UP 4842 and another SD70M lead a PTC test train consist, SPRPAP 12, southbound towards Villa Grove with 28 empty ballast cars in tow. This train was not testing the Villa Grove or Pana Subdivisions at this time.
Metra MPI MP36PH-3S 402 was out and about on a joy ride shortly after delivery. It was passing the Stone Avenue stop on the BNSF Chicago Subdivision in 2003.
BNSF wasn't impressed with these things and Metra eventually reassigned them to other lines.

Checking out a new (to me!) lens: a Canon EM 18-150 before it was put back in its box to be wrapped up for Christmas!
I like to travel light and my current (& significantly heavier) Canon ES 28-105 needs a Viltrox adapter to fit the M50 making it a tad cumbersome & front heavy.
Hand-held at full zoom.

MBTA Genset 3249 leads Mass Coastal train MC-1 south at Sagamore, MA while undergoing testing after receiving work from MPI.
I wasn't having luck with this lens through my window.... today since the temperature is almost 80 degrees.... I opened the window.... what a difference!!
Moral of my story.... I need to wash my windows!!!
A BNSF rack train runs north through the approach to the Eads bridge and up Terminal Railroad's high-line at an obvious location.
Sucky, washed out colors courtesy of about a million western wildfires that have made St. Louis and just about the entire continental US appear to have a permanent overcast. I'll have to try this again when blue skies are back, probably after the election.

Minette est décédée, nous l'avons accompagné tout au long de sa dernière piqure en la regardant dans les yeux et en la caressant jusqu'à son dernier souffle. Nous faisons beaucoup de photos de nos animaux domestiques car ils sont toujours présents à côté de nous et par amour. Elle a été mon modèle pour tous mes tests d'objectifs et d'appareils photos, elle ne disait rien, et jouait le jeu et tous ses câlins qui vont me manquer. Elle avait 17 ans. Merci !
March has been good for passenger train aficionados on Union Pacific's Moffat Tunnel Subdivision west of Denver, Colorado. In addition to the regular Amtrak CALIFORNIA ZEPHYRS, the Winter Park Express Ski train still has one more series of runs (March 27-31), and then this morning, the Rocky Mountaineer was making a test run to Salt Lake City. Regular RM service to Moab begins April 9.
The 8-car train is shown at Tolland, Colorado, about 47 rail miles west of Denver. March 26, 2025.
Here's 901 again in June with her three cubs at the time. Fat Bear Week is happening now so be sure to vote. Link below in the comments.
Test-Posting two digital photos, as I got locked out of my Flickr Account for inactivity. Checking for a smooth transition come January 2025.

Bella, cautiously testing the chair only days after I adopted her. The chair had been empty for a few months, Bella needed a new home & I needed a cat. Now, she “knows” the chair belongs to her, though I’m usually allowed to share it!

Testing out something a little more artistic for a Milky Way shot, choosing selective colors for what I think are the interesting aspects of a given MW shot. For this shot I thought the intense green airglow and new spring vegetation growth combined with the aurora from the Memorial Day weekend storm were "highlights" of the shot. I also decided to selectively color the Rho Ophiuchi complex, North American Nebula, and Sadr region. Thoughts?
