Taken during a Meetup with the Cincinnati Camera & Photography Club held at E-Town Landfill & Recycling's yard in the North Bend suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio.
From the web:
"Bomag landfill compactors are multipurpose, heavy-duty machines that provide optimal utilization of capacity allowing the best possible compaction of household, construction and industrial waste materials.
The Bomag refuse compactor surpasses industry standards with its intelligent machine concepts and design making for a durable and efficient package for all landfill sites."
We have big changes in our lives coming up but thought I would drop in as today marks my last day as a waste manager at Adur and Worthing Councils after 20 years local government service. It's been an emotional week but new adventures await. I shall be back in the next few weeks to tell you all about them and hopefully I will be in a position to resume posting regularly once again

A solo AC44/60CW rebuild is finally on the move west as it leads UP train MASNP-21 down Main Track 2 of the UP KC Metro Sub at Hickory St.
After working Neff, the initial plan was to send this train onto the KCT and through Armourdale in order to bypass 18th St, and they made it as far as the top of The Incline waiting for a signal from KCT West End at Old Union Depot Interlocking. However, the Terminal refused to take the train due clearance issues on the Kaw River Bridge with their high-wide loads, the big cut of military equipment on the head end, so they ended up having to shove clear of Broadway, wait on a couple moves and finally begin moving west out of town, sewing up most of the KC Metro Sub in the process. 12/22/24.
One of three photos taken yesterday as I walked from my condo to Humber Bay Park West. The day was sunny and the walk helped me to cope with life and loss.
Thanks for visiting, enjoy each day.
Joshua refuses to take a picture with Santa (or anyone
else dressed up in a costume). But he will occasionally
pose for a photo even when his brother and sister will
not. I got this shot during a family hike up Provo Canyon.
I thought the lighting was incredible against a background
of red leaves. Joshua was the only person lucky enough
to take advantage of the scene.

Another unwanted leader refusing to stand down: one of the two old DCs that seem to still be active down here was leading a decent Train 934 today.
This news warranted a picture, but the sun is still pretty high in the sky until about 4:30pm these days, so instead of going south, I figured there might still be some nose sun on the Waitaki. And there almost was.
The plan was to get another pic before the crossing with 925 at Studholme and then follow that back south.
Unfortunately, predicted cloud from the south at this time was materialising, so having dodged it at the Waitaki bridge and effectively missing the crossing because of road works, I passed on 925 and pressed on to Scarborough after getting a shot at Hook, knowing the chances were slim.
Indeed as I neared the railway the train was ahead of me, but it slowed down considerably, such that I was alongside the locos by the end of the road. Within seconds of stopping, the flying camera was away, flipped into Speedy Mode and it made it along the beach before the train did.
One more short wait and I closed off the day with the train departing Timaru. A productive few hours indeed....
Train 934 10 Dec 2020, DCP 4801 DXB 5120, the northern outlet of Saltwater Creek at Scarborough - just in time, but cut off the back of the train (tsk, tsk), SIMT NZ
The streets were filled with foliage and broken trees from the storm. Now it's organised in neat piles, and teams of council workers and army dudes(!?!) are going around and dealing with it.
"Qué difícil habitar la piel de los otros; y qué necesario. Imaginar el sufrimiento cotidiano de los 60 millones de personas sin raíces y forzados a dejar sus hogares que buscan un lugar en el mundo".

In 1955, the late TRAINS Magazine editor, David P. Morgan, wrote what would become one of the greatest pieces of railroad literature in history - an article titled "The Mohawk That Refused to Abdicate." While relatively short, it covered the story of a worn out New York Central Mohawk locomotive on one of its last runs during the final days of steam.
Twenty years later, it and several other articles were compiled to create a book of the same name. This book and the initial article were the inspiration for me to pick up photography and writing.
Today (October 9, 2024), it was announced that another Mohawk is refusing to abdicate. The Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society has acquired this locomotive, No. 3001, which is one of only two surviving Mohawks. Currently displayed in Elkhart, Indiana, it will soon be moved to FWRHS' shop in New Haven for a full restoration to operating condition (as funding allows).
Since my career more or less started from a picture and article about a Mohawk still going strong in the age of diesels, news that this will continue with No. 3001 is very exciting for me, and I know I'm not the only one who can't wait to see it run again. It is no doubt that David P. Morgan would also be very pleased.
Pictured here is No. 3001 as it appeared in early 2024.
