NS C Line local, G67 at Carrollton, Georgia switches out it's cars for the less traveled mileage southward down the Cedartown District to Newnan and Senoia on December 8, 2019. This former Central of Georgia route has several noteworthy relics lingering from the past as seen just to the right of SD40-2 6157. The remains of an old coal dump still stand from years ago when it was common for towns along routes to receive weekly loads of coal for consumer use, mainly in the winter months.
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
some of the myriad of goods available ... very cheap for the locals .... tourists must haggle of course ...

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.
Three Grande tunnel motors albeit one in SP Speed Lettering have the local coal in tow as they head for Terror Creek on the North Fork Branch. 10/97
UP's LSB54, last known as the LSB50, rolls south with UP 1427 leading UP 2094. This train is 3 miles away from its home terminal of Villa Grove Yard.
"Zo heren, ook even lekker uitrusten?", vroeg hij bij het passeren, nadat we hem een tijdje ervoor hetzelfde hadden zien doen op een bankje. Lang niet meer deze route gegaan, enigszins een verademing na weer zo'n bizarre dag

Testing a preloved CANON RF 15-30mm f/4.5-6.3 IS ST lens from MBP. Tricky shooting, the local mini forest is not actively managed and chaotic. The paths wander as trees grow and local dog walkers trim branches. We had a lot of trees blown down in storms over the last few years.
Aberdeenshire (Scottish Gaelic: Siorrachd Obar Dheathain) is one of the 32 council areas of Scotland. It takes its name from the old County of Aberdeen which had substantially different boundaries. Modern Aberdeenshire includes all of what was once Kincardineshire, as well as part of Banffshire. The old boundaries are still officially used for a few purposes, namely land registration and lieutenancy. Aberdeenshire Council is headquartered at Woodhill House, in Aberdeen, making it the only Scottish council whose headquarters are located outside its jurisdiction. Aberdeen itself forms a different council area (Aberdeen City). Aberdeenshire borders onto Angus and Perth and Kinross to the south, Highland and Moray to the west and Aberdeen City to the east. Traditionally, it has been economically dependent upon the primary sector (agriculture, fishing, and forestry) and related processing industries. Over the last 40 years, the development of the oil and gas industry and associated service sector has broadened Aberdeenshire's economic base, and contributed to a rapid population growth of some 50% since 1975. Its land represents 8% of Scotland's overall territory. It covers an area of 6,313 square kilometres
After visiting a local church in Lucerne, I spotted a local walking by with a lovely red umbrella. Couldn't resist capturing it!
CSXT L13626 is westbound on the Hanover Subdivision passing a local foundry in Hanover PA on April 26, 2023. Lead unit #2756 is an EMD GP38-2 originally manufactured for the Penn Central Transportation Co in March 1973 and was numbered 8148 which it carried over to Conrail three years later. June 1, 1999 it went to CSX in the split merger between Norfolk Southern and CSX. It was then numbered 2756 and received the then current YN2 scheme as seen here. To this date, 2756 is the only GP38-2 that remains in this paint scheme making it a rare bird on the CSXT roster.
Immediately behind the power is a cut of DODX flatcars containing Bradley armored tanks destined for points west via Hagerstown yard.

One of those evenings.
I missed a few cracking sunsets last week by not paying attention (and being lazy) so last night the hint of a decent sky made me head up the hill to my usual haunt on these occassions. Unfortunately, by the time I drove the few miles to the loch the sky had more or less cleared and this was about the best I managed.

I'm planning a project trying to catch the local landscape within a 15 minute radius from where I live. Yesterday was a dry run of the very goal, when I stopped at the road just to get out off the car to get started. I pointed the camera along the road in front of me realising that the real object was down the road where the wooded hillside offered an interesting view, unfortunately my shoes were more adapted to walk on a well paved sidewalk than a live wood. So further explorartion of the nature will have to wait until I dress a bit more appropriately. At least I have a great destination to head for next time. Shot with my Leica MP on Kodak Tri-X 400, a good combination for further exploration.
CN 5432 east, operating as local L528, splits the classic searchlight signals at Rosedale West, on CN's Yale Subdivision.
The nuances that make this image special are fairly esoteric, and may not mean much to those who haven't visited southern British Columbia in the past quarter century.
Since the spring of 2000, CN and arch rival CP have jointly operated their parallel mainlines down the Thompson, and Fraser Canyons as a shared 'Directional Running Zone'. The agreement allowed all of the westbound traffic from both roads to operate over CN's Ashcroft, and Yale subdivisions, between a point near Ashcroft to the east, and Matsqui Junction to the west. Conversely all eastbound traffic is routed over CP's Cascade and Thompson subdivisions between Mission at the west end, and near Ashcroft at the east end. The arrangement has greatly benefited both railroads, as the total train capacity for this important traffic corridor is virtually unlimited now. Under E. Hunter Harrison's reign at CN in the mid 2000's, 5 sidings were removed on the CN side, signaling that this arrangement was permanent in their eyes. When EHH gained leadership at CP, he completed the task of gutting infrastructure at that railway too, and removed 10 sidings on their side of the canyon. The message was clear; the DRZ is here to stay.
For photographers, this operational change was met with mixed emotions. The upside being that one could now set up on the 'CP' side of the river in the morning and shoot all the eastbound traffic in optimum light, and then switch over to the 'CN' side in the afternoon as the sun shifted to favor westbound traffic. The downside to this is that for much of the DRZ, both lines run on a north-south bearing, so the time with optimum light for eastbound traffic on much of the route is limited to a scant few hours during the longest days of the year. The main point of regret though, is that on both lines many classic locations and angles were rendered effectively useless. CP has shown an appetite to run an occasional train against this current of traffic, to the effect of one or two movements per year. CN has been rigid to adhering to this doctrine though, unless the CP line has been out of service due to rock slides or other force majeure, or for the occasional work train movement.
Cue my surprise when it became apparent that CN was running their rarely used L528 symbol to pick up a cut of 32 cars from a manifest train that had been set out for reasons unknown to me at the Rosedale Siding, 22 miles up the single direction DRZ on the Yale Sub. The single light SD60 did not do justice to most of the 'old' eastbound angles on this stretch of line, but it makes a nostalgic stand in for an eastbound train taking a run at the grade and curves up the Fraser Canyon ahead.
HEALTHY LIVING for me involves making much of our family food from local ingredients. And you can't get any more local than the Evans Cherry ( a sour cherry) tree 20 feet from my back door! Today we picked the fruit and within 2 hours turned into jam. Making my own healthy jam means I'm in control of the ingredients .... and I'm supposed to be in control of how much of it I eat :) ... Sometimes HEALTHY LIVING can be difficult!

This little guy lives in our back yard, and visits our bird feeders at least as often as the local bird populations. Today, he was competing with a Steller's Jay for peanuts.

Our local eagles are spending a lot of time reestablishing their presence at the nest. Breeding season is upon us.
A CSXT local job from Jessup Yard is about to shove back into the industrial park in Beltsville MD at milepost 28 sometime in 1989. The gentleman holding the dog is a mystery but he stayed out of the way while the crew did their work.
GP35 4386 was built in July 1964 for the B&O as their 3546. A few years after this photo was taken the unit was converted to a road slug and renumbered to 2282.
