Two horses seem to be more interested in the photographer than the passing eastbound Burlington Northern Santa Fe intermodal train rumbling by above them, east of Bison, Montana, on the pretty autumn morning of October 9, 1996.
The daily Canadian Pacific #272 train rumbling thru the unincorporated hamlet of New Lebanon, Illinois on August 5, 2014 just after sunset. I was lucky as I heard the Genoa il siding switch on the radio give confirmation it was aligned. I almost left but waited patiently for about ten minutes before the train appeared.
When I was just a boy living by the track
Us kids'd gather up the coal in a great big gunny sack,
And then we'd hear the warning sound as the train pulled into view
And the engineer would smile and wave as she went rolling through;
She blew so loud and clear
That we covered up our ears
And counted cars as high as we could go.
I can almost hear the steam
And the big old drivers scream
With a sound my little boy will never know.
I guess the times have changed and kids are different now;
Some don't even seem to know that milk comes from a cow.
My little boy can tell the names of all the baseball stars
And I remember how we memorized the names on railroad cars -
The Wabash and TP
Lackawanna and IC
Nickel Plate and the good old Santa Fe;
Names out of the past
And I know they're fading fast
Every time I hear my little boy say.
Well, we climbed into the car and drove down into town
Right up to the depot house but no one was around.
We searched the yard together for something I could show
But I knew there hadn't been a train for a dozen years or so.
All the things I did
When I was just a kid-
How far away the memories appear,
And it's plain enough to see
They mean a lot to me
'Cause my ambition was to be an engineer.
The really interesting clouds from last night's sunset.

Curzon Street Tunnel on the Digbeth Branch Canal runs under a busy railway line. You can hear the trains rumbling over constantly joined by hundreds of pigeons cooing from the arches overhead. I found this tunnel rather creepy not because of the dark,deep canal water,but the presence of some rather dubious characters hanging around in there.
With the clouds overhead rumbling, CN 442 rolls southward towards a line of thunderstorms that are tornado warned. We would not see the tornado, but one did touch down near Irricana. May 31, 2020.
so far no lightning strikes nearby and no fires reported, but it is just a matter of time...good thing we get some brief rain in between...

Very late in the afternoon, I was photographing this male Lion that seemed to be having difficulty staying awake when it began it's characteristic, low frequency roar. I was able to switch to video to capture the very end of its behavior. Unforgettable memory of what would not be a pleasant sound to hear if you happened to be on foot in the bush...especially at night.

The old bridge was built in 1713 with the upper bridge in 1816 giving an easier gradient. The bridges are said to rumble hence the name. Wonderful old and colourful architecture
ruby ruby ruby ........... the last shot of the morning before work was required for the afternoon catches 66540 rumbling through Wolfhall on 6M20
Rumbling through Ternopil, this green diesel beast shook the ground, while my heart kept beating strongly.
I can never get enough of these unique locomotives!
From the 1840s to the 1960s, this chalk quarry would have reverberated to the noises of explosions, furnace blasts, rumbling trucks, trains, and horses. Since Roman times, chalk has been regarded as valuable source material for fertiliser and mortar, cement and concrete. Chalk was quarried here in two main quarries, the grey and the white. It was then heated in kilns with coal to create quicklime, The quicklime was then hydrated by adding water in a lively chemical reaction, and this made the final product, hydrated lime, which could be bagged and transported.
Originally several lime producers operated at the site, but by 1876 the Pepper family were the sole producers, employed over 80 people.
There are several sets of kilns of different designs around the museum, the largest of which are the de Witt Kilns, with 18 firing chambers, at the end of the museum. You can see the rail tracks that took lime directly to the kilns, and the lime pits used to add water to the quicklime.
Rumbling towards Adderley Park, 37601 Perseus tries to make up some time while dragging 350120 back after a refurb with 5Q91 Long Marston to Northampton EMD.
N73544 Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation SCFA - rumbling away from the W stands, shortly after to cross runway 16 for departure on runway 28.
A Canadian Pacific EB Ethanol train is about to add to the bluster. Highly cropped and shot before warning devices were activated at the crossing. Thanks to basicbill who reminded me of this train heading EB on these tracks. I just got lucky getting him before he went by
427 cubic inches of rumbling V8 lurking under those very stylish curves makes for very desirable car.....one of my all time favourites, the 1969 C3 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray.
Given a tweak or two in post to highlight the lines and the wonderful metallic flake gold.

