I went looking for damsel flies but many flowers and activities in our local wildlife centre are slow to develop. The bees are working well as usual on the bugleweed.
I shot this in the yard, a honey bee working one of the yellow flowers in the garden.

CSXT's ex Am Railways Boston based local BO-1 is running light along the busy and cluttered Everett waterfront with GMDD GP40-2LW MEC 507 (blt. Jul 1974 as CN 9472). After shoving over the Mystic from Yard 21 in Somerville with three scrap loads, they temporarily dropped those up at the 'coke works' before running down light to pull a long cut of cars from Ciment Quebec and Schnitzer Northeast. After gathering those up they took all those off the dock up to the runaround and set them over and then picked up their three scrap gons and made a third trip back down here to spot them. Having completed that they are running light making their fourth and final trip along the waterfront to head straight back home to BET in Somerville and call it a day and a weekend!
Some will laugh and some will scoff but I waited around till this final move after getting dozens of more 'conventional' scenes just to capture this admittedly unusual view. I just loved how perfectly the unit was framed by the cab of the forklift that just happened to be dressed in matching colors. Thoughts?

The Importance of Farmland in Cornwall
More than 70% of Cornwall’s land is dedicated to agriculture, making it a vital part of the region’s economy and ecosystem. The fertile soil and favorable climate allow for the cultivation of a wide variety of crops, including fruits, vegetables, and cereals. Additionally, Cornwall is known for its dairy farming, producing high-quality milk and cheese.
The abundance of farmland in Cornwall not only provides us with nutritious food but also contributes to the preservation of the region’s natural resources. Sustainable farming practices, such as organic farming and agroforestry, can help enhance soil quality, reduce pollution, and support wildlife habitats. By working collaboratively with farmers, we can ensure that nature thrives alongside agricultural activities.
Exploring Cornwall’s Agricultural Landscape
Cornwall is home to expansive farmlands, with picturesque countryside vistas that attract visitors from around the world. The largest county in the South West, Devon, has around 72.4 percent of its land dedicated to commercial farm holdings, with a majority of it consisting of grasslands. This creates a lush and vibrant landscape that adds to Cornwall’s allure as a tourism hotspot.

Sunday evening Train 962 from Dunedin is elusive - it runs later than it used to, so is only gettable in summer, and thats usually when the weather is the worst. Mr Wallace and I managed to get a good haul of Mike K on the train on Sunday 13 December.

These days my garden is small and quite manageable, having moved last year from a much larger property. The winter months have been spent working on landscaping and planting and now that spring has arrived, I’m starting to see the fruits of my labour. Brings joy to my heart. It’s the simple things…
Another one of the hard working trucks at the Wapato Showdown... Happy Truck Thursday, Everybody!!!!!!!
If you have ever seen a beaver in the wild, you will see just how hard working animals they are. If they are not chopping trees down with their sharp teeth, they are carrying twigs and branches to their dams.
This particular beaver must have carried at least 10 branches to its den, which was amazing to witness!

The line between West Palm Beach and Cocoa is currently being upgraded /double tracked with many bridges being replaced prior to the introduction of the new Brightline service to Orlando...
Here is another look back a dozen years to a simple favorite and the only time I shot a train working here on the two stub ended warehouse tracks accessed via a diamond over the Roundhouse Lead that is right beneath me under the bridge.
This view looks down from the sidwalk of the C Street Bridge as an ARR yard job with GP38-2 2005 in the 1980s Alaska bold scheme switches out cars at the warehouse. The building on the left houses the ARR's stores department and they still regularly ship and receive company material by rail. Track components (spikes, anchors, etc.) come up by barge in foreign line boxcars while various other company material is shuttled around the system on flats, gons, or in boxcars. Beyond the train can be seen the bustling port of Anchorage and then the blue waters of cook inlet. On the horizon is the 4396 ft peak of Mt. Susitna, known locally as the "Sleeping Lady" for the mountain's resemblance to a woman in repose on her back. To the right is the abandoned warehouse, which is one of the oldest structures in the Anchorage yard complex and whose fate is uncertain, though I do believe a dozen years later it still stands.

This rainy day solo adventure really sticks in my mind. What a truly great day. So here is another soggy frame from this spot, since I realized I'd not put a horizontally composed frame in the album.
Here is the one man crew Finger Lakes Railway local switching the Cargill Salt Plant on the southern tip of Seneca Lake. This is the only customer in town and the only reason this segment of the old Pennsy Elmira branch still exists in this tourist town. If you missed it and want to learn a bit more history check out the caption with this post: flic.kr/p/2mFLSVk
The FGLK's lighting stripe paint is quite sharp, and pays homage to the New York Central heritage of the majority of their routes but is rather sacrilege here! FGLK 2001 is an EMD GP38-2 built in June 1979 as Conrail 8279. Coupled behind is FGLK 2005 a rebuilt GP38-2 that was originally built by EMD as a straight GP38 a decade earlier in July 1969 as Penn Central 7727.
P.S. - sharp eyed folks might notice the ex LEFC boxcar on the headpin and those in the know are aware of it's connection to some old friends from my Alaska Railroad days.

The Jackson & Lansing's Monday day job running as CSX Z646-17 on CSX is working the south side of CSX Ensel Yard in Lansing, Michigan while CSX L305-16 has come to life to put together their train on the north side of the yard after getting banner tested on the way in. It's refreshing seeing shortline and class I standard cab EMD's ruling the roost together anywhere these days. 11/17/2025

Finally a nice morning on Sunday for my walk through the Ravines park. Lucky for me the eagles were active and were working on the nest.
Back in the gym and working the days stress out and building for the future.

Connecticut was graced with its first major snowfall of the year the day before Halloween. While some places north of the state line saw accumulations up to two inches here in the northeastern section of the Nutmeg state it was heavy and wet but didn't build up too much. But the big heavy flakes made for some interesting shooting conditions and equally interesting working conditions for conductor Pat Schmidt.
Having just come down from Palmer with New England Central train 608,his day is just about done. He has to do a bit of switching here to spot and pull Willimantic Waste Paper Inc., the NECR's busiest customer in the area. Once that work is done they will pull down just a couple hundred yards and park on the main beside their office that sits at about MP 29.5 of the Palmer Sub and call it a day.
