I'm on a mission, perhaps not attainable, to shoot all of the SD70s before they are rebuilt into those wide cab abominations. I'm not sure I'll get it done but we'll see.
Here's one of those spartan cab 70s, of the ex-Conrail variety, pulling mixer 10G into Enola Yard with a cut of Camrail exports fresh out of the GE plant in Erie.
Both of these, the standard cab and the Erie exports are on borrowed time. A two for one!

Cameroon sheep is a resistant, problem free dwarf breed of domestic sheep mainly found in the savanna of Cameroon in West Africa.
The animal is well adapted to hot and humid climates. It has no wool, as this would be a disadvantage to it in the African heat, but thick, tight hair, with an extra undercoat during winter months. This winter coat is shed once spring arrives.
The shoulder height of a male is 25.5 in. (65 cm) with a weigh around 66 lb. (30 kg). Females stand 20 in. (51 cm) at the shoulder and weight around 44 lb. (20 kg). The males have horns and a thicker fur coat than the females. Their most common colour is brown with a black belly, head, and legs.
They live in flocks and their diet consists of grasses, leaves, buds, shoots and herbs.
One or occasionally two lambs are born in late winter or early spring after a gestation period of 5 months. Their average lifespan is between 10 to 12 years, but it can be up to 16 years.
It is believed that there are less than 1,000 of these sheep left in the world but as a domestic breed it is not evaluated by the IUCN.
Day 2 back at work & we were leaving Cameroon at sunset, missed the best of the sunset, but just managed to get out & catch the last of the light & the other part of the mountain was almost visible!

Picture taken in Kribi, Cameroon. The tropics always evoke in me the mystery of nature and make me realise how much there is still to discover behind this untamed beauty.
Portrait of an Moboro girl with amazing scarifications. It is said that it is done for beautification and to ward off evil spirits. Within the Mbororo clans; you can find different patterns in the scarifications as a means of identification.

ortrait of an Mbororo lady.
I met this lady in a small village near the Gerewol site. At the Gerewol, girls can choose their man. And that man can be from Cameroon or one of the neighbouring countries because the Mbororo are also present there. In this case, my best guess was that this girl was from Nigeria because her outfit was very different from the locals, she didn't have scarifications and she spoke english. She probably chose a local man at the Gerewol and moved into his village.

I traveled to South Africa and spent a week there. I always make a point of claiming a window seat. For me, staring out the window to the world below beats any in-flight movie.
Mount Cameroon (4095 m high)
when i told her so, we had a nice chat about it since she was proud to have made it and showed me the features. i asked about the cloth and she said she "brought it from the old country" (cameroon, i think) and it was on bolts of 47+ inches. wish i had gotten her name and given her mine.
So i just got back from Cameroon. It wasn't an easy journey to say the least but 1 of the highlights must have been the opportunity i had to witness the Peuhl / Mbororo guerewol. In one word: AMAZING ! It was the first guerewol that was organised since covid and as a result it was huge. Up to 4 clans gathered in the bush near Poli. Over 2000 people attended. There was even a clan from Nigeria. Before going to sleep; i already wanted to share a picture of one of the beautiful Mbororo girls who attended the festival. They are best known for their amazing scarifications.