The River Devon works its way through a steep sided gorge in the Fife countryside near a little village called Rumbling Bridge
There's a creature in my closet
I can hear him rumbling 'round
The demons screaming in the distance
Creates such a humbling sound
The monster that's outside my window
He's like family to me now
The things that people are afraid of
Never let me down

Hearing some rumblings that the B&O CPL signals on the Toledo Sub might be replaced I spend some time on the sub on March 11, 2024, starting here in Deshler where we see train M559 coming around the connection to start the trip south. M559 is a Willard to Queensgate 'local' that works Lima and Hamilton en route. The B&O CPL signals were designed in the 1920's to replace the functions of the mechanical semaphores that preceded them. They improved on other position light variants by adding color and having dwarf signals that exactly mimicked the signal mast versions. I found one reference claiming that the first ones installed were on the B&O around Deshler. All the mainline signals at Deshler were replaced years ago but there are still quite a few on the Toledo Sub south of town.
A few of many from the chaos last night. Shot from the bedroom and loft window. This is looking South towards Lichfield/Cannock and Cheadle. It took around 45mins for it to reach us and it was then bedlam! I was taking 1sec exposures and the sky was blowing out!
As I type now there is another storm on the way :)
All triggered using the MIOPS set to Lightning mode... brilliant piece of kit...
As the storm started building, the thunder rumbling overhead, and the sun was setting.
Giving the Z6iii a workout with long exposures. This one was with an ND filter and a 30 second exposure.
Rumbling out of the river flats, CP 140 heads east in Norfolk Southern’s Detroit District Line at MP D56.0, with a freshly rebuilt GE AC44CWM No.8029 leading.
There is no rumbling to be heard as DMIR 406 crosses over the stout former Duluth Missabe and Northern (DM&N) concrete bridge. This bridge gets plenty of tonnage in a day as this is the CN Iron Range sub used to get to and from Two Harbors, MN with the taconite pellets from the mines and the returning empties. This is a short local with four loads and one buffer car going to serve a blasting company.
A walk in the February sunshine, 07-02-18. Rumbling over the bridge is an unidentified Trans Pennine Express class 185 on it's way to Hull.
Thunder rumbling all afternoon, and hopefully, the scattered rain squalls putting the local wildfire out and clearing the air!
Mono Lake and Negit Island, August 2020.
The 12:00 New Hope & Ivyland Santa train rolls through the woods of Bucks County nearing it's destination of Lahasa, PA behind 2-8-0 #40.
Several hours earlier 37611 Denise had been declared a failure having limped into the tamper sidings at Nuneaton heading 5Q65 conveying 730024 to Oxley; 37510 Orion was duly despatched from Leicester as 1Z99 and took the stricken tractor forwards as 5Q66 seen here rumbling through Water Orton, the sun having long set.
Just as we left Grañon, we heard some rumbling noise that got stronger and stronger. It turned out that a huge "army" of pilgrims was coming after us, singing along the way. There were children, adults and old people among them. But we didn't want to spend the rest of the day in this noise so I checked the map and we took an alternative route. This is how we got to the remote village of Villarta, where there were hardly any people but the bar was open. The few people we did meet in the street all asked us if we were lost as their village is not on the official route. Then we frossed a hill and returned to the Camino at the village of Redecilla.
A scene reminiscent of Tolkien with tree roots, branches and trunk lit by filtered sun alongside Pingle Lane, an ancient way from Johnnygate to the ford at Millthorpe on the edge of the Peak District in North East Derbyshire.
High in the Tantalus Range, Mount Alpha and the Rumbling Glacier reflect the golden light of a summer sunrise. Photographed during a three day alpine climbing trip, spanning the heights of this rugged and beautiful range northwest of Squamish, BC.
