66550 runs round empty tipplers to form the 6K21 08.20 Scunthorpe Ore Plant to Immingham Dock empties on the last day of Freightliner operating these services - DB resumed on March 15th 2020.
Above the wagons are the cooling towers of the on site power station, above the loco are the blast furnaces.
The local that runs on the Halton Sub on weekdays that oddly enough ran on this particular Sunday back in the middle of August, here we have CN GP40-2LW 9639 & GP38-2 4717 leading a Sunday afternoon CN L559 west towards Brampton at MP5 Halton Sub with 1 intermodal car and 8 tankers, about an hour before a heavy tropical thunderstorm erupted in the Greater Toronto Area.
70016 runs through Newport, Middlesbrough to run round its train of loaded Potash Hoppers at the eastern end of Tees Yard and then into Middlesbrough Goods, running as train 6F32, the 09:33 from Boulby mine. September the 17th 2020.
The touristic route from Meiringen to Schwarzwaldalp runs through the scenic Reichenbach valley, using a narrow and partly steep road. Since a few years, low-entry buses are used to cover the basic two tours, with classical high floor autobuses used to provide more capacity when necessary. One of the oldest vehicles available in Meiringen, Setra 4715, is running up the valley as "empty stock" passing the old Kaltenbrunnen restaurant, it will double the usual Iveco LE for the down journey, bringing back hikers to Meiringen.

58042 runs through the Stroud Valley near St Marys crossing with 4V27, the 10:36 Longbridge to Swindon Rover on 23rd May 2001. The train is made up of a raft of empty KSA "Cube" wagons which had been bought by Rover for this traffic in the mid 90's, replacing the IZA Cargowaggon twin sets. that were used at the time. Once at the Rover "Pressed Steel" plant at Swindon they would be reloaded with car body panels and return to Longbridge via Oxford. The job was booked a Class 66 which had replaced pairs of RFD Class 47's but the service would sometimes be a Saltley kick out as obviously happened on this occasion.
The Rover plant at Longbridge was shut down in April 2005 after the company collapsed and the trains of which there was three a day stopped running and the wagons stored. A number had their bodies removed and repurposed as log carriers for Colas retaining their TOPs code and original numbers.

In early spring the water runs high as the snow and ice melt. It always produces some interested effects as the waterlines rises to cover shoreline and surrounds trees. A nice long exposure allows reflections to fully form on the surface of the water. I particularly liked the formation of the trees that combine with their reflections to produce cresents that help to frame the island beyond.

Pacific National's 9022 "Clint Robinson" runs light on the coal lines through Victoria Street Station at Maitland, New South Wales, Australia.
Not sure why, but most likely as a breakdown replacement somewhere.
My daughter-in-law runs a preschool called "Kinder-prep." A few weeks ago she ask me to take photos of the children for "Picture Day" I had a wonderful time, as did the children.

BNSF's Kelly Lake Local runs west from its namesake to Gunn (near Grand Rapids), passing over the large bridge between Marble and Calumet, MN on Jan. 18, 2003. BNSF quit using this line and bridge a year later in February 2004, running this local and the Keetac trains south of Kelly Lake, to meet up with the Lakes Sub. at Brookston, instead of Gunn.
There has been off and on talk of restoring this line in the past 10 years, but the immediate prospects don't look good with shipments from the Iron Range considerably down in 2015. For now, this bridge above Highway 169 remains quiet, except for a few car storage moves that have been done over the years.
A good size local on this morning with BNSF 2336 leading 63 cars west (62 empty bentonite cars and a single empty coal hooper.). The Kelly Lake Local still runs on Saturday mornings out of Kelly Lake, but via Brookston with SD40-2s and much smaller trains.

