Pacer crossing the viaduct at Todmorden in heavy drizzle.
1256 Manchester Victoria - Burnley Manchester Road (running 29 late and was meant to go to Blackburn but terminated at Burnley, not a great Friday for commuters in Lancashire, many delays and cancellations).
On the 26th November 2020 Class 143619 passes Red Rock with the 2F16 1120 Paignton to Exmouth.
I think the Class 143s will be withdrawn by the 12th December and Pacers will be no more in Devon. Can not say I will miss them but they have been part of the railway scene down here for many years now.
Of course if you believe the BBC they only operated in Manchester and the last one was withdrawn on the 27th November but unless it isn't within 30 miles of Salford the BBC don't appear interested these days...
This afternoon, word got out that the Lackawanna heritage unit was leading a colorful consist on a westbound coal empty (E-MHSCKM) through the Kansas City area. Cloudy weather be damned, something like this rolling through mid-day on the weekend got ALL of the local fans out to shoot.
Big ups to my friend Darrell for piloting the vehicle while I nabbed this shot of the 1074 just north of Rushville, Missouri.
The world has been running at its same pace. No one is bothered about what you and I have been enduring. It is me who understands it so well. Take heed and reach out. I am here... waiting to help you in every way I can. End this agony for the both of us.
a blast from the past with pacers on the Severn bridge Line from Temple meads seen here at Redland station
A twin car Class 143 Pacer unit slowly makes its way along the single track branch on the approach to Barry Island station, working the 2Y67 service from Aberdare.
Montana Rail Link's LM (Laurel-Missoula) Manifest Freight speeds up Winston Hill in June 1993 during a pretty wicked storm. The lead locomotive is an SD40-2XR followed by an SD35, and an SD45.
The 2024 pace car for the Chicago NASCAR Street Race is seen at the 2024 Chicago Auto Show at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL.
A couple of Pacers pass through the Healey Mills forest, on their way to Gascoigne Wood from Newton Heath. Not sure of their future......
Well with the dreaded Pacer railbuses on borrowed time the challenge is on to secure some unusual shots for posterity.
I can't believe I got talked into a night time visit to Edale amid frequent snow showers and an icy wind that would cut you in half but we managed to secure a shot.
Here 2 x 2-car sets 142 034 & 142 011 calls briefly at Edale with train 2S60 the 20.45 Manchester Piccadilly to Sheffield stopping service. The trouble with picking such remote locations is the short dwell time for a time exposure and the added challenge of predicting where it will stop when the platform has no stop car marks. This isn't the shot I intended as we were thwarted by a 4 car formation. The idea was to get the signal box in shot behind a 2-car so I will no doubt be back for a second attempt.
Newly-outshopped from Bukinje workshops 'Kriegslok' 2-10-0 33-504 of Kreka Mines puts everything it has into lifting its heavy train from Sikulje mine loading point on 24 February 2015. As the early afternoon working gets underway towards Lukavac exchange yard the local coal thieves are already in action atop the gondola wagons and the local resident mongrel, as always, happily paces the locomotive on the adjacent main line track, quite clearly a German steam locomotive aficionado!

CN X394 for Richmond, Qc heads east on the Montreal Sub with CN 2302 and CN 8959 for power as it paces a car on the parallel highway 20. After a large snowfall overnight it was pouring rain when I got this shot.
AMC Pacer D/L Coupe
Collector car plated, seen parked at Len's Automotive in St. Paul. Not sure on the year, but it is a later built one given the updated front styling.

an old cumbria tradition .....
the eggs are boiled with onion skins to dye them ......
the more skins used the richer the colour...
then you polish them with a little dripping from the traditional easter sunday roast......
the reason for this is you hide the pace eggs and let the kids hunt them out....... afterwards then they are kept to play egg dumps down the pub.......
egg dumps i hear you say....
you pit your egg against everyone elses ....
in turn you hold your egg in your clenched hand with the tip out and others hit the top of your egg with the pointed end......
whoevers egg is left uncracked wins.......
you normally win a free amount of beer at the pub depending on how good or mean the landlord is.........................
then the last bit is just mingin.......
they peel the eggs and chuck them into a pack of crisps and swill them in vinegar......
then the dirty sods eat them........
yum...
cant beat good old traditions lol..xxxx

Pace 20400, a 2020 New Flyer XD40, on route 308 on Van Buren Street, Forest Park, Illinois on Sunday, October 16th, 2022.
sometimes beauty surrounds us, and if we slow down long enough for it to develop, that beauty can put on quite a display at times...
Last night... just before I was baptized (check previous post...) it looked like the sun had dropped behind some thick clouds and the show was over. Only because we stayed put and waited, we were treated to a second helping of a Cali sunset when the sun slipped below the horizon, yet lit up the clouds for some additional light painting on the clouds and the water... quite beautiful.
But I have found real beauty in the hearts of special people that God has placed in my life. One such person is spending this afternoon attending a memorial service for a distant ex relative who's own family lost interest in him long ago. Another couple have spent the holidays gathered around the hospital bed of a young boy fighting for his life and a place in this world. And another woman has even traveled hundreds of miles to bring groceries and to sit and hold the baby girl of the couple so they could continue to give love as it has been appointed for them to do. We can all have a part in being beautiful... and sharing that beauty to bring light and life in the face and lives of simple people... like me. Thanks for bringing light to my life when I felt so swallowed by darkness... :)
For those of you who need some LIGHT

Pick it up
My hair is a good indication of my life pace. The more I have to get done, the frizzier it gets!
It’s been an intense few days. No matter how fast the pace, though, I always make time for my doggos. They each got a run this morning and a cuddle this evening.

Despite repeated promises, pacers refuse to die.

Taken on the last day the zoo was open to the public in March 2020. It was an empty day and just before all the schools were out for Spring Break.
Later that evening we got news that the zoo was closing in response to the pandemic, so we were glad we decided to go on Friday!
