This picture brings back memories but not of a good type. Back in the seventies through the eighties before I could afford a car I use to work in some bad parts of the city and often going home at late hours sometime waiting for a late night train that comes only once a hour in deserted quite stations like this being on a constant guard for, rowdy drunks gang bangers and crazies back when there were no electronic signs to tell you when the next train was coming and then you would the hear the raucous screams of a group belligerent trouble makers entering the station and having to decide what to do next. Not fun times.

The first time I stumbled across this scene while out walking I only had my telephoto and macro lenses, neither of which were suitable and although calm the light wasn't great. I did think at the time it is a scene with potential and I should come back better equipped
The second time was bright and sunny but windy too so no reflections.
Then last night while checking the forecast (wondering when I could cut the lawn) I became distracted by sunrise and sunset times and directions and realised this scene might be OK for a sunrise shoot on Monday morning.
Bearing in mind I had a full day's work ahead it was a struggle to get out of bed at 04:30 but I am rather glad I made the effort. I was home, had breakfast and switched the work computer on by 07:30!
Those of you with experience of the Highlands will know that we pay the price fo calm conditions during the summer months and that price is the pesky midge. I had a double dose of repellent spray plus a midge net and I needed it!
I took a picture of lovely Emma and Cris taking a picture. Now that i see they've both uploaded theirs, i thought it 'd be fun to join in with a third perspective while trying out a few new things.

P.s. Nip nops reluctantly covered
Still have our milk delivered and the diversity of bottles all very obvious here.
Just a bit of fun!

For the third time that week, AMTK 108 is leading a requalification run for the Adirondack, which has still not resumed service after covid disruptions (news articles are mentioning a resumption of service in the spring). Here it is backing up towards Central Station, with the right of way for the REM light rail line above at left.
Sorry I've been out of action for so long, but getting mobile and better has been at the foremost. Plus my poor brain has become addled from not being able to get out and about. Or not unless I'm taken somewhere and then I may not have got my camera too. :(
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.

Before the third Queensferry crossing was built.
I spent some time berthed in Rosyth back 2013, a 30sec LE looking back down the Forth towards the then 2 bridges.
After frequent prodding by Garshna to check out Burroughs 3, I decided the hottest day of the year was the best time to set off on the driest, most exposed trail I've ever hiked.... :-) Karen Sykes called it a thigh burner and she was right. It's only nine miles out and back, but you have to climb Burroughs 2 twice with an elevation gain of 2,600 feet. On my way back a guy asked me if it was worth the hike since the view was so amazing from 2 already, I laughed, hesitated for just a moment because I'd already decided that I'm not going back unless my daughter makes me, but yes. If you can get there you simply must, the last bit is steep as heck and dang Burroughs 2 is between you and the parking lot, but the views are astounding...oh and if you wear shorts, put the sunblock on your legs too.... :-)
I hesitate to say 'blow it up' because it is a volcano so.... enlarge it and step into my little world. :-)
Bogaczewo is one of the coolest stations in the general proximity of Gdańsk, when you only count in those, where there actually is regular traffic. All that thanks to the array of semaphores at the entrance from the direction of Pasłęk/Braniewo. The impressive 10 meter tall structures with 5 meter distant signals (a huuge rarity nowadays!) provide an interesting background for any picture taken here.
This picture of the EP07-365 with the IC 58106 "Gryf" on hook was taken exactly from the place where the old broad gauge track from Kaliningrad used to run. The line terminated in Bogaczewo and was partially dismantled in the 1990s and 2000s. Now the broad gauge only reaches to Chruściel. A nice reminder of the old 1520mm line was a third semaphore signal, which would be sitting to the left of the frame. As opposed to the ones currently standing, the third signal was noticeably smaller with a height of 8 meters. It was dismantled around the year 2020.

Reflecting water ways, and silhouetted cross bucks fill a third of the photo, an SCFE east side empty cane train filling the other two thirds, gets up to speed with GP11 303. I thought he was heading for Moorehaven but when he turned south instead of north it was a beat feet and speed moment out of town to get a great sunset outside of town. The SCFE has a small number of load outs east of Clewiston compared somewhere around 15-20 loadouts on the USSC, so catching these guys going east took me by surprise but during cane season, the trains almost never stop.
Le QG 501 négocie la courbe appelée "Breslay", à l'est de la gare du Parc, alors qu'il est en route vers le triage Saint-Luc du CPKC avec un bon train. À droite, l’ancien portique, où étaient présents des signaux de type « searchlight » jusqu’à la démolition du triage d’Outremont, témoigne de l’existence d’une troisième voie évidemment retirée au début du siècle.
QG train 501 negotiates the curve called "Breslay", east of EXO Parc station, while enroute to the CPKC Saint-Luc yard with a good train. On the right, the old signal bridge structure, where “searchlight” signals were present until the demolition of the Outremont yard, testifies to the existence of a third track obviously removed at the beginning of the century.
The third train of the morning put on less of a show since it wasn't crusing through at track speed over the century mark. Wickford Junction bound Keolis/MBTA train 809 is slowing for their station stop as they approach MP 197 on Track 3 of Amtrak's New Haven Line behind utilitarian MPI HSP46 2011.
At the right center edge in the background, partially obscured by the catenary poles and signal for BORO interlocking, is the old wooden tower that was known as SS165 in NH days. Allegedly constructed in 1898, it was relocated here when the NH undertook their massive grade separation project through town and built their two new stations between 1903 and 1906.
This tower also holds the distinction of being the last in service on the corridor in MA, not closing down until 1993. Amazingly it survives a quarter century later despite regular reports of its imminent demise.
At left stands the brick Second Congregational Church that was constructed in 1904 on Park Street looking over this scene. The congregation dates from 1748 and is a daughter church of the First Congregational Church in the old town section of North Attleborough. This is actually the third structure in which congregants have gathered. Originally located in a meeting house on what is now the common, Second Congregational had a stately white clapboard building built in 1825 which was removed in the early 1950s to make way for the addition of a new Fellowship Hall and education rooms. The clock in the tower of this third building was owned originally by the city but now belongs to the church and surprisingly seems to be keeping perfect time.

Once again the Fast 5 were unsuccessful in their hunting this day. I often thought as I watch these many failed chases that all the vehicles moving around the animals affected their hunting success.
Masai Mara
No shelter here for man or beast where the animals and their handlers share the same harsh conditions under the desert sun. This was the scene at the desolate passing loop of Tmeimitschatt where the loco was shunting a mixed consist of wagons, perhaps unusual as an iron ore train had derailed some kilometres to the west blocking the line.
I couldn’t determine which direction the train was headed, but I guess most of the livestock only had a one-way ticket.
