Saturday 27 July 2019.
A focus of my last two weekend trips to the Speedway was "tying up some loose ends" of locations that I had neglected or just wasn't happy with previous efforts. One of which was the famous Switch Tender in downtown Jackson, which somehow I had zero shots of a KCS train at even for as many trips to the area that had been made over the last 5 years. That was likely due to being one of the few places that works for eastbounds in the afternoon, and my usual plans would involve following westbounds over towards Vicksburg and Louisiana after lunch.
Anyway, to rectify that with about a month to go before the official takeover M-SHNS rolls through town on the half-mile of trackage rights over CN's former IC mainline to New Orleans. Of course in the background to the right is the famous Art Deco Standard Life building, now being renovated into loft apartments.
A shot lost in the slide box for 36 years, taken by my father. I was standing next to him and missed the shot, so it didn't show up in my personal inventory - out of sight, out of mind. Himself dismissing it because the tight crop cut off the locomotive, until the full clean framing was realized by taking the positive out of the mount and repositioned for scanning. Now rediscovered. Taken at Shawmut Avenue in Boston, an eastbound Amtrak train approaches its destination of South Station behind F40PH No. 213, with two generations of John Hancock buildings for a backdrop. Nice one, Dad.
Another 12+ hour trip is in the books. With no time left to work. a yard crew is on the way to relieve us. It appears that they are in no rush, as it has been a 30 minute delay already.
While waiting, I stand on the front platform of my locomotive and reflect on this beautiful view in front of me. It is by no means a perfect shot; no tripod and soft focus. But this skyline has always inspired me.
Take tonight for example. It has been a long day and I am tired. A nice warm shower and a bed sound so appealing. But as I take in this awesome sight, I feel rejuvenated. This skyline has brought me back so many times.
Railroading can be a tough life. No matter how hard you try, no matter how much you plan, working 12 hours over night is difficult.
Ask any fellow rail rider, the tale is the same. Been up all day. Have errands to run, appointments to keep, grass to cut.
Just when nap time approaches in the late afternoon, something else pops up. Volleyball game for daughter, basketball practice for the son, dinner with the neighbors.
Marking off isn't an option. Bills never stop coming in. Costs keep going up. Missing a round-trip isn't financially feasible tonight. Can't do it.
So with no chance for rest earlier in the day, you slide into the sheets hoping to get a few hours. Before you know it, the phone rings. Not for the hotshot intermodal train you had hoped for either, but a dog. The train no one wants.
After working hundreds of these all-nighters, good train or bad, every trip to Chicago has eventually ended at this signature skyline. I have witnessed it draped in fog, silhouetted by storm clouds, against sunrises and sunsets, you name it.
Nothing, and I emphasize nothing, is more dramatic than this cityscape at night under clear skies. Building lights twinkle, antennas glow and flash. And from this distance, it is so eerily quiet. The view is mesmerizing.
In 22 months, I will have 30 years behind the throttle. That magic number, 360 months. It allows membership into the elite fraternity of the coveted RRB.
From there, I have a few years to hang around until I reach age 60. At that day in 2026, I will pass my seniority on to the next junior engineer.
Embrace a new chapter in my life I will. As for the skyline, I will miss it immensely! It has never gotten old.
The setting sun scribed a simple signature instead of giving us a spectacular sunset. It was still lovely over the St. Lawrence River in Trois Pistoles.
As the weather cools, stinkbugs begin swarming, as they look for warm places to spend the winter. This is a relatively new phenomena in our area, but sadly has become a repeating trend in the fall season.

The sand patterns were mesmerising, beautiful, curious and fascinating. As I set about making an image I found that I was as pondering the origins of such a fabulous piece of artwork. They were certainly like none I’d seen before although I was aware that they had been created by wave energy. Then I wondered about the energy at play and how wonderful it was that I each wave had left a signature in the countless grains of sand. Every time I look at this image that wonder returns, especially as it hangs as a print. The mysteries of the universe revealed on a beach in Wales.

Grape farmers put the grape branch on a rope or wire.
After grapes period some parts of dry grape branch parts stayed on the line and in this term they can make interesting signatures :)
