Back when I was younger the Conway Scenic Railroad was a strictly seasonal operetion and would largely shut down during the winter months. In recent years however it has become a year round operation running trains to Conway all winter long and for the first time this winter running trains through Crawford Notch in the snow. Not wanting to miss out on the chance for some snowy winter shots along the old Mountain Sub I made the trip up on the long President's Day weekend to try for some snowy images.
Alas the Saturday trip featured just CSRR 255 solo with five cars meaning the return trip which is the better chase photographically would be long hood forward which just didn't interest me. Regardless, I did make the trip up through the Notch for a few signature shots on the westbound trip. Having reached the at the end of their run at MP 85 on the former Maine Central Mountain Subdivision 255 has runaround her train and is now coming back up the main to couple to the east end. At 1900 ft, Crawford depot is the summit of the line, and they have climbed some 1400 ft in the 25 miles since leaving North Conway grades of up to 2.2%.
This unit is right at home here having been built in November 1966 for the Maine Central Railroad as part of an order of 13 of the model which were the first batch of second generation diesel locomotives purchased by the road. She came to Conway Scenic in 2022 and still wears her Vermont Rail System red paint from her nearly two decade second career as Clarendon & Pittsford 203 after having being sold by MEC successor Guilford Transportation in the early 1990s.

I arrived at Langley Green expecting to bag a quick shot of the Chiltern Silver Express from Kiddi to Marylebone. It wasn't until I checked RTT that I saw there had been a charter due through. Its late running at least gave me a chance of capturing it......not the location or shot I would have chosen, but for the chance to see a Wizzo on the mainline, I'll take it,
Note to self....keep an eye on whats running in future!!

Colorado River seen from Dead Horse Point State Park, Utah. Early morning sun gives beautiful light and shadow. Possibly my last upload from my first photography workshop - but definitely not my last!
Stopping off on the way to the Bourbon Trail for a lengthy lunch at a sidewalk cafe in Lagrange, KY gave CSX enough time to run a couple of southbounds. It was a nice spring day and pretty easy to wait for a horn and pop up from the table to get in position.
Don't you feel like some days you are running in circles? Today is one of those days!

Sea outside Aveiro has a deserved reputation of being rough, and dangerous. Sportsboat speeds to port as sunset approaches.

On the ground amongst all the fallen leaves lies an empty Conker shell , where can it have gone ........
66620 running about 3 hours late runs through Bamford on a Thursday evening. This and the following train running ten minutes behind also running to Earles, despite the fading light tempted me down the road to see if the 20 was around.
Amtrak's Lake Shore Limited was running late as usual as it kicked up late effect snow in Ogden Dunes.
