CSX's NMMA/L073(?) passes the abandoned Maine Central depot at Lincoln, ME on 10/6/2024 with CSX 9280 and the last active CSX C40-9W, 9025 and 0x0 for EMR. Due to a several day outage while crossings in Bangor were being replaced, CSX ran light up to Mattawamkeag to clear what traffic was sitting on the interchange.
The depot here was last used about 15-20 years ago as a MOW base before things were consolidated to Old Town. From what one of the MOW guys told me a few years back, Guilford was still using motor cars to patrol the tracks here in the early 2000's, being the last section on Guilford to do so. These were kept in the side of the depot which has the garage door.

Just moved this to the front of my photostream, so no need to re-comment for those who have. Accidentally released the prior photo earlier than I planned-- will at some point re-release it.
A glorious moment on Florida Bay. It's raining all day now-- I wanted to remember the sunshine also.
Taken 12/30/09, Uploaded 4/12/10, #0378, slight Enhancement and crop, straightened, Topaz Denoise (taken in low light at sunset, so lots of noise). I may have lightened this too much, original also in first comment below. All critiques welcome.

"Sailing" by Christopher Cross: www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9NkBxxHxAc
It's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
It's not far to never never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
Sailing
Takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me
It's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
And when the wind is right you can sail away
And find serenity
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me

Belgian sail training ship
L´Avenir photographed at the World Exhibition in Ghent in July, 1913. My restoration and colorization of the original image in the Finnish Heritage Agency archive.
"The L'Avenir was a four-masted steel barque built in 1908 by R.C. Rickmers, Geestemünde for Soc. Anon. Maritime de Belge S.A., Antwerp as a sail training ship. Its dimensions were: 286.5 × 44.6 × 24.7 ft (87.3 × 13.6 × 7.5 m) and tonnage: 2738 GRT and 2074 NRT. 1932 sold to Gustav Erikson, Mariehamn. 1937 sold to Hamburg Amerika Linie (Germany) and was renamed Admiral Karpfanger. In 1938 she sailed from Port Germein, Australia, for Hamburg with a cargo of 3500 tons of wheat. After having radioed its position 51°S and 172°E on March 1 and "all well" it was not heard of again."

Admiral Karpfanger disappeared in March 1938 in the Kap Horn area with 60 crew members (33 of which were 15 - 18 year old cadets).

4 months after my Dad passed away I took a trip to USA. I spent some hours in Key West, took some photos of the sunset there, what a Beautiful place!

My uncle Heleno, my mother's brother who lived in Belo Horizonte, passed away yesterday. I think of my cousins who just lost their father, my aunt, my mom, who rushed to the airport so nervous... it breaks my heart. Death is very hard on those who stay. It also puts things in perspective, Life is short.
I dedicate this photo to my late Dad, my Mother, my Brother and my family in Belo Horizonte.

My father loved sailing. We sailed together many times. When we were kids there were times he took us all sailing at once, many kids (my brother and I along with our cousins) Dad and Mom taking care of us all, great fun. When I was older we lived apart for many years, we used to go sailing together when I went home in Niterói, we talked, laughed... Memories. I miss him so much. I wonder if he sails on the other side.

Another contender in the Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race.
Rated Length: 31.64 • Sec/Mi: 207.66
Owner: Sultana Education Foundation
Previous Races: 2001-2014
Sultana is a full-scale reproduction of the 1768 schooner Sultana, built in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1767, then sold to the British in 1768. The Royal Navy refitted the original Sultana, the smallest schooner ever in the Royal Navy, and sent her back to the American colonies as a revenue cutter to enforce the “tea taxes.” She returned to England in 1772, was sold out of the Royal Navy and ended her career as a merchant ship in the waters off the British Isles.
The new Sultana was built using the actual 1768 Royal Navy survey of the original ship, making her one of the most accurate 18th-century replica ships in existence. Not only did the Royal Navy preserve those survey drawings, but also the ship’s logs, crew lists and correspondence, historical items that have proven invaluable for the ship’s educational programs. Launched in 2001, she is an educational platform and the flagship of the Sultana Education Foundation. More than 5,000 students sail on Sultana each year, participating in hands-on educational programs in history and environmental science designed to promote stewardship of the Chesapeake Bay’s historic, cultural and environmental legacy.
Unfortunately she did not finish the race. I don't why as yet- she's just listed "DNF" in the results. She does seem to have less sail area than some of the others so perhaps that was a factor.
We have seen her docked in Chestertown at her home port before. She's a lovely ship.
