With most shortlines generally operating on weekdays, I had to take advantage of an entire Wednesday off work yesterday. Initially I had planned to head east to Delaware on good authority that ESPN would run a blue and yellow trio out of Wilsmere, but when I punched this into the GPS I must've had a brainfart of some sort, as it began taking me west towards the MMID. By the time I noticed my mistake I was already half way to Union Bridge, so turning around would've been of a low mental standard. Instead I caught up to UBHF at Thurmont, where I was very pleasantly surprised to see a lashup of three flared 40's and a pair of oldies in tow, lined up with the 2060 facing east for the return. After a westbound chase to Highfield, I set up in Sabillasville after scoping out all the possible eastbound angles and settled for this winner. A nerve-wracking two hours later, and surely not long before the shadows consumed the ROW, the screaming dynamics of the MMID quintet could be heard roaring down the mountain, and a scene for the ages was converted into pixels.
When operating this lock at the Grand Union Canal in Watford you would notice two things: one, this is an extremely solid device and all hand-made. Two, you need a big steel handle and a lot of elbow grease to operate this lock. This is yesterday's technology, so forget about your mobile phone or your remote control. Photographically speaking, I had taken a small and very light camera (Fuji X-E3) and an even lighter all-rounder (pancake) lens when exploring Cassiobury Park in Watford where you have the River Gade and the Grand Union Canal in the centre. It was a surprise to myself that I found that my most interesting shots were not panoramas of the river or so, but these close-ups of human design.
BNSF operated a road dozer today from Superior to Cass Lake. Not much snow around the Twin Ports given frequent train movements but west of Brookston there was enough to really throw at 45 mph. With Boswell coal trains routed through Superior since last fall the line west of Cohasset was prime for some snow throwing. Here the dozer train nears Cass Lake, creating a ground blizzard as it blasts west. I'm not standing on the rail, the track curves off to the left here.
While out shooting I noticed a crop duster operating in the field next to me but didn't think much about it until the noise grew louder and I turned to see this. Immediately the famous crop duster scene in North By Northwest came to mind. I was tempted to run and make my escape but I'm no Cary Grant so I decided to take the photo instead.
As always, your faves and comments are appreciated. Constructive criticism and suggestions are especially welcome as I believe they help to make me a better photographer. Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos.

The famous lighthouse on Denmark's west coast has an exciting history. Inaugurated in 1900, it was hit by a shifting dune just ten years later. In 1968, the lighthouse had to stop operating because its light could no longer be seen from the sea. In 2012, the shifting dune completely passed the lighthouse and has been moving north ever since. However, the sea was now increasingly becoming a threat to the lighthouse. There was a risk that it could tip over if it crashed onto the coast. Therefore, it was moved 70 meters inland in 2019.
Operating in true C&NW left handed fashion, this eastbound pig train has just departed Boone after a crew change. They are passing under the old Fort Dodge, Des Moines & Southern Railway bridge on the east side of town. The Fort Dodge Line was started as an electrified interurban hauling passengers and freight. After passenger service ceased, their freight business was lucrative enough that the C&NW bought the company in the late 1960s. This part of the Fort Dodge Line has been abandoned but the right of way is still visible on Google Maps photo. Unfortunately there is no trace of the bridge left.
I am pretty sure the shadow next to me is Jim French from Dixon.
Forget the PC at Christmas days!
Be there for your family and your beloved ones!
Merry Christmas!!!

The Ontario Southland operates a fleet of vintage EMD and Alco/MLW products on a few sections of former Canadian Pacific trackage in southern Ontario. Two of the coolest locomotives on their roster are a pair of former SOO Line GP7s, 378 and 383. Both Geeps are seen here working the Woodstock Turn on their way back west, stopping to do a bit of switching in Beachville.

Bahnlogistik24.de operated 120 205 has just passed the station of Kurort Rathen with empty grain hoppers bound for Bad Schandau where the German machine will hand over to something else more suitable for working in the Czech Republic.
Still carrying its faded DB red livery, this and sister 120 201 are regular along the Elbe Valley working the numerous trains of grain hoppers.

