Più di tre anni e mezzo fa ho pubblicato l'ultima foto su Flickr. Poi i profili a pagamento, le limitazioni a 1000 foto, e ho abbandonato.
In questi giorni, molto stanca di vedere reel, video senza senso, attimi tutti uguali filmati e montati su colonne sonore tutte uguali, mi è tornato in mente Flickr.
Dopo un paio di giorni avevo già riattivato l'account ed eccomi qua.
Ho deciso che dopo questa breve ri-presentazione continuerò da dov'ero rimasta, da quell'ultima foto a cui ne sono seguite più di 600 su altre piattaforme. La pazienza non mi manca.
Tornare qui è stato "traumatico" sotto diversi punti di vista. Mi è sembrato di togliere la polvere da un reperto archeologico dimenticato. Ho riguardato tutti i miei vecchi scatti, ho riconosciuto foto profilo che ricordavo come se le avessi viste il giorno prima e stili fotografici altrettanto riconoscibili.
Spero che per me sarà un ritorno stimolante. E se non lo sarà, chissà..

More than three and a half years ago I posted the last photo on Flickr. Then the paid profiles, the 1000 photo limitations, and I dropped out.
These days, very tired of seeing reels, nonsense videos, moments all the same filmed and edited on soundtracks all the same, Flickr came back to my mind.
After a couple of days I had already reactivated the account and here I am.
I have decided that after this brief re-presentation I will continue from where I left off, from that last photo which was followed by more than 600 on other platforms. I am not lacking in patience.
Coming back here was "traumatic" from several points of view. I felt like I was removing the dust from a forgotten archaeological find. I went through all my old shots, I recognized profile photos that I remembered as if I had seen them the day before and equally recognizable photographic styles.
I hope it will be an inspiring return for me. And if it won't, who knows..
Pickens U18B 9508 takes a single hopper East across what is now just a stub track that once connected to the line from downtown Anderson to Homeland Park. It branches off of the relatively recently reactivated spur to CMC Recycling, where the crew had just spotted five empty gons, and dead ends below where I'm standing to take this shot. The majority of the line still exists and is connected from the other end, serving as space for storage cars as there are currently no customers on the branch. The hopper the crew is taking to Belton will be spotted at Tri County Fertilizer. Anderson, SC

Shunting run in the Agravis siding by RPRS with a fertilizer train. First operation after reactivation of the siding.
One rescued from the archives as I was going through photos to delete to reach 1000 (with the changes to flickr). I gave up on that and decided to reactivate my pro membership.
Running around 7 hours late, SCT Intermodal service 2MP9 works through Mile End on the mainline behind the unusual combination of C503/EL60/EL62/CSR012/CF4403/SCT006 on Tuesday the 20th of July 2021.
C503 has just been returned to service by Rail First Asset Management at Islington Workshops after 7 years out of action due to a dead engine, the unit currently in the hands of SCT on trial before it's sent to Western Australia to work Watco's Nickel contract.
The C worked to Dooen with EL62/EL60 on 5PM9 on the 18th, the three units next worked the Dooen Container service (7922V) on the 19th before returning to SA the next day, the loco was later transferred to WA via SCT's 7MP9 on the 17th of October after returning to Islington Workshops for attention.

Recently reactivated CSX CW40-8 #7794 leads Detroit-bound M510 north on the Toledo Subdivision through Troy, OH. It would have been nice to have a YN2 Dash 8 leading, but I'll take what I can get considering I don't have any other pictures of Dash 8s leading on the Toledo Sub.
I don't think so, 603 has suffered unecessary storage and finally it's reactivated!
C510, BRM002, 603 and C505 lead loaded Allied Pinnacle grain train 3244 into Picton. 603 has been stored since 2013 and SSR have recently put the time into reactivating it. Given how useful and reliable similar locos 602 and 4532 it is welcoming to see this loco back.

