WC train 34 rips through Rudyard on September 16, 1989. A recently repainted 711 leads 6543 and 6504 and 35 cars. I was rather concerned that the outbound crew would run the pair of 45's around the 30 placing it in trail before leaving Soo yard(the crews generally preferred SD45's leading)but on this evening engineer Gary Drow choose not to. I have a 2:30 start tomorrow and no idea what the day will bring so I'm kicking off 30 Thursday a few hours early this evening:)
At first I thought I would have to break something for the sake of this theme but after I looked around a little I discovered all this destruction. HMM!

One of our rough sleepers... taken some years back. A well-known young man who died suddenly on 21st October. I only heard today when I noticed a wreath hung at the place where he usually sat. So very sad!
Ripping down the Exeter Subdivision from Clinton, Ontario toward the connection to the Strathroy Sub. at Hyde Park is a Canadian National plow extra. The pair of GP9's pushing Russell plow 55614 are just running "a little over" the timetable speed limit of this old branch line. What we had hoped for of getting a pile of images, yielded just this bail out for the grab shot while crossing this bridge, as it was all we could do just to keep alongside on the icy roads with this 60 mph battering ram - January 21, 1984.
Late yesterday afternoon our sweet Poppy girl entered Kitty Heaven. She was diagnosed with pancreatitis in early March of this year. She let us know yesterday that it was time to let her go. She will be missed by all of her family and her best friend (and sister) Jasmine. She would have been 16 years old in April.
This prairie appears to have been ripped like a sheet of green paper, revealing colorful Chinle formations underneath.
This is what I call the Morning Glory Chinle site with the blue and red patterns.
Green Line trains meet at Madison/Wabash station on Chicago's downtown Loop Elevated. The 119 year-old station closed after the last Loop 'L' train service in the wee hours of March 16th, 2015. Here, workers can be seen preparing the station for demolition. It is to be replaced by a new, larger Washington/Wabash station- once it is opened, Randolph/Wabash station will also close.
Loved by many, my dearest loyal friend, walking companion and photo model has passed away. I miss him so much already; he will stay forever in my heart
My dad texted me this afternoon, that Oedipoes was doing really badly. I knew from my visits his health declined rapidly. He had been on thyroid medication for two and a half years. And you could really see the disease and medication were taking their toll. My dad and step mom took Oedipoes to the vet and put him to sleep forever.
My dad called Oedipoes his little dog, and he surely did behave like that. He was always by my dad's side. Oedipoes waited at the garage door when you came home or he would greet you at the shore when you had been out on a boat trip. Oedipoes made sure the other three cats got used to the new home when they all moved house in January. We called him the mediator. Sometimes we called him The Nurse. When my dad broke his ankle a few years ago, Oedipoes stayed with him all the time he was in bed or on the couch, purring and snoozing. Oedipoes immediately clung to him when he and my step mom were in a grave car accident in April when they dropped me and big Human off at the airport. The orange kitty watched over him and stayed at his side again.
Now they had to tell him he did well and he was allowed to go. He just clung on and refused to give up on life. It was like all he wanted to do was to give, but he couldn't give anymore. We will miss him dearly.

ARR 3006 leads two sisters and a string of rip-rap loaded air dumps for an ongoing project a few miles north of Healy. To the right of the train is the old Healy Engine House, now demolished, unfortunately. The peak in the background is Mt Healy I believe. A day spent with the work train can be an exercise in futility or an extremely satisfying day of photography, fortunately, this was the latter.
The little dog abandoned in a cardboard box finally had a new home but suddenly passed away. so sad...

African leopards (Panthera pardus pardus) are one of the two big cats, along with the lion and included in the big five of Africa, that inhabit the continent of Africa.
Queen Lorian, a very famous and senior female leopard, was found dead yesterday morning, mauled to death by either Lions or another Leopard. She has left behind a 14 month old son, Roho who shall to fend for himself in the wild.
This was my latest sighting of her during a photography Safari on an early morning game drive in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya.
