A quartet of mixed BNSF and UP EMD's move UP Train YKS75 28 through the West Bottoms on the UP KC Metro Sub. at Hickory Street. That SD60M has to be one of the best looking ones still running around in BN Paint at this point.
This job is a transfer that runs between UP Neff Yard in KCMO, and UP 18th Street Yard in KCK.

Opening August 1st! A new event called The Gacha Garden. It runs a bit differently than typical gachas, so please check their website for information on how it all works. www.thegachagarden.com/
The Old Americana items will be 100lin per play. 11 commons, 3 rares, and one Seed of inspiration.

The Gacha Garden offers a simple but wonderful new twist to playing Gachas. Our event rewards our players for just playing! Here is how it works!
Players make pulls on their favorite machines just as they normally would.
Every time a player does 20 pulls on a single machine they receive a special gift called a “Seed of Inspiration” along with the 20 gachas they would normally win.
The Seeds of Inspiration cannot be won by chance. They aren’t won at all. Instead they are a gift given by our Creators to those that play their machine at least 20 times.
For example if you play Junbug’s machine 20 times you will receive 20 gachas plus 1 Seed of Inspiration item. If you play that same machine 40 times you will receive 40 gachas plus 2 Seeds of Inspiration and so on and so forth.
The Seeds of Inspiration are no copy/ yes transfer just like a regular gacha so you are free to keep, trade or sell them as you’d like.
After the event ends The Seeds of Inspiration are retired and will never be made available again.
#44 runs hard upgrade with a pair of EMD's in notch 8, just after sunrise. WC 6587 (ex ATSF SD45) and CR 2574 (SD70) are a neat pair, as the WC could have some really odd power running between Fond Du Lac and Chicago. I remember wishing the CR 2574 was the leader. Looking back, still do!
Upper Antelope Canyon is called Tsé bighánílíní, 'the place where water runs through rocks' by the Navajo People in that specific area. The canyon was formed over thousands of years by the erosion, often in flash flooding, of Navajo sandstone, resulting in narrow passageways with smooth, flowing walls.
Housatonic NX-12 runs north on the Berkshire Line behind the buildings of downtown Great Barrington, MA. The empty SPEM hoppers are being left up at Lenox, and the crew will run to pick up their CSX interchange freight at Pittsfield. The 3600 is the only operating engine in company paint, a much better look than the usual GMTX "smurfs."
As dusk approaches, the warm sunset illuminates the Queensboro or 59th Street Bridge, in this image of the portion that runs from Roosevelt Island to Queens, the old Ravenswood Key Span Electrical Generation Plant’s three distinct red and white smoke stacks visible on the left or western part of the span a plant that was originally built by Con Edison in the 1960’s.
It was officially named the Ed Koch Queensboro bridge back in 2011 while the former New York City Mayor who was instrumental in bringing New York City from the brink of bankruptcy was still alive; he since has passed in 2013. It is one of the four great East River Bridges and the only one that is not a suspension bridge. The Queensboro Bridge is actually a five span cantilever bridge that opened in 1909. The first proposal for a span over the East River over what at that time was called Blackwell ‘s Island (Roosevelt Island) was actually in 1838, to connect Manhattan and Long Island City. The renown John Roebling who would later design the Brooklyn Bridge proposed in 1856 two 800 foot suspension bridges linked by a cantilever on Blackwell’s Island. In fact, when this project stalled a year later, John Roebling made his first proposal for a span between Brooklyn and New York (aka Manhattan). Interestingly enough on April 16th, 1867 both the New York & Brooklyn Bridge Company (the group directing the Brooklyn Bridge) and New York & Long Island Bridge Company (the group directing the Blackwell’s Island bridge) received state charters from the State of New York. The Brooklyn Bridge project moved forward and with some difficultly, tragedies, and a long construction time as I’ve outlined in images of that bridge eventually opened in the 19th Century.
The Blackwell Island Bridge? Well proposals were presented in during the decade of the 1880’s and 1890’s that were eventually all rejected. It was not until 1902, when New York City Mayor Seth Low appointed renown bridge engineer Gustav Lindenthal the city’s commissioner of the new Department of Bridge, when as one of his first acts in office was to propose a rail bridge over the East River. The proposed bridge would link the Harlem Line (still around as part of the Metro-North Railroad) and Austin Corbin’s Long Island Railroad (LIRR). Lindenthal sought the collaboration of the Williamsburg Bridge Engineers Leffert L. Buck and Henry Hornbostel and proposed a twin cantilever design for the Queensboro bridge believing that design to be sound for rail traffic. So a year later, Gustav Linenthal presented the final design proposal which were 2 large cantilever spans of 1,182 feet and 984 feet joined by a 630 foot cantilever span over Blackwell’s Island. There would also be approached on each end, 469.5 feet in Manhattan and 459 feet in Queens making the total length an amazing 7,449 feet. The bridge would be supported by four 350 foot steel towers built on stone piers.
So after more than half a century since the initial proposal, finally there was an approved proposal so the building of the spans could move forward, or would they? The construction was plagued with a number of delays. Lindenthal was removed as commissioner by a new mayor, a portion of an uncompleted section collapsed during a violent windstorm. There was a steel strike and union saboteurs placed dynamite on the bridge protesting the bridges open-shop policy. Finally in 1907, another cantilever bridge that was being built the Quebec Bridge collapsed raising the concern of not only engineers but New Yorkers as well. After all the concerns were vetted out and some redesign, the bridges final link was completed in 1908 five years after the final design proposal by Lindenthal was accepted. The bridge actually opened on March 30, 1909, with two levels. The top level had two elevated rail lines, the lower level had two trolley lines on the outer lanes. On the lower level in between the trolley lines were 4 lanes for vehicular traffic. The rail lines ran until 1940 and the rail lines were removed in 1942. The trolley line on the Queensboro bridge was the last trolley line in New York City and ran until 1955 when the Roosevelt Island Bridge was built connecting Queens and Roosevelt Island. The bridge was declared and designated a national landmark on November 23, 1973, and subsequently the New York Department of Transportation put together a multi-level plan to rebuild the bridge where necessary, fortify it so it would last well into the 21st century. This is another span that I have driven and walked across and every year during the Bike New York 5 Boro Bike Tour the 31,000 cyclists cross utilize the Queensboro Bridge to cross from Manhattan into Queens which I have done four times. This particular vantage point is from Roosevelt Island.

