On a cloudy afternoon, Trona 2006 leads a train into Searles. Here the crew will pick up a coal train to return to the plant in Trona.
Taken in April of 2025, in less than a year so much has changed for this railroad. At the time it was known that Trona was looking for replacement power, and later that year they would lease two SD60s and an SD60M from UP. The addition of SD60s to the roster would see the former UP SD40s getting scrapped. Around the same time, the lead motor in this photo would get sold to a leasing company, though it is currently still at the railroad's shops being repaired. While it certainly seemed like the replacements were coming soon for the rest of the roster, or so one would think, a completely unexpected turn happened.
As a lot of you may already know, rumor has been recently going around Trona will be ceasing operations in the coming months. With global competition and other economic challenges, such as government regulations, both soda ash and boric acid production at Searles Valley Minerals has become much more expensive. With energy costs being around half of the cost of production for the company, and rising prices, SVM has to permanently lay off hundreds of employees. To my understanding, the main plant employs about 540 people, 300 or more will be laid off. With this also comes a huge cut in production, and in an announcement it was stated this would cause the shutdown of Trona and the Argus Cogeneration Plant. Unfortunately, it seems there is really no way out for Searles Valley Minerals, and unfortunately this might be the nail in the coffin for the town. With most of Trona already being a ghost town, and the company being in this state, I can only pray for the best for the residents.
The driver of 150270 changes ends at Penarth station ready to run back towards Cardiff. I had hoped to grab a 769 here but both trains to arrive during my brief visit were Class 150's. 2K04 18:48 Penarth to Caerphilly.
Going from winter to spring once more, nature is coming out of its winter stupor and will soon show more color again
Having just sheltered from a passing squall in Charlie's Cave near Sunnyside Beach in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, the sun came back out and I took a moment to dry off a bit and get this image. Just west of this location is Logie Head and after that point, the rocks much more resemble the ones around Portknockie. Here the rock structure is more like that found at Sandend. The change is so sudden and distinct.
After charging in the creek after salmon and missing on several swats, this lad decided to take a moment and reevaluate his fishing style…while also contemplating switching over to eating old fat Italian guys!

The colours changed as sunrise approached, no tidal pools but rippled sand added texture. Just before sunrise on my local beach.
For many years, the right side was 'up', and left was 'down'. Then the tree fell, and the direction of growth changed ninety degrees.
One minute later a slightly different POV more directly shares the brilliant day that it was --- layers of fog be damned....
We make the story when we operate the shutter....
CN L517 heads south through Ivanhoe with a GTW GP9r, CN SD60F, and a CN SD40-2. Originally the SD60F was supposed to lead but they put the GTW unit on the front.

Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of Chances before
But I'm not gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'
Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your Eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind
Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't cry cause I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind
Wisconsin & Southern's Janesville bound freight, eases around the curve in Milton's yard limits on a beautiful autumn afternoon. This was the last time these trees were this vibrant with autumn's color and I'm hopeful one day they will be again, in this changing climate we live in.

With the rest of the country basking in record temperatures, in Scotland it was time to get ready for winter and a change of plumage

Feliz Primavera para el hemisferio Sur!!
Happy first day of Spring for the South Hemisphere!!
And welcome Fall to the Northern Hemisphere!!
Y bienvenido el otoño en el hemisferio Norte.
Being able to walk the shoreline nearly every day provides an enlightening perspective on natural cycles of change.
I don't think it's good for our mental health to grow up in a world of static flat rectangles. It disconnects us from the spirit of the universe.
Encore en hiver ou au printemps, je ne sais pas mais c'est sûr, on est sur le chemin du changement!

Still in winter or in spring, I don't know, but for sure, we are on our way for changing.

I love that I can walk outside in the mornings and the air tastes good, instead of taking my breath away...
