Taken with a Samsung S22 Ultra. phone camera using the telephoto lens.
Not the best Ariel photo but what I thought was not possible was that the phone recorded the GPS position whilst in 'Flight Mode', which we were permitted to switch to.
I was not even connected to the QANTAS in flight WIFI.
This was about 20 km SSE of the Township of Finke in the Northern Territory, at an altitude of about 10,600 metres.
I guess in flight mode no signals are sent out by the phone but signals coming in (GPS signals) can be recorded ??
I'm not sure how acurate these GPS signals were but they seem to correspond to what I saw and what is on Google Earth with this and other photos that I took.
As freight car capacity and size increases, so does the horsepower requirement to move said cars. One of CN's "Super Switcher" sets heads north on the Camrose Sub after switching the Atla Steel Plant on the east side of Edmonton Alberta.
Maine Northern Railway Train 900-14 makes some switching moves at Skerry Siding on the Madawaska Subdivision.
Out of view behind the train is a massive sawmill owned by Maine Northern's parent company J.D. Irving. The mill makes up a large portion of MNR's traffic, shipping logs to Woodland, lumber, and chips for Irving's papermills in Saint John. Having just spotted a cut of empty chip cars, an army of front end loaders has already started the process of loading the empties. Roughly 50 chip cars, around 20 log cars, and 9 center beams can be loaded at a time. Depending on demand, the mill can be switched on both the north bound and southbound leg of 900's journey.
The empty log cars on the head end are destined for the yard at Fort Kent, where they will be loaded by the TNT Road Company which harvests for Irving Woodlands. Others will go to Irving's Grande-Riviere sawmill in Saint-Leonard, NB to be loaded there.

Don't we all have a tendency to get into routines, doing things the same way over and over, just because that's how we've always done them. Routines can be a trap that prevent us from seeing opportunities and experiencing life.
Here's a thought; what if you're so intimately involved in your life that you have lost perspective? Like a frustrating problem that you can't walk away from.
The way out of that trap is to get out of your routine. Make an effort to experience something new, really new and different, every day. Make it a point to take alternate routes to familiar places. Try a new kind of food. Adjust the lighting differently. Re-arrange your furniture. The list is limitless and so are the possibilities.
Step back, look at the things you do every day, and ask yourself "why?" Then look at the things you've never thought you could do, or never considered doing, and ask "why not?"
Take yourself to the places where you have never been, in the people you don't know much about. One place to do such activity is Hunza. With all its mystery and grandness Hunza takes you out of the routine and for sure stun you with the atmosphere and history.
The only way you can take control of your life is to switch off the auto-pilot and steer your way into this world.

When you read you surely felt this feeling of leaving reality, living some one else's life jumping, laughing endlessly in your own made up world that exists secretely in your mind and no one is possible to manipulate or destroy it. When I've read a book which plot fascinated me so enourmously, even days after, I am dizzy, rewiniding the smallest details in my head, learning the most beautiful passages by heart and thinking what a great loss the death of one person was, I can get really sad, thiking what a loss for the world it is - BUT wait stop, it's only a book. No one died here. But thiking of the fate of the characters makes me thinking of human's fates and I am sure there is a person who experienced and felt things the protagonist felt, so I assure me I can be sad, for a person I've never known and never going to meet.

I've got more pictures on my...other computer that I can't have access to for the moment >< But I'll try to upload them later.
L&C 2369 lead #12 today from Richburg to the Chester Industrial park, seen here near Orrs, SC.
They had a fairly sizable train both ways, but made good time getting back to the NS interchange.

North Western geep 4206 takes a break from switching the quarry west of Downtown Elmhurst on a nice evening in August 1986.
Two former BN units still wearing green, a SD60M and a GP39E, do their switching in Joliet, IL with the L-CHI102.
Burlington Northern #240 is seen at Cicero yard switching intermodal cars on June 15th, 1987. I never was a big fan of the BN and didn't live close to it at all but my dad and I did wander around Chicago a lot so I did hit some spots.
BN SW1200 #240 was built by EMD as CB&Q #9282 in July of 1965. Loco may still be around dressed as BNSF 3509.
Towards the end of the switcher era on the TRRA, We see 4 of them dragging the Central Belt Job west.These trains are shorter now and the new geeps arent quite the same.This is at Florissant Road behind the now shuttered Hostess plant in North St. Louis. 11/19/2008

The BNSF's MLAWLAW1-29A, formerly the "North Local" delivered this ex-SP, ex-UP, now Northern Plains RR SD45T-2 to Hager City.
Reporting marks MRI 2846, it moved from the Northern Plains Railroad in Kenmare, ND to the BNSF who delivered it to the new grain shuttle loading facility at Hager City, WI.
A Lehigh Valley Rail Management crew brings a long cut of double stack cars into the River Yard for interchange to NS.
The train is led by a trio of EMD switchers:
LVRM 19 MP15DC (ex-CI/SB/PBNE 19)
LTEX 1517 SW1500 (ex-PC/CR 9556)
LVRM 1146 MP15DC (ex-CSXT 1146, LN 5036)
CPKC G95 with CMQ 3817 & CP 4509 for power is lifting a car from Total Fuel, one of two clients on the Lasalle Loop Spur. In the background are cars for the other client (Flesichmanns Yeast).
The peace at Bruton is temporarily shattered by Class 50 locomotive No. 50036 Victorious thundering past with the 08:01 Paignton - Paddington service on Thursday 31st August 1978. As I understand it, the signal box at Bruton was normally switched out of use with the signals pulled "off", as can be seen here, except during busy periods such as summer Saturdays. The signal box structure visible in this photograph is long gone, having been demolished when colour-light signalling was installed on this route, but I see from recent shots here on Flickr that two large signal box 'replicas', dating from 2012, have been erected in the vicinity of the station. Apparently they were built by the owner of a local business.
A well aged CN geep switches the American Chemical Service plant in Griffith, Indiana. This is on all former C&O of Indiana rails. The "J" took over this business once Chessie pulled out. ACS getting a switch seems to be a rarity these days. So, while out on a morning bike ride, I was more than happy to her them banging cars around over here. I headed right over. Shot with a Pentax 67 on Fuji Velvia 100F. All this...located right off of the Oak Savannah bike trail, for your foaming pleasure.
