found at the intersection of Lynchburg Highway (Hwy 50) & Winchester Highway (Hwy 64) just east of Fayetteville, TN...
A loaded unit ethanol train rolls southbound down the mainline, with the train stretched between the Ashton and Berkeley mill villages in Cumberland, Rhode Island.
This part of Rhode Island, and southern Massachusetts, along the Blackstone River was a big money maker for the rail industry with the mills and factories strewn along the river. But, as usual, all that is good must come to an end sooner or later and the factories and mills shutdown for good. The two "straight railed" customer turnouts on the right side of this photo used to serve Peterson Puritan Aerosol, whom went out of business, and then KIK Custom Products for a brief time before they too shut down.
Out of view, and just north of the second "straight railed" turnout is another one for Owens Corning Fiberglass. The factory melted glass into marbles which were shipped to the mill just across the tracks that then melted the marbles and made fiberglass. Both the mill and factory received rail service until business tanked and ultimately shut them down as well. Owens Corning however still thrives, just elsewhere.
On the left side of the photo, and out of view, are two other turnouts that have since been completely ripped up. They used to serve Okonite, an electrical wire and cable manufacturer. The company is still there but has gone to truck for shipping and receiving instead. One of the tracks was re-installed about 10 years ago for Dean Warehousing that moved into some vacant space behind the Okonite factory. They received cars of coiled wire a handful of times per week. But, just a few years ago that too was ripped back up and straight railed, as Dean moved out and went elsewhere.
Sadly, the potential to service five different customers on this hardly quarter mile section of mainline is a thing of the past. Thankfully though, the railroad has grown and generated more customers along the way.

Just wanted To Post an update on my WRB, now with small changes to the face and legs , but same attitude, hope you like it
Unlike the previous wall with its confused message(s), this is quite clear. Last year I missed the eventful months of Gezi protests and wider social and political unrest. On my next visit I discovered these inconspicuous stencil graffiti, leaving little doubt what it's about. In a largely peaceful and friendly Istanbul, those were some signs of changing times...
"I don't feel the sun's coming out today...
It's staying in... It's gonna find another way
As I sit here in this misery
I don't think I'll ever know, oh Lord
See the sun from here"

There comes a time in the life of every photographer when he (or she) decides that it's time to 'play' with their zoom lens. This is one of my early attempts. It was taken in a church in Delft in The Netherlands. My camera was on a tripod. I think the exposure was about two seconds, zooming only for the second half of that (as near as I could estimate it).

Taken a few months ago, an eastbound South Shore train departs the Hammond station after a portion of the platforms were removed.
26th February 2018. Here you can see BR 4MT 4-6-0 No.75078 charging up the Oakworth banking towards Haworth with a mixed goods train. This was not a normal day for the Keighley And Worth Valley Railway as the 30742 Photo Group had hired the BR Standard 4 to run all day on the KWVR line as the railway was closed to the public.
I felt quite pleased with this photograph as most of the photographers had stayed on the other side of the line so they would get more light from the sun in their shots. However, the organisers encourage you to move around and not just get the standard shot. We had already done a few runs with 75078 were I had taken some photographs on the other side - so now it was time to think outside the box.
When I edited the picture in LightRoom I just did my usual editing but also lightened the shadows to make the scene more acceptable.
This was First Badgerline's depot at Wells in 2003 and represented a changing of the guard as Leyland Lynxes (the post dereg single deck of choice for Badgerline) made way for newer types.
Still proclaiming allocation to Marlborough Street depot in Bristol is former Cityline Lynx 62610 F610RTC.
The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.

During my late teens I spent some time working for a local pizza joint. One night a guy came in and asked me if I could give him change for a twenty. I complied and counted out the smaller bills. While I was counting the dough, he asked me if I could give him a couple of fives in place of the ten. All the time he kept up a lively banter. When I'd finished the transaction, he pulled out another twenty and said he forgot he had to pay some money to a friend and would appreciate change for that one too. I sighed and counted out the bills. All the while he kept up the cheerful conversation and once again he asked me to break down one of the tens. Then he asked me to give him a few bucks worth of quarters for the cigarette machine and that was it.
The next morning the manager of the store informed me that I was twenty bucks short when the receipts were tallied up. I knew immediately that I'd been had. To this day I'm not sure how the guy conned me, but con me he did.
Seeing the shady looking guy above at one of counters at the Ferry Building brought back some serious memories.

