I set out to spend a Friday on the BNSF Chillicothe Subdivision, with a particular emphasis on shooting a few locations where I didn't have good morning perspectives – particularly with the vintage Santa Fe searchlights, cantilevers, and signal bridges soon to disappear forever. About the last thing I expected was a mixed freight train led by a GP39-2 wearing BN paint.

Several Canadian National guards man the east side of Durand, Michigan if you approach. This was once the Grand Truck main line between Detroit and Chicago. New "Safe-T" signals provide the Christmas y feel.

Instow railway station was a railway station in the village of Instow, North Devon, England, on the Bideford Extension of the North Devon Railway. Opened in November 1855, the station closed to passengers in 1965, but the line remained open for freight until 1982. The signal box has been preserved as a working attraction. The Atlantic Coast Express used to go through the station on its way to Torrington, but it did not call at Instow.
The former site of the railway tracks is now part of the Tarka Trail.
Computer issues at South Lyon after meeting counter part L303 caused over an hour delay which during this time of year really takes away a lot of photo possibilities. With shadows at every other signal east of here. L302 passes the 64.4 signals between Webberville and Fowlerville in some mint afternoon golden light that was very rapidly falling behind the trees.
I might not have time to do a full "year in review" this year, but -- then again -- I'm not sure I took enough photos throughout the year to do one!
That said, certainly the highlight of my photography year was a three-day trip to Virginia with Brian Plant. In 2017, I had a very brief introduction to NS's H-Line north of Roanoke while on my way home from a work conference in Tennessee. I always wanted to go back, but -- with a wife and son at home -- finding the time always made that difficult. When NS started replacing the steam-era CPL signals on the line, however, I knew that time was of the essence. This year, Brian Plant offered to do the driving if I met him partway down, so -- with my wife's blessing -- we were off!
I figured Sunday, April 14th would just be a travel day, so I was very pleasantly surprised when Brian and I were able to catch up to southbound Train 13Z and the weather cooperated! Here, the train knocks down the CPL signal at Arcadia -- my favorite location on the line.
Recently, NS replaced the CPL signals here, so this shot was just in time for sure!

Sam pointed out this neat dwarf signal at the diamond, and since the RoadRailer had yet to gain speed, I ran across with the fisheye to get a shot. One of my favorites from the weekend.

Happy Monochrome Monday!
The Signal gasoline station, now Signal Pizza in St. John's neighborhood of Portland, was built and opened in 1939 as a gas station for the Signal Oil Company. It was in operation as a gas station until 1984, but changed brand from Signal Gas to Hellman's Golden Eagle Gas Station in 1954 and, in turn, became a Chevron station in 1965.
Truro signal box is supposed to be closing before the end of the year. So here is a record shot of box, the semaphore signalling before 57602 leaves Truro with the 1A50 2145 Penzance - London Paddington 'Night Riviera sleeper train' 19/4/23.
Chitahanto, Aichi, Japan, 2017
This was made during a recently completed photography tour of Japan that I hosted with Rohan Reilly.
As I don't often get an opportunity to speak to other photographers, I feel fortunate to have hosted such an accomplished group of photographers and, more than that, just a fine and funny group of people.
