My notes from this trip in 1994 had this down as a 'Reno Local', taken somewhere around Reno. However, I can't locate the exact place on maps.
Hair Ice
Hair ice is a rare type of ice formation where the presence of a particular fungus in rotting wood produces thin strands of ice which resemble hair or candy floss.
One of the first records of the phenomenon was made by Alfred Wegener (the discoverer of continental drift) in 1918. He observed a strange ice forming only on wet dead wood and proposed a theory that a specific fungi must be the catalyst for the smooth, silky hairs of ice.
How does hair ice form?
The conditions required for the formation of hair ice are extremely specific, hence the relative scarcity of sightings. To form, moist rotting wood from a broadleaf tree is required with the presence of moist air and a temperature slightly below 0 °C. It is generally confined to latitudes between 45°N and 55°N.
In 2015 the scientists Hofmann, Mätzler and Preuß determined the exact cause of the hair ice phenomenon, linking its formation to the presence of a specific fungus called Exidiopsis effusa.
They discovered that the presence of the fungus led to a process called 'ice segregation'. When water present in the wood freezes it creates a barrier that traps liquid between the ice and the pores of the wood. This creates a suction force which pushes water out of the pores to the edge of the ice surface where it freezes and extends outwards. As this repeats it pushes a thin 'hair' of ice out of the wood which is around 0.01 mm in diameter.
It is believed that an inhibitor present in the fungus allows the strands of ice to stabilise allowing the formation of the beautiful phenomena and allows the hair ice to keep its shape often for several hours.

Over 250 sightings of Coyote have been reported in Lincoln, Nebraska this year. Mostly on the East side of town. Must be more chances of food there.
One of two shot of my local area on a late afternoon,early last month.These are all about the low sunlight and clouds.
Pittsburgh line NS C42 enters the yard limits in Lewistown, PA as it begins its process of interchanging cars with the Lewistown, PA local seen on the left JVRR 2106 that sports PRR colors.
After meeting K808 at Fox, D707 heads east back to its home terminal of Lansing. Leading the train today is an SD70MAC-CW44AC combo with a freshly painted slug set tucked behind them. Seen here crossing the Thornapple River.

A northbound CSX local with a set of geeps crosses Mill Creek in Winton Place, Ohio just north of Queensgate yard in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.
Not quite halfway into its eastbound trip from Aberdeen to Willmar, L662 drifts downgrade at Marvin, SD, on the former Milwaukee Road transcontinental mainline.
Some of my neighbors wandering the streets .This was about 3 blocks form my house. Although I have a green belt behind my place , they seem to have adapted quite well to city life.

One gorgeous macaw, at the rain forest exotic enclosure at Central Park, NYC, shows some talents organizing his outfit right before a new show...
Pentax SMC Takumar 55mm, developed in Affinity Photo. This group of bushes is located right next to the parking lot at Piper's lagoon. I love the contrast of the white blossoms against the gnarly and lichen encrusted branches, but had not thought to try the Tak on it. In some ways it is the best results I have achieved to date, and these at the very end of the photoshoot when I was tired and ready to break my fast. Glad I stopped.
45 145 approaches the closed station site at Chacewater with what I have listed as a Penzance - Plymouth additional
Peaks were certainly not common on such short formations in the West Country, and the fact that it is mainly aircon Mk2s may indicate a half set being used on an out and back run to Plymouth
I bet the acceleration away from station stops was quite something
Dwarfed by the imposing flatirons to the west, the Buck Local trundles up the Buckwheat Branch at a leisurely 5 MPH. The lead unit has an interesting connection to home, being built as NKP 904 before being overhauled for Burlington Northern in the early 90s. Another detail for viewers with a keen eye is the right of way of the Moffat Tunnel subdivision directly above the unit and to the right, threading the flatirons and entering the tunnel district.

UP SD40N No. 1901 pulls the Cache Valley Local into the small town of Smithfield, Utah the morning of June 23, 2021. The LCG41C 23 has three loads of plastic pellets for Presto Products in Lewiston, Utah and two loads of corn for Franklin County Grain Growers in Preston, Idaho.
CN 2444 makes a surprise appearance on L581 after being left in Paris that night by A434 to help pinch hit for an ailing GP40-2W on 581.
I would say it was worth staying up late and being tired as hell all day at work today.
BNSF SD60M 1431 leads M-CHIGAL East through Lemont, IL. Lately, these locals have mainly been using road power so this was nice to see.
As I spent most of my trip on the Iron Range, I thought it proper to dedicate some time exploring the Twin Ports area before heading home. I'm glad I did. At LST&T junction, I caught this eastbound CP local consisting of two GP22ECOs and a single CP multi-mark logo ballast car.
Following the cut through the sand hills made by the Middle Loup River, westbound empties wait for permission on to Alliance. The train is stopped at Seneca, NE and the Stable Productions Exotic Animal Ranch is in the background. Home to zebras, water buffalo, elk, reindeer and other exotics, the only thing from out-of-town I caught in the frame was a Kansas City Southern SD70ACe.
Hoping to see much more of local designers like SafiyaSathi at bangladeshi weddings!
Currently the market is saturated with indian and pakistani designer attires.

When Khang and I ventured out for the Marshall local things seemed to be quite promising. The BNs left Wilmar early so we hoped they'd go East in great light after quickly working Marshall yard. Unfortunately they had to do some of their own switching and had to wait on a few freight trains to pass them. After waiting hours and losing the sun for an East bound shot, Khang and I were desperate for at least one shot so that we didn't go home empty handed. Our waiting paid off as the pair of Burlington Northern 40s serviced a local industry on the West side of town. We got our one shot of the day and headed for home after an extremely short but annoying chase.