Found on trackwork during a weekend possession, these two loco types posing side by side is an uncommon sight. They also represent two significant locomotive classes that led to major change on their respective systems.
On the right is B61. The B class, introduced in 1952, was the first main line diesel on the Victorian broad gauge system, beginning dieselisation and the eventual demise of steam. The B class were also both the first GM-powered locos with tri-motor bogies (Co-Co) and the only locos with twin "bulldog" cabs worldwide. B61 was the second member of the B class and is 61 years old!
On the left is an 81 class. The 81 class was the first loco type in Australia fitted with electronic wheel-creep traction control (Superseries). Introduced on the NSW standard gauge system in 1982, they heralded a dramatic change in freight train operation in the state. This subsequently had an impact almost as big as the replacement of steam on the NSW network.
I tend to think of the 81 class as a modern loco, but the class is now 31 years old while 8171 is 28 years old. Still only half the age of the B class!
Previously, Delta has already revealed that capacity is to be reduced into the UK for the upcoming Winter 2016/2017 schedule following the United Kingdom's decision to leave the European Union.
Airline Route has published two different schedule changes mainly affecting its London Heathrow routes, the two schedule changes are during the Winter 2016 timeframe and Summer 2017 timeframe.
For the Winter 2016/2017 schedule, Delta is to switch operational aircraft on both its London Heathrow to Detroit and Minneapolis routes. The changes commence from 29th October 2016 until 25th March 2017, which include:
-Detroit: DL18/19 converts from Boeing 767-400ER to Boeing 767-300ER operation, converting back to Boeing 767-400ER for the Summer 2017 schedule whilst DL16/17 will operate utilise Boeing 767-300ER's.
-Minneapolis: DL10/11 converts from Boeing 767-400ER to Boeing 767-300ER operation.
The Summer 2017 schedule sees Delta recommencing its 3rd daily flight between London Heathrow and Atlanta, following the announcement that Virgin Atlantic will be transferring one of two daily flights back over to Delta.
DL28/29 will continue to utilise Boeing 767-400ER's, DL30/31 will utilise Boeing 767-300ER's, however DL32/33 will utilise Airbus A330-300's.
For the first time since Northwest Airlines and Delta Air Lines merger, Airbus A330's operated by the US carrier will make a comeback after a lengthy absence (not including emergency diversions). Prior to the merger, Northwest Airlines regularly utilised Airbus A330's into London, first at Gatwick during the Bermuda II Agreement and finally London Heathrow from 2008 following the introduction of the EU-US Open Skies Agreement.
During the merger of Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines as both fleets started to be integrated, Airbus A330's were largely concentrated operating from major SkyTeam hubs, however with the fleet integration, Boeing 767's beame concentrated on other routes.
Delta currently operates the largest Boeing 767 fleet in the world with 91 in service, which includes 12 Boeing 767-300's, 58 Boeing 767-300ER's and 21 Boeing 767-400ER's.
November Eight Three Six Mike Hotel is one of 21 Boeing 767-400ER's in service with Delta, delivered new to the carrier in December 2000 and she is powered by 2 General Electric CF6-80C2B7F engines.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all MY FLICKR FRIENDS - Blessings to you.
A stick insect in the act of changing it's skin.
Endless price changes over the years make this menu board slightly confusing, and a wonderland of different stick-on numbers.

No matter, a meal at Clyde's Drive In, while cool Lake Michigan breezes waft through your car, is one of the best you can have.
Direct Rail Services Class 66 No. 66424 passes through the new Bromsgroive station on 12th July 2016, which had formally opened just a few hours earlier, while hauling 'Tesco Express' 4V38 0820 Daventry - Wentloog. The train is being diverted from what is presently the down fast onto the down goods loop. However, the work taking place alongside platform 4 is creating the trackbed for a new down fast line, the turnout for which will be by the old station situated just around the corner in the background. Part of it's now closed footbridge can just be made out above the rear of the train. Copyright Photograph John Whitehouse - all rights reserved
