there was some lovely light on this horse today.

Decision made. The signal gets dimmer, and our resolve weaker so that we may never make the leap.

Ocellated Tiger Beetle (Cicindelidia [Cicindela] ocellata). Deep East Texas.

 

When admired at this scale it's easy to see why tiger beetles are the terror of their tiny invertebrate prey, which they feverishly run down and eviscerate in the blink of an eye.

56113's RHTT duties are almost over, perhaps for another year. She ran light engine to Washwood Heath today, with 56105 heading the other way to join 56087 for the Sunday evening working of 3S71.

 

Here, 56113 heads through Platform 7 at Shrewsbury, looking pretty much as shabby as the station in the last of the evening light. Saturday 12.11.16

• Great Blue Heron hanging out with an American Coot and Mallard Duck at a rock in the San Elijo Lagoon in Cardiff, California.

• The lagoon has an outlet to the Pacific Ocean that plugs up with silt and sand that floods the lagoon into a small lake and marshland, attracting all kinds of migratory waterfowl, including these guys and osprey, king fishers, egrets and the like.

A juvenile Bald Eagle takes a break while hunting over the Gannet colony at Cape St Mary's. When we arrived at the Cape, 4 eagles were soaring over the colony. Apparently they take any chicks that are left abandoned by the parents.

This Snowy Egret seems to be leading a few White Ibis on their way!

West Coast Customs Cruisin' Nationals

Santa Maria, CA.

BNSF's Thayer North subdivision between Springfield and Thayer, Missouri, has three large grades that pose a challenge for southbound coal traffic on the line.

 

BNSF recently bought new heavier GEs to put on their Palos coal trains which are the heaviest on the line, weighing in at just under 20,000 tons. This allows them to reduce the number of units per train from five to four.

 

This Palos train only had two heavies on the head end and two older SD70ACe's on the rear, causing the train to stall on the 1.5 percent Whetstone grade near Mountain Grove, Missouri, during a torrential downpour. A manned helper set was dispatched to get the train as far as it could before the crew died at Olden siding, 111 miles from where they started in Springfield.
