I came back to Chicago to see old friends and to celebrate the anniversary party of some close friends. A lot of shenanigans ensued. It was the best time. Thank you to Erin and the Potters, Steph and Ryan, Gene and Kate, and everyone who helped make this weekend so very memorable!

These photos show work from the first weekend of Loop Track Renewal project, which began in April of 2012. The project will replace more than two miles of elevated rail and track components that were installed in the early 1980s and are nearing the end of their useful life.

Workers prepare a piece of rail to be removed from the track structure.

Aging wooden barriers and track ties are removed as part of track demolition, in advance of new track installation.

I took this picture between Oregon City and Canby one Fall morning a long time ago. Trains are one of my favorite subjects, but they are elusive, and happen past only when I am not with camera. Sometimes, I have to make due with taking pictures of just the tracks. On the fine morning in question, there was a sunrise in progress, so I got a little extra color out of it.

Uploaded sharper version 2/3/19. The original file was a bit small, so I may eventually have to rescan the slide. All these years later, I can say that I understand depth of field a bit better than when I took this.

walking the back way to the balloon fest, crossing the tracks.

It was not a busy day. These railroad tracks laid quitely on ballast, waiting for the next train. My original plan was to shoot the skyline of the city, but just as I turned around and looked down the bridge, I find serenity in this nerver-ending steel structure. Taken on Boylan Bridge in Raleigh, NC.

Photos from the 2007 Ginch Gonch Underwear Party 2007 at Tracks Nightclub.

One of several machines that followed the tie replacement along the NS tracks running past Piketon, Ohio. I shot this in the rain from across busy US 23.

The machine appears to fill in the holes where the ties were replaced. It reminds me of the mowers used along highways.
