Many thanks to everyone who takes the time to look and like my pictures.
Michigan Shore train Z627 is rolling off the last two miles of their southbound Journey to interchange with CSX at Holland MI. CSX's Holland yard is only about a half mile in front of them but the crew will have to roll past it and shove in from the east end as the Fremont sub connects to the main in the middle of the yard. The train consists of mostly loaded Chara ash cars that are bound for the ash dump in Essexville MI. This business is roughly 10 cars a day, 5 days a week for about the next 2 years as an environmental clean up takes place at the former B.C. Cobb plant in Muskegon MI. The call colors are just starting to peak in this area but are still a couple weeks away at this point.
Sporting its Orange GMPTE Livery, virtually new 142004 departs Miles Platting station in the Manchester North Eastern suburbs. In the distance L&Y Brewery Sidings Box guarding part the Philips Park triangle with a 56 hauled MGR held in the loop, ready to follow 1420004.
* Miles Platting Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway station in the North East suburbs of Manchester and by 1986 was a shadow of its former self. Created at the Junction where the L&Y and LNWR routes converged after crossing the Pennines on their respective routes.
This area was born out of the industrial revolution with a vast amount of manufacturing and engineering establishments and the working population grew disproportionally to the housing available therefore creating mass overcrowding in a slum area.
Miles Platting became unstaffed and suffered from vandalism closing on May 27th 1995 and was quickly demolished leaving no trace.
* For the final day of 'Pacer' operation, November 27th 2020, Northern rostered just 142004 to work one of the Manchester - Kirkby diagrams.
Passengers alight from 150112 on the 07.00 Manchester Victoria - Kirkby as 142004 arrives with the 07.36 Kirkby - Manchester Victoria.
* Considered to be only a stopgap solution and based on the Leyland National bus body some of these units managed a creditable 35 years in service. Fittingly Newton Heath turned out ex GMPTE 142004 on the last day.
** For the record 96 were built, 15 were available for service on the last day (stand corrected on that) 36 have been scrapped and 20 have made it into preservation.
This is a shot from a few months ago in 9 Mile Pond shooting with Michael Pancier.
This was supposed to be a cloudless morning according to forecast yet, it ended up being a nice one.
This is a single file. No saturation added. Dodge & burning, 3 levels of local contrast (highlights/mid tones and overall tonal)
Hope you all have a very nice week.
As always, thank you for stopping by and looking, I appreciate your comments & critiques.
Hey gang. Hope you had a great Christmas day. Boxing day marks the start of a great migration here in Australia. Thousands of majestic station wagons make the long journey from urban centres to rural ones with occasional stops for a KFC and a wee. On arrival at the teeming holiday-grounds, their first port of call is usually the small local IGA shop where they will comment on how expensive the bread is. Having put up a tent or pitched a caravan or booked into a hotel, the older members of the party will then usually crack open a bottle of something alcoholic and the younger ones will complain about how poor the 4G internet is. Traditionally there will be a small (but heated) row and then everyone will go for a walk on the beach, which has healing and restorative effects. Over the course of the holiday, the mood will slowly become increasingly relaxed and remain so until the return leg, which is fraught with its own unique dangers, such as a malfunctioning air conditioning unit in the car and 10km traffic jams. Personally I will not be migrating anywhere during the summer holidays, but will be enjoying sunrises like this one a couple of mornings ago, on Seven Mile Beach. If you're heading this way, look for a fat bloke in Crocs with a camera and smelling heavily of Aerogard and you've probably found me :)

Thank you, Little Kash in heaven!
I believe you brought Miles to my family.

This is an abandoned CPR commuter line bridge, which passes over the Bayview Extension and Don Valley Parkway off-ramps. It was built in 1928. Despite the "Half-Mile" moniker, the bridge is about a quarter of a mile long.
