Taken at the live performance of the musical composition "Finale" and its accompanying photography exhibit.
The next shot in my flower session at Gilcrease Museum. Not too different. This shows the scene without any cropping.

Here's another in this continuing Steam Sunday series presenting sequential shots from this location featuring my most memorable experience shooting 'The Queen of Steam', Norfolk and Western Class J 4-8-4 611 during her round trip from Spencer to Asheville and return via the S Line and the famed Old Fort Loops across the Blue Ridge Mountains. Though she traveled this route many times during her first excursion career in the 1980s and early 90s this trip would turn out to be her one and only time traversing the route during NS' short lived 21st Century Steam program revival.
I missed her first rebirth in the 1980s and early 90s and fell in love with her when I watched one of the first railroad programs I'd ever seen on TV...National Geographic's stunning 1984 production, Love Those Trains. She had a brief presence in that show along with other legendary sights of railroading that I had no idea then that I would someday get to see for myself!
If you're at all curious and haven't seen that classic program it is a available on YouTube here: youtu.be/JhD-V2tXlYg
But I was too young when she was retired for the second time in 1994 and promised myself a few years later that if she came back for a third life I wouldn't miss her! And indeed I didn't. I was there in Spencer when Wick Moorman turned the ceremonial first wrench on the turntable at Spencer in 2014 and then again in 2015 to see her first revenue run as she stormed the Blue Ridge on 'home rails'.
But the best show ever was the following year when she made this trip from Spencer to Asheville via the NS S-Line and the famous Old Fort Loops. We hiked in on the Point Lookout Trail to this spot between High Ridge Tunnel and McElroy Tunnel. In these views I'm an shooting railroad east as she marches first through the 589 ft Lick Log Tunnel, catches a splash of sunlight then approaches us through rhe short 77 ft long McElroy Tunnel.
This is a legendary eastern mountain railroad that was little remarked except by a dedicated few. I always wanted to visit this place and made it on two occasions....and I'm glad I did. Because in May of 2020 thanks the closing of the Linwood hump as part of the continued PSR driven traffic changes all through trains were removed from this route leaving only the daily round trip passage of the Asheville to Bridgewater local, which itself lost most of its traffic with the closure of the massive Canton paper mill in 2023. But seven years ago there were still two daily pairs of trains that traversed the length of the route along with occasional unit trains, extras, and re-routes.
The line is generally flat from Salisbury 111 miles west to Old Fort where suddenly it meets the thrust of the Blue Ridge Mountains and climbs 1000 ft to the Eastern Continental Divide at Ridgecrest, elevation 2535 ft. The top of the grade is only three miles as the crow flies from Old Fort, but it takes about 13 rail miles to get there. There are seven tunnels (including the 1832 ft long one at the summit) on the line and grades as steep as 2.9%. The train is seen here approaching MP 121 as it makes its way thru the second and third of five found in a mini tunnel district in the span of about 1 1/2 miles.
Completed by the Western North Carolina Railroad in 1880 the route ultimately came into the Southern Railway fold and was an important through route for nearly a century and a half. But now times have changed and the future is uncertain. However, the state of North Carolina has longed to bring passenger rail to Asheville via this route, so with the shift of freight traffic away now may be the time. I'm confident the rails here will remain, though the main focus of their economic utility may shift. Only time will tell.

After several weeks performing as a solo act the Shops Shover has returned to a duo and in fine form at that. Matched sequential sisters 6202 and 6203 have reunited once again to attack Byron hill.

37677 & 37678 run light at Peak Forest on the afternoon of the 26th April 1991. Red Stripe Growlers were still around the area at the time, although their use on stone trains was shortly to diminish with the advent of the Class 60s.
These 4 sequential shots taken between 13.25 and 13.35 have all been posted before but I have rescanned, reprocessed and reposted them full frame.
They show one of the few named Stanier Black 5 4-6-0s 45156 Ayrshire Yeomanry running light engine from Exchange station to Victoria station 3 weeks before the end of steam in the Manchester area.
Following closure of Patricroft 45156 was transferred to Rose Grove shed but didn't survive the August 1968 cull and was cut up in December 1968. Exchange closed in 1969 and was demolished while Victoria is still open it has been seriously rebuilt over the years.
This morning I woke up to news of Possible river flooding due to rain and melting snow. I went to nearby Sheboygan Falls to check out the situation . The river was not as dramatic as had been predicted, but it was still interesting. As it was a gray day with drizzle, I decide to shoot in b&w mode.
This is a view of the water through the wrought iron fence that is on the west bank of the river. Through the three openings moving left to right you can see the falling water, then the rapids, and finally ice floating on the river.
A trio of Geeps lead a 120N towards Anchorage on a glorious early Spring day. Blue skies, snow on the mountains and a train traversing Turnagain Arm at Indian. The geek in me got a kick out of sequential Geeps 3007-3008-3009.
528 sequential shots during 2 hours of shooting overlooking Canyon Sin Nombre in the badlands of Anza-Borrego State Park, California on a full moon evening. The lit mountainside you see in the lower center is the Border Patrol caravan that had passed earlier, spotlighting the mountainsides during a search.
LSL's latest acquisitions 37401 and 37402 were employed to collect Harry Needle's latest buy 73951 and 73952 and move them to Worksop. Booked to run as 0Z58 and via the Sutton Park line 56301's failure at Park Lane Junction meant the Park was chock-a-block with trains so one of the 37's ran round at Bescot and onward through Birmingham New Street giving us the chance to record the convoy at Bromford Bridge with the Tarmac plant providing an industrial backdrop.
I posted three sequential shots of a Gyrfalcon strike this evening. The image above is very close to the moment of capture.

A sequentially numbered pair of Canadian National SD75Is arrive at CP-5 in Ridgefield Park, NJ at the point of CSX Q417. The Canadian visitors are howling with the drone sound of dynamic brake fans as the train slowly approaches Bellmans Yard to set off the rear end of the train.
The neighboring Susquehanna yard is for the most part empty as the Friday SU-99 power was relayed to Bogota earlier this evening.

Only just turned 3pm and the sun is slowly disappearing over the horizon.
The last rays just about light up 1L56 with 1L55 approaching in the distance. The up service was worked by 170394 and the down by 158733.
Still, the days are fair drawing out....
