A little visual letting off of steam around the frustrations of having people periodically attempt to have me change my pronunciation and accent. Approx 400mm by 400.
C501 heads west and passes under the last C&O installed signal bridges remaining. However, now that CSX has removed one track through here, one has to wonder how long that will last.
Changed? Yes, I will confess it – I have changed.
I do not love you in the old fond way.
I am your friend still – time has not estranged
One kindly feeling of that vanished day
But the bright glamour which made life a dream,
The rapture of that time, its sweet content,
Like visions of a sleeper's brain they seem--
And yet I cannot tell you how they went.
Why do you gaze with such accusing eyes
Upon me, dear? Is it so very strange
That hearts, like all things underneath God's skies,
Should sometimes feel the influence of change?
The birds, the flowers, the foliage of the trees,
The stars which seem so fixed, and so sublime,
Vast continents, and the eternal seas,--
All these do change, with ever-changing time.
The face our mirror shows us year on year
Is not the same; our dearest aim, or need,
Our lightest thought, or feeling, hope, or fear,--
All, all the law of alternation heed.
How can we ask the human heart to stay,
Content with fancies of Youth's earliest hours?
The year outgrows the violets of May,
Although, maybe, there are no fairer flowers.
And life may hold no sweeter love than this,
Which lies so cold, so voiceless, and so dumb.
And will I miss it, dear? Why yes, we miss
The violets always--till the roses come!

In a pleasant change from the CSX widecabs I normally see on M427 the train ran yesterday with a pair of Pan Am Railways C40-8's and a CSX MP15AC. Since the June 1 CSX takeover little has changed on the east end of Pan Am Railways other than the normal CSX power on M426/M427. In this shot the train is crossing the Merrimack River from Haverhill into Bradford. After what seems like 20 years it looks like the MBTA is finally getting close to finishing the work on the bridge.

C'est encore possible de se promener, il fait doux et humide mais il ne pleut pas encore. La pluie est annoncée pour demain, on verra mais il faudrait.

After putting some space between me and the checkpoint, I changed out of the flamboyant uniform and into my usual outfit. Kusror, who had just arrived from Vala's ship, greeted me at our rendezvous point.
My next assignment: I would be disabling the base of and taking out the leader of the Futurists, a group who worked against our cause and for the remnant Empire. After searching the streets, Kusror and I found the specified location: an old 'abandoned' warehouse, which now served as the base for the Futurists.
I glanced over at Kusror, who nodded, and we both smashed through a window and into the building. We had taken the Futurists by surprise, and I was able to easily take out a few of them and eventually their leader, who was a Chiss sporting some sort of Mandalorian armor.
Just as we placed the bombs to detonate the warehouse, I noticed a hooded figure dash through a side door and into an alleyway. Before the figure disappeared, a flash from what seemed to be a medallion or insignia on their chest blinded me. After recovering from the flash, I pursued the figure through the door, only to find a bustling street full of civilians; the figure had vanished.
Kusror ran out to me. "Let's go, the warehouse will blow any second." Still puzzled about the mysterious figure, Kusror dragged me out the door and into the alleyway. Just a few moments later, I heard an explosion, and looked through the door to see a fiery mess of the Futurists' hideout. The mission was complete.

I'm quite pleased with how this build turned out! It was made for The Survivors RPG Tournament 2, round 2 against [https://www.flickr.com/photos/11287890@N02/]. Tell me what you thought of the build, and be sure to check out my round 1 build here: www.flickr.com/photos/185269945@N06/50672651761/in/datepo...
I've also just hit 200 followers, so expect a post on that and more builds soon (I'm working on my application to Dark Times at the moment!)

A little bit of everything in this consist pulling a train past Tower B12. The new connection from the WC to the CP was under construction and the southern most track has been removed.
Taken from Tower B12.

Crawling through the loop in the wee hours of the morning, brand new GT46Ace MAN003 paired with veteran EMD 4911 make their way through Dubbo with 8874 loaded Manildra feeder train from Coonamble to Manildra.
Sooner or later, all of us feel the need of being in a wind of change and that's Polaris feeling at the moment. Her time here is over and she's ready to go.
So, she is been singing softly to herself this lovely song all the morning: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhJnpSYCiMc
--ooOOoo--
Tarde o temprano, todos nosotros sentimos la necesidad de un cambio de aires y Polaris está justo en ese momento. Su tiempo termina y está lista para dar un nuevo aire a su vida.
Quizás por eso, lleva toda la mañana canturreando esta canción: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhJnpSYCiMc
As a freshly painted UP 8571 leads NS 11Z south through the N&W CPLs in Stuarts Draft, VA, the N&W signals that have stood for decades are due to be taken down as a result of technological “progress.”
Labourers working on a resort construction project,
take a break and head towards their base.. situated on the neighboring island,
where food and lodging is arranged.
Recently, the Labour Ministry reluctantly announced the figures of 'legal' immigrant workers in Maldives at around 75k. Not big.. they must have emphasized, when considering the amount of projects currently underway.
But it is very big, when compared to the local population, currently at around 350k.
That is roughly 1:4 ratio of foreigner to every Maldivian citizen. Young and old included.
In some local village Islands which are in close proximity to construction sites, the figure escalate to alarming levels, which also lead to much tension between groups and hence lead to many unwanted social problems.
There are approximately, 30 newly leased resorts, 11 airports and over 60 harbour dredging projects.. in addition to the numerous building construction projects underway (or about to begin) in the Capital City and in the islands.
If this is not big, then big is certainly on the way shortly.
The Government is taking steps to develop three mega cities in the following zones.. Gulhi Falhu, Bodu Mohoraa and Ihavandhippolhu.
The wind never stops blowing on this spot. It is shaping the landscape and everything around it, including ourselves..

NS D12s light power rolls past Osman. The southern half of the siding here has seen little change over these past few months, which is quite the relief given what's happened at Lodge lately. Osman does certainly feel better in these later spring weeks, far less dreary than when the greenery had yet to return. I hope things stay the way they are here - there's certainly less to change, but that does mean if something does change... well, it won't be hard to see it.