It’s the penultimate day of my week long theme showing long exposure images with water in them, and today we’re heading to a lovely little scene in the English countryside.
I posted a waterfall image a few days ago which was taken at Hindhope Linn; this one is showing the stretch of river at the top of the falls shortly before it cascades over the edge, with the bridge you see in the background allowing you to cross the river and complete a circular trail around the falls.
If you like you can check out my Instagram image of this scene which I took while waiting for the long exposure to complete: instagram.com/p/lF1SNJR9S1/
Tomorrow I’m going to finish this themed week with another waterfall, so be sure to check back then :)

There's this little itty-bitty stream that runs through the forest and this is the only place where it's even actually visible, and I've been wanting to do a photo with it for a while. I figured it would be a great subject for a photo with my caped character (I still need a name for him!) I just kept always missing the right lighting for it. So I finally got out there early the other day. I could see the exact light ray aproaching the area and was all set up. And as it turns out the light just misses the spot entirely, so there's no time of day when I could get the light beam necessary! So I decided to go ahead with the photo anyway and actually completely created this light in photo shop. I just can't imagine him existing without some source of light. I am verrrrry proud of myself! What do you think?
“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.”

NS 8025, the Monongahela Heritage Unit, leads intermodal train NS 278 eastbound through Elliston, Virginia, along the NS Christiansburg District.
The Virginia Creeper Trail is a 35-mile multi-purpose rail trail. Located in southwestern Virginia, the trail runs from Abingdon to Whitetop, Virginia, near Mount Rogers National Recreation Area and the North Carolina state line.
The River Wansbeck runs through the county of Northumberland, England. It rises above Sweethope Lough on the edge of Fourlaws Forest in the area known locally as The Wanneys (Great Wanney Crag, Little Wanney Crag; thus the "Wanneys Beck"); runs through the town of Ashington before discharging into the North Sea at Sandy Bay near Newbiggin-by-the-Sea.
The River flows through the village of Kirkwhelpington, Hartburn, where the tributary Hart Burn joins, the village of Mitford, where the River Font joins, and the town of Morpeth.
The River Wansbeck is nicknamed the River Wanney. The term 'The Wilds of Wanney' is used by people of Tyneside to refer to the rural areas of Northumberland where the Wansbeck rises.
The River lent its name to the former Wansbeck district which was based in Ashington, and included Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, Bedlington and Stakeford.
A coal train for Texas runs along the Boise City sub pulling hard upgrade through the rural parts of the Oklahoma panhandle. 2x2 powers this 135 car coal train, 9133,6326 and rear 9399,9736.
Just metres before the small Waikanae River runs into the Tasman Sea, it hits some low-level sand dunes, forcing it to turn 90 degrees, and to flow an extra kilometre or so behind the dunes.
Eventually the river finds a gap in the dunes, turns another 90 degrees, and finishes it's journey into the Tasman Sea.
It is along this sand spit that Waders and a selection of Gulls can be found, so I never expected a flock of...
... 50 or 60 Grey Teals...!!! (The rest of the birds are stretched out along the shoreline to the left and right of this fivesome!).
Initially, I thought this was a flock of birds preparing for a long-distance migration, but although Grey Teals first arrived from Australia, these birds now reside in NZ year round.
And upon checking in with "Grey Teals - New Zealand Birds Online", I discovered that "...the preferred habitat is shallow freshwater lakes, lagoons and swamps with extensive marginal cover, but at times birds are seen on salt and brackish water." (nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/grey-teal).
So that explained why this large flock was feeding on the shores of the estuary - a site that one would usually expect to find flocks of Red-Billed Gulls, Black-Backed Gulls, Terns, and perhaps even a Godwit or two who have decided not to migrate to Alaska.
But a large flock of Grey Teals...? Definitely not a breed I expected to find...!
Thanks so much for the very kind and encouraging comments beneath this photo...! Your support is always greatly appreciated.

