Arkansas and Missouri train SFLO is doing a bit of switching at the siding known as Johnson Switch ad they work their way south from Springdale to Fayetteville. This job was on duty at 11 AM with a pair of classic Alco C420s, numbers 56 and 57 both built for the Lehigh and Hudson River Railroad in Dec. 1965 as their numbers 25 and 26 respectively. They are seen here working just north of the Main Street crossing near MP 347.7 (measured from the Frisco's historic corporate headquarters city of St. Louis) in this once small down that is now a suburb of booming Fayetteville.

After arriving from the CN interchange at Joffre Yard with a dozen cars, the Sartigan is switching Logibel, an important client of this growing shortline.
After switching at the east end of town for a while the 9011 and 9014 shove into the west end of the yard to start the remainder of their work before shoving into the clear for the Maine Northern to pass by. What was supposed to be a short wait for the Maine Northern would turn out to be over a 2 hour wait which gave me a lot of time to do some time exposures and chat with the crew.
A pair of Geeps shove a cut of scrap gons into Tri Coastal Trading in east Houston. The scrap will be loaded into barges on Buffalo Bayou on the opposite side of the facility.

St. Maries River Railroad’s turn to Plummer interchanges its train to Union Pacific at Plummer, Idaho, on September 27, 2021. It’s pretty obvious where STMA’s former Milwaukee Road Pacific Extension main line ends, viewing the trackage at the foot of Poleyard Road in Plummer. The train is on the former siding and is backing its cars past a crossover switch for the UP to pick up. On the right is the former main line that now butts up to a mound of dirt, and contains the empties that STMA will pick up and take back to St. Maries. To the west, an abandoned roadbed lies empty and trainless, until it reaches Warden, Washington, where Columbia Basin Railroad operates former Milwaukee main line trackage between Warden and Othello.
The Conrail Norwich local with EMD SW 9023 passes by a dead NW-2 at the Norwich, NY yard.
Conrail assigned the "pups" to the job in the early 80's. Constant mechanical problems due to the little engines running over the road at speed for up to 100 miles a day arose. When one would die, Conrail would just taxi the crew to Binghamton to fetch another one, like as seen in this photo. The crews thought it was a ploy to drive business off the branch. When things like this happened, service deteriorated.
6002 is an SD40T-2, originally built for the Southern Pacific. Seen here switching at Guardian with several other Lancaster and Chester units.

LA FIAMMELLA CHE SCALDA L'ANIMA.
Il voto religioso consiste in una promessa solennemente formulata, che si basa sul tenere un certo comportamento o meno a favore della divinità.
Una promessa permette l’instaurarsi di un rapporto intimo tra il fedele e la divinità. Accendere una luce in segno di questo legame è consuetudine oramai entrata nella pratica di moltissime professioni di fede.
Nella religione cristiana il voto è un atto di culto a Dio, è l’espressione della volontà umana di far ingresso nel mondo spirituale. Questo ingresso è generalmente accompagnato dall’accensione di una luce.
La candela utilizzata in campo ecclesiale ha una forte valenza simbolica, essa indica la fusione, il punto d’incontro tra la materia e lo spirito. Non è un caso che nella maggioranza delle chiese cristiane lumini e piccoli ceri, (oltre alle candele utilizzate sull’altare, di fronte al santissimo o nelle sacre celebrazioni, che appartengono alle espressioni ufficiali), facciano luce ai piedi delle statue dei santi o di fronte alle espressioni marmoree di Maria e Gesù. Accendere una candela di fronte ad un’ immagine sacra è un pò come dire “io ci sono”, “io ti sto parlando”, “io ti sono devoto”.

THE FLAME THAT WARM THE SOUL.
The religious vow consists of a solemnly formulated promise, which is based on having a certain behavior or not in favor of the divinity.
A promise allows the establishment of an intimate relationship between the faithful and the divinity. Turning on a light as a sign of this bond is now customary in the practice of many professions of faith.
In the Christian religion, the vow is an act of worship to God, it is the expression of the human will to enter the spiritual world. This entrance is generally accompanied by the switching on of a light.
The candle used in the ecclesial field has a strong symbolic value, it indicates the fusion, the meeting point between matter and spirit. It is no coincidence that in the majority of Christian churches, small candles and candles, (in addition to the candles used on the altar, in front of the most holy or in sacred celebrations, which belong to official expressions), shed light at the feet of the statues of the saints or of facing the marble expressions of Mary and Jesus. Lighting a candle in front of a sacred image is a bit like saying "I am here", "I am talking to you", "I am devoted to you".

Connecticut Southern train CSO-3 switches a customer in East Hartford, CT on the South Windsor Branch. East Hartford was the former location of the Railroads office and shop, but that has changed with the construction of a complex in Hartford just across the river.
Stave Lake Powerhouse, supplied power for many years, the area quickly outgrew it.

I have learned so much about processing images since this was taken! All I did really is change blend modes though!
\I rarely take HDR any more as my camera now has so much latitude. Ten GB before to 36 GB now!
It was an 9 image HDR, it was plenty garish!
The Landisville Railroad's SW900M prepares to gather outbound cars for the NS interchange a couple of miles to the north. Despite the Chessie-inspired livery, this is a former Lehigh Valley engine by way of Conrail. Taken on railroad property with permission and escort.
It was still very early in the morning when I found two young roe deer bucks at the Veluwwezoom last week. I had switched off the car and let it roll downhill, so they hadn't noticed me at all and went on with what they were doing: Playing!!!
It was such a delight to watch.. They were chasing each other with amazing speed through the dry heather bushes. They obviously had such fun and I swear I saw a smile on this one's face! :-)
