The vast coastal dune fields of Namibia, Africa, are home to beautiful wildlife, such as this Springbok, sprinting up one of the dunes. They are specially adapted to this area, and can eat a plant rich in water, but bitter, which their own species in other parts of Namibia would not be able to tolerate.
At sunset, an eastbound Milwaukee Road “Sprint” piggyback train approaches Signal Bridge 19 at Sheffield Tower in Kansas City, Missouri, on December 8, 1985. This is on the Kansas City Terminal and this area has changed just a bit, with the signals gone and a flyover passing over the place instead of the interlocking.
Arriva Trains Wales 'Sprinter' unit 150262 skirts the Conwy estuary as it approaches Glan Conwy station with the 10.08am Llandudno - Blaneau Ffestiniog service (2D14).
Any birdwatchers on the train would almost certainly have taken one of the right-hand seats and, in so doing, enjoyed the sight of a small flock of Shelduck feeding over the exposed mud at low tide.
The shot was taken from the A470 Llanwrst Road just south of the station with the intention of bagging a before and after image.
The striking Bodysgallen Obelisk in the background used to balance the image is not as old as you might think - standing 64 feet high it was built as recently as 1993 by the owners of the Bodysgallen Hotel, lying just below in the village of Esgyryn. Initially it was met with fierce local opposition but, as with so many follies before, time seems to have healed the wounds and it has now become accepted as a local landmark.
Running a bit behind so commenting switched off, thanks.

Northern's 150145 catches the evening sun as it slows on the approach to Edale station with a Manchester bound service on the evening of Sunday 9th June 2019. The bulk of Lord's Seat provides an impressive backdrop.
The stopping services on this route seem to be mostly shared between 150 units and 142s.
A Scotrail Sprinter 156511 passes Holywood with a Carlslie to Glasgow service. You can see the down starter and up home semaphores. The leaves on the trees are just starting to turn this Autumn morning.
Vanuit Leiden en Uitgeest komen in de avondspits Sprinters aan te Haarlem. Links zijn de 2143+2963+2112 te zien. Rechts twee SNG-stellen, waarvan ik de nummers niet heb gezien.
De 2112 (ex 2002 uit 1975) was op dat moment het oudste dienstdoende treinstel bij NS.

Photos from Saturday's race at Knoxville Raceway. This track is a semi-banked half-mile dirt oval raceway at the Sprint Car Capital of the World in Knoxville, Iowa.
Individual photos were taken with a Canon EOS Rebel T6 with a EF 75-300mm telephoto zoom lens and developed with Darktable 3.6.0. The collage was created with Photoshop..

156501 and 156506 draw into New Cumnock station with the 1L83 0913 Glasgow Central to Carlisle service. The station was opened by the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway in 1850.
It closed under British Railways in 1965 but reopened in 1991. Some original features still survive including a fine smattering of semaphores and a station building and signal box. The sidings behind the platform on the right of the shot are a legacy of the once busy coal traffic generated by the Ayrshire coalfield.

Too Windy to get out with the cameras. This is from this past December. Chased by a fast moving front, the clouds were moving so fast that morning they were losing their form, stretching out across the sky like gum. The scraggly trees ain't much but man, that sky. Thanks for the look and have a good week.
[NL] De Sprinter sprint naar Dordrecht. Treinstel 2214 van de Nederlandse Spoorwegen moet nog even volhouden totdat deze het een na laatste station bereikt: Dordrecht Zuid. De overweg aan de Wieldrechtse Zeedijk zorgt er in elk geval voor dat de trein door kan gaan met waar die mee bezig was. Na Zuid volgt de eindsprint naar Dordrecht. Je zou het eerder een marathon kunnen noemen, want trein 5954 uit Roosendaal heeft er al wat kilometers opzitten. Maar eenmaal aangekomen in Dordrecht volgt de rustpauze, exact 15 minuten.
[EN] NS Stadler FLIRT EMU 2214 sprints towards final call Dordrecht Zuid. After a short rest brake at Dordrecht Zuid, the final sprint towards Dordrecht follows. At Dordrecht, the sprint ends, although I would rather call it a marathon, as this service (Sprinter 5954) came from Roosendaal, in total 37,4 kilometres.

Een plaatje uit betere tijden... Het voordeel van alles wat voorbij komt zoveel mogelijk afdrukken is dat wanneer een materieelsoort buiten dienst gaat je er niet op het laatste moment meer achter de laatste stellen aan hoeft zoals nu met de SGM stellen. Ik fotografeer het materieel graag als het nog volop in dienst is en de stellen er nog netjes uitzien zoals nu bijvoorbeeld het SNG.

Thank you to Dean, Canadian Flickr friend who helpfully supplied the 'official' name for our new season [apparently Sprinter is even worse up there than here in NY].
This photo is from April 6th, and the snow was flying - but it is still snowing today! So probably, 2018 will consist of Winter, Sprinter, Summer, and Fall.
Let's hope all this does not lead to a new season named "Wummer"
A pair of Class 150 Sprinter DMUs head south through Abergavenny working the 1V92 Chester to Maesteg TfW service.
Seen once again in perfect conditions, RL309 and sister QUBE logistics unit RL310 sprint North to Somerton with 7635 empty grain having just unloaded at North Geelong in the states South West.
This train operates from Somerton as #MC4 to Oaklands for loading, before running back as #CM4 to Somerton loaded. From here, the train will either operate to Appleton Dock or North Geelong for unloading. On this occasion, the train went to North Geelong grain loop for unloading.
Once at Somerton after the train has been unloaded, the locomotives run light engine to North Dynon for refueling and prepping for their next run North.

Not sure if this is a 1.3 or 1.5, but either way I imagine it would be a fun thing to drive on the French country roads.
