For me these are not that common of a species. I usually see no more than a couple at a time, a couple times a year. This morning I found 6 on the Fraser River shooting through a gap in the trees along the shore.
Toothed belts /timing belts are available in different sizes even in loops (which sometimes can be of corrrect length for tinkering).
Captured this 737 on approach to 28L just as the sun gives its last blast of light before dropping below the westhills and coast range....
Can't resist putting this one on the flickR gallery!!
Jhelum blasts towards Vidisha with a superb looking GZB WAP-4 # 22623,this loco rammed into Mewar Express from behind,last year!!
Sorry for poor timing:-(
With perfect timing sunshine, A66 in its classic 1980s V/line paintjob awaits T356 to clear the points at Murchison East. It was here when T356 swapped with the A to lead back to Melbourne.

The timing for this was almost perfect, but these two actually crossed about a minute apart on the evening of Monday 31st March. GBRf's 66733 'Cambridge PSB' plods along the branch from MoD Kineton with 4C01, 19:21 Kineton - Carlisle Yard. By the time DB's 66148 'Maritime Intermodal Seven' flashed across the gap with 4E68 Southampton - Wakefield, the final wagons of the military train were disappearing around the corner into Fenny Compton.
The slow branch speed and long vista means a 'real' shot of 2 trains crossing like this isn't impossible. I'll keep trying, and hopefully won't have to rely on Photoshop next time!
NS G70/72 times a C102 on Old Main 3 as they prepare to cut away from part of their Industry Yard inbound cut at East Point, Georgia. NS GP38-2 5230 does the honors on the southbound move. January 2023
Good time at the fundraiser at Lagunitas Brewery. Cool place, but you can only take so much of the soundtrack from Willy Wonka before you say "peace out". Thanks to Holly - dear friend and she never has a problem when I say "I need to get a picture!"
The low angle of the sun in the winter months in Alaska creates some dramatic lighting. This was captured in Dutch Harbor Alaska just as the sun was setting in turn lighting the snow covered dormant volcano.
I caught the tail end of the event which only lasted a few minutes .
Afterglow of the sun giving nice colour to the sky, with the Milky Way over the lights of Hawker, South Australia. Tamron lens, processed in Lightroom.

Hows that for timing. A seagull caught perfectly above the mast of a solo sailboat returning home under power on a cold windy winter day on Tampa Bay.

NJ Transit's 40th Anniversary Express rolls to an unexpected stop on the six-track section of the Northeast Corridor in Linden. A mechanical issue caused only a brief delay but allowed gathered photographers to take as many photos as they wanted. The next stop will be South Amboy where the historic "engine change" from electric traction to diesel occurred in years past. NJT's remaining active pair of F40PHs would take over from there to Bay Head. The train is led by two NJT heritage units, one PRR and the other represents a scheme applied to NJ Transit E60s and ALP-44s in the 1980s-90s.
NJT 401:
NJTR 4636 ALP-46A
NJTR 4640 ALP-46A
The presence of NS 4001 on the head end of 62V seemed to bring out hoards of photographers on this cloudy Saturday afternoon. Of course the clouds started to dissipate as the train approached, and the position I chose had me facing directly into the previously obscured sun. Seconds after the head end passed I was blinded by brilliant sunshine.

NS 4001 AC44C6M
I surprised myself with this one! I was trying to sneak up on a Bald Eagle through the crunchy snow. No easy task. He heard me coming and leapt from his perch. I followed him through the trees and snapped quick when I saw an opening. I really thought I missed the shot but lo and behold I got it! LOL! Pretty fast for an old guy!
The RS80 glows blue under the flood lights of Johnson Avenue yard, traversing Jamaica station on its way to Coastal Distribution in Farmingdale. What can only be described as impeccable timing made this shot possible, with the M9 on the left being my train home. A second after grabbing this shot, the doors would close behind me and I'd be leaving the 80 behind on the way back to Long Island.
Salt print on Hahnemühle Platinum Rag 8x10".
Salted with 0,8% gelatin, 1,8% sodium citrate and 2,0% sodium chloride.
Sensitized with 10 % silver nitrate.
Digital negative with Easy Digital Negatives (Peter Mrhar) gradient map, exposed for 9,5 min in UV-box.
Cleared in citric acid/seasalt, fixed in hypo and rinsed in HCA.
If alternative/historic photographic processes need patience, so does water drop photography...
Better than before calibrating with HPR, but still haven't found that "oomph" contrast with salt prints. To be continued. :-)
Cootes RL302,C503 are about to enter Spencer Junction yard at Port Augusta with a loaded sleeper train from Whyalla bound for Bookaloo after the locos run around.
In the background are Pacific Nationals NR36,AN11 departing Spencer Junction yard on 1MP2 on 6-10-08
Perfect timing! I was taking shots at another angle away from the sun when this helicopter flew through. I didn't have time to change my camera settings, so I just pointed and clicked.
If you want to be afraid, just be afraid
If you want to go back home, just go back home
If you want to comb your hair, just comb your hair
If you want to be alone, just be alone
If you want to watch the sea, just watch the sea
But do it now, timing is the answer
Do it now, timing is the answer to success
If you want to give a kiss, just give a kiss
If you want to fall in love, just fall in love
If you want to never know, just never know
If you want to throw a fit, just throw a fit
If you want to give a show, just give a show
But do it now, timing is the answer... to success
I suppose
And if you want to weoh, weoh!
Just weoh, weoh hoh!
If you want to tralala!
Just tralala!
If you want to booh hooh!
Just booh hooh hooh!
And if you want to salama, salama
Just salama, salama!
But do it now, don’t doubt
Timing is the answer...
And if you don’t know where to go
And if you don’t know what to say
And if you don’t know what to do
Just do it now
Timing is the answer...

Got lucky in catching CN nos.2520 & 2632 rolling across the Monte Lake trestle with a southbound load of empties.
CSX Train NM-1 finishes the day at Lincoln. During the day, the crew took the CSX geo train to Mattawamkeag from NMJ, before timing out on the return trip. Since Mattawamkeag lacks a wye to turn the train, MEC GP40-LW 509 lead east and then hauled the train back west.

Louis showing great skills at the scooter park. He was kind enough to perform for the camera and gave some great photos.
In the very last few seconds of daylight, fresh BNSF and CP power lead SLRG 101 and newly painted/wrapped Iowa Pacific coaches southward on the Belt Railway of Chicago near Lake Street. The Iowa Pacific equipment is heading from Bensenville to work Indiana Transportation Museum's Santa Trains between Logansport and Peru. This vista is courtesy of the demolition of the Brach's candy factory, which stood where the huge gravel lot currently is.
