“Make sense who may. I switch off.”
Quote - Samuel Beckett
Wishing you a nice weekend ahead, will be away for some days.
I agree I got carried away with the associations I had during experimenting with different screws, light sources and backgrounds (most of the images won't be seen here).
It was fun using the new light tape (it can be switched to different colours) that my husband brought home for (especially) macro work.
The four screws here were placed on a shiny plastic bag for reflections plus one on top. There are black cards in the background to darken the scene.
HMM to all participants 💙💙💙
Toledo, Peoria & Western’s Morton Switcher departs Morton, Illinois, with a diminutive train for the yard at East Peoria on a cold day in December 1983. The local this day is powered by TP&W’s only GP18, No. 600, and only one car and a caboose trails the colorful locomotive.
Three Alaska railroad GP's prepare to load out the rest of the ARMS barge on a typical Whittier day. Cold, wet, and foggy pretty much sums up this all season port with the original military era housing standing in the background. One of the neat things about the Whittier switch stands is that they all are some how lit at the same time in this shot and no its not photoshopped. After loading is complete these three Gp's will depart under the cover of darkness for Anchorage.

Spent part of my Sunday walking through the wonderful beech forest at Ekedalen. This shot is made by 4 portrait photos stitched together to get a wider shot and to make sure at least parts of the tree tops are visible. It was my first visit there, but for sure not the last...

For switcher Sunday we see 2 former PRR SW's (a 7 and a 9) leading a westbound local on what was PRR's 4 track main through Canton, Ohio in December 1981. It's about to be overtaken by one of the many trailer trains on the 4 track main that was still in place through town. The building to the left was a Fisher Foods warehouse that clearly still provided some box car business. The freight cars are as cool as the power is blue.

A small railroad locomotive used for maneuvering railroad cars inside a rail yard in a process known as switching (US) or shunting (UK).
This one is at the Niles Canyon Railway maintenance facility near Sunol, California.

Switchers on Saturday finds the TSU crew backing out of their two stall enginehouse and performing a brake test before starting their day of switching the numerous customers along their 10-mile line toward Tulsa.
CSX 2625 and 5353 intercept traffic on Tarragona Street as they hook up to a pair of boxcars spotted on the spur to W.R. Taylor Company. Since W.R. Taylor only has one unloading spot, the crew will pull both cars from the siding, re-spot the load and take the empty car back to Goulding yard. This unique switching operation takers place as needed but sometimes as often as twice a week, depending on demand, but almost always at night. This day the crew wanted to stay ahead of an approaching storm and had no cars to switch around at the port, and thus they managed to get to W.R. Taylor just as dusk started to set in. While this type of scene might have been commonplace 50 years ago, nowadays this operation is one of only a handful of instances left in the entire country where a carload customer is switched out from street running trackage.

CSXT 1203, an MP15T, works Reichhold Inc. in Jacksonville, Fl. I was surprised to see an endcab switcher in town as the vast majority have been sold off and left the roster of almost all Class I railroads.
Week 7. "Ordinary into Extraordinary" for "Compositionally Challenged" group.
I've been lacking in inspiration recently on the photography front, but was determined to get some shots today. I switched to my 100mm Canon L Series macro lens this afternoon, and went on a hunt round the house for everyday objects.
I do love these retro toggle light switches we have in our house. As I focused on them I spotted my reflection and decided to make that the focal point of the shot.
On the former Rock Island main line to Limon, an eastbound Kyle Railroad grain train arrives at Seibert to do some switching at the Seibert Equity Co-Op Association grain elevator on May 6, 2014. Kyle EMD SD45T-2 No. 3099 is the then recently-repainted former Southern Pacific No. 9330, with trailing sister No. 9362 still in remarkably good SP paint.
A trio of SD40Ns switch out a lengthy cut of cars on the east end of West Colton. The lead unit, 1703, was originally built as UP 8064 and was initially geared to run at high speeds for intermodal service.
A good look at the classic bridge as train #196 passes under it and approaches the west switch of Jens.