Stored UP power at Missouri Valley. Some would be reactivated in the summer of 2017, but most are probably razor blades now.
Approaching West Leavenworth on the BNSF St. Joseph Sub is BNSF train D-ALNTOP1-29T, a power move bringing 25 Dash 9's from storage in Alliance, NE to Topeka, KS to be reactivated. An AC4400CW and a GEVO are the working power on the head end, and an ACe was assisting on the rear. 10/31/20.
A few years ago, in Blue Rapids, Kansas. A good photo friend took me down into the basement in one of the buildings, built in the late 1880's on the round town square. Down in there in the unlit basement with a dirt floor were several 1940's Bowling scoring tables from a long gone Bowling Alley. They almost looked like alien robots, waiting for the return of the mother ship to be reactivated. Image made with a Pentax K1
Dropping down Independence Hill UP Train AASFX 11 has an SD90MAC leader as it approaches Rock Creek Jct. on Main Track 2 of the UP Sedalia Sub. Union Pacific is currently putting its active SD90's back into storage so catching one on the point is fortunate. This is the 2nd time I've run across this engine since its reactivation back in April; it led the MHOKC 14 into Kansas City on 6-16-18.

The Eastern Columbia Building, also known as the Eastern Columbia Lofts, is a thirteen-story Claud Beelman designed Art Deco building located at 849 S. Broadway in the Broadway Theater District of Downtown Los Angeles. It opened on September 12, 1930 after just nine months of construction.[2] It was built at a cost of $1.25 million as the new headquarters and 39th store for the Eastern Outfitting Company and the Columbia Outfitting Company, furniture and clothing stores founded by Adolph Sieroty and family.[3][4] At the time of construction, the City of Los Angeles enforced a height limit of 150 feet, however the decorative clock tower was granted an exemption, allowing the clock a total height of 264 feet.
The building is widely considered the greatest surviving example of Art Deco architecture in the city (Jose Huizar)[14] following the 1969 destruction of Richfield Tower.[8] It is one of the city's most photographed structures[15] and a world-renowned Art Deco landmark.[16] It has been characterized as the "benchmark of deco buildings in LA".[17][18]
On June 23, 2005, the long-defunct clock tower was reactivated in a ceremony with city and preservation leaders to celebrate the building's 75th anniversary.[19][20] Developer KOR Group, in conjunction with Killefer Flammang Architects, completed a two-year $80-million renovation of the building in 2006, turning the property into 147 condominiums, with interior redesign completed by the firm Kelly Wearstler Interior Design[9][15][21][22][23][24] These live/work lofts showcase the timeless details of the early 20th century along with modern upgrades.[25] The project earned California Construction Magazine's Best Redevelopment in 2007, McGraw Hill’s Best Redevelopment of '07 Award, and the 2007 Multi-Housing News Adaptive Reuse Award.[26] The Eastern Columbia Lofts earned a 2008 Los Angeles Conservancy Preservation Award.[2] The building is a participant in the Mills Act Historic Property Contracts
Five yellowjackets kill time on the service tracks at Ridgefield Park. Of note is the 3618, one of two remaining and recently reactivated SD45s on the roster, is west out on the fuel pad.
A trio of GP60s power Union Pacific local LPS15 just east of New Offenburg, Missouri, on the Ste. Genevieve Industrial Lead. The train is headed Southwest towards Bismarck with 20 loads from Mississippi Lime near Ste. Genevieve, Missouri.
The title was the name given to the train by the crew as it made its way across the hilly Missouri countryside. Flood walls along the Mississippi River have cut off the traffic's normal route north from Ste. Genevieve utilizing trackage rights on BNSF's River Subdivision. When this happens, Union Pacific reactivates the western 28 miles of this industrial lead to keep Mississippi Lime from shutting down.
When the Mississippi stays within its banks, it can be years between trains on this scenic, but hard to shoot section of UP.
CSX M452-10 brings it north through the dumping rain in Folkston with recently reactivated GE Dash 8 #7792 in the lead.

