A class 25 waits for the passenger train to pass before progressing east with a short set of coal hoppers.
In the late 19th century the Midland Railway challenged the orthodoxy of locomotive design with its small engine policy. Rather than building larger and larger engines, the Midland deliberately designed and built large numbers of small engines, mostly for freight work. The policy favoured simplicity and the 0-6-0 wheelbase.
Fast forward to the 1950s and the British Transport Commission's modernisation programme was clearly influenced by the Midland's small engine policy. While type 3 (1500hp-2000hp) and type 4 (2000hp-3000hp) locomotives were ordered, over 1,000 smaller locomotives were built, including the locomotives seen here.

I thought all doors were supposed to be closed before moving. Oh well. A freight train rolling over Alameda Creek in the Niles District of Fremont, California.

Chessie System SD9 1836 was exposing its insides at NRE's Dixmoor shop in 2007. A year later, it was hacked to pieces and that was the end of that.
Corporate executives always say they have an Open Door Policy but on Lufthansa they walk the talk!
Something you don't see much of anymore on a flight is the door to the cockpit open like this. Security concerns and FAA regulations keep this area tightly controlled and under lock and key for the most part.
As a kid I had the opportunity to travel with my father on many of his business trips. His company always flew him on Continental Airlines AKA (and how do I remember this?) The Proud Bird With The Golden Tail. It was a real treat for me to go and the stewardesses (yes, they were called stewardesses) would usually fawn over me which I'm pretty sure he enjoyed as well!
Anyhow, the highlight for me wasn't the ladies but the cockpit. They would always take me up there and the pilot would always ask me if I had my wings (a pin that the airlines handed out). I'd say yes then they'd tell me to jump in the seat and take off. All the lights, lever and switches were a kid's dream! Please note this was always on the ground, no passengers were in danger!
It's too bad that the kids of today don't get the opportunity to experience these little things that really make for a great childhood.

An interesting sight greeted me at Nahant Yard on Saturday, a pair of KCS Belles and a CP GP, all facing the proper direction. Now only if those nose doors were closed...

A Lake State Railway northbound out of Bay City passes through Kawkawlin, MI behind two one-of-a-kind models on their roster, an HR-412 and C420. It was a bit warm for May and the crew may have left the door open for some air flow.

Two Central Maine & Quebec barns may have had more fans out chasing them than some steam excursions when they decided to make a rare appearance in the Windy City back on Father's Day this year. The SD40-2F barns led CSX train Q165 (Buffalo, NY to Schiller Park, IL, CP haulage stacks) into town from Montreal. A regular CP red GE toaster trailed them, followed by the CP 7023, The Air Force Unit fourth out.
Q165 is seen here slamming the diamonds at CP-Canal crossing CN's former GM&O/IC St. Louis line in Summit, Illinois on IHBRR's Franklin Park Subdivision. Q165 is CP train 143 (Montreal, QC to Schiller Park, IL, stacks) that CSX handles for CP on the U.S. side of the border.
This is the first and only time thus far I have attempted to shoot a moving train with the DSLR in my hands and the drone over my shoulder 150 ft. in the air simultaneously. It was quite the juggling act. You can check out the drone shot here:

Passengers on Virgin's 7.37am Glasgow Central - London Euston service (1M08) have seemingly little to worry about as they race south through Rugby and pass Thunderbird 57307 "Lady Penelope", parked up in the station ready to come to the aid of any failed Pendolino.
Or do they?
While the locomotive might be willing and able to help out Virgins in distress, it ain't going anywhere without a driver. Hmmmmm!

What looks like a teleporter from science fiction being draped over NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, is actually a "clean tent." The clean tent protects Webb from dust and dirt when engineers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland transport the next generation space telescope out of the relatively dust-free cleanroom and into the shirtsleeve environment of the vibration and acoustics testing areas. In two years, a rocket will be the transporter that carries the Webb into space so it can orbit one million miles from Earth and peer back over 13.5 billion years to see the first stars and galaxies forming out of the darkness of the early universe.
For more information about the Webb telescope, visit: www.jwst.nasa.gov or www.nasa.gov/webb.

This gross architectural blight is a newly constructed senior citizen housing project in nearby Lorton, VA. It's a great example of the old saying "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still just a pig." That thought applies as well to the recent redo of the U.S. income tax policy....you know....the one that was all about helping the Middle Class. More Lipstick. : ((
Union Pacific DDA40X 6936 lounges about Proviso on a sunny afternoon in 2007. Someone left the door open on the brawny EMD, but it was worth a few pixels.
In November 2000, UP 6936 collided with a dump truck at a grade crossing in Livonia, Louisiana. The accident killed a railroad employee riding in the nose section and the driver of the dump truck.
It last ran in 2015 and is now in storage in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
It's been a while since I posted any car pictures (September 2021). I've only been to three shows this year and two of them weren't that great. After 14 years of local car shows you see many of the same cars. So I try to find cars I haven't shot before when I can. I have shot this one before, a 34 Ford couple, but I liked the suicide doors being open. Shot at the KC Showdown Car Show at the Legends Field in Kansas City Kansas.
