I couldn't resist enhancing his muscles in editing when I saw the pose and tough guy expression he gave me.
Another dormant pub. My local as well. Nice atmosphere, great beer and food plus a spacious garden at the rear. Soon I hope!!
We have finally seen some snow in southern Wisconsin, making it look and feel a little more like winter. Here on the north side of Watertown, Amtrak's eastbound Empire Builder kicks up the powder a little after just crossing over from 2 main to the single track main at Watertown West.

Number 7, The Empire Builder heads westward on the Glasgow Sub with a couple of extra motors. On this trip west, the train was terminated at Glasgow Montana due to avalanche related issues on Marias Pass. The eastbound Empire Builder, #8 picked up the cars and power at Glasgow, and brought the whole consist eastward, with the ultimate destination of Chicago. Passenger service across the northern transcon is currently suspended until the avalanche dangers have passed on Marias.
A late-running Amtrak No. 8, the Empire Builder, cruises through Grizzly, Montana, on December 23, 1998. The train is leaving the snow-covered Rocky Mountains of Glacier National Park behind on this extremely cold day. Leading the silvery Superliner is an all-GE consist, led by warbonnet-clad BNSF No. 761, with P40DCs (822, 808, 817) in three different paint schemes trailing.
After crossing a snowy Marias Pass, Amtrak’s eastbound Empire Builder curves through Grizzly, Montana, on a cold December 22, 1998.
Less showy than her male counterpart, the female Black Redstart is a charming, subtly beautiful little bird. Very often choosing to inhabit urban areas, her choice of nest site will sometimes bring them into close proximity to people.
During a photography shoot in Hungary, we were lucky enough to have a pair nesting in an old barn, next to the villa where we were staying. The barn was being renovated & despite constant interruptions from the building works, the birds seemed undaunted, flying in over the builders heads to feed their young.

The previous day's eastbound Empire Builder rolled through about an hour ahead of this Christmas day scheduled eastbound Builder. Nothing special about this train other than it's Christmas day passengers traveling by rail, as it should be.

Another winter snowfall and brings another late Empire Builder on its trip back to Chicago. Siemens ALC-42 Chargers 302 and 310 are about 5 hours late into the Twin Cities and should arrive at St. Paul Union Deport within the half hour.

I've made a little decorative birdhouse that's hanging near the front door of my house that's been popular over the years.
-A few years ago, some chickadees checked it out a lot, but didn't move in.
-The next year it got invaded by yellow-jackets.
-This year it has attracted a pair of Bewick's wrens.
Of course the houses I've built specifically for wrens, in ideal locations/heights/etc. so far have had no visitors.
It's a gorgeous day upon the grassy knoll, as Amtrak's eastbound Empire Builder races along just east of their Columbus station stop, running only twenty minutes behind today.

Strange looks as I lay flat on the forecourt of the Petrol Station/Cafe in the middle of Pelkosenniemi to capture this group of House Martins (and some Swallows) collecting nest-building mud from a small puddle at the edge of the car park.

The previous day, Amtrak zipped through town missing the 5 car Seattle section of the train. That section (led by AMTK 307) smashed a tree west of Spokane and was towed back to Seattle and added to the next day's train. (307 was left behind)
Led by 3 differently painted Amtrak locomotives, an unusually big 14-car Empire Builder flies through town with temperatures just barely hitting +10.
Of course, in 2022, I would have much rather shot AMTK 301 ("Day 1") leading. But I feel like in several years when the GEs are gone or hard to find I'll feel differently about catching a bloody Genesis 45 leading.
Winds kept the Becker plant steam away from the sun but also chilled the bones stepping outside to get the shot.

Years ago, before double track, there was a tree that blocked the billboard and was a better photo prop. Granted the billboard has changed recently, but I still miss the tree.

Five days after shooting this Empire Builder consist on August 5th, it is again making another round trip on the route from Chicago to the west coast on August 10th. Some strange dispatching delayed the Builder's route into the Minnesota Commercial and down the CP Merriam Park Subdivision to Union Depot.
It's around 3:15pm on June 11, 2021 on a sunny day, perfect for a different take on the Empire Builder as it navigates through Saint Paul down seven hours. Here it works through the Minnesota Commercial yard in the Midway neighborhood.
A builder at work in a Rome backstreet. I liked the way the sun was catching the wooden posts, it made them glow in almost a religious way.
For an account of a few interesting days in Rome:
Amtrak’s westbound Empire Builder passes through a frozen scene as the blue hour descends on Brookfield after one of Wisconsin’s winter ice/snowstorms in February 1983. The two EMD F40PHs have the train at track speed as they pass the north edge of Wirth Park.
