It was a real privilege to witness this on one of the days in Shetland. A mother and two cubs came to shore not far away and proceeded to roll around and have a groom in the seaweed for at least 20mins...
An eastbound coal load was heading through Comanche with a patched former Southern Pacific AC4400CW pulling DPU duty. In the background can be seen the smelliest place in the Midwest, ADM in Clinton.
Coal still rolls through town on a daily basis, but the volume certainly is down with lots of power plants being converted to natural gas.

Greetings everyone, I hope your Tuesday is off to a fantastic start! Sharing a snapshot from my recent adventure in Indiana. Despite the initial weather forecasts, the morning turned out to be quite eventful, and this vintage towing truck added a touch of charm to the scene. Wishing you all a wonderful day ahead!
The rear brakeman for our photo special does a rolling inspection of passenger train returning from Silverton, CO while our train sits in the hole at Elk Park.
An empty Middletown ore train resumes its trip back to Minnesota for more taconite after pausing at Mundelein for a southbound on the Wisconsin Central in 2000.
The run-through CSX C30-7/C40-8W duo were sounding just as good as you'd imagine that they would. This was still a non-quiet zone at the time and that Leslie was blending nicely with the Dash 7 as it notched up.
Wandering around a disused industrial site I noticed the patterns created by the shadows, the wheel was part of the machinery used to insert pigs into a chemical pipeline.
This was taken last December. My son Cain is in the blue. I loved watching him wrestle but he doesn't wrestle anymore. :( He holds our state's record for the number of concussions in one season. ;o) He also came in fourth in the state finals. :)
Roll call of Manchester Mayors on show in the Cathedral. If you look closely you will see the name Nellie Beer in 1966.

On September 11th, 2001, the last American plane in the air controlled by terrorists, was headed toward The White House.
A brave young American man organized his fellow passengers to storm the cockpit. At the last moment he said, "Let's roll".
They all perished. - To this day, when I see a black-storm cloud-bank 'rolling' in, I think of that brave young man and the
sacrifice he made along with all of his fellow passengers; many fathers, mothers and children. Sadly, they all never got to
see another Father's Day again. May they all... Rest In Peace.

At the darkest hours of the night, in the vast emptiness of Northern Quebec, VIA â„–603 is "in the hole" at Monet, and locomotive engineer C.R is standing in front of her train to inspect L57321-28 as it flies by us. As soon as 573 clears, we'll be able to make the last 82 miles west towards Senneterre.
Delicious cinnamon roll I ate for brunch today. It had a light fluffy cream cheese frosting. Mmmmm. You can see the egg, sausage, and cheese scramble I made in the right corner of the picture.
Picture taken with the blinds open, only natural light. I didn't use zoom either. I've noticed that I tend to just get right up close instead of using my optical zoom.
Fort George served as the headquarters for the Centre Division of the British Army during the War of 1812. British forces included British regulars, local militia, aboriginal warriors, and a corps of freed slaves. Major-General Sir Isaac Brock served at Fort George until his death at the Battle of Queenston Heights on October 13, 1812. Brock and his aide-de-camp John Macdonell, who were both killed during the battle, were initially interred at the fort. In May 1813, the Americans captured Fort George following a barrage of artillery fire from Fort Niagara (located less than 1000 metres across the Niagara River) and ships at the mouth of the river and on Lake Ontario. The bombardment destroyed most of the fort, which was held by the Americans for 7 months.
The Americans used Fort George and the adjacent town of Niagara-on-the-Lake as a base to invade the rest of Upper Canada. However, British forces repulsed the Americans at the Battles of Stoney Creek and Beaver Dams. The British recaptured Fort George in December 1813. During the American withdrawal, they razed the town and the fort. The townspeople rebuilt Niagara-on-the-Lake following the war, and the British partially rebuilt Fort George. However, Fort George's importance diminished as a result of the construction of Fort Mississauga down river on the other side of Niagara-on-the-Lake. As a result, Fort George fell into ruin and was abandoned in 1820.
The fort has since been rebuilt to how it would have appeared during the War of 1812. The only structure that survived the war was, ironically, its most vulnerable: the powder magazine.