Founded in 1957 as Satellite Records, the name Stax Records was adopted in 1961. The label was a major factor in the creation of the Southern soul and Memphis soul music styles, also releasing gospel, funk, jazz, and blues recordings. While Stax is renowned for its output of African-American music, the label was founded by two white businesspeople, Jim Stewart and his sister Estelle Axton, and featured several popular ethnically-integrated bands, including the label's house band, Booker T. & the MG's.
Following the death of Stax's biggest star, Otis Redding, in 1967 and the severance of the label's distribution deal with Atlantic Records in 1968, Stax continued primarily under the supervision of a new co-owner, Al Bell. Over the next five years, Bell expanded the label's operations significantly, in order to compete with Stax's main rival, Motown Records in Detroit. During the mid-1970s, a number of factors, including a problematic distribution deal with CBS Records, caused the label to slide into insolvency, resulting in its forced closure in late 1975.
In 1977, Fantasy Records acquired the post-1968 Stax catalog, as well as selected pre-1968 recordings. Beginning in 1978, Stax (now owned by Fantasy) began signing new acts and issuing new material, as well as re-issuing previously recorded Stax material. However, by the early 1980's no new material was being issued on the label, and for the next two decades, Stax was strictly a re-issue label.
After Concord Records acquired Fantasy in 2004, the Stax label was reactivated, and is today used to issue both the 1968–1975 catalog material and new recordings by current R&B/soul performers. Atlantic Records continues to hold the rights to the vast majority of the 1959-1968 Stax material.
Rochester and Southern train BL-1 makes its way past a grain evelator in York, NY. Recently an ex B&O sleeper that was at this location has been moved, and the industry reactivated.
The reactivation of some of One Rail Australia's GM class locomotives during mid 2021 has supplemented the operator’s running roster during a major locomotive shortage, the 4 operational class members are used semi-regularly out of Adelaide and Port Augusta for maintenance services, grain trains and local duties.
Empty ORA grain service 1281S to Tailem Bend disturbs the ambience of suburban Millswood with the classic combination of CLP8/ALF22/GM46/FQ01/FQ03 on Monday the 10th of January 2022. This is the first time GM46 has been in the Adelaide Hills since mid 2015, the unit only returning to traffic from a lengthy reactivation at the start of November 2021.
ORA have recently been purchased by Australia's largest rail operator, Aurizon. Aurizon's take over of SA/NT operations is expected to commence sometime between January and April 2022.

18 years ago today, back when the sun shone in spring time!
After EWS finished with 56s & 56078 was switched off on the 30th March 2004, everyone thought that was the end of 56s on the mainline. Just over 2 years later & they were back! Fastline reactivated 56045 (now renumbered to 56301) for use on its intermodal services & 2 other examples were to follow suit a little later.
56301 on its 1st train back on the mainline works 6Z56 10:05 Doncaster Hexthorpe - Derby loaded test run through Chevin on the 4th April 2006
At last light, a run-through manifest from UP works its way south across the Sanitary and Ship Canal bridge at Ash Street Crossing on NS's Chicago Junction. To the left, one of the spans that once carried Pennsy's "Panhandle" main is in the process of being reactivated for use by BNSF traffic using a new route between Cicero and Corwith yards.
For this I reactivated my good old and battered 50D again. Definitely need a bigger Tele lens for my full frame camera
Reactivated DBZ2301, DBZ2302, DBZ2305 being used for driver training at Mount Kokeby on 17 August 2019.
Iowa Interstate's BICB-06 crosses the Mississippi River and CPKC's Davenport Subdivision on its way west to South Amana. The Mississippi River floodwaters are still high in downtown Davenport, but things are returning to normal as far as the railroad is concerned with the reactivation of signals and fewer track patrols.

