With the trailing SP leaser offline and the leader notched out, L510 roars north out of the Blanchard River valley and passes the endangered CPLs at MP153.5 on warm May morning in NWO
This gap in the trees along the shore was created when the property owner cleared the lot and then ... nothing. Maybe one day they will build and I will no longer have one of my favourite views on my daily walks.
In winter, the winds off Huron cause the snow to blow across the road and form some serious drifts.

With Genesee & Wyoming's purchase of the Providence & Worcester, that railroads image is slowly being phased out. It still looks like old times here at Worcester, but for how much longer the 3902 and the sanding tower will continue to sport the independent colors and logo is anyone's guess. Unfortunately, this is one of the railroads I never paid much attention to, due to a combination of my work hours, and assuming (like most other people), that it would be around in the future to shoot when I got a chance. Change is around the corner already, with the first repainted P&W engine, B39-8 3906, resting inside the engine house, and the P&W sign on the engine house already replaced with a G&W one.
When walking through the dark sometimes it’s necessary to borrow hope from others around us.

After Vermont Rail acquired the New England Southern, they borrowed Pan Am GP40 #313 while their switcher was being worked on in Burlington, VT. The northbound with two loads from 3M passes the rebuilt B&M semaphore and crosses from Northfield into Tilton, NH December 1, 2020
My attempts at getting some of CN's cool power today was capped off with the last train of the day when L52191 left Kirk for Joliet with a nice pair of EMD's leading their junk train over the Little Calumet River beneath some nice puffy clouds near Gary, IN.
The searchlights at West Halls on the BNSF St Joe Sub have maybe a few weeks left. The replacements are already standing on the east end and signal crews are working diligently. Not the leader I wanted but probably the last time I'll shoot this signal so I'll take it.
I very rarely use anyone's photos to work with but my own, but this beautiful background on a newly found site - asking people to use it and report back - was too much of a challenge. Simple image, but quick fun....and since I can't resist color - a version in my favorite.
Texture from plumnutz's photostream...Thanks!
With the end of November coming along the Bucksport Branch was on limited time. The weather this day matched the mood as we went out trying to grab as many photos as we could as the end came closer. Here at MP 6 a small BK Job hits the dip as it brings loads from the mill to NMJ on a cold and cloudy Sunday.
All beauty all fade away
All moonlight return today
All sunrise all shooting stars
All earth bound bare feet in day
You know where standing on .....borrowed heaven.

On the second day of our October visit to TTI, there were unfortunately no empties to take back to Maysville, so the power returned light. There were atleast a couple of good photo spots for the light power move that hid the lack of a train. Here the power ducks under the old 1932 route 32 pony truss bridge. The bridge was in the process of being replaced and we are standing on the partially finished replacement. Both the bridge and TTIs coal contract had about the same expiration date, with the last TTI coal train operating about a year later in September 2016, and the new bridge opening sometime in the same year. Bridge info from the the somewhat revived Bridgehunter site: bridgestunnels.com/location/myers-bridge/
I borrowed these wood carvings from a friend who is into horses.
This one is right at 3 inches from the tip of the nose to the top of the ear so I may be pushing the limit for the definition of macro in this group, but I liked the grain and detail in this one better than the smaller one so I thought I would try it.
I shot this in sunrise light out on my deck.
Cheers and Happy Macro Monday,
whether it stays or not ;-)
P.S. This is not a chess piece ;-)

19th March 2017:
The sun tried to come out today on several occasions, but it didn't last long. I nipped over the road at one point to find my photo for today.
I didn't get what I'd gone out for as it was very windy and not much was staying still.
I took this really close up of some moss on a garden wall. I'm not sure that I haven't actually gone in too close, so comments welcome.

Sorry & The Sinatras - Borrowed Time | Highball Roller | 2009
A few weeks ago a friend forwarded me a copy of a letter to CSX employees stating that the Selkirk hump would be closed in the near future as a result of changes being implemented by Hunter Harrison. We were going to Pittsfield, MA this Saturday to have dinner with family, I figured it was a good chance to leave early and take a trip over to Selkirk for the first time in many years. It's amazing how much things have changed over the years, I remember my first visit in the early 80's my dad brought me and my brother to see the yard, we went into the division offices and walked out with a booklet "Conrail's Selkirk Yard a Visitor's Guide" which I still have on my bookshelf. Today, there is a large "No Tresspassing" sign at the front door of the division offices, something tells me they don't hand out visitors guides anymore. The famous Ben's bridge used to cross the entire yard at the foot of the hump right over the locomotive servicing facilities and shop. Today there isn't a trace of the bridge left. At the west end of the yard there were what seemed like hundreds of stored locomotives along the road. Today, this part of the west yard is now all auto racks. It's hard to believe the hump may soon be gone and it will be revert to a flat switching yard. We only had a little bit of time and it seemed to be a slow day, but it was a cool chance to fire up the drone and try to do a few aerial shots similar to what I remembered in the visitors guide. In this shot an SD40-2 and an MT6 slug are at the top of the hump. In the foreground is the south departure yard, in the background behind the hump bowl is the car shop and the north departure yard.

Happy Caturday!
For the Happy Caturday Group 3/9/2024 theme "Something old, something borrowed, or something blue".
An Eastbound NBSR train gets ready to leave Brownville Jct with some borrowed power from Pan Am , MEC 381 and MEC 380.
So the Pixy image theft service has shown me this image so many times that has been 'borrowed' online and for some reason virtually all are Chinese sites. So there goes any chance of chasing them up maybe. Part of the reason that i only upload lower resolution images so at least no one can print them. Suppose it is a form of flattery in that they think it's good enough to 'borrow'...
This is coming down the Tongariro Alpine Crossing looking towards Lake Rotoaira in the foreground with Lake Taupo behind and the Te Mari vent on the right after watching sunrise atop Red Crater.
Judging by the lean and the missing boards I'm guessing this barn won't be around for much longer. I'm so thankful for getting an opportunity to photograph this old beaut before it's gone forever
With replacement signals already in place a short distance away the old signals at mp 369 on the NS Chicago Line work their last days as the N&W heritage unit heads up a 21G westbound on 11-11-15.
A mixture of Chessie, L&N, and SP power roll an eastbound just west of Beaumont CA in 1978. That's the 10 to the right of frame. No photographer listed, JL Sessa collection.
Weston's old pier gradually falling into a state of disrepair. It was more silhouetted then this but I have bought out the shadows to highlight the wear and tear.
My aim is to get more photographs of it over the winter while I still can, if possible down below during a lower tide.
This was Saturday evenings beautiful sunset which got far more intense after the sun dipped below the horizon.
This scene was much more glamorous back in the Victorian days!
Soo Line switching St.Paul industries. 7th St yard and FrtHse on lead behind cam. First of two NP double track tunnels visible straight ahead. Second on other side of GN. (single track centered for extra clearance today) GN mains at roof level of GP9. Soo tunnel just around bend left. All 3 went under GN Westminster Tower. CNW WM connection to E. St. Paul also went over all 3 tunnels.
A title borrowed from Hemingway ... it just seemed to fit!

NS 205 with 8114 heads past the D&H style search lights at Afton, NY. The signals replacements are rumored to be in within the year, this shot won't be the same much longer.
Coming out of the dip at Lake Odessa, CSX L303 splits the signals at Haddix Rd. with a decent train out of Grand Rapids. These signals are slated for replacement in 2024 after a tornado wiped out the code line east of here, and CSX is finally putting up the money to upgrade the old timers to modern equipment.
