First time I've caught him lying down having a break in his stable! Chose to do a head image - limited space and heaving down with rain outside where I was!
Montana Rail Link’s Helena switch works past milepost 216 into Winston, Montana, on the morning of July 5, 2018. This is the “local” out of Helena that switches the cement plant and RY Timber at Townsend is powered by MRL No. 262, a rebuilt SD40 labeled a SD40-2XR, and venerable GP9 No. 109.
The skyline of Vancouver, B.C. Canada is set against the statue of Harry Winston Jerome. Jerome was British Columbia's Athlete of the Century (1871-1971). During his short 42 year life he held the following world records.

Westbound oil loads wind their way up Winston Hill, headed towards Helena on the MRL 2nd Sub with an H2 Dash 9 leader.
Following right on the heels of a westbound loaded grain train which has been dogging it up Winston Hill, Montana Rail Link's 840 local crew is running on approaches on their return trip to Helena after a quick run over to Townsend to switch the lime plant. The pair of immaculate SD40-2XR's are splitting a set of classic Northern Pacific Searchlights at the appropriately named control point of East Winston.
Miniature steam loco 'Winston Churchill' on the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway at Dungeness, Kent.
A local shoves past Winston Wye and under the old Searchlight signals that still stand guard over this short stretch of track. While the sun is almost fully out behind me, storm clouds line the horizon facing east.
An eastbound BNSF coal empty meets a westbound BNSF coal train at Winston, Montana, on September 26, 2007. Montana Rail Link’s 840 local power was used to help the westbound coal load up Winston Hill and can be seen pushing on the rear.
Winston is a new member of our family. He is a 10 week-old labrador retriever, very cute and playful, not quite house trained yet 😕
The eastbound ML descends Winston Hill behind a pair of SD70ACes, the trailing being the Essential Workers unit.
The sun sets on July 9, 2024, as BNSF’s Helena local rolls to a stop in the siding at Winston for a wait on a westbound BNSF oil train climbing the grade of Winston Hill. Color in the sky is courtesy of the nearby Horse Gulch wildfire north of Canyon Ferry.
coming home from checking out the Merkur I spotted a 164 behind a house. You know I turned around and met the owner, Winston, especially after I spotted the 3 Spiders. Turns out he was at the show last weekend, too, small world!
MRL train 840-19 (Helena Local) departs Winston, MT after meeting an eastbound BNSF grain train, on 10/19/2022.
While the eastbound chase of the 840 was far more interesting, with a GP9 leader, those photos will never be seen as my SD card was 150 miles away in my laptop. Oh well, at least the lighting was decent for the west bound trip. Luckily I always pack spare SD cards so I could shoot the west bound move.

The steady 1% grade of Winston Hill is evident in the this across the field view of the Montana Rail Link's Helena Switch heading back west towards Helena.
Keeping the signal crew busy. The second siding extension for Winston.
Plenty of business for the 840 this day.

Wizo the Fleming was one of the powerful Norman lords who took control of southern Wales in the decades following the Norman Conquest. Around 1112 Wizo took the lordship of Daugleddau. He later seized land for himself in Lanarkshire, Scotland. He must have had the most widely separated estates in all of Britain at that time!
Sometime before his death in 1130 Wizo erected a motte and bailey fortification here, reusing existing Iron Age earthworks. He also founded a church at the same time. Though altered by subsequent generations, the church is essentially a Norman building, entered by a very simple doorway made of large slabs of local red sandstone.
The stolid tower is very simple, crenellated with an extremely simple parapet. Notice the very slender lancet windows let into the tower walls. Obviously the Norman architects were very worried about the possibility of attack!
A pod of walruses in Magdalenafjord turn towards the water to check out an unexpected noise, but one only has eyes for the pod of wildlife photographers nearby. I am the walrus. JWL.

You'd think six new SD40-2's could get their train up Winston Hill

Nearing the end of its 10-mile climb up Winston Hill's 1% grade, BNSF 5166 grinds through the east switch of Winston with priority stacks for the Pacific Northwest.