The not so common sight these days of a Jumbo 747 at Heathrow. Cargologic had all but closed when the world pandemic meant the airline needed to be reactivated due to cargo demand.
Three SD60Ms and one SD60 charge through the West Bottoms on Main Track 2 on the UP KC Metro Sub at St. Louis Ave. as they head for UP's Neff Yard on UP train MSIKC-23.
From 2014 into 2015, UP reactivated the SD60-SD60M fleet due to the increase of traffic. However, they were typically being used on yard jobs, transfers, locals, and short distance manifests as seen in the above photograph. 1/24/15.
The reactivation of some One Rail Australia GM class locomotives during 2021 has supplemented the operator’s running roster during a major locomotive shortage, the 4 operational class members are used semi-regularly out of Adelaide and Port Augusta for maintenance services, grain trains and local duties however do get the occasional chance to rescue ORA's failed services.
Running around 8 and a half hours late due to various locomotive issues, ORA Intermodal service 5DA2 from Darwin to Adelaide slows for a crew change past ORA's Dry Creek North Yard with the unusual combination of GM47/CLF6/ALF20/CLF5/CLP14 on Saturday the 27th of November 2021. GM47/CLF6 ran Light Engine from Spencer Junction to Pimba earlier in the day as D811S to assist the struggling Intermodal down to Adelaide after issues with CLP14, CLF5 and later CLF6.
One Rail Australia has been in the news recently with the operation purchased by Australia's largest rail operator in the form of Aurizon. Aurizon's take over of ORA's operations is expected to commence sometime between January and April 2022, with some small details to be finalised before the takeover.

The low walls of the slightly rebuilt Relics of Recreation and Reactivation still have an abiding air about them. The Sauna Room of the Four Temperature Controlled Rooms here catches the shadows falling into the structures as the light streams past.
Mediobogdum Roman Fort on Hardknott Pass in the Lake District has some great slightly rebuilt ruins. The light on this evening was a splendid Sun bath and banquet lighting the way to older notions and even initiation upon a ladder of lights that illuminated all of the ways to become enlightened, ignited and rejoicing in the light. This remote mountain pass with amazing ruin is an almost unbelievable location to find history and to enjoy mystery.

WN GP15-1 1500 works slowly east at MP 93 (2 miles east of Barron, WI) on the morning of August 5, 2010. The 93 is obviously not a speed board and I was aware of the warning on the bulkhead flats as this train wobbled along on what once was the Soo Line's Minneapolis to Sault St. Marie mainline. The 1500 East had 11 cars on this part of their morning run from Barron to Cameron.
This is what the Barron Sub. looked like in 2010 after years of deferred maintenance by the Soo, WC, and CN. Wisconsin Northern started in 2004 and picked up this Cameron to Barron section, along with the short segment to Rice Lake from CN. They got the Barron Sub. mostly to serve Jennie-O in Barron. They also leased the former CNW line from Norma to Cameron from UP, reactivating the stretch from Chetek to Cameron to connect with the lines they picked up from CN.
In 2010, The WN based their one job out of Norma (just north of Chippewa Falls) and made the slow trip up to Rice Lake and Barron once or twice per week. Power for these WN trains was a GP15-1 on each end, except for a brief time after the road's start-up when they leased Iowa Northern Geeps.
The Wisconsin Northern and this Barron Sub. was about to change drastically though. In 2011, the first sand plant on the WN was built. Bigger power was brought in to serve what would end up being multiple plants with multiple jobs. One of the WN baby tunnel motors remains, but this 1500 was eventually shipped out to another PGR operation in California.
CN took back the east/west Barron Sub. from the Wisconsin Northern on Dec. 1, 2012, to tap into the sand themselves. They also took back the section to Rice Lake, part of the original lease. CN put the dormant stretch from Ladysmith to Cameron back into service and rebuilt Ladysmith to Poskin to mainline standards. They never put the Jennie-O switch back in and they no longer receive rail.
I did catch CN's daily local a few miles east of here this summer. Was cool to see it roll down the welded rail at 40MPH. Quite the difference on the Barron Sub. from the WN days of 2010.
WN still has one of their two original GP15-1 on the line to work the north end of their property. WN 1501 usually handles freight on the Chetek to Cameron (south of the Highway 8 bridge) section, but this 1500 was reportedly sent to another PGR operation in California.
NREX 6301 leads a northbound DM&E freight through Clinton, IA. This SD40-2 is back on home rails since it was built for the Milwaukee Road in the 1970s. It was MILW 17 before going to the Soo Line and then into the EMD lease fleet. This loco is sort of back from the dead--it spent several months in the NRE backlot down at Silvis, IL before being reactivated in early 2011.
4814 and 48s28 seen at Mittagong hauling a dead attached R1004 from Broadmeadow to Goulburn as D462. R1004 was taken to Goulburn to begin work on reactivating the unit for service. R1001 (a locomotive not unlike the Western Australian L Class) is at EDI Cardiff similarily being prepared to re-enter service. R1004 is owned by Qube Rail, while R1001 is owned by LocoLease Australia.
Recently reactivated, rebuilt, and repainted SD75M 288 is tied down in the yard at Barstow, IL. About 4 days worth of locals from Galesburg never made the return trip to Galesburg so road power was in plenty of supply earlier this week.

