Canadian Pacific (CP) RDC-4 no. 9250 and Canadian National (CN) class EP-59a no. 6734 and ET-59a no. 6742 are seen on display near the turntable at Exporail. The CN cars are of a class of 18 motor and trailer cars built for commuter service on the Deux-Montagnes Line. Amazingly, aside from the four that were lost to accidents and other incidents during their service lives, all of this class have been preserved at museums throughout North America!

This butterfly landed next to me and didn't go away. I could get as close as I wanted. It only attacked me when I turned my back to it.
The T48 Bescot tripper was either a class 25, 31 or 47, but I have to say I have never seen a class 20 on it before. The solo chopper is propelling its load down the remnant of the Oldbury branch the short distance to the small but well used yard at Langley Green before tripping the wagons later to Bescot yard for onward movement.

The Razorbill (Alca torda) is a colonial seabird that only comes to land in order to breed. This agile bird chooses one partner for life; females lay one egg per year. Razorbills nest along coastal cliffs in enclosed or slightly exposed crevices. The parents spend equal amounts of time incubating. Once the chick has hatched, the parents take turns foraging for their young and sometimes fly long distances before finding prey.
The Razorbill is primarily black with a white underside. The male and female are identical in plumage; however, males are generally larger than females.
Razorbills dive deep into the sea using their wings and their streamlined bodies to propel themselves toward their prey. While diving, they rarely stay in groups, but rather spread out to feed. The majority of their feeding occurs at a depth of 25 meters but they have the ability to dive up to 120 meters below the surface. During a single dive an individual can capture and swallow many schooling fish, depending on their size. Razorbills spend approximately 44% of their time foraging at sea.
Spotted at Bempton Cliffs at the East Coast, UK.
In the days before RTT and Railcam, you had to be lucky to catch any unusual workings !
On the 20th October 1999 I assumed it was another MGR due when this turned up.
With thanks to Adrian (Marra Man ) this is a route learning train for volunteer drivers from sheds outwith the S&C area. This was for major engineering works and complete clousure of the S&C the following month ( November 1999 ). SVG (Special Volunteer Group) men from other depots who lodged in Carlisle during the blockade are learning the route from the front of this inspection saloon being propelled through Kirkby Stephen on the 20th October 1999 at 1402 by grey liveried 37674.
Feels SO GOOD to be back on Flickr. I feel like I've been away for ages. Hannah, Katie and I went to Tentsmuir Forest this evening to do a few photos which was great fun - I couldn't wait until tomorrow to edit the first one! I've got so many shots in my head that I need to get out so hopefully I'll be a lot more active on Flickr again this month!
The morning arrival from Chirk has propelled into Baglan Yard from Briton Ferry seen here at apx 08:15 preparing for loading. This working usually arrives around two hours later when the light is a bit side on, this earlier arrival allowed a much better shot.

68029 is propelling set CH02, it is working 3Q70 the 09.10 Stourbridge Junction Depot to Bicester North.
Having been held at the signals the train was leaving Birmingham Moor Street at a fair speed, the 2 lads ignore it, as their mobile phones were much more of interest.
This is the first of these sets I have seen with the lighter blue end of the loco leading.

91114 Durham Cathedral propels 1A45 17.45 Leeds - King's Cross southwards at Offord Cluny (south of Huntingdon). [Pole, 4.5/6 sections (~6m)]
The ideal spot to stand for this evening shot is in the field, just this side of the ditch (about quarter of the way from the bottom of the picture), and until a few months ago it was publicly accessible. Unfortunately, the land owner is now using the area for ponies and horses, and has erected fencing so that people can no longer stray from the public footpath to the railway foot crossing, while the gate is also now locked with a chain, a notice saying there is no public access to the permitted path.
But I thought there would probably be a shot from the road, using the pole to gain height. Unfortunately, if you stand beside the big gate to the field, you are too head-on and the gap between the lineside bushes on the left and catenary mast by the foot crossing is too small, meaning there is a very noticeable shadow of the catenary mast on the loco. Standing wider, however, means you have to see over a tall hedge - but that wasn't a problem with the pole! It took me a while to find the best spot (and even after taking this I moved slightly to the left, making slightly more of the Offord D'Arcy church spire and tower visible, but also reducing the gap for the train loco), and your positioning is also complicated by a telephone wire which you need to avoid as well as keep out of your picture.
I would have preferred the loco slightly more to the left in the gap between OHL masts, but this was the first frame without the shadow of a mast on the loco; the train is of course, on the Up Fast Line. The class 91 I later photographed heading north on the Down Fast almost got past that shadow before it was too far forward, but unfortunately came in very weak light. Trains on the Down Slow have no problem with the shadow, of course.
I debated whether to crop this to close to letterbox format as the field in the foreground had some interest. But I thought the train was too high in the frame, so made the crop to put it more central.
Strangely, I'd started my day just south of the Offords, going there for the first leg of UK Railtours' "The Platinum Jubilee", but got southbound and northbound 91s in sun but not the tour itself. I'd then chased the tour, and did succeed in getting it in sun, after which I came here to make use of the evening sunshine. The sun lights the front of northbound trains from about 7pm.

'Retro Liveried' 91119 propels 1Y00, 04:40 York - Kings Cross, south through Biggleswade at 06:30am.
Big thanks to AH for the early morning loco-allocation!
The Avro Shackleton was a British long-range maritime patrol aircraft used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the South African Air Force (SAAF). It was developed by Avro from the Avro Lincoln bomber, itself being a development of the famous wartime Avro Lancaster bomber. The type is named after the polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton.
This is the water I drink.. it tastes good, and has no sugar in it.
There were only two of these 12 packs in the water isle...so, I considered myself fortunate to grab one.. well, Rod and I go into the main isle... and there's a display where there's a whole bunch of them! We just laughed.

Over the course of the next session, I learned that Sally and Jack met on the set of a major production that propelled them both to a moderate degree of fame. Things took a downward turn after that, it seems, with both of them having difficulty getting any follow-up work. When talk of a 2001 sequel fell through, Jack began to drink heavily. The producers' subsequent announcement to protect the film from commercialization, and that the characters would not appear in any further works, only fueled Jack's addiction and downward spiral.
Sally turned to modeling and whatever small bits of work she could get to pay the bills. Her dream is to someday break-free of the role she's been so firmly typecast in - and that she now feels smothered by. She wants, more than anything, to experience the world in a different way... to sort of 'recreate' herself. She says she ended things with Jack. But I wonder - will she truly escape her past? I hope that someday, she will, finally, find what she's been looking for.
