Regina lost her foot in a lawn mower accident last year and now has a prosthetic foot. It didn't seem to set her back during her Aikido class this afternoon. She was an amazing little girl as you can see. She even throws fully grown men into the air!!
On my semi-long drive back to Gastonia from Lincolnton, I couldn't help but think how happy I was to have met her. It's been a pretty horrible day today but thinking of her reminds me that tomorrow always holds a chance for a better one.

I remember taking this photo and thinking to myself "why am I taking a photo of a boring Class 86".
Well, I had family on the train which just happened to be the 13.50 from Euston to Manchester via Stoke on Sunday 2nd December, 1984.
I suppose it's over thirty years ago now, and I do like the drivers casual action with a cup of tea in his hand as he approaches the cab of 86246 (ex E3149) for a job he's probably done endless times. I do remember the fact that the train was made up of all Mk1 stock....it also states this on the back of my photo !
If I see a Class 86 now, I stand back and look in admiration as some are still earning their keep, even though they are over fifty years old.
PKP 3,000 V DC overhead Class EU07 2,680 hp Bo-Bo No.EU07-305 (with ribbed sides and LED lights in new rectangular surrounds) in PKP Intercity blue & grey livery at Poznan Glowny, 19 November 2017. In the late 1950's the PKP wanted an advanced electric locomotive and bought 20 EU06 mixed traffic locomotives built by English Electric's Vulcan Foundry in 1962-65 which were a DC export version of the AC British Railways Class 83. PKP then procured Polish built versions of the EU06 - 488 EU07's built by Pafawag and Cegielski in 1963-1994 and 200 5,400 hp duplex ET21 heavy freight and coal Bo-Bo+Bo-Bo units (two EU07's joined together) built by Cegielski in 1977-83. In 1995-2003 ZNTK modified 97 EU07 locos to express passenger EP07 locos. The 15 EP08 locos built by Pafawag in 1972-76 were newbuild express passenger versions of EU07's. The final development of the type is the 3,916 hp EP09 Class, 47 being built by Pafawag in 1986-97. The class, with a revised body, was intended to be a completely new state-of-the-art design but a shortage of funds led to the adoption of many features from the EP07/08's. However, the mixture of new and old technology was not a happy one and many subsequent modifications had to be made.
BR (Swindon) "Trans Pennine" Class 124 5-car dmu Nos.E51961 (124/1), E51983 (124/2), E59768 (180), E51971 (124/2), E51966 (124/1) in BR Inter City Rail Blue & Grey livery and all yellow front ends descending Miles Platting Bank nearing Manchester (Victoria) on a Hull (Paragon) - Leeds (City) - Liverpool (Lime St) service, 07/78. Scanned slide taken with an Exacta.
Class 24 24147 looked somewhat the worse for wear when pictured on Motherwell shed on May 23rd 1976. It was officially withdrawn two months later, and eventually cut-up at Doncaster during November 1977.
British Rail Class 321 'dusty bin' 4 car 25kV EMU (Electric Multiple Unit) 321336 working the 12 car 1P65 19:30 (20:30 RT) Abellio Greater Anglia Norwich- London Liverpool Street service train at Colchester Station on The Great Eastern Main Line in Essex (UK).
Abellio Greater Anglia Norwich- London Liverpool Street service trains of course should be worked by Class 90 traction and Mk3a coaches but this particular replacement train was allocated an uncomfortable and non air conditioned outer suburban EMU due to the 19:00 ex Norwich service cancelled due to staff shortages (allegedly) and much to the disgust of several patrons.

A scotrail 47 is in charge of an Interregional service while a class 45 stands by, big Sulzer heaven. I cant quite make out which 47 it is the number doesnt tie up with the name. Any clues?
