With rescue power ahead of the regular train, Amtrak 694 (Amtrak 68 once it reaches CPKC rails) passes the L'Acadie siding in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Qc this past Saturday afternoon. Both southbound and northbound Adirondacks had been cancelled the previous day. As far as I know, this is the first time a 9700-series P42C made its way to Canada.
While exploring Windsor, Ontario’s Malden Park one early morning I discovered this antenna on the top of the hill in the park. Not exactly sure what it’s purpose is, but I was intrigued by it, especially when I saw the solar panel at the base that provides it with power from the sun.
Waycross-based local A768 featured some big power yesterday, a UP SD70ACe paired with an AC44. The pair is here seen running long hood forward across the Altamaha towards Jesup, at Doctortown. They will turn the wye and back towards Waycross after spotting two cars at the mill just south of the bridge.
I love dodgy wiring jobs. There is a ton of glue, double sided tape and some of my own blood in there!
I'm glad there is no reason to actually open the box on location. This yellow beast looks very professional on the outside, but on the inside it's D.I.Y. hell. Still it works great.

Taken my own Power back, its not about standing in a crowed its about being strong on your own. Even alone I will stand tall. Be the Queen no matter.

This was an interesting shoot ... I had my remote trigger attached to the D300, and was literally running back and forth inside my home to avoid being struck. Times I felt my arm hair move: 4!
Luckily, it never really poured. Just a few sprinkles.
I'll probably upload a few more.

One of many events during Power big meet is the drive in wedding held by the Swedish Church.
With their inbound train of chip loads and paper empties dropped on the main, power for the Toledo Hauler runs around its train. A GP40-2 and a former NS road slug are the two easternmost units on this set of power.
The sun rises through the domineering cooling towers of Ratcliffe-On-Soar power station on a stunning misty morning.
This 100 year old meter once measured the output power from the Stave Lake Dam. It once monitored the electrical life blood to thousands of homes in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia Canada.

Shot back in May right before I lost my way and set the camera aside. What is it about bald eagles that stirs such an emotional response from so many of us?
Most trains working between Soo yard and Gladstone had 2-3 units with the odd job getting 4-5. This is SOFDA at Manistique on March 18, 2001. The OACTI had died at Manistique and after setting there train out at Cherry Valley the power had proceeded to the depot with a few cars that wouldn't fit in the siding. Instead of a recrew train SOFDA which was following along behind the ore train was tasked with picking up the power and empty ore cars and moving the whole combo on to Gladstone. Power and trains now combined 2002, 6594, 6618, 1762 and 586 start to move with the huge train.
This is a project launched for Bristol's year as European Green Capital. So far I have shown you the Fog Bridge, the Boats in the Woods and now a tree made of solar panels. It's all happening here!
The Energy Tree is a community-led, public art installation and renewable power source designed to engage the public in energy issues. Volunteers from the Bristol Drugs Project, who completed a programme with project-lead Demand Energy Equality, built the solar panel 'leaves' for the tree from scratch and worked with Bristol-based artist John Packer on the metal sculptural work for the tree's structure. It'll also provide free on-the-go phone charging and WIFI.
It is situated in Millennium Square, right next to the Planetarium which makes a great background for this futuristic piece of art!

Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls is a set of massive waterfalls located on the Niagara River in eastern North America, on the border between the United States and Canada. Niagara Falls (French: les Chutes du Niagara) comprises three separate waterfalls: the Horseshoe Falls (sometimes called the Canadian Falls), the American Falls, and the smaller, adjacent Bridal Veil Falls. While not exceptionally high, Niagara Falls is very wide. With more than 6 million cubic feet (168,000 m³) of water falling over the crestline every minute in high flow, and almost 4 million cubic feet (110,000 m³) on average, it is the most powerful waterfall in North America
Geographically, Niagara Falls is located about Twenty (20) minutes away from the U.S. city of Buffalo and about an hour and a half (90 Minutes) away from the Canadian city of Toronto.
Some sources erroneously quote that the Niagara River has an average flow of about 12 million cubic feet per minute (200,000 cu ft/s) or even slightly more. This figure is derived from the average rate of flow (202,000 cu ft/s) of the Niagara River. This volume would pass over the falls if there were no hydroelectric water diversion upstream from the falls; however, water is diverted continuously from Niagara and this figure is approximately three times the actual average flow volume over the falls.
Niagara Falls is renowned for its beauty, and is both a valuable source of hydroelectric power and a challenging project for environmental preservation. A popular tourist site for over a century, the natural wonder is shared between the twin cities of Niagara Falls, Ontario and Niagara Falls, New York.
