i decided to add queen anne's lace to my wildflower garden. so i took a bucket and shovel to the nearest railroad. (isn't it interesting how this flower grows around all train tracks?). as i put shovel to ground, an older man walked toward me.
him: what are you doing?
me: digging up queen anne's lace for my garden.
him: you can't do that!
me: oh, is there an ordinance against this?
him: no, but that thing is a weed. you don't want it. it'll grow up all over your yard.
me: well, i think it's pretty.
him: fine, do whatever you want.
i think human perceptions are interesting. what's a flower versus a weed? what is beauty? what is kindness? we hold many different views. each day i see or learn something new.
The 1880 Train is an attraction in Hill City, South Dakota. The train carries passengers on a 2 hour narrated ride between Hill City and Keystone. The train operates three steam and two diesel locomotives. It is called the 1880 train because it follows the original route of the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad laid down in the 1880's which serviced mines and mills between Hill City and Keystone.

train station in lower austria in the early morning.
shooting conditions:
foggy autumn, about 6:00am (twilight, sunlight starts at ~7:00am), shot was started when the train was entering the station and continued way after all movement has stopped (30 seconds exposure total).
result: light of the locomotive trailing trough the picture (from the movement in the first half of the exposure) while still getting a sharp look at the wagon (second half of the exposure).
also the person to the left turned into a ghost because he waited motionless till the train came to a standstill and moved then to enter the train.

Corinth Mississippi was originally named Cross City. Two major North/South and East/West railroads and national highways cross in the city. The train station was constructed at the junction of the two railroads and built to accommodate both passengers and freight from either rail line. The station now houses a museum.
A slow moving thunderstorm dumping heavy rain and hail trundles northeast in the background as a BNSF empty sand train rolls through the siding at Broomfield, Colorado where they will wait to go into Denver on May 18, 2018.

Following the annual CSX Santa Train has become one of my favorite railfan traditions. The weather is often not the best but it is such a cool operation and it's great to see and meet many of the internet names from Flickr and FB. This year CSX timed one of the first runs of it's latest mullet heritage unit with leading the Santa Train. And engineer Scott 'Scooter' Steffey timed his last run before retirement with running this year's train. What a way to go out. He appeared to be having a great time often playing the best rendition of Jingle Bells that a GEVO horn can make. Here the train is pulling into Elkhorn City, KY at 7:01 AM for it's first stop on the former Clinchfield. Sunrise on the date would have been at 7:17 on this cloudy day. So it was quite dark taking this shot. I've often said that these modern cameras see better in the dark than I do and this shot proves it. Other than blowing out the headlight (I have to get wider), I'm pretty happy with it.

While Alaska's 130S is hugging Healy Canyon we are hugging the side of the bridge on Parks Highway hoping to not get hit by the trucks or the angry locals. 10 out of 10 may or may not try this again.

Fortunately, I was going to Hammersmith.

This time, i took a little train to go to Wieliczka. 20 minutes of a quiet journey. Before to visit the Salt Mine, that i know very well now ;)
This is an image of the rail carriage I took to Ennis from Sixmilebridge this morning. (The photo is strongly influenced by the work of my contact Tim El Marinero.) I'm always keeping an eye out in case contact and train driver Dermot Mullane is at the helm, but not today!
I started taking the train to work last year but late last summer I ended up back in the car again. However, given that the citizenry have been saddled with bailing out the Irish Banks by our incompetent government (don't get me started), the price of petrol and the cost of parking have increased significantly. Getting back on Irish Rail is a no-brainer really. I'm lucky to have access to it on my doorstep.

Around Flagstaff Arizona, the BNSF train tracks are always busy. I like to look for interesting places to take photos of trains, then wait. Never have to wait too long.
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here no there
Casablanca.........it was an eventful 24 hours, i will never forget.
in the event of looking for a cafe to get some rest and get some food, i was held under a knife point.
the story goes... i had my backpack (my new camera bag) in front of me, like carry it backward. it was a pretty big bag so it basically came up to my chin. i rested my arms on top of the bag my right hand is holding my little baby Ricoh.
A 6'-0" + tall man came up to me and try to take my Ricoh and point a knife at me. Lucky i did not get hurt, my Ricoh is also safe with me. i might be just lucky, or people around me was nice enough to help me out by telling the guy to leave us alone. in any case even now i can't imagine what he could have done to me with his knife.
the next morning we decided to leave Casablanca because we were little uncomfortable and beside there is really nothing there to see. ... Remember even the famous movie "Casablanca" did not even film here.
We headed to the train station early in the morning, an elderly woman who pretended to help us, while we don't need any help, she tried to take our ticket away by telling us we were in the wrong class.
Was it because it was 2 Asian females traveling, or am i being careless. Or do i have to say i need a "boy" after all.
btw, my first meal in Morocco was in the Hyatt Hotel, the safest place and the closest place we found.
