She had been born to cradle other people's children, wear their hand-me-down clothing, eat their leftovers, live on borrowed happiness and grief, grow old beneath other people's roofs,

die one day in her miserable little room in the far courtyard in a bed that did not belong to her, and be buried in a common grave in the public cemetery.”

.Dear Flickr friends, thanks for all the kind comments.

Enjoy your Sunday!

South Lancs Travel had been purchased by Rotala some two months earlier than this May 26th 2015 shot at the garage in Atherton. MPD EK51XXD would soon leave the fleet for Avondale in Glasgow, as would Tempo T100SLT, sold as YJ58CEY to Lynx in Norfolk, and the SLT identity would be snuffed out by Diamond.

Try on of my ex's skirt & blouse with my own suspenders, stockings & heels.

 

My ex, she'd never wear suspenders & stockings, her size 6 feet make her stilettos completely unwearable, I do have some joy from her strappy sandals & peep toes with some rather fun shoe play. I often encouraged her to wear them afterwards. 👿👿👿

 

Wouldn't she be livid if she knew.

an abandoned house in rural Ontario on the Sunday 'just do it' rurex tour!

With just weeks left in their intermodal operation, Aurizon's 4MB7 service heads north through Meadowbank behind LDPs 8 and 9..

This is why I don't do big scenes. My area for taking photos is about as big as a laptop :/

Diyosa's Hassy and Lauren's Pola Back. My flowers and window.

I had a pleasure to participate in an arrival of Soom The Gem Vesuvia (owner villemo), so I had to take a few shots. She is drop dead beautiful.

iPhone 4. A screen grab shot and edited on my iPhone.

The replacement signals at Waterloo, Indiana have been up for a couple years, but for now the New York Central Signal Bridge still stands. Repalcements have been turned on and the old signals have been taken down from East to West on this portion of the Chicago Line and this bridge will be lucky to see 2018.

Would just like to wish all the amazing people I have met on flickr a very HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND CREATIVE NEW YEAR!!! made this a long time ago, inspired by the wonderful MARY NORTON BOOKS ABOUT THE BORROWERS.

The railroad crew on the local job has just stopped at the station for a soda and some chat. The mid 80s haven't been too good for these fellows and they are aware that their days are numbered. Traffic is way down and their jobs are close to being eliminated. It's time to exercise their seniority (and there's plenty of it on this job) or pull the plug, retire and just enjoy life.

 

Borrowed NS GEVO's NS 7551 & NS 8040 lead CN 543 into the Port of Montreal with baretables as they go over a crossing with newly installed gates. In the background at right is the out of use grain elevator #5. My vantage point is a tower that is part of the Pointe-à-Callière Museum.

I didn't see the potential in this composition at all, but Steve suggested it would make a good shot. He "sees" so much better in black and white than I do.

Borrowed this dress from my best friend, Ariyana. It's quite cute! I went out to a club last night, here in Toronto. Again, these pics were taken at 2 a.m., so please don't mind the scraggly hair! Cheers everyone!

150 145 departs with 2E82 11.21 Blackpool North to Manchester Victoria Holding Sidings with 150 269 trailing. With platforms 7 & 8 already demolished and platforms 1 & 2 devoid of track work is steadily progressing at the station with the semaphore signals and associated signal box soon to be removed. Thanks are extended to Andy from Northern and his team for allowing us access to record the signalling and workings in and out of the station.

Thanks to my partner for the loan of this lovely Lindy Bop dress.

Keolis/MBTA train 743 curls around the Lewis Wye off the Franklin Line (former New Haven Midland Division) and on to the Framingham Secondary for the just under four mile trip to their endpoint at Foxboro Station. The service to Foxboro was a year long pilot program that began in Oct 2019 funded in part by Robert Kraft to provide service for employees and customers of his massive Patriot Place shopping, entertainment, and sports complex centered around Gillette Stadium. But the Pandemic decimated whatever (dubious) demand their was so come November 1 these trains will disappear. Allegedly they will return in the spring of 2021, but I have my doubts if they ever will.

 

Given their endangered nature I figured a few photos were worth my effort especially on a line that saw no regular daily passenger service after 1933 until these trains returned.

