Sunday afternoon, March 3rd, 2024 is bright and sunny up on the Llano Estacado as a northbound BNSF freight rolls up the Plainview Subdivision past the abandoned remains of the old grain elevator at Kaffir, Texas, halfway between Tulia and Happy.
Like so many small, independent elevators throughout the High Plains, Kaffir became shuttered and forsaken when the railroad pushed for the loading of 110-car unit grain trains at facilities that could handle them. Grain is now trucked to the super elevators at Amarillo and Shattuck, and to the Agri-Producer's elevator in Plainview where a balloon track has been installed to facilitate their loading.

Happy Slider Sunday!!!!..HSS
I played and played with this one and I'm still not happy with it. I went to all the trouble to add the clouds and than I ran it through Topaz Simplify and lost the details in the clouds..:( I know the fix, but I just got tired of messing with it..:) It still has a painterly look to it and that's kind of what I was looking for.
I finally found a translator program. It's one of those in the Chrome store, for free. It's a little strange in the sense that it wants to translate everything..:) Even if I click on something in English, it translates it into English...:) Oh well, now I have one..lol..
This is from Bull Creek Greenbelt in Austin. We had those two heavy rains back to back, the first one washed the trash into the creek and the second one flushed it out. Presto, clean water..:) Gotta love it!!

For Steam Sunday here's another from last fall on a soggy day chasing the Reading and Northern 2102 on one of several fall foliage excursions she lead.
The stout 4-8-4 built in the Reading Railroad's own shops in 1945 is leading 17 cars headed back some 60 miles to North Reading from the Lehigh Gorge resort town of Jim Thorpe. This was one of the absolute best shows of the day and the sound was incredible here in this colorful tree tunnel as she barked up Hometown Hill at about MP 109.2 on the modern day RBMN's Reading Division mainline. Historically this is former Central Railroad of New Jersey Railroad branchline having been built in 1870 as Nesquehoning Valley Railroad Company.

For today's Steam Sunday here's another recent one from my visit to New England's own Steam Mecca.
For five weeks before Christmas the Valley Railroad (dba Essex Steam Train and Riverboat) runs an astonishing amount of holiday trains branded as the North Pole Express. Most are steam powered and this requires all three of their steam locomotives to be under steam at once. Excepting the Strasburg Railroad I don't believe there is anywhere else in the United States where three standard gauge rod connected locomotives are regularly under steam at the same time. But here, every weekend, it is a normal occurrence as the railroad runs 13 sold out departures between 2 and 8 PM every Sat and Sun (only 9 on Tue-Fri) using four consists one of which is led by one of the road's center cab GEs.
After shooting the 2:30 PM departure by the hardware store crossing I relocated to the signature photo location on the line for the 3 PM train to the North Pole, the open field near MP 4.5 on the old New Haven Valley Line north of the bridge over the Falls River. But 3 PM came and went and I never heard them whistling for departure and started to wonder. About 20 min later than expected something finally appeared...but not what I expected!. Instead of the train it was just VRR 97 running light as I found out later headed to rescue the 2:30 PM train after 3025 suffered an unknown failure requiring her to be set out on the spur track at Deep River. Also take note that 97 has lost her garish white North Pole Express tender decal and again has a proper yellow Valley Railroad script herald.
Built by the American Locomotive Company (Alco) at their Patterson, N.J. works in 1923, No. 97 has had a long and interesting career. It was one of three identical units built for stock, an unusual practice in the locomotive business as usually locomotives were built only when an order was placed. It was finally sold in 1926 to the Birmingham & Southeastern Railroad, an Alabama short line.
On the B&SE it pulled freight and passenger trains until about 1958 when it was retired and stored. It was purchased by a New York publisher and eventually was moved to Essex and in 1972 began a new career pulling trainloads of tourists for the Essex Steam Train & Riverboat.

Southeast of Bowden / northeast of Olds Sunday, July 9, about 9:15 pm. That cell in the background dumped a lot of golfball hail on me a bit later in the evening out between Olds and Torrington.

Meeting up with family for only the second time since February was just wonderful, even if we had to maintain our social distance from each other. We walked in the sunshine in the hills by this reservoir.
I so look forward to the day when we can give them all a hug. Especially the grandchildren!
Stay safe and well everyone.
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated
