Ring Pull Macro
A bit of midweek macro, this cider can was just sitting on the side, not mine this time :)
In push pull mode,33113 passes under Battledown flyover on 08/April/1989 with a Salisbury to Waterloo service
CP pulls empties out of the former Cargill elevator complex on Rices Point in Duluth. There were two cuts, one made up of UP cars and one cut BNSF. My eye was also on the retired and scheduled for scrap laker J.B. Ford at Azcon in the distance. Sad fate for this boat.
It took about 45 minutes for the alligator to finally take the bait. The Gator Dude was fishing from the pier as the campers watched. The bait that he used was a quarter of a chicken attached to a 5 inch hook and a heavy duty cord. The gator would play with the bait, take it under the water and then let it go. This happened over and over until he ate the bait...hook and all. It took both the park ranger and the gator dude to pull him out of the water, death rolls and all.
With the recent news that the 'Blue Pullers' have been withdrawn from these trains and replaces with tired BNSF SD70MACs I figured I'd share a few more from my whirlwind trip to Montana Rail Link in September 2022 before the end.
Here is the empty returning 'Day Gas' from Pipeline just east of Thompson Falls headed back to Missoula. This train and its evening counterpart were arguably the most popular trains on the entirety of the over 900 mile long system. This was because this pair of trains always ran with blue MRL units and were the only trains guaranteed to do so west of Missoula. Additionally the westbound night gas made for a perfect chase into the sun while the returning eastbound day gas offered a perfectly lit counterpart chase east making them a rail photographers dream.
SD70ACes 4408 and 4406 (both built new for the road in Apr. 2014) lead a string of empties near the old NP station of Perma beside the Flathead River at about MP 54 on the modern day MRL's 10th Subdivision mainline. This is the original Northern Pacific Railway mainline that opened in 1883 as the second transcontinental railroad. This route was largely supplanted in 1909 when the NP completed a cut off between the mainline at Paradise and the Coeur d'Alene Branch at St. Regis creating a water level route from DeSmet (just west of Missoula) that exists today as MRL's 4th Subdivision Mainline. In days of old the 10th Sub over Evaro Hill was largely the domain of passenger trains though today MRL sees fit to use it for empty eastbound unit trains. The only exception to the rule are the gas locals which seem to take this route west whenever they can due to their light tonnage which allows them to make the hill with ease while shaving off nearly 30 miles.
As for these gas trains, they were a strictly MRL affair having come into being in 1995 when a gap was created in the 40 yr old and 531 mile long Yellowstone Pipeline when the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribe chose not to renew the pipeline company's lease of 21 miles of right of way across their Flathead Indian Reservation.

Having been held for a Carlisle-Leeds unit, Gresley designed 'A4' 4-6-2 no.60009 ‘Union of South Africa’ pulls away from the semaphore signal as she heads through Settle Junction.
Taken on a Landscape Photography workshop with Antony Spencer and Jason Theaker.

Focal length: 12mm;

Cokin 3 stop ND grad + 2 stop ND filters stacked (hence the pink tones);
pink welly boots (this involved lots of running back from the waves rather quickly to avoid said boots getting filled);
edited in Lightroom.
I rather liked the pink tones stacking 2 Cokin filters produced - I've muted them a bit, but anyone who knows me knows I'm a fan of all things pink (technology being a notable exception - that should be shiny piano black or chrome). I love the cloud reflections in this image, overlaid with the textures of the tide being pulled back in. The sea is so awesome.
IT is a rolling artwork at the exhibition Your Light Is My Life by Czech artist Krištof Kintera @ Kunsthal Rotterdam.
The artist takes IT by his side as he walks down the street.

Haulin’ ore, but not a lot of it? Why pull out the big guns with a large hauler? They’re bulky, cumbersome and hard to maneuver.
Introducing the M-Tron Small Ore Hauler. Specially designed for all your small ore transportation needs. This little rover boasts a powerful engine, tow hitch with removable storage bed and an open air concept.
The M-Tron Small Ore Hauler stays on brand with its M-Tron color pallet which invokes a sense of professionalism, trust, and commitment that the M-Tron brand has stood for in the galactic mining community for decades.
Don’t trust your ore and mining needs to just anyone. Trust M-Tron. Hail us now or visit our subspace network holosite to talk to our service reps today and get haulin’!!

