Ironic story goes with this photo. When I arrived at this site, another photographer was set up, waiting for this egret to land on this branch. I kept my distance, so as not to interfere. After about 1/2 hour, the egret landed nearby and I as saw him start to leap to this perch, I called to the other photographer. But he'd bend over to retrieve something from his bag and didn't look up in time.
GP40-2W MEC 516 on CSXT's ex Pan Am local BO-1 is seen inside the Rousselot plant for the last time as they pick up the final empty hydrochloric acid tank car. The facility is closing later this year after being in operation in some form for 206 years and with rail service for 173 of those! This may very well be the last time a train is ever seen on these rails, about 2 1/2 miles from Salem via pieces of the old Boston and Maine Danvers and South Reading Branches. Rousselot was the very last rail served customer on the north shore of Boston and come the following day nothing but window trains will ever polish the rails east of Everett Junction unless by some miracle other freight rail customers manifest themselves in the future.
It was a sad and historic day indeed....but I'm grateful I was able to witness it and document it with so many others. Thanks to Conductor Maher for making the classy signs that adorned the front and rear of 516 for this trip.

Aria retrieved the ball, and Pippin followed closely. So, Aria decided to get him involved, by turning her head to him, proffering the ball. This is as he took the bait and joined her. The next shot (to be posted later), they shared it.

‘By the time we put together the pieces of a Mandalorian-shaped puzzle that led to downtown Corellia, it looked as though we were too late. A group of rogue Mandalorians had slowly slipped through the planetary blockade with smuggled shipments of weapons - all part of a plan to sabotage Republic shipyards supplying the Open Circle fleet. As I had stood next to the data officers at the local command post it was obvious that the Separatists were planning a full-on coup, led by fanatical gangs and nationalist groups.
Republic intelligence was terrified, to put it lightly. Without the new air reinforcements that Corellia’s ship-building industry was preparing, the Outer Rim Sieges could be slowed significantly - if not brought to a halt.
Along with several other units across the planet, a plan was developed to make a coordinated strike at the Separatist cells, and hit ‘em hard. Along with a small squad, my task was to move into the nasty end of town and capture a warehouse containing what reconnaissance identified as rocket launchers, artillery and other munitions. Rounding a corner, we closed in on the target. A Mandalorian stood guard besides a blaster cannon, and I waited for the signal.
BEEP. Two shots from my pistols took the target in the shoulder and then the helmet, leaving him sprawled on the ground. The time to strike was now - or never.’

Name: CT-6125 ‘Judge’
Home World: Kamino
Age: 14
Species: Human
Class: Trooper
Faction: Galactic Empire
Brutal when compared to the other clones that emerged from the training programs, Judge is a Clone Trooper raised on Kamino like all others. He excelled at strategy tests but sparked concern for his use of unconventional - and often merciless - tactics. Initially given his nickname as an insult, ‘Judge’ came from CT-6125’s quickness to make serious decisions - often leading to casualties, which he never considered a concern. A supporter of the Empire’s relentless crackdown on resistance, Judge is willing to see through an assignment no matter the human costs.
We got up early to get Benni a good run before it gets too hot only to find the school fields all padlocked and closed, "For Maintenance". Benni walked to each gate and finally we found one open - see below:
After retrieving several empty boxcars from a local business in downtown Ely, Nevada Northern Locomotive #40 brings her train of empties into the snowy East Ely Yard for disposition. The train is pictured passing a string of ore hoppers next to the RIP shed, with the engine house in the background. This image was captured during a February 2010 winter photo shoot at the Nevada Northern Railway Museum in Ely, NV.
The tracks of the Nevada Norther Railway used to run from the East Ely Yard to a passenger depot downtown, but that trackage was removed in the late 1930s when passenger traffic on the line was rapidly being replaced by bus service. For many years, the track which had gone downtown literally dead-ended right behind the engine house. In recent years, the present-day Nevada Northern Railway Museum has proposed rebuilding the line to downtown, and some track has been laid. It remains to be seen if that project will come to fruition.
York Rail GP15-1, temporarily assigned to Providence and Worcester local CT-1, retrieves empties from Kloeckner Metals in Middletown, Connecticut.

We introduced the dumbbell to our hold/retrieve exercises a few weeks ago. I've been very careful in trying not to 'poison' the dumbbell and make it a negative association, and so far I think we're doing ok. Part of the training I'd like to pursue with him requires a dumbbell retrieve so we keep on practising.
While Della was at the beach with her Lab friend she learned how to fetch a bumper. She was a little tentative at first but learned very quickly!

Three tired Trona SD40 series' push eastward to retrieve two leased UP SD60s at the Searles interchange 25 miles away. As the sun dips behind the desert ridges, the fading light casts a quiet farewell—ushering the railroad into a new era.

After retrieving their C40-8 locomotive from the siding at Rugby Junction (see the image posted previous to this one) – the crew of Canadian National rock train L704 has run light engine up to the gravel pit at spur 126 to pull their loaded train, then shoved it down to Slinger siding to complete the power run around.
Now finally ready to get underway, the CN 2027 south is crossing Kettle Moraine Drive in Slinger, Wisconsin and heading down to Leithton, Illinois on a fine morning back in June of 2015. ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©

This gull went in for the catch, but couldn't hang on to it. Here he's going in to retrieve the morsel.
Retrieving loaded grain hoppers at the grain facility in Urbana. This trackage is the former PRR Panhandle main from Columbus to Union City. The once busy double track main line has been mostly pulled up. Urbana has a 4 mile section still in use today by the I&O Railway.

A task left to the boys and men of the fishing village in Padgudpud, Philippines is pulling their very heavy wooden fishing boat back to shore beyond the reach of high tide.
This golden retriever noticed this floating in the river so he decided to jump into the water and bring it back to shore. It was as almost as long as he was

The green pair made an extra run today as a crew from NTW headed up to Staples light power early in the morning to retrieve a block of cars. The train is in Big Lake heading back to Northtown. It was also nice to have Mr. McGarvey alongside!

This photo is one of a series taken on our excursion to Pulau Ketam, or Crab Island, located off the west coast of Malaysia leaving from Port Klang. Most islanders live in homes built on stilts with their boats docked near their place of residence.
In port, large ships are commanded by pilots who guide the ships through the harbor.
Once back on the seas, the ship's captain takes over and the pilot is returned to the harbor in a small boat.
The transfer takes place while the ship is underway. With the pilot's boat matching the ship's speed, the pilot is transferred by dropping from the deck.
In this photo, a pilot is transferred from the Nieuw Amsterdam on a winter's solstice cruise from Ft Lauderdale, Florida.
