While it looked very inviting outside today, it was actually pretty cold for standing around and playing with toys. Nonetheless, I was able to get a few shots off. It was nice to get my new truck out on the open road.
Two and a half years after it was put into storage, Metrolink F59PHR 873 is back in service powering trains around Southern California. The last of Metrolink's original F59PH fleet, 873 was stored in the summer of 2020 as more new F125 units were brought into service. However, with some F125s and MP36PH units out for maintenance, a handful of F59PHRs were brought back to life. Units 856 and 868 have been running since the summer of 2022; 873 was brought back the week of 12/12 and is still just stretching its legs after a long rest. Here it leads train 362 into Claremont on a Saturday afternoon.

11.35 Coed Avon to Whistle Inn service on Day2 of the Pontypool & Blaenavon [Blaenavon Heritage Railway] Steam Gala.
These Galas really are great fun with trains heading in 3 different directions. Keeping up with the timetable is equally challenging for the volunteers as it is for the paying public, especially so when things start to run a little late.

Here's the taxi rank, and one goose cab is off to a green area. The others gradually follow, reforming each time into another taxi...
It's easier, especially in strong winds for the geese to fly together. Even over a short distance, it's possible to see some geese drop back a bit as others come to the front. I don't know if anybody gets any tips!
According to a news report I once saw, some athletic trainers have urged their trainees to watch how geese work together to achieve their amazing flights.

The Shuangyashan Mines Railway servicing point on New Year's Day 2001 and a temperature of around minus forty, with 'QJ' No.3593 taking on water and labourers about to clear out the ash pits to prevent further ice from forming in the ash pits and surroundings while the going is good - a futile job it would seem!

White House sub shop in Atlantic City has been a favorite of many locals and those who have performed there through the years. Opened in 1946, its fans included members of Hollywood's' rat pack, Marilyn Monroe and many younger celebrities. Many of their signed pictures hang on the walls of this modest little place.
