While Providence & Worcester job CT-1 waits on the main at Reeds Gap for 30 stone hoppers to be loaded, a familiar face is seen switching its loads. At the time, 2011 was on the Air Line since mid-July, but unexpectedly, the GP38-3 was assigned to be the Reeds Gap switcher a few days prior due to mechanical issues with the 80 tonner, the primary switcher, seen jacked up on its rear trucks.
During the period of DMU shortage in the late 1980’s the 17-odds Leeds-Lancaster was frequently formed of a loco and coaches, occasionally a 47 but most often a 31. Immingham’s 31456 waits to depart from Lancaster with the return working 2E90, the 2030 to Leeds, 24 March 1989. Scan from 645 Kodak Tri-X neg.
37685 crosses Rannoch Viaduct with the Royal Scotsman, 13:33 Edinburgh to Spean Bridge. The loco was standing in for 57001 which had been failed with an oil leak.
"Substitute" grölten einst "The Who" und meinten genau das: Stellvertreter, Ersatz!
Weil in jenen Tagen des Jahres 2015 die Schnellfahrstrecke Stuttgart - Mannheim abschnittweise gesperrt war
und deshalb die alte württembergische Westbahn als Ersatz herhalten mußte,
was natürlich mit erheblichen Verspätungen verbunden war
- die alte Strecke ist kurvenreich und langsam -
hatte man kurzerhand einige Zugläufe gestrichen bzw. abgeändert.
Statt des IC 119 ab Münster(Westfalen) verkehrte IC 2571 bis nach Stuttgart Hbf.
IC 119 nach Innsbruck begann dort, aber ohne daß ein Anschluß zum IC 2571 aus Münster hergestellt wurde. Sehr bedenklich!
Immerhin war bei diesem Ersatz-IC wie beim IC 119 eine interessante Bespannung gegeben, die damals von der Leihlok ES 64 U2 021 mit nagelneuer Beklebung erbracht wurde, die die deutsch-ungarische Freundschaft feiern sollte,
obwohl zum Feiern wohl kaum Anlaß bestand...
Jedenfalls:
IC 2571 kam pünktlich aus Mainz am Roten Hang vorbei,
und ich nahm das außergewöhnlich klare Wetter zum Anlaß, den Zug wie am Vortag nochmals dort aufzunehmen.

Power for our tardy Southwest Chief at Raton, New Mexico. Sources informed me (under the condition of anonymity) that the pumpkin was added in Winslow. No cab heat in the lead mud missile. It was a nice trip though.

Rennee (skagitrenee) came up with a Valentine's competition representing love. I liked the idea so much that I contributed five works to the contest and decided to try and upload a work a day about love for Valentine's month of February, and this is my 6th February 2025 addition.
You must first teach a child he is loved. Only then is he ready to learn everything else.

Children do not need us to shape them; they need us to respond to who they are.
Naomi Aldort
It’s time we stop buying the lie that we need to be hard on kids because ‘the world is hard.” Love them as hard as you can. That’s what they need.
Tara Vogler
Make the most of today because it is right here. Play that game, sing that song, read one more book, and enjoy those cuddles. Treasure all those precious little moments. Because at the end of your life, you’ll never look back and think, ‘I spent too much time with my kids.
Anon
Raising children who are hopeful and who have the courage to be vulnerable means stepping back and letting them experience disappointment, deal with conflict, learn how to assert themselves, and have the opportunity to fail. If we’re always following our children into the arena, hushing the critics, and assuring their victory, they’ll never learn that they have the ability to dare greatly on their own.
Brene Brown
To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is.
Fred Rogers
Too much love never spoils our children. Children become spoiled when we substitute presents for presence.
Anthony Withman
Behind every young child who believes in himself is a parent who believed first.

Feeling heard and understood allows children to release the feelings, let go, and move on

With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe, and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
4911 and 4917 use all their strength to lift T171 off the departure road at Port Botany, as they power through Pagewood heading for Enfield.
The pair were on hire for a few days to fill in for an ill G534.

Having spent several hours sitting on my favourite uncomfortable rock, I decided Mrs Otter was not going to put in an appearance.
It had nevertheless been a nice evening, watching the distant white tailed eagle and a flock of common terns.
As I made my way back home I suddenly spotted a pair of mergansers. Rather than being someway off shore as per usual, they were were sat on the rocks. They were as surprised as I was and swam slowly away enabling me to get a few shots before they rounded the headland.
The perfect way to round off the day.

As always I extend my sincere gratitude to all who are kind enough to comment and fave my photos or even stop by and just have a look. It is very much appreciated. 5937

C-GCJL, an Airbus A320-214, on approach to runway 23 at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario.
It was arriving as FLE644 (Flair Airlines Ltd., operated by Canada Jetlines Operations Ltd.) from Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Serial number 4175 first flew on January 25, 2010 and began its career as N417AV with Avianca on February 11, 2010. It was later operated as TC-DCJ by Pegasus Airlines.
Substituting for a Siemens set, VIA 24 with an LRC consist crosses the CPKC Winchester Sub at De Beaujeu.
From around Christmas 2025, with a few days here and there as exceptions, JR Freight Train #75 has been utilizing an EF65 electric as standard power in place of their normal EF210.
Train 75 is an intermodal shuttle, operating 6 days a week during the midday between Tokyo Terminal and Sumida Terminal via JR's Nambu, Musashino and Joban Lines. No concrete reason for the change was given but considering these boxcabs have been used only as needed since 2024, many local railfans have eagerly welcomed shooting this JNR era classic once again on a daily basis.