NS 8104, the Lehigh Valley Heritage Unit, leads southbound manifest NS 15T through Lewis Run, Virginia.
Exploring some of the churches on Skiathos, we came across this one, Archangels Taxiachrches (Church of the Archangels), built over a fresh water spring. The water is so clear and runs down to a fish pond, again one I have never seen with such clear water.

Where the river runs, life's story unfolds in fluid motion. It carves its path, a serpentine journey through the heart of the land, carrying with it the essence of time. Like a wandering troubadour, it weaves tales of the earth, whispering secrets to the banks it caresses. The river mirrors the ebbs and flows of existence, mirroring the trials and triumphs encountered along the way. Its current, a steady force, encapsulates the essence of resilience and adaptability, navigating obstacles, sculpting the terrain, and symbolizing the ceaseless passage of moments. In its waters lie reflections of life’s journey — a reminder that as the river runs, so does the narrative of our lives, ever-flowing and ever-evolving.

Amtrak HHPC 9750 brings up the rear of an HHPC qualifying train over Dock Bridge in Newark, NJ on April 14, 2025. After spending several years out of service the HHP-8s will soon make their return on the Northeast Corridor acting as cab cars on Northeast Regional trains.
This creek runs past the village, only a couple of kilometres to the east. I cross it on a small bridge every time I drive to Grasslands National Park (ie. often). From time to time I stop, to remove turtles from the road in summer (and photograph them), or for the covey of grey partridges that hang out nearby, or when I like the light. One morning in November, I really liked the light.
But I could tell the bright dawn sky to the southeast and dark expanse of land below were going to be too much for my sensor to handle. So I used the tripod and made several exposures, two of which I combined here for an HDR image that approximates what I saw at the time.
I try to use HDR sparingly, as it was over-hyped and employed wildly in its early years to create garish images that were too cartoonish for my liking. I still see these collections from time to time, and I don't like the look at all. I try to keep it subtle, and hope I'm not delusional about it.

Scopwick Beck, which runs through the village of Scopwick, North Kesteven, Lincolnshire.
Scopwick is small village and civil parish in the district of North Kesteven, situated 6 miles south from Lincoln. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 815. The parish includes Kirkby Green, a hamlet to the east of Scopwick. The village main road runs parallel to a narrow stream.
The village cemetery includes a War Graves site for airmen from RAF Coleby Grange and RAF Digby (originally RAF Scopwick), and includes that of the young Second World War poet and aviator John Gillespie Magee.
Part of the brick tower of Scopwick Tower Mill, which was built in 1827 and fell into disuse around 1912, remains standing.
“Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. -- Norman Maclean”

The Oudegracht, or "old canal", runs through the center of Utrecht, the Netherlands. It starts in the southeast of the city. Here the Kromme Rijn (the original main bed of the Rhine river) and the Vaartse Rijn (a medieval canal reconnecting Utrecht to the newer main stream of the Rhine, the Lek) arrive to meet the original moat of the fortified town, and the Oudegracht goes from there into the center of town. Parts of the Oudegracht follow the original flow of the river Rhine, but there is some disagreement on what parts. The northern part is most likely an early canal (app. 1000) connecting the Rhine section to the river Vecht. The southern part was started in 1122, after the water level of the Rhine in Utrecht dropped because of the new dam at Wijk bij Duurstede. The ground excavated was used to raise the sides of the canal, to reduce the chance of flooding. When the city's system of locks was finished in 1275 the water level was constant, enabling the creation of permanently dry cellars and new quays at water level, hence the typical wharfs (Dutch: werven) below street level. Warehouses used to line the canal. Today many of these warehouses have been converted into restaurants and cafés.

