(316/366) We're making an conscious effort to buy more locally produced food. Supervalu in Wellingtonbridge would be our nearest decent sized supermarket, I really liked how they have displayed this fresh produce in wheelbarrows, the person who thought this up deserves a medal (best viewed Large to see the wellington boots!) As well as vegetables they offer a wide range of local produce including fish (of course), butter, bread, hen & duck eggs, bacon, sausages & the most delicious yogurts.
Lovely sunny day here after torrential rain last night. I'm off to explore the grounds of Johnstown Castle with the Wexford Naturalists' Field Group this afternoon so I'll catch up with comments this evening. Have a great weekend everyone.

We headed out to our local airport today for other reasons but managed to time it to see the Flying Doctor Service arrive. They were on the job here ready to collect a local resident for transport to Adelaide, so I tried to not get anyone in the shot. They are very much relied on here in Mount Gambier. In 2021 alone, there were 586 flights from our local facility. They are up there with the fire-fighting pilots as local heroes! I donate wherever possible.
Local power awaits the call at Sulphur Springs, TX. The second unit is one of KCS's F7B slugs.

Montana Rail Link GP9 No. 113, built Northern Pacific 291 in Feb. 1957, leads MRL train 641, the Livingston - Helena local at Spokane Creek Road in Louisville, Montana the afternoon of October 10, 1993.
Taken in late afternoon light. Sheep look a bit dirty but I guess it is due to all the rain and mud.
Not only does Ken-san’s family own and run one of the most iconic, respected, and delicious landmark restaurants in this neighborhood, but he’s a musician of some acclaim, widely considered to be the Bob Dylan of Katsushika.
Ken’s family business was part of the forced shutdowns this summer, but has just reopened.
He’s pictured here at a neighboring eatery, trying to enjoy a late night dinner with his partner after what was certainly a long day, now that he’s actively back in the restaurant business - while I bother them through the window.
Ken’s also a genuinely great guy who not only welcomed the intrusion, but even bought me a drink.
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.

Resting for the weekend, the pair of SD40-2's that work BNSF's Sealy Local are tied down in the small yard at Sealy, about 50 miles west of Houston. The Sealy Local is a M-F job that runs from Sealy down to Booth and returns, switching various customers along the way.
BNSF 1914 was built as BN 6333 in February 1972. Despite receiving a BNSF patch in 2000, and a BNSF number about 10 years later, this locomotive's original BN number can still be seen in faded paint on the long hood.

This yard job ( I72 ) got RIGHT to work in La Crosse. We saw them roll east past the depot as lite power at 9:29, and just 14 minutes later, I photographed them pulling out of the west end of the yard with this local. They'd make their way across the river as soon as another local, powered by the CP 6246 would come in from the Wisconsin side.
Here, they're seen crossing Liberty St. with an apparently-shuttered MTU bus stop on the left. MTU's system map can be seen here ( chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.cityoflacrosse.org/Home/ShowDocument?id=834 ), and Liberty St. is somewhere between the 5 & 6 routes.
I wonder which is better, the monochrome or colored. This is the original image taken. It seemed that the attractive colors and accessories of the donkey are more eye catching than the owner of the donkey.
