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
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.

Cooking along at 40, the logan local is on the eastbound return trip from Sappington with a pair of standard cabs and a few boxcars in tow. The classic elevator in Willow Creek perfectly frames the power in a very narrow sliver of time and space.
Not quite as wild as in Down Under, but disturbing enough in civilised Hertfordshire. It actually is the policy of the National Trust, owner of these woods, to keep them as natural as possible which is a difficult task as the woods are open to the public. So, you watch out for branches that are about to fall or have already broken off the tree. Photographically speaking, this is wunderbar. Leica M Mono, Voigtlander CS 2.2/50.

Union Pacific’s West Local traverses the Rocky Spur above an eastbound coal train tied down in the siding at Rocky, Colorado, on January 27, 1998. Power for the local is Rio Grande GP30 No. 3003 and Southern Pacific (former Cotton Belt) GP40-2 No. 7264.
On one of my weekend wanderings after moving to Texas in 1979, I found this geep-powered local tied down somewhere in Shreveport. I don't remember where in Shreveport; it was kind of a confusing place with tracks in all directions. I always thought the small numbers under the cab on KCS locos were odd.

My new article is now live on substack "Keeping it Local"
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.

CN 8952 pays homage to the fallen Grand Trunk, as the now grimy GM is seen working in the yard in Truro this afternoon. This was the last CN Heritage Unit I hadn't shot in one way or another, so I can officially cross it off the bucket list...not that I overly cared. The crew of the recently reinstated afternoon shift 516 would go on to switch in the yard for the next hour or so before heading east on the Bedford Sub to switch a couple customers, once VIA 14 was east of town.

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.
Camera: Rollei 35
Lens: Tessar f/3.5 40 mm
Film: Fuji Acros II 100, rated @ ISO 100
Exposure: 1/30 sec and f/3.5, hand-held
Film developed and scanned by Foto Brell, Bonn
Edited under Adobe Lightroom
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.

This is a re-edit of an image I took back in 2016. These two ladies were on the rooftop park in downtown KC. I was shooting around them minding my own business when they approached and asked for their picture to be taken. From that point on, I knew I had free range to snap away as I walked the perimeter of this little hidden gem of a park.
Hope you enjoy the re-edit.

Norfolk Southern C17 shoves a lengthy string of tankers into the yard at Mingo Terminal, located in Mingo Junction, OH. Adding as a backdrop is the now idled Mingo Junction Steel Works, also referred to as Steubenville South. This along with many other vacant industries scatter the embankments of the Ohio River and gives a sad site into the once mighty industrial economy which fueled this region.
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.
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).

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.
I captured this image local to my home. Experimenting with different settings and POV at sunrise.

Lautoka No.19 - built by Hudswell Clarke in 1914. It worked at Fiji's sugar mills until 1960 and returned to the UK in 2012.
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.
