A Cornish rarity, most usually seen in Devonport ('Guzz').
Tentatively identified as 'Trafalgar Class' - Attack submarine
Wisely running surfaced, in our busy fishing-grounds.
Traditionally, Destroyers & Submarines are "Boats".
Don't ask me why, its just the ways of Navies.
(And I had the wrong camera, yet again !)

New Hope Railroad GP-30 no. 2198 is seen changing ends on the railroad's excursion train at New Hope Station.
On their was back north with an empty grain train, NS 41J sprints through Seney, Georgia on their way to Chattanooga, Tennessee.
An experimental shot with a silhouetted articulated wooden doll. I just found the image again and wish I could remember why I set it up!
Well my eyes are finally showing signs of improvement although I'm not anticipating any me time until at least the weekend. Anyway in lieu of that here's a photo from less pruritus times way back in September. Admittedly not that way back but other than Thursday it's been a couple of weeks since I've managed any significant time dressed at home.
Union Pacific SD70M 4786 was in charge of a G41 transfer at B12 Interlocking in Franklin Park. These transfers can't always have SD40Ns; at least it is an EMD.
He's not in the best clarity, but I thought it was funny he flew off when he saw my camera pointing at him!!!
Sport quotidien toujours, cette fois sur le tapis de course de la Station : le squelette et les os sont stimulés par les chocs de la course à pied. Pour nous maintenir solidaires du tapis, on utilise des tendeurs dont on peut choisir la résistance 💪 Vu que la tension est reprise par le harnais, c’est comme porter son propre poids dans un sac à dos… on le sent sur les épaules et sur les hanches ! 😬 Trop douloureux de courir tous les jours comme ça, donc on règle en général la tension à 75% de notre poids, ça suffit à nous maintenir en forme. Nos coaches sportifs connaissent le truc et savent comment ne pas nous laisser aller : ils augmentent largement la vitesse du tapis par rapport à nos performances au sol !!! Sympa de courir, mais j’ai hâte de pouvoir le faire dans la nature :)

More working out in space... On our treadmill. We use bungee cords to keep from flying away, and by changing the number of clips we can set how much force to push us down on. Since the tension is taken by our harness, it really is like running with a backpack of your own weight… you feel it on the hips and on the shoulders! That’s why we usually run at a fraction of our earthly weight… but our coaches know how to keep us honest: they speed up our protocols by 30%... I’m kind of missing a natural environment to run in, though. 🌲🌳

Thomas Pesquet fun on T2 for PUB
Running Springs is a set of two springs along the Suwannee River between Mayo and Branford. It's easily one of the best sights along the spring-packed river.
After putting a single boxcar in the siding, the power runs around the car before shoving it into the Kruger Plant located at the end of the Turcot Holding Spur. In the background is the rapidly changing Turcot interchange, with the new, lower lanes already in use, and the higher and older lanes soon to be demolished.
Just a wider take on this scene cause it's so cool!
There isn't much left on my bucket list to shoot in my home state (Rhode Island is pretty small after all!) but this was the big one that had eluded me. While I did shoot a train here back in the 1990s before I left for two decades after school, I had yet to photograph anything in the six years since I'd been back. But this day, thanks to some intel I knew that Providence and Worcester's Valley Falls based local PR-3 had a car for Safety-Kleen in their consist so most likely were going to head out here. I followed them out the Harbor Junction to the port but once they wrapped up their work their they rearranged their power with their two locos bracketing the one car so I knew they were going!
This is the Warwick Industrial Track which to quote Daria Phoebe Brashear:
"began life connecting the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, now generally known as the Amtrak main between Providence and the Connecticut shoreline, with the former Warwick Railroad, a lightly constructed line that started with steam dummies before being converted to electric trolleys, and which was gradually extended to Oakland Beach and then, via trestles across the inlets, around to Buttonwoods.
The urban and suburban trolley operations around Providence were consolidated under the same ownership as the New Haven under the auspices of the Rhode Island Company, with the mainline connection and a short portion of the original Warwick RailROAD surviving past the end of streetcar operations to service industrial customers in Cranston and Warwick as newly-incorporated Warwick RailWAY, although encroaching residental development kept service from actually being meaningfully offered past the Alrose Chemical plant, later Geigy, where the line crossed the Pawtuxet River.
After the chemical plant closed in the 1980s, the line ended up going fallow before being resurrected for new customer Safety-Kleen Systems circa 2015. The backyard trackage now services only them, in the building which formerly housed Atlantic Tubing and Rubber on Cranston's Mill Street."
PW GP38-2s 2006 and 2008 which were built new for the then only 7 year newly independent road by EMD in Feb. and Dec. 1980 respectively and have spent their entire careers working the rails of the Ocean State bracket a lone loaded tank for Safety-Kleen as they do a little parking lot running approaching the busy Elmwood Ave. / U.S. Route 1 crossing

NS slop freight #370 charges out of its origin point of Inman Yard in Atlanta, GA and is seen working upgrade near CP Nickajack on the ATL Terminal.
I love shooting people in motion, and have been trying to hook up with joggers for a while. Ran into a friend the other day and mentioned it, just so happens she runs! Three strobes used. SB 800 and SB28 stacked together with umbrellas to the far left (one high one low.) One vivitar 283 with variopower to the far right to catch her from behind. Dialed down shutter for ambient.
