Another impression from Shobrooke park near Crediton, our favourite destination for a walk starting from the doorstep.
Also a favourite place for huge flocks of birds, including geese, ducks, seagulls and crows - there's a few sitting in the tree to the left. Once in a while a huge number would fly up in the air, following an invisible impulse, accompanied by a lot of noise. Quite spectacular!
BNSF 282 and 2296 have a nice snowmelt reflection while spending their time in Willmar between local assignments.
Back at my local area I managed to get out with the camera earlier this morning and with frost and all the elements one needs for a sunrise picture I managed this image. Happy New Year to you all.
Newly restored Fowler 3F "Jinty" 47298 makes a sharp get away from Summerseat with a southbound train on the first day of the East Lancs Autumn Gala.
The EJ&E's Waukegan Local was rolling through Leithton behind the 703 and SD38-2 660 on a nice warm May afternoon in 2010.
The Canadian National had taken over the J and the orangey goodness was on the way out.
I thought it could be used for the last theme in MM but eventually noticed that not.
So I post it now !!!

Rio Grande caboose No. 01418 brings up the markers of the Salina Local slowing to make a pickup in Provo, Utah the afternoon of Dec. 26, 1976.
On just about any rain-free spring, summer or autumn afternoon in my hometown one can spot this hot air balloon. On three occasions this year it has landed in my neighborhood. As the wind currents slow, so does the balloon and eventually it must come down. I find myself chasing it and talking to the captain or helping the chase team pack it up. One of the really cool things about riding in a hot air balloon is . . . you don't feel the wind in your hair because you are traveling at the exact speed as the current.

NYS&W Southern Division local WS-3 pulls empties out of Belden Brick in Riverdale, NJ on the Pompton Industrial. The crew today brought along four "general purpose" EMD variants after needing the horsepower for a large train from Little Ferry to Saddle Brook. The last time four engines were consisted on this stretch of former Erie trackage was likely decades ago.

CSXT L13607 has just finished servicing Suburban Propane in Woodensburg, MD and is about to continue east to Emory Grove where the crew will interchange the three lumber flats and the boxcar with the Maryland Midland Railway. January 7, 2025, Ilford FP4, Nikon N8008.
D795-15 waits in the clear at Charmain Rd on CSX's Hanover Subdivision while the B702 continues working up ahead at Highfield, February 15, 2022. The 8044 was manufactured for the Seaboard Coast Line in 1979 and was delivered in the Family Lines paint scheme originally.

It's kind of crazy that there are two small waterfall features in a NW Arkansas suburb that are pretty easy to access. Shooting ultra-wide has always been challenging for me, so this shot is a step in remedying that and getting better at it!

I took a quick trip to Chicagoland to help my favorite daughter purchase her first new car. I was only there for a few days, but I managed to bag a few trains around town.

NS's Allentown based local HA13 sits in the Bethlehem Layoff Track next to an empty river yard. To my knowledge, HA13 was a weekday local that ran pull-pull from Allentown Yard to the Buckeye Pipeline Co. in Emmaus, back east to Bethlehem and then back to Allentown Yard. My best assumption on this day was that the train outlawed here the day before and was left to spend the weekend on the layoff until the next crew would arrive Monday morning.

While on the island of Barbados I took a tour with a professional photographer and a group of other tourists. He took us to a couple of good photo spots but also to a local restaurant. It is painted mostly red and black with white painted signage. The rocks are part of the foundation. I was captivated with their abstract possibilities.
Wisconsin Central GP7 1505 had the Schiller Park local L501 heading home as it rolled south through Buffalo Grove in 2001.
The 1501 was built by GMD in 1951 as Algoma Central 157 and was obtained when the WC took over the AC in 1995. The short high hood was chopped when it was repainted for the Wisconsin Central and scrapped by the Canadian National when they took over the WC.

Needed a longer lens than my Nikon105 Z macro as too close to insect. Or a Z8 and crop it.
As passengers wait for the next train, CSX Richmond-based local, D794 passes the station, headed north on the former RF&P mainline to its next stop. This was the only CSX train I saw moving on this morning -- everything else was Amtrak.
This is a Sagebrush Sparrow, mostly found east of California, but it does look very much like a Bell's Sparrow. Another birder found it in advance of the annual Carrizo Plain Christmas bird count, and it stuck around for count day, for which I'm grateful
551 heads to Aldershot after swapping quite a few cars on to the various customers on the Grimsby sub.
