Decatur and Eastern Illinois (DREI) (former-NS/ex-SOU 5020) GP38-2 #3896 leads a four-unit consist and 112-car loaded grain train south out of Oakland, Illinois. The deactivated approach signal once warned north-bound Nickel Plate crews of a crossing with the Pennsy, now long gone.
A Watco subsidiary, the DREI initiated operations in September 2018 with the purchase of the CSX (ex-B&O) Decatur Subdivision and Danville Secondary Subdivision, connecting Decatur, Illinois and Terre Haute, Indiana. In December 2019, the railroad expanded by acquiring the Eastern Illinois Railroad (EIRC), consisting of approximately 56-miles of the former Nickel Plate Cloverleaf line between Neoga and Metcalf. The two lines are connected at Metcalf, forming a “V” pointed to the north east.
The train will head south for Charleston, pick up a fifth unit, and press on for Neoga, where the railroad interchanges with Canadian National. Although the hogger hasn't turned on the headlight yet, 3896 sports a wonky set of ditch lights that flash in unison, permitting me to time this shot to their "on" cycle.
DADDY: "Are you settling in well, Edgar and Benjamin?"
EDGAR: "Oh yes, Daddy!"
BENJAMIN: "Thank you Daddy!"
DADDY: "That's good, my darlings! I am pleased to hear that."
BENJAMIN: "It's especially lovely when we get to take tea together."
EDGAR: "And enjoy such delicious macarons!" *Licks lips with cute little pink bear tongue.*
BENJAMIN: "Grumbly tummy, Daddy! Grumbly tummy!" *Rubs tummy vigorously.*
EDGAR: "Grumbly tummy, Daddy! Grumbly tummy!" *Rubs tummy vigorously.*
DADDY: "Oh dear!"
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 17th of January is "plush toys", which is the perfect theme for me, as I have a lovely collection of soft plush bears who quite enjoy being in front of my camera and under my lens. Both made by Merrythought Bears in Ironbridge, Shropshire, Edgar and Benjamin are the two latest additions to my ever burgeoning bear family. I hope you like my choice of bears for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile.
This beautiful Willow Pattern nursery tea set was made in England by the Shell China Company in the 1920s. It features four cups and saucers as well as a tea pot, coffee pot, milk jug and sugar bowl. Each piece is gilt edged and decorated with the Willow Pattern in blue, just like the life-size equivalent. It has two sister sets: a 1920s Shell China Company nursery rhyme tea set that I was given as a gift some years ago by a close friend who knows I collect nursery ware and children’s tea sets and a faerie tale set from the 1930s Shell China Company faerie tale tea set that I have built up from various sellers over time.
Handmade at Merrythought in England from warm-gold tousled mohair plush, Edgar is a cheerful companion who has terracotta pure cotton velvet paws, and wears a delightful floral cotton bow tie. He is number 2 of a limited worldwide edition of 200.
Benjamin is made by Merrythought in England too. A friendly character, he has been handmade from soft, caramel-coloured mohair plush featuring a chocolate-coloured base that beautifully complements his pure wool felt paws. He wears a traditional, satin-lined waistcoat made from the finest British tweed and secured with brass studs. He is number 110 of a limited worldwide edition of 150.

When I was in Oxford back in the late sixties, I lived in Digs and from time to time when my landlady was not around she would leave a "cold dinner plate" in the larder for me. Always good! Confession -- this is not real ice but rather "prop ice" made of acrylic for use in photos and movie sets. For the Smile on Saturday challenge: "Presented on a Plate."
Saturday Self Challenge; White on White
Not the easiest challenge, and after various attempts, finally on settled on these two white dinner plates. For better or worse, they were in dappled light, hence the shadow in the background.
Meissen Porcelain leaf form plate with handle. This piece is hand painted with bird and nature motifs
Saw this bolder from a mile away on our way up towards Unapool but just had to shoot it! Would like to go back and camp there - lots of dragonflies in the pools too.
Still looking good nine years after its painting but in need of a bath, Norfolk Southern's Nickel Plate heritage locomotive leads train 16G through CP 102 in Macedonia, Ohio.
Mile Marker Zero ~ Illinois Prairie Path Trail Head ~ Wheaton, Illinois
Mile Marker Zero is the junction of the three branches of the Illinois Prairie Path, a place where runners, hikers, cyclists and nature lovers begin and conclude their journeys. It's also a crossroads rich in heritage. The Prairie Path follows the right of way of the former Chicago, Aurora and Elgin Railroad, known as the "Roarin' Elgin" or "Great Third Rail," which operated from 1902-1957.

I've had this little collection going for a few months. The plates hadn't seen the light of day, but now, they're having a wall to themselves, (I hope, Taff?!).
As I took macro photos, the beads reflected the light in the window slats. These clear glass plates with beads on edge were one of few things I inherited from my grandmother.
Our Daily Challenge 10-16 April : What's for Dinner?, and 121 Pictures in 2021 :Your Favourite Cuisine.
I have to say I don't do anything so pretentious as 'Cuisine', but I have missed going out for lunch once a week since Covid put a stop to that!
Most of my meals look a lot like this.
I'm not keen on brown food, and especially the sort where everything is mixed up on the plate and looks like lurcher sick !
Before you ask the green blob is mint jelly and those spuds are my favourite 'La Ratte'
I bought these two plates for $1.75 each. Talk about devaluing art. They probably took hours of labor.
