Expecting the southbound, but the northbound appeared first coming out of what is called Tunnel 28. Kept hearing its horn in the distance and it sounded like it was coming from the south, but I thought it might be the SB echoing off the hills. Managed to totally screw up the other shots of it coming out of the tunnel by not keeping the tunnel fully in frame. Still making rookie mistakes with trains. Decent lighting here. Maybe railpictures worthy, but it could have been zoomed out a little.
Here is one on there already. Same engine even.
I make necklaces out of used aluminum beverage cans. I wash them and then cut out the hands to make necklaces. These hands remind me of Mexican Milagros.
According to Wikipedia:
"Milagros (also known as ex-votos or dijes) are religious folk charms that are traditionally used for healing purposes and as votive offerings in Mexico, the southern United States, other areas of Latin America, as well as parts of the Iberian peninsula. They are frequently attached onto altars, shrines, and sacred objects found in places of worship, and they are often purchased in churches, cathedrals or from street vendors.
Milagros come in a variety of shapes and dimensions and are fabricated from many different materials, depending on local customs. For example, they might be nearly flat or fully three dimensional; and they can be constructed from gold, silver, tin, lead, wood, bone, or wax. In Spanish, the word milagro literally means miracle or surprise.
The use of milagros is a folk custom in parts of North, Central, and South America, and it is claimed that the custom is traceable to ancient Iberians who inhabited the coastal regions of Spain. The use of milagros accompanied the Spanish as they arrived in Central and South America. Although the custom is not as prevalent as it once was, the use of milagros or ex-votos continues to be a part of folk culture throughout rural areas of Spain—particularly Andalusia, Catalonia and Majorca.
As part of a religious ritual or an act of devotion, milagros can be offered to a symbol of a saint as a reminder of a petitioner's particular need, or in gratitude for a prayer answered. They are used to assist in focusing attention towards a specific ailment, based on the type of charm used. Milagro symbolism is not univeral; a milagro of a body part, such as a leg, might be used as part of a prayer or vow for the improvement of a leg; or it might refer to a concept such as travel. Similarly, a heart might represent ideas as diverse as a heart condition, a romance, or any number of other interpretations. Milagros are also carried for protection and good luck.
In addition to religious and ritual applications, milagros are often found as components in necklaces, earrings and other jewelry."
A lovely walk in the fresh air this afternoon with the sunlight "bouncing" across the sea towards me!

The Erie Railroad's Youngstown bypass must have been quite a place during its day. Even into the Erie Lackawanna era it hosted heavy freights. Today, very little of it is in use. This segment in Warren was last used by the Ohio Central to access the Erie's mainline to Akron and Chicago, but trains haven't used this route for a good decade or so. The turned signal head suggests that even when the OC used these rails, the signals had been decommissioned.

COVENTRY, UK December 2017
Found out about this wall in one of my new books about Birmingham (may have seen it before but didn't realise its significance until now).
It was part of the original Great Western Railway - Snow Hill Station.
This was the entrance (now bricked up).
You can see GWR on it, as well as there coat of arms.
It is on Livery Street.
After a long day of skating street with a crew that rarely gets together, a ride home in the back of the truck was needed. Lights, cool breeze, it was relaxing. Shot this on the freeway. I like out of focused lights.
Misty morning - getting early now for these morning trips
