Back from our road trip to California and the last few days of our visit to the USA. We always like a walk along Boulevard Park and watching the activity on the Bay. In the distance you can see Orcas Island covered in cloud

The sky lowers and the clouds roll in over Lummi and Portage islands, while they didn't bring rain, they sure looked amazing. :-)
yeah, I could have raised shadows...but why? :-) Hope all is well with ya'll, happy Saturday Night.
Liked all the texture of hard-packed fill, with a uniform surface scared by the curve of heavy equipment racks slashing across it here and there
Bellingham is in the process of turning part of an ex-industrial waterfront into a place where people want to spend their time. They have done a great job so far.
Have a great week!
Lowdown view in Bellingham Bay. I liked all the leading lines I could working into this, from the piling, the green algae, and then the horizontals.
Thanks to a heads up from Tom Farence, I knew the CP 6232 South was rolling my way. I waited to take my lunch until it was past LeClaire and was able to get into position at Bellingham Rd in Riverdale, IA on the other side of Alcoa from my office. I was shocked to see an almost all-CP consist coming at me with the KCS spoiler.

Just another from this fun morning out with the Grafton and Upton Railroad for the first time in a couple years.
After running down from North Grafton and dropping the second crew at West Upton, this job contined on to Hopedale yard with GU 1191 (blt. Feb. 1978 as SCL 4221) and GMTX 226 (blt. Sep. 1975 as MILW 480) and three cars. After doing some switching and swapping some cars around they split up the power with one unit on each end to effect the switch back move necessary where they reach the end of their property and enter the MBTA owned Milford Industrial track.
Having traveled about 4 1/2 miles from the connection in Milford they are seen here working inside the Bluelinx facility. It's hard to believe they've been serving this customer for over two years now. It seems like just yesterday I was regularly shooting CSXT here on Wednesdays like this: flic.kr/p/2kk2pzb

Late on a May evening 10 years ago, I was in Bellingham for a Christian student leadership convention as part of my college youth group. The sessions ended early enough most days that I could sneak a bit of time for train photos. With only a vague idea of the lay of the railroad around town, I ventured down to the waterfront and stumbled my way into a nice location near the south switch of the CTC siding with no idea if any trains were on the way. Through nothing but dumb luck, before long I could see loaded centerbeams moving along the bluffs a few miles up the coast north of me.
As the train made its way into town, a young man close to my age came walking past with his girlfriend, and noticed the approaching train as well, and started sternly asked me if it was a coal train. I expressed doubt in that, but this guy wouldn't take no for an answer. He was clearly interested in getting a newsworthy photo of a big-bad coal train - no surprise in Bellingham, a hotbed for anti-coal train sentiment in the Northwest. I paid him no mind, and focused on the approaching train.
At a quarter-to-9, the southbound manifest rounded the point just moments before the sun would touch the horizon to the west, easing into the siding for a meet. The prominent mountain peaks visible on the distant horizon are the Golden Ears at left, and Mt. Robie Reid at right; these mountains lie north of the Fraser River in Canada, in the rugged mountains northeast of Vancouver, BC - nearly 50 miles to north of Bellingham.
As the train crept past, slowing to a stop, the would-be crack news photojournalist asked me *yet again* if it was a coal train, which I once again firmly denied. As the sun dropped below the horizon and the train had come to a stop, a northbound Amtrak Cascades could be seen approaching from the south. At this point this guy decided he needed to crawl *underneath* the waiting manifest to get a photo of the approaching Amtrak from underneath the train. I had packed up my gear and was ready to leave, but before doing so I shouted at the girlfriend that the train her boy toy was crawling around underneath was likely about to move. She started frantically begging him to get out of there. Not 30 seconds after he crawled back out, the manifest started to pull south with a clear block. Mister would-be-photojournalist was 30 seconds away from becoming the news story of the day...
BN's Cherry Point local is returning to Bellingham with just 2 cars on a typically gray November afternoon in 1991.
In Bellingham there is the ferry terminal for the intra island ferry that runs from there to North of Juneau in alaska. You can travel yourself, or bring a vehicle.
Just for traveling it is more pricy than using a cruise to get up there but it gives you the ability to control more.
But cruises don't see Alaska or anywhere else, they cruise in the area and sometimes see what's there.
After dropping off a car in Bellingham Yard, the daily EVECUS proceeds north to Custer. The unit on point, BNSF 2104, had a nice Leslie RS3K horn. Bellingham, WA 3/28/2022
Bellingham downtown parkade signage that is no more. Rehabbing it has cleared that paint off the surface and replace it with more discrete signage.
A relaxing period in-between shots of All Creatures Great And Small filming "Big Fish Little Fish", s6 ep9.
These are my own photos taken in 1989 and are copyrighted, using my trusty Olympus Trip film camera. This is a copy of a negative which has proven to be better than scanning a print.
The location was Spennithorne village, North Yorkshire, cricket ground. RIP
