At sunset, an eastbound Milwaukee Road “Sprint” piggyback train approaches Signal Bridge 19 at Sheffield Tower in Kansas City, Missouri, on December 8, 1985. This is on the Kansas City Terminal and this area has changed just a bit, with the signals gone and a flyover passing over the place instead of the interlocking.
Arriva Trains Wales 'Sprinter' unit 150262 skirts the Conwy estuary as it approaches Glan Conwy station with the 10.08am Llandudno - Blaneau Ffestiniog service (2D14).
Any birdwatchers on the train would almost certainly have taken one of the right-hand seats and, in so doing, enjoyed the sight of a small flock of Shelduck feeding over the exposed mud at low tide.
The shot was taken from the A470 Llanwrst Road just south of the station with the intention of bagging a before and after image.
The striking Bodysgallen Obelisk in the background used to balance the image is not as old as you might think - standing 64 feet high it was built as recently as 1993 by the owners of the Bodysgallen Hotel, lying just below in the village of Esgyryn. Initially it was met with fierce local opposition but, as with so many follies before, time seems to have healed the wounds and it has now become accepted as a local landmark.
Running a bit behind so commenting switched off, thanks.

A Scotrail Sprinter 156511 passes Holywood with a Carlslie to Glasgow service. You can see the down starter and up home semaphores. The leaves on the trees are just starting to turn this Autumn morning.
Northern's 150145 catches the evening sun as it slows on the approach to Edale station with a Manchester bound service on the evening of Sunday 9th June 2019. The bulk of Lord's Seat provides an impressive backdrop.
The stopping services on this route seem to be mostly shared between 150 units and 142s.
Photos from Saturday's race at Knoxville Raceway. This track is a semi-banked half-mile dirt oval raceway at the Sprint Car Capital of the World in Knoxville, Iowa.
Individual photos were taken with a Canon EOS Rebel T6 with a EF 75-300mm telephoto zoom lens and developed with Darktable 3.6.0. The collage was created with Photoshop..

"Sprinting To Winter"
The weather lately has been an interesting mix of winter, not winter, almost winter, and a bit of autumn hanging around. It definitely feels a bit like being stuck in a perpetual loop of weird weather so I thought I'd take that inspiration and create something fun with it, running toward winter full force, leaving autumn behind!
While editing this, the soundtrack to Home Alone was playing and this image worked perfectly with the frenzied music of the scene when they're all running through the airport to catch their flight, sometimes December feels like that, a sprint to make it to the end of the year without forgetting anything!
Do you like winter? Or maybe autumn is your favourite?
Northern Class 156 No. 156486 awaits its next journey down the Cumbrian coast seen here at Carlisle on 14th November 2021.

[NL] De Sprinter sprint naar Dordrecht. Treinstel 2214 van de Nederlandse Spoorwegen moet nog even volhouden totdat deze het een na laatste station bereikt: Dordrecht Zuid. De overweg aan de Wieldrechtse Zeedijk zorgt er in elk geval voor dat de trein door kan gaan met waar die mee bezig was. Na Zuid volgt de eindsprint naar Dordrecht. Je zou het eerder een marathon kunnen noemen, want trein 5954 uit Roosendaal heeft er al wat kilometers opzitten. Maar eenmaal aangekomen in Dordrecht volgt de rustpauze, exact 15 minuten.
[EN] NS Stadler FLIRT EMU 2214 sprints towards final call Dordrecht Zuid. After a short rest brake at Dordrecht Zuid, the final sprint towards Dordrecht follows. At Dordrecht, the sprint ends, although I would rather call it a marathon, as this service (Sprinter 5954) came from Roosendaal, in total 37,4 kilometres.
[DE] NS Stadler FLIRT Tz 2214 sprintet nach Dordrecht Zuid. Ab dort folgt noch ein Endspurt nach Dordrecht und hat der Zug seinem Ziel erreicht. Ich wurde es allerdings eher einen Marathon nennen, da dieser Sprinter-Leistung aus Roosendaal kam, total 37,4 Kilometer.

The SLT (Sprinter Light Train) is the newest type of Sprinter used by NS, and has been in service since February 2009. The SLT is an electric train, coloured white and blue with yellow details, and is easy to board and disembark from. The Sprinter was designed to transport passengers comfortably over short distances with a relatively large number of stops. Boarding and disembarking is easy thanks to the many wide doors, ground-level entry, spacious carriages and uncluttered interior. Sprinters are designed for metro-like travel for passengers with an average short journey time.
Thank you to Dean, Canadian Flickr friend who helpfully supplied the 'official' name for our new season [apparently Sprinter is even worse up there than here in NY].
This photo is from April 6th, and the snow was flying - but it is still snowing today! So probably, 2018 will consist of Winter, Sprinter, Summer, and Fall.
Let's hope all this does not lead to a new season named "Wummer"

Seen once again in perfect conditions, RL309 and sister QUBE logistics unit RL310 sprint North to Somerton with 7635 empty grain having just unloaded at North Geelong in the states South West.
This train operates from Somerton as #MC4 to Oaklands for loading, before running back as #CM4 to Somerton loaded. From here, the train will either operate to Appleton Dock or North Geelong for unloading. On this occasion, the train went to North Geelong grain loop for unloading.
Once at Somerton after the train has been unloaded, the locomotives run light engine to North Dynon for refueling and prepping for their next run North.

My first entry to Round 1 of this year's Iron Forge! The seed part is used 4 times in the 50947 variety – specifically the fun printed ones from this Tiny Turbos set. As soon as I saw I had these, I knew I had to use the red headlights as eyes, and the idea of a sprinting robot was born instantly.
Had some fun with the pictures and tried to give the bot some personality. Check out the alternate shot!

The guys over at The LEGO Car Blog are running a contest having something to do with appeasing their elves. They say extra kudos points go to the contestants who somehow include an elf in their entries. You may as well just hand the prize to me, boys. Sprint racing is dangerous, dirty and stupid...which leads me to believe the elves will get their little panties in a bunch over this. Seems this foolish elf has discovered his own definition of Sprint Racing!
