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.

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.
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.
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.

This was from a senior picture shoot I did. He was really into Sprint Car Racing so I had a lot of fun with that. But with this shot I really enjoyed the intense focus he had. Really cool to see
Vancouver’s Monument to Speed: Harry Jerome, the sprinter from Saskatchewan, immortalized in a bronze sculpture in Stanley Park.
Cycling along the Seawall is one of the most amazing experiences, with views of downtown, the mountains, activities around the parks, Stanley Park, beaches, islands and bridges. I could go every day and find something new as it encircles a large part of the peninsula and connects to any part of Vancouver. You can even beat the traffic in the bike lane across the Lion’s Gate bridge.
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.
I captured this coyote sprinting along the auto tour route in the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge in Northern California.
One of the many New 52 shortlived additions to the flash roster of characters. Not as accurate as I would like, but I gave it a shot.
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"
The SLT (Sprinter Light Train) is the newest type of Sprinter used by NS, and has been in service since February 2009. The SLT is an electric train, coloured white and blue with yellow details, and is easy to board and disembark from. The Sprinter was designed to transport passengers comfortably over short distances with a relatively large number of stops. Boarding and disembarking is easy thanks to the many wide doors, ground-level entry, spacious carriages and uncluttered interior. Sprinters are designed for metro-like travel for passengers with an average short journey time.

A historic victory! Congratulations from Alexander Kristoff, Cav flies over the finish line!
Wednesday, July 3: Stage 5, St.-Jean-de-Maurienne - St. Vulbas, 177.4 km
And that's number thirty-five. MARK CAVENDISH (1985) silenced everyone once and for all. Anyone who doubted – imagined or real – that he could still do it. Mark Cavendish, thirty-nine years old, but forever young. “That acceleration, that lunge to the left. With a powerful sprint, Mark Cavendish took Eddy Merckx's victory record in the Tour de France on Wednesday. The Manx Missile sprinted so hard that he crossed the line with a dropped chain.
Until Wednesday, July 3, Mark Cavendish and Eddy Merckx shared the record number of stage victories in the Tour de France, but after a sprint win in the fifth stage, the Briton is the only record holder with 35 stage victories. Afterwards, Merckx posted congratulations on social media and Cavendish said he "loves Eddy". "He has always been super sweet to me. I have not taken anything away from the great Eddy Merckx. This is just a number. Eddy Merckx is Eddy Merckx."
The 79-year-old Merckx congratulated Cavendish via a story on his Instagram channel: "Congratulations Mark on this historic achievement," he said. "Such a good guy who breaks my record in the Tour."
Up to 36, Cav!

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.
