Seaview Transportation Company's SW7 SVTX 5 is spotting up a cebterbeam load of lumber inside the BB&S lumber yard on the long paved spur. The little 1200hp EMD was blt. Feb. 1951 as NYC 8851 and served PC and CR before being sold to the PW where it served mostly as a Worcester switcher until coming to the Seaview around 2002.

The City of Melbourne Australia is adding a new subway with 5 stations that will run through its CBD (Central Business District). Here, 2 men work on one of those stations (across the street from Flinders Station). The steeples of St. Pauls Cathedral show through the gaps in the scaffolding.
Mass Coastal Railroad GP9RM 2008 (ex CN blt Apr 1956) is on the South Dennis line at about MP 1.7 as measured from Yarmouth Junction and the mainline to Hyannis. This is the east switch for the trash transfer station which is the sole freight customer on this branch and its only reason for survival. In just about 0.3 miles ahead of them (and behind me here) at the former Station Street crossing the rails come to an abrupt end and the bike path begins.
However, from 1873 until 1960 the line continued a full 45 miles further to the very tip of Cape Cod at Provincetown. That year abandonments began and the line was successively cut back until just this 3 mile stub remained. I love the feel of this weedy and slow freight only branch as it gives of vibes of what the rest of the line must have looked like in the latter years of the New Haven and even into the Penn Central era. In fact until about 1997 the Bay Colony went three more miles or so to service Mid Cape Lumber in South Dennis and I got the chance to ride an excursion out there over the little Bass River bridge just once shortly before the end.

A local crew works at the west end of BNSF's Willmar Yard with three EMD's for power. I'm sure the local residents didn't appreciate them blocking the crossing here for well over 20 minutes, but I enjoyed the sight and sound of them working on a beautiful fall afternoon.
CSXT's weekday West Springfield based local L012 has paused on its way east to Palmer to pull and spot Construction Services located just off the main at MP QB89.8 on CSXT's Boston Sub (ex Boston and Albany mainline). Ex Chessie GP40-2s 6227 and 6245 will drop their train on the single track main and duck into the stub ended siding at left, one of only a handful of customers remaining that is served directly off the mainline.

CNW 4284 works across the diamonds at Grand Crossing on September 19, 1985. The CNW often had a single geep working local industries and it would gather up freight for trains 482/495 to pick up when they made there trips through town.

My mathematical son Max sketching a mathematical representation of a glider. That's right, a glider. An engine-less airplane.
Yeah, it doesn't make sense to me, either. And that's the point of this photo. So much of what has happened to me this year hasn't made sense.
But I'm working on it. And I'm soo grateful for the friendship and family I've found here on Flickr. <3
I'll be home tomorrow, and back to making snarky comments on your photos, but in the meantime, I'd like to wish each of you a new year of sunny skies, clear eyes, beckoning horizons, storm-tossed seas, raucous laughter, cozy comforts, peace, joy, forgiveness, and above all, love. :D
I think I am going to make couple more hats in latidoll yellow sizes then these will be ready to go.
The hot pink is the limited fur color and this time it is being used on My Melody.
After tackling the climb up to Holytown from Mossend 66089 is seen passing through the station with a lengthy and fully loaded 4M30 to Daventry. The weight of the train evidently put some strain on the loco as it was making quite a racket as it passed.
This working switched to Class 90 haulage from Mossend for a time, however this was short-lived following some failures. Whether it goes back to Class 90 haulage is anyones guess at this point, though I wouldn't complain if it did.

His Master's Voice (HMV) was the name of a major British record label created in 1901 by The Gramophone Co. Ltd. The phrase was coined in the late 1890s from the title of a painting by English artist Francis Barraud, which depicted a dog named Nipper listening to a wind-up disc gramophone and tilting his head. In the original, unmodified 1898 painting, the dog was listening to a cylinder phonograph.

Getting away from well known areas of Venice is very rewarding; these are not posh gondolas with all the glitter, but the view reveals real working life, so often hidden from the tourist's eyes.

Working hard for something we don't care about is pain. Working for something we believe (with or without tomorrow) is a blessing.

As you can see there really isn't a nest here but this is the tree that the eagles have chosen to try to build a nest in. This has been going on now for two weeks. The eagles keep bringing branches into this "Y" of the tree and every one of them have fallen to the ground. They are very persistent though. I would like to climb up there and nail a few branches in and give them a head start, but I think they will figure it out on their own.
