Nom nom nom. Big Mac's probably the most friendly of the ferals. He's obviously had some human interaction before, because he's got an ear tip.

On August 22, 2008 I caught BNSF SD70MACs 9950 & 9475 (ex-BN 9475) leading a southbound (empty) unit coal train out of the Great Falls, MT yard. Notice how the factory painted lead unit has weathered and faded, but the repainted ex-BN trailing unit has weathered but not faded.
I've seen several empty coal trains passing through here recently. Don't know if there was a derailment somewhere else, or if BNSF is just trying out a new route.

Mackinac Bridge earlier in the day... lots of ice flowing with the wind... almost looks like the Artic, but just Lake Huron in early spring!

Billboards for the two largest hamburger chains in Germany. A new tastier Big Mac from McDonald's and a cheap menu from Burger King, even plant-based.

The Mackinac Bridge (/ˈmækɨnɔː/ mak-in-aw) is a suspension bridge spanning the Straits of Mackinac to connect the Upper and Lower peninsulas of the U.S. state of Michigan. Opened in 1957, the 8,614-foot (2,626 m)bridge (familiarly known as "Big Mac" and "Mighty Mac") is the world's third-longest in total suspension and the longest suspension bridge between anchorages in the Western hemisphere. The Mackinac Bridge carries Interstate 75 and the Lakes Michigan and Huron components of the Great Lakes Circle Tours across the straits and connects the city of St. Ignace on the north end with the village of Mackinaw City on the south.
Envisioned since the 1880s, the bridge was designed by the engineer David B. Steinman and completed in 1957 only after many decades of struggles to begin construction.