Amtrak's (Iowa Pacific) Hoosier State rolls into Dyer on a fine summer evening. The leader looks rough. However, I'm sure service was fine in the lounge car. Best short distance train I was ever on (under Iowa Pacific). Absolutely.
No neon around here, but, once upon a time, there would have been at the cinema...and they still skeuomorph it.
Making a welcome change from the usual 'Doughnut' on 6Z16 Chaddesden to Brandon was 56091 'Driver Wayne Gaskell' seen rounding the curve at Sedgebrook on 19th November 2021
Last time DCR had a shortfall of available 60s they hired in one from DB Cargo. I can only assume that due to Toton not servicing their locos anymore that today's substitute had to come from the very infrequently used 56 pool
The shape of the school building reminds me of Spongebob's house a lot.

This was a real treat to see and the only time I have seen one!! They seem to like dense brush and lots of cover and do not like to come out into an opening!! This was also photographed during north bound migration when they are at their peak of color!! They are a stunning bird. Thanks for looking and we will see everyone on Friday!!

9H-TQZ, an Airbus A340-313, on approach to runway 06R at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario.
It was arriving as TSC4481 (Air Transat A.T. Inc., operated by Hi Fly Ltd.) from Lisbon, Portugal.
Always a treat to see a quadjet hauling passengers these days.
This TV is older than me.
Which is quite quite odd. (:
I have to say that I actually do read alot more than I watch TV which didnt used to be the case. Im past the point of caring that i look like a nerd because im always getting books out in public places and being antisocial by reading them. :)
I think some of my friends should read more to be quite honest. :D
im eating an apple by the way.. :)
and just to clarify, if your a weakling like me, dont carry the TV yourself..although i did because my daddy thinks im weird and wouldnt carry it into the garden for me. :D
I totally stole the TV-in-your-back-garden idea from Chrisology. (:
P.S this is my only explore and im quite proud of that. (:
Having seen a couple of videos of Bulleid Pacific 34053 'Sir Keith Park' operating on The Spa Valley Railway, I was encouraged to go down for a trip on the line. On the videos I'd seen trains had been top and tailed with 34053 at one end and BR type 2 31 430 'Sister Dora' at the other end.
When I arrived at the railway however, I was advised that 'Sir Keith Park' wasn't in service and electro-diesel 73 140 would be top and tailing with the '31'. I didn't mind too much as I like the 'ED', particularly since they've painted it in BR blue livery instead of the Network SouthEast colours it used to have.
So here 73 140 arrives in The Spa Valley Railway's platform 2 at Eridge, with the first arrival of the day from Tunbridge Wells West.
Eastbound Amtrak train 42, the Pennsylvanian, rounds the curve at Christiana. Normally the Pennsylvanian will keep its P42 all the way to Philadelphia before switching to electric power. However, on this day an engine failure warranted an ACS-64 out of Harrisburg.
Amtrak GE B32-8WH 506 was tacked on ahead of the Cabbage Car on Hiawatha train 334 due to an issue with the Cabcar.
I trudged up the track from the Lake Forest depot during a nice, heavy, wet snow along CP's C&M Subdivision.
The brutal cold over New Year's Week was taking its toll on Amtrak's equipment in Chicago. Many of their SC44 "Chargers" and P42DC's were sidelined due to mechanical issues related to the cold weather. As a consequence (a blessing for us), Amtrak substituted its regular locomotives on some of their trains with older B32-8WH's. Here, Amtrak 518 leads what is presumably a Lincoln Service deadhead for Chicago Union Station, seen approaching 17th St.
CN C40-8 2008 leads CN Q149 west past the GTW g-heads in Merrillville, IN. Originally, the IC unit second out was leading, but a stuck bell caused it to be taken out of the lead. Thankfully the substitute was also a nice leader and not a GEVO!
20107 and 20096 approach Craven Arms top and tailing Mk2d BFK 17159 running as 5Z20 0840 Crewe-Ninian Park. The ensemble subsequently spent a couple of days working over the Central Wales line, presumably for training purposes.

I've often espoused a principle in wildlife photography. It seems obvious, but some still don't think about it, so I'll go at it again. This time I'll be applying it specifically to the process of creating my 150 Challenge 2017 album.
The operating theory is: NEVER miss a shot. Always try to get something.
Here's the four step approach.
1. Especially for new / lifer subjects, FIRST, GET THE SHOT. Get something. A crummy snapshot is way better than nothing. At least you have something.
I'll call this the Delta-quality image.
2. Then, or in the future, try to get a better shot. Something a step up in quality from the first one. Maybe not wonderful, but an improvement. This is the Charlie-quality image.
3. Always try for GOOD shot. Better than either of the others, and one for which one could be pleased, perhaps even proud. This would be the Bravo-quality image.
4. The life's goal photograph. The once-ever shot. The Nat Geo cover image. Best you can do! This is the Alpha quality photo; doesn't happen too often, except perhaps for the 'use a blind, a tripod, a baited or known perch and an impossibly expensive long lens.' For the rest of us...we will always strive for that glorious 'Pulitzer Award' type photo.
Get A shot
Get A Better Shot
Get A Quite Good Shot
Get the El Supremo Supernal Shot.
I'm replacing a delta-level painted turtle photo in my 150 Challenge 2017 album with this perhaps Charlie + image of one. I can do better yet, and will.
(The original shot, being replaced, is in the top comment box)
