The fans are out in force to capture what will soon be history as CSXT's ex Pan Am local BO-1 noses out toward Lowell Street on the South Reading Branch with MEC 517 leading five empty tank tank cars from the Rousselot plant and one spacer after making the trip out to deliver the final load. The plant is winding down operations and will be closing later this year after being in business in some form for 206 years and with rail service for 173 of those!
The conductor will activate the signals and then flag traffic as the train steps out through the middle of Peabody Square in front of the District Courthouse and beneath the 50 ft tall Soldiers and Sailors monument built in 1881 and inscribed with the 71 names of local residents who died in the Civil War. Prior to 2016 if you'd taken this same shot the monument would have been behind the train in an island in the middle of traffic at the center of the square. However in early 2016 a more than $3 million project to reconfigure the square led to it being moved 30 ft back to this new plaza in front of the courthouse that the train cuts right through. This truly unique and remarkable location will see what may very well be its final train ever two days later when the local returns one more time to retrieve the last empty and take it back to Boston ending an era.
Fortunately, there will be no lack of photos, and the memory of the last trains will live on in stills and videos for future generations of fans to marvel over what once.

I stand submissive in my gloom.
I blink my eyes to hide the tears
and smile a smile to hide my fears.

The Consolidated PBY Catalina was a versatile and widely used flying boat and amphibious aircraft during World War II, renowned for its long range and durability. It served multiple roles, including maritime patrol, anti-submarine warfare, search and rescue, and convoy escort, helping to protect Allied naval operations. The Catalina’s ability to land on water made it indispensable for rescuing downed airmen and stranded sailors, earning it a legendary reputation in aviation history.
The Anniston Museum in Alabama has a pretty impressive display of taxidermied animals. I am hoping that all of them died of natural causes and that no one went out hunting for their collection. Anyway, it is all part of the natural history exhibit they have going on. As I walked through the wonderful display, I found this scene between two foxes, it was so adorable I had to capture it. Then once I got home I thought that it may be perfect for this week's Flickr Friday together.
This image was captured in RAW and processed with Linux using RawTherapee. I processed it with a match low ISO preset.
This image captures the iconic modern skyline of London, dominated by The Shard, the tallest building in Western Europe. The dramatic sky in the background enhances the futuristic architecture of the buildings. On the left, the distinctive, egg-shaped London City Hall seamlessly blends into the surroundings. The River Thames adds a calm, reflective quality to the scene, while the green trees provide a touch of nature amidst the urban landscape.
---- some short stories, collected while walking down the street ... in search of fleeting moments ...(they are photographic shots taken one-two months ago, scenes of daily life obviously captured before the current restrictions, implemented to stem the spread of the now worldwide infection caused by the covid-19) ....

---- alcune storie minime, raccolte camminando per la strada ... alla ricerca di attimi fugaci-s/fuggenti ... (sono scatti fotografici realizzati uno-due mesi addietro, scene di vita quotidiana catturate ovviamente prima delle attuali restrizioni, attuate per arginare il dilagare della infezione oramai mondiale, causata dal covid-19) ....