 

For those interested in history the line to Foxboror was buiilt as the Mansfield and Framingham Railroad in 1870 and the 21 mile route between its two namesake points came under the aegis the Old Colony Railroad in 1879 and then the New Haven in 1893 when that system absorbed the OCRR. 40 years later passenger service ended, but for the past 86 years the line has been an important freight route. Passing from the NH to PC, CR, and ultimately CSXT the line was sold by the latter in June 2015 to MassDOT for $23 million. The line is now dispatched and maintained under contract by Mass Coastal (except for the four miles from Walpole to Foxboro under Keolis control) with CSXT retaining the perpetual freight rights. Excepting the rebuilt and signaled portion between here and Foxboror the branch line is a 10 MPH railroad that normally sees 4 trains a day on its fairly flat route through wooded semi rural and suburban Boston bedroom communities.

 

Standing at left in the background is the 1893 Union Station originally served the Old Colony Railroad (along the present day Framingham Sub side) and the New York and New England (along the present day Franklin Line side) although by 1898 it was all under the aegis of the New Haven.

43073 heads south at Lolham Bridges, to the north of Peterborough.

The day started promising when Chief and I got to Stronghurst, IL in time to catch the Z-LACNYC9-24 scream through town.

 

Unfortunately the sun didn't stick around for long, much like the former Santa Fe cantilevers which are on their way out.

 

December 26, 2013.

A scene that will almost certainly change quite drastically very probably later this year. Gasometers will very soon become a very rare sight indeed.

Borrowed my brothers 10-20 Sigma for a few shots.

VIA 33 passes the Peel Basin with the last Renaissance consist in use on the Ottawa-Quebec City corridor. It seems that this consist will be replaced by a Siemens consist by the end of May.

After seeing Deany’s pic of Megan with her hairband, and how he explained it was to flatten her fringe, I decided to try the idea on one of my pretty blonde TNT Francies, who always had a fringe that never laid flat and stuck out too much. I LOVE the way she looks with that headband, made from fluorescent orange/pink ribbon I got at the local fabric store… and for a very late 60’s touch, I didn’t trim the trailing ends and instead let them fall free down her back, like it’s a really groovy headscarf! Her hairdo reminds me of Barbara Eden in I Dream Of Jeanie when she was in her groovy Mod civilian clothes. Why didn’t I think of this before? I want all of my long haired Francies to have a headband now!

The Cenotaph Monument,near the Alamo, is a popular spot for visitors to pose for photos. I stood back and "borrowed" these families for my own shot.

A recent arrival at D&G Bus is this Alexander Dennis Enviro 200 Dart YX12 AON .New to First London as DMV 44236 it passed to Tower Transit when they purchased the First London operations.This bus is owned by Centrebus and is a loan to D&G Bus along with sisters YX12 AOF and YX12 AYF. They are unusual for D&G Bus in being dual door.They are to have electronic blinds fitted to replace the London ones.

CN 585 (normally a night train in the Montreal area) is approaching MP 14 of CN's Kingston Sub with two NS EMD units (SD70M-2 NS 2688 & SD70ACe NS 1133) borrowed from the CN 528/529 pool. The train is mostly composed of loaded TankTrain cars, with a bit of mixed freight up front.

The Nappy Choos can borrow some Lati Yellow clothes (not hats) so Nappi and Nuppu do not need to wait until I have time to make something just for them.

WHEN THE THEN-VENICE LITTLE THEATRE mounted its first production in the 1950s, it did so in a borrowed building, had no paid staff, operated entirely with volunteers, and its only revenue came from sales of the $2.00 tickets.

 

TODAY, Venice Theatre is per capital the largest community theatre in the United States with an operating budget of almost three million dollars, a large professional staff and an honored place in the history of Venice Florida.

Photo taken for Our Daily Challenge: Something Borrowed.

 

I borrowed this tree from a neighbor for the photo shoot. See a more traditional response to the challenge below.

 

Recycled for Tree-mendous Tuesday. Happy TMT everyone!

The Up line through Bayford should have been re-laid last Weekend & rail manufactured at BSC Cargo Fleet 47 years ago in 1975 replaced!!

CP Rail RS18U 1806 and C424M 4227 look right at home servicing Columbia Forest Products on the former Quebec Central in Newport VT. The truth is the pair are being leased to Iron Road Railway's Northern Vermont and by years end would be sent back to CP, marking the end of action red Alcos in the Green Mountain state.

We don't really have a fall down south, so I borrowed this from Indiana. :)
