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.

Usually railfans get a little upset when crews open the door of their lead unit. It was fully understandable to us on this over 90 degree day with this K684 with a duo of CN locomotives at Fort Montgomery on the CSX River Sub.

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...

Oh no, the crew has the door open!! Oh well, probably just airing out the bathroom.
NS 8365, on train MYCAS, pulls south to CPI 147 where it'll begin its yard work before continuing south to the A&S. The sun had popped out for about 10 minutes, creating some neat lighting.
This partially collapsed building is now being demolished. It’s in the river north industrial district in Saint Louis, MO. USA
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:

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.
As I'm sure you all already know, Flickr is changing their policy regarding storage for free accounts. This is a problem for cheapos like me who aren't willing to start paying for what used to be a free hobby.
So I bet you're all thinking, "Gee, I wonder what PlazaACME's gonna do?"
Well I have an answer- sort of. I'm planning on keeping this (free) Flickr account, meaning a few thousand of my photos have to be purged out. There will be no more regular uploads on my page from this point out.
The photos that were on this page will be moved to my blog. (Let's just ignore the half-dozen weird posts I have there currently). These reposts will be done slowly over the next few weeks. Long-term, I'd like to use the blog for "stours" and use another platform for my more random posts, but until a decent alternative presents itself I'll just keep everything on the blog. I will also remain active on Flickr, but only to keep up with everybody's photos.
The photo is totally unrelated. Just wanted to use one of the more interesting ones I had sitting in the archives. It's from a foggy night when my roommate and I went out and took some photos around the city.
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.

Bangkok (Thaïlande) - En règle générale, les policiers thaïs acceptent volontiers de se faire photographier par les touristes. A éviter cependant lors d’une manifestation des « Chemises rouges ». Là, le légendaire sourire thaï pourrait bien faire place à un coup de bambou en pleine tête.
En Thaïlande, l’anglais n’est pas une langue parlée couramment, c’est aux policiers qu’il faut s’adresser. Eux, ont des notions de la langue de Shakespeare et une partie de leur travail consiste à renseigner les touristes. Il m’est aussi arrivé de me faire contrôler alors que je circulais en scooter. J’ai fini au poste de police… pour prendre un café sur l’invitation amicale des forces de l’ordre. Il faut dire que j’étais en règle : j’avais mon permis international et mon casque. Je ne me fais cependant pas d’illusions. Si j’avais été en infraction, j’en aurais été pour une poignée de baths (monnaie locale). Surtout en fin de mois car les policiers sont mal payés.
Les autorités les laissent racketter les étrangers et les commerçants pour se faire un complément de salaire. Ça ne va jamais très loin. D’autant que les policiers thaïs sont moins vicieux que les indonésiens qui eux, trouvent toujours quelque chose pour vous soutirer de l’argent. En Thaïlande, si vous êtes en règle, en principe, vous n’aurez pas d’ennuis.
Souvent, ce sont les policiers qui m’ont demandé de les photographier. Mais ils se mettent systématiquement au garde à vous. Sans intérêt. C’est la raison pour laquelle dans le quartier de Chinatown à Bangkok j’ai pris cette photos à l’insu de ces policiers qui faisaient leur pause déjeuner. J’étais debout, j’ai baissé mon appareil à bout de bras en regardant ailleurs et j’ai déclenché.
Je ne suis pas trop mécontent du résultat car je n’ai pas eu à redresser la « ligne d’horizon ». Seul le policier au centre manque d’un peu de netteté. Mais j’estime que cette photo fonctionne.
Resting policemen
Bangkok (Thailand) - As a rule, Thai police officers are happy to be photographed by tourists. To be avoided, however, during a demonstration of the “Red Shirts”. There, the legendary Thai smile could well be replaced by a blow to the head.
In Thailand, English is not a widely spoken language, it is the police who must be addressed. They have notions of the language of Shakespeare and part of their job is to inform tourists. I also happened to be checked while I was riding a scooter. I ended up at the police station… for coffee at the friendly invitation of law enforcement.
It must be said that I was in order: I had my international license and my helmet. I have no illusions, however. If I had been in breach, it would have cost me a handful of baths (local currency). Especially at the end of the month because the police are badly paid.
The authorities let them extort foreigners and merchants to make extra pay. It never goes very far. Especially since the Thai policemen are less vicious than the Indonesians who always find something to extract money from you. In Thailand, if you are in good standing, in principle, you will not have any trouble.
Often, it was the police who asked me to photograph them. But they always stand at attention. Without interest. This is the reason why in the district of China town in Bangkok I took this photos without the knowledge of these policemen who were on their lunch break. I was standing, I lowered my camera at arm's length, looking away and I triggered.
I'm not too unhappy with the result because I didn't have to straighten the "horizon line". Only the policeman in the center lacks a bit of sharpness. But I think this photo works.
