I'm always happy to shoot any sort of non-Armour Yellow power leading down the UP Kansas Sub, and when I heard from a few people about this pair of CSX units headed my way, I was happy to go out for them. Here, the CSX 55 (in YN2, no less!) and 5227 are leading the SESAM-11 by Calhoun Bluffs on the northeast side of Topeka.
Given the "S" symbol, this was an empty windmill flat train that was headed to Amarillo, TX. However, PSR dropped this group of hoppers bound for Optima, OK onto the head end, making it look like a very different train.

Almost all my photos are geotagged !!!
About
Modern day windmills at the border of the 'Albertkanaal', just after the lock at Tessenderlo.
The shot
Standard 3 exposures HDR [-2,0,+2EV] in RAW/ISO100 at f/13 using the Sigma 10-20mm lens, on a tripod.
Photomatix
Tonemapped using the detail enhancer.
After that created a single shot HDR of the 0EV shot with the same parameters.
Photoshop
° Blended the 0EV shot ( see previous step ) into this normal HDR to correct the movement of
the windmill blades.
° Shadows&Highlights.
° Curves.
° Color balance towards red and yellow to emphasize the golden hour colours.
° Manual dodging of the highlight and saturation sponging on the water.
° Noise reduction in the sky.
° High pass sharpening ( See here for description )
with the inverse mask of the previous step, to not sharpen the sky.

Community-owned wind farms are common across Germany, where wind power has gained very high social acceptance.

I took the picture out of the window at the hotel The Westin in Leipzig.

Wind turbines, east of Tehachapi, California
Photographed from east-bound California State Route 58 (SR 58), en route from Tehachapi to Mojave.
How Hill lies on the River Ant and is a large parkland walk area by the river within the Broads National Park. The riverside is dominated by the Turf Fen windmill, built originally in 1875 to drain the nearby marshes into the river.
In the foreground turbines at Gunfleet Sands and in the background, the London Array. Taken from Lee over Sands, St Osyth, essex.

This was taken at a rest stop on I-35 in southern Oklahoma earlier in the Fall. They are blades for the giant windmill power generators that have popped up all over that area. I see these sometimes on trains passing through Austin, but had not seen them on trucks. I guess this is the final leg of the journey.
The annual trip to East Yorkshire and the Bempton Cliffs and Flamborough Head area in May.
Day 4
A break from the wildlife and a trip up to Saltburn-By-The-Sea. We walked from Saltburn along the beach North to the South end of Redcar and back. Not much wildlife to photograph so just tried to shoot these Wind Turbines at Redcar.
Saltburn-By-The-Sea is a great place for a day out.