Mine run R800 creeps down the Pine Mountain Branch outside of Williamsburg, Kentucky, with a train of coal loads from Gatliff Mine. CSX only recently reactivated this branch, and it's only operated once or twice a week. We managed to drive up to the mine precisely as a train was preparing to double over and leave! Talk about luck!
PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.
Cape Tormentine is the eastern most point in New Brunswick.
The lighthouse is atthe end of the former Cape Tormentine ferry wharf, both were made obsolete by the opening of the Confederation Bridge in 1997. At the request of local fishermen, who still use the harbour, the front light was reactivated in 1998. The present front light was put in place in the 1940s. The light is 11 meters (33ft) high with an unusual pepperpot shape. The light was in a bad state of disrepair in 2021 and requires major work to be done.
Recently reactivated after a few months in store are these three former ATP BMC's, now part of the Arriva Malta training fleet.
This plane was out of action for 6 months and thought I missed my chance to see it but it was reactivated and repainted last month and was happy to catch this oldie after all. Turned out to be a scrape as I saw this frame before as VN-A189 of Pacific Airlines at Ho Chin Min City in 2006.
Asiana Airlines HL7634 Airbus A380-861 is pictured on finals into Los Angeles (LAX) as OZ202 from Seoul. The aircraft recently returned to service in late August having been inactive since March 2020.

4903 and 4906 roll through Muswellbrook with an LVR Charter to Moree, in North West NSW, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the "Garah Picnic Races". Garah is located 724km from Sydney by rail, and is located towards the end of the Mungindi line, which stretches to the NSW/QLD border.
4903 and 4906 had only recently been purchased by LVR from Patrick and returned to service, this being their first trip since they were reactivated. 4903 and 4906 are not strangers to this line, having previously operated to the north-west of the state with Patrick PortLink trains in years past. In their final months with Patrick PortLink, they operated the container shuttle that ran between Port Botany and Patricks Camelia terminal, until, in the last week of operations, and after many weeks of neglect, they finally failed and were set aside at Port Botany (many thought until they rusted to the rails and fell apart). Who knows what (and where) this new lease of life will lead to, although it is rumoured that the 49's are to be used on more mainline LVR operations, allowing the 47 class to be leased out for revenue service elsewhere.
Conrail GP35's 3641 and 2349 are below one of the humps in Conway Yard on August 29, 1992. Conrail would reactivate some of these older stored units every now and then, and they usually would be used in helper service on the hill out of the Beaver Valley or on the "locals" such as HNPI/PIHN.
"Northbound"
Due to all the wars and crises along the path from Japan to Europe, airlines had to reactivate the almost forgotten polar routes.
Flying over these remote areas poses special threats, like erratic compasses, extreme cold temperatures and being very far away from the next landing possibility in case of unexpected problems.
On the other hand, the route offers unusual views, like the Aurora Borealis I was able to record during my Swiss International Air Lines flight over the Bering-, the Chukchi-Sea and eastern Alaska.