ET42 class is dying out nowadays. It is said only 7 units are working now (some sources point only 4) and of course month by month this number will only go down. After I saw ET42-035 yesterday with coal train to Warsaw, I couldn't resist from posting this photo of the same locomotive, just from the past, when these locomotives were running almost exclusively on Coal Trunk Line.
Here, ET42-035 with open box wagons set as southbound freight train on harbour line from Gdańsk Port Północny station. June 10, 2001.

Ponieważ seria ET42 jest na kompletnym wymarciu, mówi się, że zostało już tylko kilka egzemplarzy (źródła podają między 4 a 7), tym większą gratką jest przypadkowe spotkanie takiej maszyny, jak to miało miejsce wczoraj, gdy w Warszawie Głównej Towarowej utknął "węglarz" z pociągiem do nieodległej Pragi i tamtejszej EC Żerań, prowadzony ET42-035.
Ale na fotce nie ta sytuacja, tylko zupełnie inna, sprzed lat, a leitmotivem jest ten sam egzemplarz ET42-035. Tu z węglarkami, pewnie próżnymi, jedzie najprawdopodobniej z Portu Północnego linią 226, która w tym miejscu zbliża siię do magistrali Warszawa - Gdańsk. 10 czerwca 2001 roku, czyli czasy, gdy ta seria niemal wyłącznie jeździła po Magistrali Węglowej.

The Strathspey Railway operates from platform 3 of Network Rail's Aviemore railway station. Until 1998 the railway's southern terminus was Aviemore Speyside about 300 yards (270 m) further north. Aviemore Speyside is no longer in regular use, although its platform has been retained as a fallback in case of problems with access to the Network Rail station. Coaling of the steam locomotives is carried out at a facility constructed in 2014 on the site of the former Aviemore Speyside station building. Its signal box, which was formerly at Garve West and transported from there in 1986, was retained when the station itself shut. New features are gradually being brought into service at the Aviemore site controlled using traditional British Railways mechanical semaphore signalling.
From Aviemore, the line passes the four-road locomotive shed which was constructed by the Highland Railway in 1898. The original purpose of the shed was to house locomotives for the lines to Perth and Inverness (via Carrbridge and Forres). It was common for original Highland Railway engines to be allocated to the shed and in London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) days it housed Stanier Black Fives, Pickersgill Bogies (Caledonian Railway), Caley 439 tanks, Caley 812 classes, and Fairburn tanks. In British Railways days the shed was allocated the shed code '60B'. These days the engines that are in traffic on the Strathspey Railway still bear the 60B shedplate on their smokebox. The shed has a 60-foot (18 m) turntable, originally from Kyle of Lochalsh.
There is also a carriage maintenance shed which was erected and opened for use in 2005; this shed allows the railway's volunteers and staff to work on its fleet of coaches indoors. On the opposite side of the line is a three road carriage storage shed erected and opened in 2011; this allows the coaches to be stored under cover and protected from the weather.
The former engine crew hostel, called Spey Lodge, stands just to the north. This building was erected by the LMS during the Second World War to provide railway crews with a safe and cheap option for accommodation whilst rostered to work locally. The British Railways Staff Association For Scotland then took it on to provide holiday accommodation for railway staff and their families. It was saved by the Strathspey Railway Company during the 1970s and gradually the facilities have been upgraded by volunteers. Spey Lodge now fulfils its original role again, providing hostel accommodation for engine crews and other volunteers working on the railway.
After Spey Lodge, the railway passes the site of the new Aviemore Hospital then crosses Dalfaber level crossing, an Automatic Open Crossing, Locally Monitored (AOCL). This level crossing was not originally part of the railway, but was installed after the development of the Dalfaber Estate in the 1980s. After crossing the road and passing the Cairngorm Brewery the line climbs through Granish Moor. This heather moor affords views of Cairngorm Mountain and the line runs parallel to the Speyside Way, a popular walking and cycling route. Once into the forest at the north end of the moor, the line descends past Boat of Garten golf course and into the village of Boat of Garten itself.

TAM operates a daily flight with their A350, and it's starting to be rare to get this livery, as most of their planes are in the new LATAM livery!
But I prefer this livery a lot!
This aircraft was withdrawn from LATAM's fleet in 2020.