This is the side of an old coffee can equipped with a clothes hanger hook we used when working from ladders when recently painting our house.
Black Forest, CO - We attended the 90th anniversary of a community called Black Forest. The highlight of the festival was the outhouse races. It was fantastic, what made it even better was the announcer. He was making constant puns in regards to dropping a deuce.
This red shitter was sponsored by the local septic company with the motto, “We’re Number 1 at dealing with Number 2”.
Up above Peso de Rêgua, the dammed water of the Douro River runs slowly, proportioning some wonderful reflections.
Route 2X runs from West Norwood to Hyde Park Corner via route 2 and then is non-stop to Notting Hill Gate for the carnival. It runs from Norwood Garage and I think it is the first year that DW class Wrightbus Gemini 2's have operated on the route as the garage has only recently gained the type.
A trio of posts this morning, with normal daily service being resumed on Thursday!
One of GBRf's more recent acquisitions 66791 runs 'bang road' into Platform 1 at Derby with 6M83, the 10.51 departure from Tinsley Yard to Bardon Hill.
Gray Wolf (Canis lupus) dipping snow for moisture as it runs along. Image taken in the Lamar Valley of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. As best I can decipher, this wolf is from the Wapiti Pack, a pack that occupies the largest territory in the park.
The Malvern Hills that runs along the Herefordshire-Worcestershire border.
The Malvern Hills are a range of hills in the English counties of Worcestershire, Herefordshire and a small area of northern Gloucestershire, dominating the surrounding countryside and the towns and villages of the district of Malvern. The highest summit of the hills affords a panorama of the Severn valley with the hills of Herefordshire and the Welsh mountains, parts of thirteen counties, the Bristol Channel, and the cathedrals of Worcester, Gloucester and Hereford.
The name Malvern is probably derived from the ancient British moel-bryn, meaning "Bare-Hill", the nearest modern equivalent being the Welsh moelfryn (bald hill). It has been known as Malferna (11th century), Malverne (12th century), and Much Malvern (16–17th century). They are known for their spring water – initially made famous by the region's many holy wells, and later through the development of the 19th century spa town of Great Malvern, a process which culminated in the production of the modern bottled Malvern Water.
Flint axes, arrowheads, and flakes found in the area are attributed to early Bronze Age settlers, and the 'Shire Ditch', a late Bronze Age boundary earthwork possibly dating from around 1000 BC, was constructed along part of the crest of the hills near the site of later settlements. The Wyche Cutting, a mountain pass through the hills was in use in prehistoric times as part of the salt route from Droitwich to South Wales. A 19th century discovery of over two hundred metal money bars suggests that the area had been inhabited by the La Tène people around 250 BC. Ancient folklore has it that the British chieftain Caractacus made his last stand against the Romans at the British Camp, a site of extensive Iron Age earthworks on a summit of the Malvern Hills close to where Malvern was to be later established.
J.R.R. Tolkien found inspiration in the Malvern landscape which he had viewed from his childhood home in Birmingham and his brother Hilary's home near Evesham. He was introduced to the area by C. S. Lewis, who had brought him here to meet George Sayer, the Head of English at Malvern College. Sayer had been a student of Lewis, and became his biographer, and together with them Tolkien would walk the Malvern Hills.
Recordings of Tolkien reading excerpts from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings were made in Malvern in 1952, at the home of George Sayer. The recordings were later issued on long-playing gramophone records. In the liner notes for J.R.R. Tolkien Reads and Sings his The Hobbit & The Fellowship of the Ring, George Sayer wrote that Tolkien would relive the book as they walked and compared parts of the Malvern Hills to the White Mountains of Gondor.

Built as Cincinnati Union Terminal 25, this switcher is one of six Lima-Hamilton 750-horsepower switchers delivered to CUT, the only examples of this model ever built. After a stint on the Cadillac & Lake City, the rare unit ended up at the Whitewater Valley Railroad, where it is seen in 1981. Thirty seven years later, the venerable end-cab still operates, the only one of about a half-dozen surviving Lima diesels that does.
Mans influence suddenly runs dry at the edge of our land. As I looked further out to shore, the confident, blazing lights of the city started to vanish into the blackness.
Ok, so I'm not in any sort of good physical shape. After spending the previous 6 weeks cycling 10k every day, I was no better at climbing stairs and hills than 2 years prior. Nevermind.
A very sweaty Tim took this photo, sitting down on the edge of the 'Rock' in Monaco, looking down over the port. Russell seemed fine, annoyingly. Why aren't I fit?!
