Batman Arkham Knight.
Some ALTs and older shots from my playthrough of Arkham Knight. I will be back soon. I'm nearing the end of my first novel and so all my time's currently tied up with that.
The last day of English-Electric power on the LSL loco-hauleds and 37521 heads the first Skipton - Appleby into Shotlock tunnel.
The 10 strong batch of Dennis Tridents with Dublin Bus are due for withdrawal and sale in the near future, DT5 is seen on a Harristown Garage working of the 41A on St.Stephens Green on an evening time service.
I made a diorama (of sorts) for this challenge, to illustrate the movie "The Borrowers", about a tiny four inch tall family who live in a house and borrow what they need from the people there, to survive. I read the book years ago and I've seen the 1997 movie depiction. There are two other films, one made in 1973 and one in 2011.
Here's a link to the 1997 trailer: youtu.be/HzRvqwWlmfY

MDOT F9H #7182 is seen pictured at Brunswick on a splendid September 1981 day. Borrowed coaches trail the engine, outshopped from MK earlier that year. RJ Robl did a fantastic job of photographing these engines, and I am lucky to have several of his slides in the collection. Very helpful for when I have to kitbash these eventually.

NS 29G is just underway from a crew change at Bluefield and is rolling west under the endangered N&W CPL at Bluefield, Virginia. The two EMD units will soon be getting a workout, as they will shortly begin their climb on the mountainous Pocahontas Division.
NS 255 makes it into downtown Lafayette alongside the CSX yard where the railroad relocation of the Lafayette District and the Monon Subdivision meetup. The roadrailers are once again rumored to be getting abolished this summer, and this time for real. The plan is to reroute the traffic to Toledo and convert the trailer service into a stack train. Definitely get your shots while you still can! (4/10/24).
As MARC commuter service continued to expand, borrowed equipment was the norm from the mid 1980s to the mid 90s until enough equipment was purchased to keep the services going. Here we see the Western Maryland's last GP40 teamed up with unpowered MDOT 7100 with a westbound afternoon run. The train has just gone through Washington Grove, and is passing Wayne Feeds. My grandfather recalls the mill being a frequent childhood "playground" for him and his friends. Just ahead and around the bend is Gaithersburg. This slide only has a processing date of May 1986, and no photographer information JL Sessa collection.
Amtrak GP40TC 199, former GO Transit, is pushing a borrowed Metra consist near Howard and Lehigh in Niles IL. on Thanksgiving weekend 1989.
On a crystal clear morning in Northeast New Mexico, Amtrak's Southwest Chief encounters the first pair of semaphore signals on its westbound journey to Los Angeles. The Chief will now race through over 100 miles of "semaphore country" between here and Los Cerrillos, NM. The semaphore signals along this route are the last active mainline semaphores in America.
Unfortunately, their time is limited. Right now, BNSF signal crews are actively working to replace these signals. Soon, Santa Fe's semaphores will be resigned to the history books.
I have created a "photographer's guide" for those who are interested in photographing the semaphores of New Mexico. You can find it on my website:

Dancontrino from Joedios came up with this idea, I just borrowed it. :)
Now I've reworked most of Cobra's high command duds - Big Boa, Crystal Ball, Overlord and Dr Mindbender. Raptor will require a lot more thought! :D
As the days tick closer towards LaFarge moving their Green Bay operation to a new location and a failed preservation effort, the cement boat S.T. Crapo continues it's work as a storage barge until she eventually makes her final voyage to the cutting torch. Built in 1927 as the second purpose built cement carrier on the great lakes, she will be sorely missed by future generations of boat nerds.

Had these three photos "lying" around. Independently, they're not too interesting but I thought if they were part of a Tryptich they would be 3x as interesting! Then I got to thinking about it and came to the realization that "interestingness" (to borrow a Flickr term) doesn't multiply like that... three 33% interesting photos when put together are still only 33% interesting. Oh well.

