A recreation of a GN local from the 1950s was operated for Railfan Weekend on the North Shore Scenic Railroad in 1999. This view is at Mud Cut just west of Two Harbors.
All the way back to 2012. One of those shots that never got posted, but should have.
Funny how seeing a really old shot like this puts you right back there, when you took the shot.

Since seeing @crr200's shot of the Southern Crescent (flic.kr/p/jFKSp9) at this location from nearly 40 years ago, I've made it a go-to spot for morning southbounds. Until this train, I had yet to shoot the modern Crescent here, but I finally did upon learning about the Phase I heritage unit leading the Crescent. A brief delay and good dispatching worked to my advantage as Amtrak 19 winds through the curves at Red Lane just after sunrise.
A now abolished Q194 races north into Bogart, GA in the waning hours of the afternoon. CSX's Abbeville Subdivision between Atlanta and Greenwood, SC at the time saw around 16-20 trains per day. Now, PSR has cut that number to around 10-12.
CP 281 is lead by a pair of the INRDs, where once again in Wisconsin at the head of autorack express.

While watching the Superbowl this afternoon, I reworked some of the old photos I took with Topaz JPEG to RAW AI. Just like these slow moving rocks, it 's a slow day today. Also this is one of the most bizarre places I have been to. These slow moving rocks are far more exciting than the Superbowl.

From a decade ago. A westbound goes through the interlocking at East End Miller City. Sadly the classic NKP signals are now gone.
A family wedding on my mothers side. My mum is the little girl. Taken around the late 1920's.

This photo was taken with my first digital camera almost 11 years ago (I was the youthful age of 14) when my family traveled out west. I can't remember if this is in Yellowstone or Glacier National Park. Might have been the Tetons or Jackson Hole? Does this look familiar to anyone?
Restored Southern Railway SD40 No. 3170 sits tied down along with 3 standard Norfolk Southern SD40-2s at the 105 year old Gainesville depot after completing work on P48.
When 403 is leading a train of veteran DM&IR cars it is fun to pick a spot to "hide" the trailing CN painted power. Here 403 leads a load of Minntac (U711) pellets south between Coons and Munger. This could have been a shot before 2004, if not for a tiny hint of CN red visible through the cab.

I remember we dozed off to sleep just after sunset in our sleeping bunk after watching the beautiful scene outside for hours. The total journey took us 48 hours from Lhasa to Beijing on this train.
A rather forlorn looking, no longer loved, Volvo 164 sitting in a Phinney Ridge neighborhood alley.

Wrapped for telecommunications company Telus at the time, VIA 6429 leads an eastbound departing Dorval Station back in 2007. In the foreground is the CN/CP interchange track, which was removed a few years later. The signals on the right were replaced by more modern ones a few years back.
morning routine at old Fürth Main Fire Station - about 2 month ago this station was vacated for a brand new fire station
The sun poked through for a bit onto Wheeling & Lake Erie "heritage" unit GP35 #108 as it leads three more GP35's and train 701 along RT43 north of Hibbetts, OH.
Today as I perused files nothing caught my eye for fence fFriday--but I had recently found this while going through boxes of old photos brought home last spring after cleaning out the farm house. This is me, about 2 1/2, along with my brother, climbing a fence on our family's farm. Hff and happy weekend, everyone.

Another spectacular and truly “typical Mongolia” location visited during our summer tours is the wide grassland and steppe of the Bayan and Khoolt Passes. With countless photo angles, curves, gradients, and an impressive variety of trains, this area is a true paradise for railfans... especially diesel traction lovers ;)

I have moved from the area about 2 and a half years prior to this shot, but returned on this snow-less January day to my favorite spot in Onieda, NY to watch the Water Level route action of Conrail. This overhead bridge was farthest to the east. It was quiet with traffic and gave a great vantage point of approaching westbounds, like this one in the photo. Even the third track would still get some use to pass trains here during the 80's. It was also location of my very first publication. Audio Visual Designs, a railroad postcard producer, paid me $10 and 25 copies for a one time use of a shot of 4 shiny GP40-2's in 1977 on a trailer train in the same spot as this one. I was thirteen at that time.
BN 10720 hitches a ride on a MoW move from Trinidad to La Junta. Five cars picked up from Jansen along with an SD40 and GP39 make up today's consist.
In Perth, I found a tobacconist/sweet shop just like you used to find when I was a child. I thought they were all gone...
Yeah, not much story this time. Just an old LDD Kirby I made a long time ago. I just thought I'd upload it because of all the Smash hype lately. (Also, totallyawesome_me just posted his Kirby figs and that reminded me of this.)
Okay, that's all for this post. See you around. And don't forget...
...Kirby sucks. xP
