MAV Class M47 diesel loco. No.478-328 passes Fehervarcsurgo with the daily trip from Szekesferervar to Mor. This is normally a Class M62 working but they were being used for the Line 5 diversions. 15-11-2023.
While F9A No. 5771 undergoes a rebuilt and repaint in Denver, GP40-2 No. 3123 substitutes on the Rio Grande Zephyr train No. 17 pictured between Colton and Soldier Summit the evening of June 23, 1979.
We heard on the news that due to the pandemic, our online food deliveries were likely to have a lot of substitutes in the coming days. And indeed we did get a Savoy cabbage instead of a pointed cabbage. Unfortunately it didn't taste half as nice as it looked.
It seems like I've been here before.
I enjoyed a good long natter with the farmer at Settle Junction about the weather and lambing. It's been a tough time with the fields all waterlogged.
Inevitably Saturday was another wet day, but the promised sunshine at the end of the day did come good.
Substituting for failed BRITANNIA, 47805 gets underway at Settle Junction after omitting the Horton water stop and waiting at the new semaphore signal for trains on and off the Little North Western.

As a late substitute for A4 SNG (which failed the day before) D213 passes the gallery at Culross with Steam Dreams 'Forth Bridge Lunchtime Tour' in lovely conditions - I've never seen the Forth so calm ! 25/11/23
After being 37 hauled all week, the Eastleigh based Test train ran this week. The usual "0Z37" ran, to remove them off, I knew it would be back to the usual 73/9s again. Here 73964 tnt 962 pass through Tudeley, working the 1Q56, Tonbridge West yard - Woking
Hired in from DB to DCR, 60019 rounds the corner towards Water Orton with 6Z47 Derby Chaddesden Sidings to Wembley TC.
I spent a substantial amount of time along the Devils Lake Sub today, and did not see a single train. Two and a half hours this afternoon, after a good hour in the morning, and nothing. The second train since sunset is passing now. So I've dug this shot from earlier this year out to post tonight. A westbound grain train slogging up the grade through Arvilla.
Standing in for a BZMOT DMU Class M47/2 No.478-220 is approaching journeys end at Barcs with Train No.8963 17:27 from Szentlorinc. 11-06-2024.
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.

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.

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.
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.
"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.

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.

due to covid restrictions the regular moon lantern parade component of the ozasia festival could not be held this year, but a walking trail was substituted, and the event was staged over 4 nights, rather than as a one-off

Paul Simon - The Cool, Cool River

Moves like a fist through the traffic
Anger and no one can heal it
Shoves a little bump into the momentum
It's just a little lump but you feel it in the-
In the creases and the shadows
With a rattling deep emotion
The cool, cool river
Sweeps the wild, white ocean
Yes boss, the government handshake
Yes boss, the crusher of language
Yes boss, Mr. Stillwater
The face at the edge of the banquet
The cool, cool river
Cool, the cool river
I believe in the future
I may live in my car
My radio tuned to
The voice of a star
Song dogs barking at the break of dawn
Lightning pushes the edge of a thunderstorm
And these old hopes and fears
Still at my side
Anger and no one can heal it
Slides through the metal detector
Lives like a mole in a motel
A slide in a slide projector
The cool, the cool river
Sweeps the wild, white ocean
The rage, the rage of love turns inward
To prayers of devotion
And these prayers are
The constant road across the wilderness
These prayers are
These prayers are the memory of God
The memory of God
I believe in the future
We shall suffer no more
Maybe not in my lifetime
But in yours, I feel sure
Song dogs barking at the break of dawn
Lightning pushes the edges of a thunderstorm
And these streets
Quiet as a sleeping army
Send their battered dreams to heaven, to heaven
For the mother's restless son
Who is a witness to, who is a warrior
Who denies his urge to break and run
Who said 'hard times'?
I'm used to them
The speeding planet burns
I'm used to that
My life's so common it disappears
And sometimes even music...
cannot substitute for tears
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
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.
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.
Linda and I though we would put up something a little different for everyone! We shot this image a couple weeks ago during the October full Moon! We hope you enjoy the image and as always thanks for all the comments !!

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.
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 garden has now filled in with flowers and is looking quite splendid. The daffodils and tulip blooms are finished and have been deadheaded and the lupines, wall flowers and bluebells are now in full bloom and are dominating the garden, with other species about to bloom including French lavender and Icelandic poppies. Increasing numbers of bees are present, but so far the only butterflies are the occasional white cabbage butterflies.

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. (:
detail of a column, Michelozzo courtyard - Palazzo Vecchio, Florence
Il cortile di Michelozzo a Palazzo Vecchio fu progettato da Michelozzo nel 1453: il famoso architetto sostituì i pilastri con colonne cilindriche e ottagonali e poi edificò il loggiato. Nel 1556 Cosimo I chiese a Giorgio Vasari di rendere ancora più spettacolare questo spazio, in occasione delle nozze di Giovanna d’Austria con Francesco I de’ Medici.
Le lunette che decorano la parte alta del porticato rappresentano le insegne delle chiese di Firenze ma anche i simboli delle potenti corporazioni delle arti e dei mestieri. Nei riquadri sotto invece sono state dipinte le vedute di alcune città dell’impero di Asburgo per rendere omaggio a Giovanna d’Austria. Le volte sono arricchite da decorazioni grottesche.
Le colonne sono riccamente decorate, con scanalature alternate a parti lavorate con stucchi dorati, opera di Santi Buglioni e Lorenzo Marignolli.
Al centro, in sostituzione dell'antico pozzo, venne eretta una fontana su disegno di Vasari: un ampio basamento ottagonale, con gli ultimi due gradini rotondi e una colonnina di porfido che regge una vasca marmorea. Sulla fontana venne collocata nel 1557 la più antica statua bronzea del Putto con delfino di Andrea del Verrocchio (1470 circa), spostata dal 1959 al secondo piano del palazzo e sostituita nel cortile da una copia.
Michelozzo's courtyard in Palazzo Vecchio was designed by Michelozzo in 1453: the famous architect replaced the pillars with cylindrical and octagonal columns and then built the loggia. In 1556 Cosimo I asked Giorgio Vasari to make this space even more spectacular, on the occasion of the wedding of Giovanna of Austria with Francesco I de' Medici.
The lunettes that decorate the upper part of the portico represent the insignia of the churches of Florence but also the symbols of the powerful guilds of arts and crafts. In the panels below, on the other hand, views of some of the cities of the Habsburg empire have been painted to pay homage to Joan of Austria.
The vaults are enriched with grotesque decorations.
The columns are richly decorated, with grooves alternating with parts worked with gilded stucco, the work of Santi Buglioni and Lorenzo Marignolli.
At the center, in substitution of the ancient well, a fountain was erected according to Vasari's design: a wide octagonal basement, with the last two round steps and a porphyry column supporting a marble basin. On the fountain was placed in 1557 the oldest bronze statue of the Putto with dolphin by Andrea del Verrocchio (about 1470), moved in 1959 to the second floor of the palace and replaced in the courtyard by a copy.