For his means of architectural expression the Russian has always borrowed the grammar of some foreign tongue and made it the basis of a language entirely his own. [St Petersburg] remains the most perfectly planned and most impressively classical city in Europe, and its beauty is a supreme monument to the individual genius of the Russian aesthetic - Robert Byron, 1933.
not at home, so this kitty belongs to one of DD's friends' mom :)
he did not seem to be not terribly thrilled about me being on the other side of the glass door taking pictures of him.
HLCX SD40-2 6100 was built in October 1971 as Burlington Northern SD40 6305.
The unit left BN's roster and became HLCX 6100 and was very active in the lease market as seen parked in UP's former Chicago and North Western Proviso yard in 1995.
What are you waiting for?
I'm serious about answering that question. It's a very confronting question to answer, and that is how I know it is important.
I'm waiting for opportunity to find me.
I'm waiting for people to understand me.
I'm waiting for the right moment.
We all do this. We all wait for things to happen to us, for opportunity to find us, for success to fall into our lap. Sometimes. Sometimes, we do this.
Anytime I feel that life is short it is because I'm waiting. I never, ever feel that life is short when I'm making my own opportunities.
We fixate on the clock and wonder when our time will come.
Our time is now. It must be, because nothing else is certain.
It must be, because time is not a thing that waits for us.
We use it, or it dies.
Our time must be now.

In the process of being replaced, not the semaphores, but the footbridge at St Erth, My initial shot was further down the platform, but behind the hoarding the foundation for the new lifts and footbridge meant it was more important to capture the footbridge before it goes.

I am so excited to share this series with you, a shoot consisting of three fantastic models for issue #4 of White Paint Magazine
I will be blogging and sharing the full set of images in due course!
Hope everyone is having a fab weekend!

With a little digging from Eileen (BeanheadWisconsin on Flickr), It's confirmed that the Wolf Brothers feed mill in Richfield WI. will be razed as early as February 2019. The one hundred year lease is up on the structure and the WSOR likely doesn't want to deal with the liability of the mill being so close to a deep angled grade crossing that causes quite a blindspot for westbound trains. Thank you Eileen.
This photo is of the westbound Wisconsin & Southern L249 rushing by the Wolf Brothers mill, in-route to Ackerville, where they will interchange with the CN and swap trains with the Horicon based L599.

Just a little over 5 years ago, on a mid March morning a CMQ crew crosses over the Pan Am Main going to pick up their train on the interchange track. Using three borrowed GP40's they'll take the train North to Brownville Jct. for handoff to NBS. Unfortunately, the crew didn't' have good luck, by the time they reached Glenburn the 515 was dead, soon after 514 started acting up as well. When they reached John Dean Rd in Milo the crew couldn't make it any further and tied down, later that night some extra power came down and took the train the rest of the way to the Jct.
Grumpy. And gorgeous.
And I will work on you soon.
Borrowed the wig from Syndal, Helliot's owner. :)
I hope she doesn't mind!
(Just tried it because it's beautiful.)
I considered making this one a black and white image, but i dont think it quite works without the reflected colours of the sunset in the flowing water and rocks.

A short Conrail train ELKA rolls past some fall foliage in thriving downtown Otis on an afternoon in 1998.
LMS 704, built by GE in 1994 for Locomotive Management Services was leading Conrail C39-8 6002. The 704 was working for Conrail on lease, and after the breakup, it went to CSXT as the 7922. It again returned to the leased locomotive market as GECX 7922, wearing CSX paint.
KCS and CN power lead UP AASCN north out of Villa Grove as the temperature is slowly rising from a low 30 degrees.
To many of the flickr-ians whom added me as a contact, I still need time to go through one by one to add you guys into my list as i wish to have a close knit community of photographers that will be my source of inspiration.
Sorry if I had not put any of you into my contact. Cheers and Happy New Year to all..best wishes for 2013!!
