Sadly Wednesday afternoon's Workington sun window did not extend further up the coast.
No matter, by any stretch of the imagination a bonnet-first Chopper is a rarity out on the network regardless of the weather so worth firing off a shot or two for posterity.

The Pickens Anderson job rolls out for the day, with several industries and an interchange with NS ahead of them. The single hopper in tow sat by the engine shops overnight. Also, for those interested, the pickens recently received four ex-CSX B40-8 units, three of which were in YN3 or YN3b paint, and one in YN2. I was informed by an employee that the unit in YN2 was already sold and off the property again, while the other three are generally only used if necessary for a heavy train. The U-boats are otherwise preferred.
In Utah, pick any direction and drive. You’ll run into mountains, lakes, red rock, desert and endless skies. It’s always an adventure!
A bit out of season, but an image I edited for a demonstration of the Earthy tones actions with some of my vignettes. You can see it here, skip to the area near the end of the video to see the edit. jessicadrossin.net/product/jd-beautiful-world-earthy-tint...
The friendly gnome 'Big Ears' breathes a sigh of relief after putting the damaged plane of his friend Noddy safely on the ground....
( for “Macro Mondays” -theme: “Pick Two” ) (damaged toy)
My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree
Toward heaven still,
And there's a barrel that I didn't fill
Beside it, and there may be two or three
Apples I didn't pick upon some bough.
But I am done with apple-picking now.
Essence of winter sleep is on the night,
The scent of apples: I am drowsing off.
I cannot rub the strangeness from my sight
I got from looking through a pane of glass
I skimmed this morning from the drinking trough
And held against the world of hoary grass.
It melted, and I let it fall and break.
But I was well
Upon my way to sleep before it fell,
And I could tell
What form my dreaming was about to take.
Magnified apples appear and disappear,
Stem end and blossom end,
And every fleck of russet showing clear.
My instep arch not only keeps the ache,
It keeps the pressure of a ladder-round.
I feel the ladder sway as the boughs bend.
And I keep hearing from the cellar bin
The rumbling sound
Of load on load of apples coming in.
For I have had too much
Of apple-picking: I am overtired
Of the great harvest I myself desired.
There were ten thousand thousand fruit to touch,
Cherish in hand, lift down, and not let fall.
For all
That struck the earth,
No matter if not bruised or spiked with stubble,
Went surely to the cider-apple heap
As of no worth.
One can see what will trouble
This sleep of mine, whatever sleep it is.
Were he not gone,
The woodchuck could say whether it's like his
Long sleep, as I describe its coming on,
Or just some human sleep.
The Pickens Honea Path job trundles northward back to Belton, SC with four empties after working the last two customers at the end of the line in Honea Path.
Often when one is a creative, it is NOT just in one field...
Cooking is another passion of mine, I love looking what I have at hand and create a meal. Yes, Paul has had many ONE-OFFS! Lol.
A number of years ago, I broadened my horizon and explored the Japanese cuisine, what a delight! Of course I also love a nice 'table', so, the Japanese are extremely precise about their presentation, the eye counts!
So, over the years I have gathered many lovely items to eat in 'STYLE'...
See some beauties here:

Why not view the set as a slide-show?
Also I often upload more than one image at the same time; I see a tendency to only view the last uploaded...
Besides Photography the second important Hobby. Instead of changing Lenses: trying out different Pick-up Systems in my High-End Chain...
