As an eastbound BNSF intermodal train highballs toward the decrepit Lexington Road Bridge in downtown Henrietta, the lights of the approaching Amtrak Southwest Cheif can be seen on Main One as it approaches from behind in a high-speed train race down the BNSF Marceline Subdivision.

An eastbound ACELA was zipping along the Northeast Corridor as a westbound Regional recedes in the distance.
The NEC was quiet for a while and then all hell broke loose for a minute or so.
Only a couple of miles down the road from me and the lorry racing is always good viewing. More pics to follow
I can't begin to describe the sheer joy of being with this exuberant pod of dolphin as they raced alongside our boat. What a magical moment it was!

Second time I see a black 918 with Martini stripes, I'm beginning to get bored with... Hope to see red or yellow 918 soon

Reading Blue Mountain & Northern T-1 no. 2102 is seen racing down the line between South Tamaqua and West Penn, as seen from the adjacent Clamtown Rd. The locomotive was originally built for the Reading Railroad as a 2-8-0 by Baldwin in 1925, but was rebuilt in-house into a 4-8-4 in 1945. The Reading discontinued steam operations in 1956, after which 2102 operated a variety of tourist and excursion services before being acquired by the current owners and eventually retired in 1991, later being restored to operating condition in 2022.

An evening well spent at the Racetrack Playa @ the Death Valley National Park. I have seen many photos taken from head-on the moving rocks. Thought a wide shot with a few rocks on tracks will make a more interesting shot! Here they are!
Firstly the road was rough. We rented a 4WD Rubicon from inside the park at a hefty $$ but in the end was all worth it! It was a excruciating 2 hour drive at 15 Mph that may give soars to folks with soft tushy! But the view of the valley are beautiful. You see large valleys covered with Joshua Trees, more than what you actually see in the Joshua Tree National Park itself! We arrived at the Playa around 2 PM but had to wait a couple hours for the sun to come down. As the golden hours came nearing the whole Playa was lit up with the reflected mellow light. The orange pink hues filled the horizon and everything looked blessed!
Some interesting details from WIKI: Racetrack is dry for almost the entire year and has no vegetation. When dry, its surface is covered with small but firm hexagonal mud crack polygons that are typically 3 to 4 inches (7.5 to 10 cm) in diameter and about an inch (2.5 cm) thick. The polygons form in sets of three mud cracks at 120° to each other. A few days after a precipitation event, small mud curls, otherwise known as “corn flakes” form on the playa surface. Absence of these indicates that wind or another object has scraped away the tiny mud curls.
Sailing stone in Racetrack Playa:During the bimodal rainy season (summer and especially winter) a shallow cover of water deposits a thin layer of fine mud on and between the polygons of Racetrack. Heavier winter precipitation temporarily erases them until spring when the dry conditions cause new mud cracks to form in the place of the old cracks. Sandblasting wind continually helps to round the edges of exposed polygons. Annual precipitation is 3 to 4 inches (75 to 100 mm) and ice cover can be 1 to 2.5 inches (2.5 to 6.5 cm) thick. Typically only part of the playa will flood in any given year.
The sailing stones are a geological phenomenon found in the Racetrack. Slabs of dolomite and syenite ranging from a few hundred grams to hundreds of kilograms inscribe visible tracks as they slide across the playa surface, without human or animal intervention. Instead, rocks move when ice sheets just a few millimeters thick start to melt during periods of light wind. These thin floating ice panels ice shove the rocks at up to five meters per minute.GAU_2069-Pano-Edit
