Foxes Lane Wolverhampton. Pendolino 390010 pauses, held at signals. It will soon be on its way, continuing to its next stop at Wolverhampton with 9M52, the 0852 Edinburgh to London Euston. A guy on an electric scooter wizzes by.
Lucca was a really fun town. They have a medieval wall that encompasses the whole town and Lindsay and I rented bikes and biked right on top of the wall and did the full loop. It was really cool. I did also rent and scooter and went all around Siena with Lindsay on the back. But that's another whole story. Stay tuned for that one.
I had this thing with photographing scoots and bicycles the whole trip. I feel like I need to put together a little photo book or something. I have seriously like a hundred. Lol. No joke.

I was just setting up to shoot these Coots, hoping they would swim into the setting sun, when a boat roared up behind them and spooked the whole group. I just grabbed the camera and started shooting. This is the result.

Surf Scoters take off (after a long run across the water) as our whale watching boat tour disturbs the waters.
Flying as "SCOOTER 787 Heavy" on crew training flights out of BFI. Seen returning after its second of three flights that day.
I was actually trying to photograph the lad in the background, but then this guy shoots out and I managed to get this.

An outbound Rock Island Scoot with E 66o has just cleared Roosevelt Road in June 1974. Not a lot of clearance there.
Metra F40C 606 was pushing an inbound scoot underneath the iconic PRR signals at CP Morgan in 1998.
At the time, all was well with the F40C fleet and they had many years of service ahead of them. Alas, replacements came in 2004.
Metra retained the 610, 611 and 614 and sold the rest to HELM leasing which was supposed to lease them to the Kansas City Southern. That did not pan out and they were all scrapped.
The 610 went to NRE in Dixmoor and sat rotting away until 2020 when it too was scrapped. Metra retains the 611 and 614 which are currently held for possible reactivation at Metra's Western Avenue facility since 2012.
Scooby started out as the Mascot of the barn, and quickly rose to absolute Superstar. He was a show pony and carriage pony and companion and friend to most creatures on and around the property.
We were heartbroken when sadly he got killed by a Paralysis Tick end of September 2024. A Scooby-shaped-piece of my heart will always be hurting, I suspect...
In mid-March I visited a pond that had four fallen limbs in it and each limb had 10 - 15 Painted Turtles lined up sunning themselves having just come out of hibernation.
During one of the normal five-days-a-week commuter rushes....an outbound Metra train is banging over the former WC tracks at Deval....this was taken in August I Believe....nowadays the signal bridge in the background is gone....and Deval has somehow lost its name signs.....and NO it wasnt me that took them....
