It's been a while since I was last on here. Sorry about that. I've missed a lot of your uploads.

The times that I knew I could never get through
That's when I grew up the most
And alone sounds so sad
But alone I found the best friend I had...

NJT Arrow III no. 1491 (GE, 1977-1978) is leading train 3727 through Linden Station in the early evening as the sun begins to set. Also visible here is an Amtrak platform gondola, which is positioned on Track 1 allowing trains to board from the express track while maintenance work is being performed.

This image from the Red Arrows display at Old Buckenham Airshow in Norfolk UK. The Red Arrows, officially known as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, is the aerobatics display team of the Royal Air Force (RAF) based at RAF Waddington. The team was formed in late 1964 as an all-Royal Air Force team, replacing several unofficial teams that had been sponsored by RAF commands.
The Red Arrows have a prominent place in British popular culture, with their aerobatic displays a fixture of British summer events. The badge of the Red Arrows shows the aircraft in their trademark diamond nine formation, with the motto Éclat, a French word meaning "brilliance" or "excellence".
The four published roles of the Red Arrows are:
Representing and showcasing the skills and values of the Royal Air Force
Supporting British industry
Assisting in defence diplomacy
Aiding recruitment for the UK Armed Forces
Initially, they were equipped with seven Folland Gnat trainers inherited from the RAF Yellowjacks display team. This aircraft was chosen because it was less expensive to operate than front-line fighters. In their first season, they flew at 65 shows across Europe. In 1966, the team was increased to nine members, enabling them to develop their Diamond Nine formation. In late 1979, they switched to the BAE Hawk trainer. The Red Arrows have performed over 4,800 displays in 57 countries worldwide.
The team celebrated their 60th Diamond Season in 2024, with an anniversary decal applied to the fuselage and fin, as well as a special 'anniversary break' manoeuvre being included in the display.
