A pair of QJs take a rest at Jingpeng station, having just crossed the famous Pass.
Here the locos took water and coal as required, and had their fires cleaned before pressing on home to Haoluku, which was the next depot and crew change point.
Within a couple of months, steam would be finished here, but in November 2004, some trains were led by QJs, some by diesel and some by one of each, presumably for crew training. The nice lighting here was cruelly provided by an approaching diesel.

A day after a snowstorm dumped a foot of snow CMQ crews are hard at work cleaning up Millinocket yard.
At the monument for the Oklahoma City Bombing victims, there is a fence where people leave momentos. I suppose they want to leave something particularly meaningful to them...something to express their feelings about this tragedy and the innocent lives taken.
I suspect a "Clean and Serene for 90 Days" key tag was very meaningful for the one who left it.
The sun sets over the hills of Bantay and Pagudpud, rural towns on the northern most part of Luzon Island, Ilocos Norte, Philippines. The country invested a lot of money to harness the wind and sunshine that is ubiquitos in this part of the Philippines. This is the last in a series of shots taken at this location.

This is nest #2 on my morning photo run that I do daily.........weather permitting. This is the first opportunity I have had for a clean shot. Looks like they should be fledging soon.
Deep in the Jersey Jungle is SK-39 switching out Clean Earth in Kearny, NJ. Here the 39 is pulling a cut of loaded gons off the industry lead with the Pulaski Skyway lurking in the background.
I noticed that I was avoiding using the thermos I usually keep tea in because it was affecting the flavor of anything I kept in it. Time for a cleaning. I use a product called dip-it, which contains sodium perborate, sodium carbonate, and sodium silicate. It does a great job and is fun to watch as well. It's an entirely different kind of tempest in the tea ware.
