Are you excited? I love that feeling when the seasons are about to switch and we move in to the early spring with all the weather changes that is about to bring. The first major one is happening today and we might be even able to witness and capture aurora or northern lights here in Illinois! This image is captured last spring, I used my wind painted clouds technique to emphasize the movement of the clouds and contrast it agains the still and beautiful Chicago skyline. What do you think?

Just another shot of this cool but homely veteran unit still toiling away in the far northern reaches of New England.
NECR 1750 (EMD SD9 blt. Apr. 1959) is seen switching back and forth over North Elm Street at the south end of the old Central Vermont Itay Yard at about MP 0.5 on the New England Central Railroad's Swanton Subdivision.
The 1750 is rather unattractive with its chopped nose, but sure is cool as the only operating example of this classic model in New England. None of the traditional New England roads ever purchased any SD9s, preferring instead the 4-axle GP9 model which were quite common. The 1750 was an original Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway unit were it served for 39 years as their number 161 before being sold to Railtex in 1998 and transferred to the Georgia Southwestern. It was around that time that its original high short hood was cut down and was renumbered 1900. It was transferred by then parent RailAmerica around 2005 to the Connecticut Southern and then came to the NECR around 2009. For the past dozen years she has been a stalwart switcher though her sibling, NECR 1901 (ex DMIR 168), that came at the same time has since been retired.

July 2007 flashback- Fresno Traction (later PE) double-truck Birney makes a rare appearance outside of the carbarn during a big switch move. Sacramento Northern electric loco 653 provides the muscle.
Had to make the most of this structure even thought the drizzle, thanks to cheif umbrella holder Alan D for keeping the cameras dry. I thought the light trails seemed to be powering the ferns and orb hense the title.
MP15AC 1187 shoves loads of asphalt into the Owens Corning Trumbull Asphalt plant. The company uses it to make asphalt coatings and shingles. A few months ago they received covered hoppers as well on a second spur, but it doesn't look like that's currently being used.

I got the idea for doing these from trying to survive in the Macro Mondays group without being allowed to get creative with the photos.

While they were hidden from our view the crew picked up additional cars and then ran around their train. They finally arrived at our photo location, shoved into the Home Depot Distribution Center on Clearview Road, and switched the two tracks over the next 30 minutes. We headed for lunch.

NS P60 is seen working the McNess lead in East Statesville with a freshly repainted ex-Conrail SD40-2 on the point. The Southern Railway signals are still prevalent on this classic stretch of railroad.
I think I'm ready for this. Unfortunately, I won't be able to start playing a bit seriously until Tuesday night.
Switching one of the Facilities close the the yard located near Virginia Avenue in North Charleston. Interesting catch of a GP20 and GP16. GP20 #2008 appears to have been built as an EMD GP20 demonstrator EMDX #5626 While #2003 is an ex SAL GP16,
After chasing L507 to Saukville, we got lunch and then went to Ackerville for a NB with CN 8898 leading just to shoot it and we then went to Slinger Road where we saw L249 switching Ackerville. L249 would pull to where we were at the crossing a number of times and this was one of them

Maryland Midland's UBHF pulls onto the Hanover Subdivision at Highfield with their pickup from the CSX local. Once the crew clears the switch in the distance, the CSX job will couple up to the cars that the Midland has left for them. After the local clears, the Midland will back up to clear the switch and then proceed east back to the yard at Union Bridge MD.

Mass Central GP38-2 1750 switches a plastic customer on the "Ware River Route" in Ware, MA. I bet people from Ware are sick of those jokes.
is powerful when you have complete control over it.
This is Satomi Ohashi, professional model and student,... she has full control over the switch.
The first time i saw her i thought "ooh, pretty girl,... now where is that model dammit, she's running late!"
when she's not "on" she's as down to earth as you can get,... modest, lovely and even just a bit shy,... you'd never guess that she's worked with some amazing people.
But once the camera comes out,...
flip goes that switch,...
and it's like she opens the floodgates and lets something from deep inside out,...
and it knocked me on my ass.
I've never been so happy to have bruised a coccyx.
edit: I'm not quite sure what happened in the lower right corner,... it's possible it was a shadow from a shelf in the shop window.
McGill's Yutong E12 I5008 SG71 MXP on display and lit up at McGill's launch event for the brand new electric buses. McGill's have invested over £30 million in 55 of these electric buses. So far all of the buses that have entered service wear "Switch 26" route branding for the busy 26 service between Nethercraigs, Paisley, Braehead and Glasgow.
