two in the number board as well as the message appearing where the Mars light one was installed. It says "Hard work will set you free" There seems to be some truth to that. The bridge in the background crosses the Conejos River
This little fella so beautiful in the early spring sunlight @ peckham rye park..nature is enjoying the peace and less pollution around us with its beautiful sounds, some good has come out of this awful time we are in ...Nature will always survive & thrive..
Another shot of Silbury Hill. This shot is from a higher altitude and shows the top of the hill. The general public are not permitted to climb the hill, so the last time I saw the top was as a young child in the 1970's.

The locals who live around this small mountain have built shrines and erected crosses at the foot of this small range. Most likely it is a small cemetery. It is hard to see without trespassing on to their property. They even took it upon themselves to haul a cross up to the summit. Some recent wind storm must have blown it over though. All the years that I drove past here, it was always standing tall on the peak.
I revere this small mountain primarily because of the intricate texture that millennia of erosion have inscribed on its outer skin.
Today it blessed us with quickly changing light and dramatic rain clouds.

This is taken in the local art market in Antibes. I tried many things with frames...however not satisfied. I will appreciate suggestions for the frames especially for this picture.

I’ve always loved the film Local Hero, it has all the right ingredients for me. My love of Scotland, the gentle storyline, the dry quaint comedy, the magic moments and Mark Knopfler’s music (until the Mags hijacked the signature tune). So while staying in Glenfinnan when a local told me they filmed some of it on the beaches up passed Arisaig I needed no other excuse than to take a drive up there and have a look around. With Carla and the dogs stuck in the car as she didn’t like the look of big bulls in the adjacent field I had a little wander round this little bay with its view’s across to Eigg, Rum and Skye. A bit too bright for the photography I like, I still took a few snaps. Just before leaving I saw this old cobble now left to decay on the grass. It’s days of work and adventure now over it sit’s quietly weathering surrounded by such beauty. The first part I can relate to and I wish for the second.
Union Pacific SD40-2 No. 3649 leads a 14-car LUC57 local through Leamington Canyon near Lynndyl, Utah on Sept. 30, 1993.
In località Carrucana, nel comune di Martis, è possibile ammirare una foresta pietrificata che occupa ben 100 km. quadrati del territorio. La foresta risale al miocene inferiore, cioè a circa 20 milioni di anni fa, quando durante un'eruzione vulcanica le foreste si inabissarono nei laghi circostanti e, riempiti di cenere molto ricca di silicio, crearono il substrato ideale per il processo di fossilizzazione.
BNSF's Galesburg to Barstow and return local has always been an good one to keep an eye on. On this particular day, the L-CHI823 returns to Galesburg through Orion, IL with BNSF 2324 (GP38-2), BNSF 1374 (GP7u), BNSF 1478 (GP15-1), BNSF 2926 (GP39E), and EMDX 771 (GP38-2).

Z72_2818-Edit: The Bighorn Mountains in the background are just a frontal range. The primary range is behind this frontal range, and the highest mountain is Cloud Peak at 13,171 feet. The primary range can be seen from further back, like from the town of Sheridan.
BR Standard Class 4MT 2-6-4T 80072 approaches Bewdley station with a local Severn Valley service during a Matt Fielding photo charter.
After a quick pick-up in Logan, the local heads back to Bozeman with some loaded tanks. They'd wait here for a run through BNSF coke train before heading back east.
The fabulous local produce at Oyster Cove and surrounding areas is found in this beautiful old greengrocer's store. This is a sight you don't see too often these days. But unlike the supermarkets, who freeze and store their produce, all this wonderful fare is completely fresh and so much more tasty.

The St. John Local arrives at Grant Tower in Salt Lake City.
CSX SW1500 1129 had a former Family Lines transfer caboose and a Winchester and Western hopper rolling through Carroll Interlocking in Baltimore.
Built for the Louisville and Nashville by EMD in 1972, the 1129 was looking good in the "classic" CSX YN2 paint. After CSX was finished with it, the old thing would wind up working for the Wisconsin Central and would finish up in Canadian National paint.
CSXT local L063 (formerly known as DO-1) is on their way home to Rockingham Junction where the Portsmouth Branch meets the Portland Sub mainline with a lengthy train of empties from SEA-3 and Boise on the Newington Industrial Track. They are seen paused at about MP PMT5.1 on CSXT's Portsmouth Branch beyond the west end of the remains of the former Boston and Maine yard while the conductor makes a run into the trackside Dunkin before continuing their 10mph trip west.
Leading the train are MEC 517 and CSXT 2756. The former is a Pan Am blue GP40-2W blt. Apr. 1976 as CN 9660 and one of 20 acquired by Guilford a quarter century ago. Today it is one of a dwindling number of units CSXT inherited from Pan Am three and a half years ago that remain active. Even rarer is the trailing unit which is an EMD GP38-2 blt. Mar. 1973 for the Penn Central as PC 8148. It passed to Conrail and kept that number when later dressed in CR blue then came to CSXT at the split in 1999. Today it is the very last four axle unit on the roster wearing YN2 'bright future' paint and the last standard cab of any kind so dressed!
This particular stretch of track dates from 1840 and was originally the Boston to Portland mainline of the Eastern Railroad which was leased to the competing Boston and Maine in December 1883 then purchased it outright seven years later.
Note the new construction in the background. It is taking place on the North Mill Pond waterfront on former railroad land where the a crumbling three stall roundhouse and 65 ft turntable still survived until only a six or so months prior to this photo.

13065 LMS Hughes Crab 2-6-0 crossing Brooksbottom Viaduct on the East Lancashire Railway on Sunday 1st April 2018. The Horwich Mogul was running a local stopping service opposite visiting 60163, which hauled ‘express’ trains pausing at Bury, Rawtenstall, and Heywood only.
CSX Indianapolis Sub local J784 crosses the Great Miami River in Hamilton, Ohio with an SD40-2 leader.
The L519 Edson Sub local heads across the causeway at Wabamun Lake with a short train. With the Sundance Power Plant pretty much converted to natural gas fuel, a good chunk of traffic handled by the L519 (flyash from burning coal) has been dramatically reduced. With the lack of flyash traffic, the local only runs this far once a week, down from the 3 day a week service schedule of the past.
My daughter is hiding behind me in the far left of the image, apparently she did not like the horn on the 5367!
