Near the "station" of Lee, the Potash Local found a gap in a low ridge and now rolls across a more open desert landscape. Soon they'll pass Seven Mile and things will narrow for the big cut leading into the confines of Moab Canyon.

It seems not so many people in Acharacle were born and bred here. It seems most people have come here, as some sort of escape. Having emerged from some Central American jungle with Special Forces he took a map of Scotland and decided to stick a pin in it, to go fishing there. And so he came to Loch Shiel and Acharacle and within two days (so his story goes) fell in love with the place. And the peace and tranquility. He bought a small houseboat and lives in it, by the shore. Robert is everybody's friend: will help anyone, talk to anyone, guide anyone, especially around the 28 km long loch he loves so much and knows intimately. He's a local hero in the community.

Coming home last night I came up towards two cars alongside each other in a passing place. Windows were down and they were having a chat while they blocked the road. Eventually the car in front decided to go and I drew up alongside the lady in the other car, wound down my window and asked her if we could have a chat too. "Yes" she agreed, and I asked her where she was from. "Down there was the answer" pointing ahead of her on the road" And then she said, "And where are you from?"

Well, we love that question. "We live here!" we proudly said. And she thought for a second and then said, "Oh, I know: The big house!" That's how all the locals refer to our B&B. Yes, she was spot on. But how did she know? I'd never seen her before. Word gets round.

I do love a classic class one local freight so here's another frame of this scene.

CSXT Readville based local L001 with GP40-2 6234 (blt. Feb. 1979 as BO 4335 in Chessie paint) is working the big Home Depot distribution center out at the end of the mile and a half long Westwood Industrial Park Lead. This local had scooted down Amtrak's Northeast Corridor mainline with seven loads and then accessed this little branch via a hand throw switch off Main 1 just west of the Route 128 station platforms. This industrial park was developed by the New Haven railroad in the 1950s, and was once laced with customers as indicated by the multitude of rusty and weed choked sidings that reach to assorted warehouses which were all once rail shippers. Alas only Home Depot remains to keep this obscure little line alive but is busy enough to warrant five day a week service.

This gorgeous cat was resting under the bus as I walked past hence the startled look!

The local to the BNSF interchange at Connell WA passes wooden elevators and a silo off of Gearhardt Rd at Shano WA, March 14, 2019. SD9 #166 was built in April 1959 for the DM&IR as that road's 166.

It has been extremely hot a muggy here lately. I trugged through it last week to enjoy some hiking and photography on my day off. Just visited my local hiking trail, and had a blast playing with my old Minolta lenses.

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).

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.

One of the last photos taken before my SLR 680 acted up and died on me. Nothing spookier than ghosts and a skeleton enjoying a nice fall evening in the park.

Thank you for visiting my Flickr page. Happy to receive feedback / comments.

Perhaps he was expecting me to throw out some thing to eat....that didn't happen.

A Conrail local on comes around the south leg of the wye to the Pope’s Creek Secondary at Bowie, Maryland. The train has just left the Northeast Corridor, and will switch a premix concrete plant inside the wye.

Dates back to the 60's, does great work.

A local out of Willmar known as the West Local gets underway westward after dropping off potash hoppers at the elevator in town. Time to head to Benson and make some switch moves there.

A local enterprise...but can you guess its purpose? A bonus award of...well...just my admiration will be noted if you are correct!

I was out scouting for ideas about a four season shot series of a gnarly old maple tree when I heard the locals talking a little further down the slough (man made water course which helps drain a vast prairie area).

This juvenile bald eagle was okay with me being so close, while an another young adult is on the wing and more safely perched in the trees beyond.

On the cool morning of Saturday, September 13, 2025, a westbound BNSF local approaches Latah Junction on its way out of Spokane, WA. Doing the honors are a pair of 4-axle EMD locomotives - the first being a GP39-3 and the second a GP50.

NS's D91 local, led by an admiral cab SD40-2, gains speed after stopping to work the Frito Lay elevator between Sidney and Homer, IL. The train will run a few miles into Sidney, where he will run around his train and head back to Tilton Yard "long hood forward."

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.
