This is a set of 6 photos showing the local Santa Fe job switching the elevator at Kentland, Indiana on July 2nd, 1986. Train had ATSF 3063-3071 and arrived with 9 cars. Crew set 5 hoppers in the elevator and departed with 4 cars.
In this photo, the conductor rides in to make the chop and set brakes on the cars.
Fully Charged Live 2021 (aka Fully Charged Outside) was the latest event to be held at the Farnborough International site in Farnborough, Hants. The three-day event hosted a huge selection of electric vehicles including two PSV products. There was also an internal Park & Ride bus service operating using 8 buses over the course of the event with the addition of an occasional trip to Farnborough (Main) railway station.
I visited on the overcast Saturday and returned on the sunny Sunday. For the record, buses seen were:

A pair of MP15DC's in Duquesne awaiting their next assignment. URR 17 formerly had a Bicentennial paint scheme back in the 70's.
The Mac Switcher has just left a cut of gons in the siding and is now pulling ahead with their FBOX for Newberg. They will grab the balance of the train and take it a few more miles north before continuing on with the boxcar.
I was lucky enough to snag a freedom teller coat for Rune while he was at the spa as well. I think these DH pants are a little long though...he needs some tailored ones ^_^

There was no switching that needed to be done so the switcher at the grain elevator in Thomaboro, Illinois, is quiet. It sits next to the mainline of the former Illinois Central, now operated by Canadian National.
Kinda bummed that they look so different. I like Milhwa R's nose better... it's cuter.
I don't know whether i'll keep the Regular Milhwa head.. i might trade it for another R... i'm not sure yet.

ECRX 1457 is an EMD SW14, originally built as a SW7 in June 1950 as Illinois Central 9407, then upgraded to SW14 as ICG 1457. This unit arrived at Casey Yard behind BNSF 4682, and ECRX 193 on train M-TEADYT1-30A. The two ECRX units are headed to Econorail in Baytown, Texas to most likely work one of the plants in the area.
An early evening desert thunderstorm brews in the distance as a set of Trona EMD's go about some switching moves at the UP interchange in Searles before returning home well after dark.