BTS - So gang! This is the last image for my contribution to Febrovery 2021. Hope you enjoyed these few images! It was fun being back!!
So M-Tron and I have a funny relationship. You guys know me as the Nova Team and Neo-Classic Space guy. But growing up, I played a lot of Futuron, M-Tron, Blacktron I/II, Space Police I/II and Ice Planet. Sure, I'm the right age for some later Classic Space, I just got into LEGO Space a tad late, but always looked at CS longingly. So all these years as an AFOL, I've been compensating for not having CS growing up. Haha! So theme's like M-Tron I look back on very nostalgically, so a while back I built a few M-Tron things and this little rover was one of them (some day I'll get around to photographing the other stuff).
Fans of the theme will quickly see that I was very much invoking the original M-Tron box art when editing this photo. Because I was trying to make it - dare I say "realistic" - I opted not to put the rad 90's line grid in the background. I had a lot of fun doing this one! Oh and yeah, the Nova Team logo is there because M-Tron does exist in that universe! I do plan on doing a crossover event one day. Hope you guys like it!

IC 6252 pulls pellet cars off Dock 2 at Two Harbors. In the distance are cars loaded with the final BFT cargo for the 2018 season, to be loaded into the Cason J Callaway.
CSXT L007, the weekday Middleboro to Attleboro turn, is climbing the hill up from the Win Waste facility back toward the Myles Standish Industrial lead with their three GP40-2s and a cut of outbound loaded trash cars. This important and relatively new customer that has breathed new life into the Myles Standish Industrial Lead which is accessed from Attleboro Junction at MP 8.6 on the Middleboro Secondary mainline a bit over a half mile behind me where they dropped the balance of their train on their way back east from Attleboro.
The Middleboro Sub is strange in that it is owned by MassDOT and dispatched and maintained by Mass Coastal, but CSX still operates it and serves the customers as the direct corporate successor of CR, PC, NH, and all the way back to the Old Colony Railroad. In fact this particular segment of line here on the Myles Standish was opened in 1836 by OCRR predecessor Taunton Branch Railroad making it one of the oldest rail routes in New England. Becoming a mainline for the Old Colony it survived as a secondary through route under New Haven aegis seeing its last passenger train pass shortly before the connection with the shoreline was severed at Mansfield in 1955 to make way for a highway grade separation project. The tracks into Mansfield center lasted until about 1966 for freight service served from this end, but then were abandoned leaving only the present 1.5 mile stub still in use today up to the large industrial park.

...love these so much!
...just back from the Happibug Spa! Thank you SO much, Lynne! I adore her...love everything about her! The pull rings are awesome too!
She is named after Samantha on Bewitched...because she is so bewitching!
The last time I saw a switching movement on the IANR CFU branch was on March 15th when they pulled all the cars out of CFU storage due to impending flooding. Also, the line has been cut for at least two months while 1st street reconstruction can proceed. Only recently has the line at 1st street been restored. I saw the tail end of a movement on Sept 22 as the switchers left, after depositing 40+ cars in the yard.
System of cracks at Thingvellir in Iceland. Iceland lies on the mid-Atlantic ridge, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates separate. In this area is a system of cracks that together form a separation zone, as the plates gradually pull apart. This pool fills one of the larger cracks.
Getting ready for a Christmas parade!

About the Ebook
As a self-challenge for December 2021 a photo was taken every day up to Christmas Day (sometimes multiple photos a day) featuring 1/6 scale dioramas, Elf on the Shelf and Santa to celebrate the upcoming holiday. For any collector of smaller scaled items this is a must for any fan of Christmas in general.

Edinburgh - May 2018
One of Norwich's well known spots along the River Wensum, The building was originally a watergate from the 15th-Century. It is named after a ferryman from the late 18th-Century, John Pull.
This little motor pulled the tea wagon to the show today. One of the few vehicles I could get close enough to and get a photo.
Had a lovely day today. All nice and relaxed and slow. Much needed
This rock was pulled out with this metal chain. This rock came to rest here but the chain was left over winter, till its final resting place is found.
The sun is setting fast on May 30, 2019. As I took this photo, I wondered how many Hoggers had pulled on the horn cord.

no need for mind altering drugs when TDC are on the job
TDC are responsible for a large number of the projections at Vivid Sydney this year (and previous ones) and once again they have pulled some great displays out of their top hats.
This one was a particular favorite of mine and is sure to be a real hit with eh punters on opening (and subsequent nights) - its fully interactive with sensors so that a number of people can control the display, including the levers :)
This is a couple of shots after the pull the lever sequence that really work well, the 3D nature and clarity to the animations and images is quite amazing and its great to see the content provider's and TDC really stepping up to plate in terms of new and innovative displays.
Be sure to get down there and visit Vivid Sydney, the best nights are typically mondays since its a bit quieter, but don't tell everyone ;)
