Each year approx 80% of the worlds sandhill crane population migrate from their winter grounds in the southern US and Mexico through a narrow band of the North Platte River in Nebraska on their way to Canada, Alaska, and Siberia...
The crane count this Monday was 406,000...more interesting facts to come!!!
The sun has very nearly set on the Pacers so with a good forecast I surfaced early this morning and took a trip out to try a few sunrise rail shots at Colton Junction.
Just another shot I liked from my day out with the Batten Kill late last year. This was an attempt at a pacing shot from the passenger seat that I never bothered editing until now. Not perfect but still just kind of cool and worth keeping I suppose.
Winter Storm Gail slammed into the northeast mid December and Washington County was absolutely dumped on with over three feet of snow! The Batten Kill Railroad made a rare Saturday run to help open up the entirety of the railroad. They ran light engine with a pair of classic double headed Alcos: G&J 4116 a veteran ex D&H Alco RS3 (blt. 9/52) and SNEX 5012 an ex Atlantic & Danville Alco RS36 (blt. 12/59) stopping along the way to shovel switches and clear the roads of the snow they would push out on to each crossing. After making their way thru the hamlet of Shushan they are on their way to Cambridge.
They are seen here southbound between Shushan and Cambrudge somewhere near about MP A132

This day out on the Main South was the 'farewell i30 tour' as we took the car out on one final drive and tank of fuel. After 179,000 km of combined ownership covering east coast Australia, we said farewell to the trusty Hoondai i30 “Harry”.

Passing at a combined speed of over 120 mph, a westbound Union Pacific stack train meets an eastbound vehicle train near Dunlap, Iowa, on May 22, 2014, in a view along good old U.S. 30.
One of the accursed Class 142 "Pacer" diesel multiple units is seen at Carlisle in company with a class 153 unit. 94 of these things were built by British Rail Engineering in Derby Between 1985 & 1987. They were a development of the earlier Class 141 which where introduced in 1984.
The train body is based on that of the Leyland National bus and many fixtures and fittings of the bus can be found on the trains. They are powered by either Cummins or Perkins diesel engines of 230hp. They are notoriously unreliable, so much so that a power unit once detached itself from one of these on the Cumbrian Coast Line.

November 26, 2001. Pace bus run 364 has finished its trip in deserted and seedy downtown Hammond, Indiana. It appears there will be no passengers for the run back to Illinois. Just as I was leaving, a young lady approached me offering to sell me a fur coat. I declined.
Since I photographed this, the two buildings across the street have been razed.
The three mosaic chairs of Margaret Pace park, who made them? Certainly I do not know who made them, apart from that no one knows anything about anything, it's as if they had appeared by magic, I'll see how I get some history of these three authentic works of art, at first glance they represent three religious and ethnic cultures, but when I can I look for something, but if someone knows something let me know.
