I turned up very late for this show back in May, but there was still plenty to see. And what about the weather?
The (few) times I have driven the (correct) route to Fort Bragg, I have passed several places I always mentally note to stop at (one day) to photograph, including this Laundromat.
Tonight the decision very well could have killed me. As I was lollygagging around, photographing the whole place, I was very doubtful of the impending "winter weather warnings" for Charlotte and the surrounding areas. I mean, come on, it has been 70 degrees and hardly ever snows here. Well, it did, I had to drive in the worst conditions of my life. It all very well could have been prevented if the lure of the camera wasn't there. ;)
After waiting for the 18:00 Valley Train to leave for Bartlett, F7 4266 gets the go ahead to roll forward to the station. This is one of two former Boston & Maine F7's owned by the 470 Railroad Club, both of which are at North Conway. The 4266 is fully operational, while the 4268, currently on display, is slated to receive the guts of former New Hampshire Northcoast GP9 1757, to become operational again.
Here they are from first to last. These are the classics belle dolls that I have. All are vary each other. And I almost have all of the variants, but I'm missing one. Which I'm sure I will stumble across one day. I love the classics dolls! They are the best playline disney dolls Mattel made in my opinion. As a matter in fact, all the first issue Mattel Disney dolls are wonderful.
A classic collection of rail cars when they were 40 feet long on a quiet day in Wellcox, Vancouver Island February 16, 1985.
A couple sharp looking veterans rest on a side track at Osceola. Despite the Soo heritage of this route, motive power here was all BN/GN this day. September 18, 2015.

Iowa Pacific and Juniata Terminal E8s meet up at Spencer. Painted in Illinois Central and Pennsylvania Railroad colors, the blasts from the pasts were looking fantastic in the Carolina sunlight.

A SEPTA local stops to pick up Philadelphia-bound passengers in Folcroft, PA as an Amtrak Northeast Regional blasts past on the neighboring track. Despite the cloudy weather this was the shot I wanted: a set of Silverliner IV's and an AEM-7, both endangered species, together on the Corridor. I botched this one and learned a lesson: even on cloudy mornings, have the shutter set high when shooting on the NEC. I'll leave it up until I get back to repeat the shot.
L516 is underway during an afternoon rain. I've been shooting these SD75Is for roughly 30 years, some look better than others but I struggle to get excited about shooting them. However, with the rebuild program continuing to convert them into SD75IACCs I'm trying not to take the "originals" for granted. May 21, 2025.
The Paradise local flies through Eddy, Montana, on a rainy September 25, 2013 afternoon, with a carload of enthusiastic photo pacers. And MRL 390 gets a shot too…
