New toy. Along with lockdown, partially responsible for the reduction in my photographic output. A handheld shot in poor light.
Etta (& Kahn like grass but somehow it hasn't thrived with them on it! The black plastic mat is intended for cars to drive on while letting grass grow through :I
Daily Dog Challenge: Temporary
Due to a group of VRS geeps being temporarily OOS for painting the Vermont Railway has been using ancient Green Mountain Railroad Alco RS1 405 for daily freight service on the Bellows Falls switcher assignment (train DASW). Normally this unit only sees service on the VRS' passenger excursion trains and perhaps use on revenue freights once or twice a year at most. So any time she's used for revenue service is special, and I'm hard pressed to think of anywhere else in the country an RS1 is used to haul freight anymore. For these reasons, any time she is out and I can swing it I make the nearly 3 hr trip north to see her.
What is even more special is that this unit is very much on home rails having been built for the Rutland in November 1951. So that means she is approaching her 71st birthday in a few months and has never left the Green Mountain state!
Here is the ancient veteran at MP B2.5 on modern day VRS' Falls Running Track of the Bellows Falls Subdivision which is the original Rutland Railway Green Mountain mainline. She is lugging more than 30 cars and the dead VTR 207 (headed to the North Walpole paint booth) down track 1 as she assists with yarding train 263 which just arrived from Rutland in this view looking west from the Riverside Road crossing.

Was experimenting with the Arista Ultra 100, since I had some (major) film defects the last time I used the 120 format. Went out in a early AM toward a local trail, and thematically tried to include shadows and reflections as much as I could. Using semistand development, there were definitely film defects around, which I guess is the price one pays for using budget film. While it can be corrected in post, usually I'm not a big fan of it. I still like the tonality of Ultra, and the price, but may have to transition toward a higher price point film to avoid said issues. Thanks for all those flickerans who continue to inspire - you really do help all of us keep trying!

Critique is welcomed.
Thank you all very much for your visits, favs and comments.
Temporary Waterfall. The waterfall formed during a rain shower and was gone 15 minutes after it stopped.
I ordered these then I saw Ewok Masters awesome elite so I will be ordering parts for those elites next :D
Credit goes to Saber Scorpion for the design of the elites shown in this picture.
Decal designs that are on the white elite are not Saber Scorps, I found them on mocpages.
VWH2098 LK15CWW seen at Finchley Central working on route N20 towards Barnet Church and then Barnet Hospital.
At a driver's request, the route is temporarily extended to Barnet Hospital to transport any hospital workers using the route overnight. The slipboard regarding the extension is noted on the front window.

I was only going to take a couple of days off Flickr, as I was out both days, with little time at home.
Then, an unprecedented heatwave struck. I've never experienced anything like it. Our thermometer in the back yard recorded 41C (106F) in the shade on Monday. As we were unprepared for it, when it hit, all the stores sold out their AC units immediately. Our place was sooo hot, but stepping outside, was like going into a sauna, and I could only do it for a few minutes at a time. Over 100 people have died in the past few days from the heat, something that is just so sad. The air outside is filled with smog and small particles of ozone. I was constantly spraying myself with water and sitting in front of a fan, that actually just blew warm air around. I couldn't sit in my computer room for more than a few minutes.
Today it looks like it's breaking - I feel cooler air coming in the window this morning.
We ordered an AC unit, but won't get it for a couple of weeks.
Scientists say that this will become the norm as climate change continues. Pretty scary....
Theme: Out of my comfort zone
I took this with my newest vintage lens: Meyer-Optic Gorlitz Oreston 50mm f1.8.
Nothing better than getting lost in the woods on a foggy day, looking for a particular composition. Early autumn that already gives me satisfaction, waiting for the most beautiful colors of the year.
the snow-wave reformed in this morning’s snow and wind — but now conditions are turning to rain and it will soon be wilting again
This waterfall is dry most of the year. But after getting more than 3 inches of rain just the day before, it was flowing nicely.
Last August the vital Rheintalbahn between Karlsruhe and Basel was closed for two weeks in order to connect a long delayed segment of a new bypass around the city of Rastatt. In 2017 during the construction of said bypass, a tunnel under the existing mainline caved in closing the line for several weeks as railway undertakings scrambled to reroute their trains on poorly suited bypass routes, often with diesel power. For this planned closure, many lessons from the 2017 incident were taken into account and alternative routes were set up for freight. The most interesting diversion was via the French left Rhine railway via the border station in Lauterbourg. The line, while double track on the French side, is only used for relatively sparse commuter services and sees only a small amount of local freight. During the Rastatt closure, months of planning and preparation allowed for approximately approximately 10 trains a day to use the corridor. The trains were organized by a group of Swiss rail undertakings, with locomotives largely from SNCF Fret. Each train operated with both a German and French speaking driver, allowing for operation without crew changes at the borders.
For photographers the most interesting location was by far the station at Lauterbourg which is still controlled by mechanical semaphore signals. After a quick stop, BB 75000 475124 departs Lauterbourg with a SBB 482 in tow.
