CN 7229 & CN 4700 do some switching in the Pointe St-Charles Yard six years ago today. The dwarf signals at right are on the connecting tracks of the Montreal Sub. Surprisingly they have still not been replaced at present.
An abandoned papermill virtually untouched by vandalism or graffiti. Not sure about the whole history but it dates back to the 1920s/30s.

This has been finished for a while now, but I didn't photograph it properly.
The engine is controlled by an SBrick and contains a remote decoupler.
It has been about 30 years since I last heard that sweet sound that the U18's produced when under load and switching. The Pickens has long been on the list of roads to shot but no more as in the 1.5 days we spent there we were able to photograph both locals and the Belton Local unit was properly pointed to boot. Here the Anderson job has just departed the NS interchange and will go back up into the industrial parks providing the customers with an afternoon switch.
The ICTF switcher pulls a string of double stacks at the north end of Dolores Yard. These SD60Ms were primarily in yard and local service by this point. Most would be off roster within a few years. Today, a large fence spoils most of the photo opportunities here.
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.
Chicago & North Western GP9R #4544 is switching stored cars at the former CGW Ingalton Yard in 1985.
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.

Been Android my whole life, should I switch to iPhone next upgrade?

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.

310068 enters London Euston with a local service on 8th August on 1984. Introduced in 1963, these Derby built AM10s were the mainstay of fast electric services in the Midlands and London lasted just into the new century, the last sets being withdrawn in 2002.
There appears to be a huge number of switch diamonds in this part of the station throat at Euston.

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.
Right off of NS's Moorman Yard, Bunge's little switcher shoves back into their own yard at their grain elevator and oilseed refinery in Bellevue.

Working the Northend of Norfolk Southern's Whitaker Intermodal Facility, NS G95 uses the UP 1989 (D&RGW) heritage unit for for switching.
I have switched around his colours and design a fair bit. Instead of the classic pumpkin throwing crazed Goblin this one is more stable, using his Pumpkin Launcher to blast his foes into ashes rather than throwing them in his comical manner.
Tell me what y'all think! My version of his Backstory is below!
LC Verse Spider-Man
Goblin - Charlie Weiderman
- After being terrorised by a group of bully football players at Midtown High and being hospitalised Charlie Weiderman attempted suicide, that is until Norman Osborn approached the injured Charlie about an "enhancing serum" which was guaranteed to give Olympic athlete strength, agility and durability. Once healed Charlie arrived at OSCORP to test the serum, once Charlie Ingested the serum his skin began to change colour and his features became disfigured resembling a Goblin. Charlie didn't care about his appearance as long as he got revenge on the bullies which tormented him all those years. Norman was shocked by Charlie's positive outlook to this but didn't question him. Nicknaming himself "Goblin" Charlie engineered a home made pumpkin bomb to blow up the high school only to be stopped by Spider-Man who clogged up the pumpkin with his webbing, causing the pumpkin explode in his hand therefore blowing off his arm. He was then retrieved by Norman Osborn before police officials arrived and given a replacement robotic arm using his state of the art tech.