I'm going to miss India. The culture of India runs through my veins. The experiences; unforgettable. A kid running up to me, just to get their photo taken; priceless. Even though I have lived here for shorter than any other place ever, I have had better experiences than ever. They always say "hindsight 20/20" when people end up missing somewhere they hated to live, but I have some foresight 20/20, and I know I am going to miss everything about India. In these exact six months that I have lived here, I have made better friends than ever, taken better photos than ever, learned about Hinduism and a culture that seemed so different to ours. All of these experiences, I would never trade for anything. I have no regrets about India, except for not staying longer.
Everyone should look past the trash in the streets, and the spitting, and see that India is home to the nicest group of people on the planet, that will do anything and everything just to make you happy. Indians who we had just met a few weeks prior, would invite us to weddings, dinners, grill-outs, and gatherings. Their religion may seem ridiculous from a western point of view, but by befriending some Indians who were Hindus, and talking to them about their religion, I find it to be incredibly amazing. From proverb to proverb, they live in a better way because their religion is built on the sayings of what is right and wrong, and hospitality. They then share these with you, and rarely ever mistreat you.
Everyone should be able to experience this at least once. Unfortunately, going to see the Taj Mahal, and walking around the posh streets of Delhi doesn't get you to see the real India, but if, and when you do, you will fall in love with it just like I have.
I hope you have all enjoyed my photos from India. I still have some more photos I will post while I'm in Arizona, but unfortunately I won't be taking any more photos.
Hope you Enjoy :D

DISTANT RUNS THE TRAIN
The distinctive outline of SR WC 'Spamcam' 34092 'City of Wells' is silhouetted against the late afternoon sun as it climbs past Burrs Country Park, ELR with the 16.10 Bury - Ramsbottom freight on 25th February during the ELR Winter Steam Gala.
OSCAR set H47 runs through the mountains to Lithgow on one of a series of ATP testing runs between Katoomba and Lithgow.
OSCAR appearances are rare in this neck of the woods as the loading gauge did not permit OSCARs to travel west of Springwood until recent upgrades were completed in 2020. OSCAR operated services were a common occurrence east of Springwood until 2017. This occasion marks the second time an OSCAR has ventured west of Mount Victoria. The only other occasion being, in November 2021, also for ATP testing.

Pond Cottage, and the pond itself on the right in autumn.
This lovely lane runs westwards from the village's central crossroads, but just beyond these cottages unexpectedly stops at a field gate. Perhaps it is a lost road as just a few fields beyond is the unsurfaced Ditchedge Lane, a very ancient, perhaps prehistoric trading route from the west midlands to Chipping Norton.
This area is deeply rural and scenic; hilly and retaining its small fields and hedgerows. Little visited by tourists who flock to the Cotswold honeytraps a few miles away, this area west of Banbury deserves to be better known.
Amtrak runs two early morning regionals on the weekends from Springfield, MA to New Haven, CT. Saturday trains 143 to Washington, D.C., and 147 to Roanoke, VA. On Sundays, it's 143 to the nation’s capital and 157 to Norfolk, VA. Both weekend trains get their diesel locomotives replaced with electric in New Haven for the run down the Northeast Corridor to Washington, then it’s back to diesel for the trips south to Virginia. On Sunday, January 26, 2025, the sun rises as train 157 arrives at Windsor Station in Connecticut. The station was built in 1870 and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
This week's Saturday double features two going-away shots of Class 43 powered test trains.....
Network Rail's ex British Rail and Virgin Cross Country power car 43013 'Mark Carne' runs through Colwick East on the rear of 1Q49, the 09.38 test train circular from Derby RTC via Nottingham, Grantham, Sleaford, Boston and Skegness.
Two test runs from Derby to Stoke, one with a 37 and one with two 20s! Here the ploughs refurbished by Loram get their test run, given the thunderstorms, the driver and second man should have been issued with flying goggles, as they had to lean out of the windows most of the way to see ahead, through various thunderstorms. Wildlife report, normally I cannot seem to find butterflies at rest during the rain, here I saw a small skipper, gatekeeper and lovely small blue. But I wasn't going to tramp through the rain back to the car to get the macro lens!
