A few miles south of Little Lake M-35 swings from the west side of the tracks to the east side if you're going south and offers a nice spot to shoot north bounds. Here L549 briefly appears out of the thick fog before disappearing back into it.
One thing that particularly impressed me (as a German) in Tokyo, was the speed and efficiency in which the railroad crossing gates came down, the train crossed and the gate was fully open again in less than a minute. The relatively high frequency of trains also meant I did not have to wait too long for this shot.
It was a 2 seconds handheld long exposure at 12mm (24mm equivalent). Shooting handheld long exposures with the Olympus cameras feels almost like cheating.
BKWA is seen crossing the Penobscot River from Brewer into Bangor. A year later in 2014 things were much different as the mill in Bucksport only had few months left in operation.

Westbound KJ crossing the Spoon River at Seville. Very little fall color along the KJ route this year!
Crossing the River Irwell south of Ewood Bridge on the 19th August 2015, Bulleid Light Pacific 'West Country Class' no. 34092 'Wells' hauls the 10.00 departure from Heywood towards its destination at Rawtenstall.
The viaduct opened on 12 October 1874, part of the LSWR's routes to Plymouth and Bude via Okehampton. It originally carried a single track, part of the Exeter to Plymouth railway of the LSWR, but the track was doubled in 1878 when a steel viaduct of similar design was constructed next to it and the two were joined. The construction of the second line was conducted whilst the original line remained open. In order to dispense with the need for high scaffolding the trestles were erected by means of derricks mounted on the original structure. The trusses were constructed in a railway siding and lifted by means of two heavily-ballasted, rail-mounted cranes that were then pushed onto the original bridge and swung out into position by the cranes. Each truss could be thus installed within around two hours and thirty minutes, meaning that the work could be arranged around the railway timetable to avoid the need to close the line at any stage. The method, devised by engineer T Wrightson and supervised on site by W Jacomb, worked well and the new bridge was complete within 16 weeks of starting work.
On 5 May 1931 a carpenter, F. Rook, was killed in an accident whilst replacing timber bridge decking on the down line. Passenger services on the line were withdrawn in 1968, after which the line reverted to a single track and the viaduct was used predominantly for shunting freight trains serving the ballast quarry at Meldon. In 1970, a road was built across the viaduct to permit lorries access to the Meldon Dam construction site. The bridge was assessed in 1990 as being too weak to carry trains and the rails were removed. Six years later, the viaduct was refurbished and re-opened as part of The Granite Way, a combined cycle and foot path. It is now a scheduled monument.
The viaduct is now owned by the Meldon Viaduct Company, a not-for-profit organisation set up in February 1999 to safeguard the viaduct.
At various times since the closure of the line, local people and enthusiasts have campaigned for its re-opening, a campaign which gained added prominence in 2014 after severe winter storms severed the Great Western Main Line at Dawlish in February. According to Network Rail, the condition of Meldon Viaduct was a significant obstacle to the re-opening of the line and it would need to be replaced before trains could run on the line.

Precarious crossing I made carrying Camera etc., finished having to crawl across-want even sure how deep this stream (burn) was, all I thought was don't fall in as got camera in hand, Phew!!
The great migration is without a doubt one of the most amazing natural phenomena I have ever witnessed! I've tried to capture it to the best of my ability! I hope you all enjoy this series!

People crossing the street, from Harrah's to the Mirage. Street crossings in Las Vegas are like an impending cattle stampede. The light goes green, you have :30 secs to cross, the next thing you know, you're in a sea of humanity, scrambling across 8 lanes of traffic, looking for the other sidewalk. :)

This little crossing ferries people across the water of the estuary from Pentire to Crantock (Newquay, Cornwall) at high tide. At low tide boards are placed across so you can walk over the river to the beach.

The CERA special crossing 63rd and entering the lower yard running on overhead trolley power. Motorman was John Stiles, now retired, and the man sitting in the "Railfan Seat" is the late John Humiston, an early CERA member and excellent photographer of traction subjects as well as steam road material, and a very nice guy!
The Queensferry Crossing (formerly the Forth Replacement Crossing) is a road bridge in Scotland. It was built alongside the existing Forth Road Bridge and carries the M90 motorway across the Firth of Forth between Edinburgh, at South Queensferry, and Fife, at North Queensferry.
Proposals for a second Forth Road crossing were first put forward in the 1990s. But no action was taken until structural issues were discovered in 2004. In 2006-2007 Transport Scotland carried out a study to examine the options and in December 2007, the decision was made to proceed with a replacement bridge. The following year it was announced that the existing bridge would be retained as a public transport link. The Forth Crossing Act received Royal Assent in January 2011. In April 2011, the Forth Crossing Bridge Constructors Consortium were awarded the contract and construction began in late Summer/Autumn of 2011.
The Queensferry Crossing is a three-tower cable-stayed bridge, with an overall length of 2.7 kilometres (1.7 miles). Around 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) of new connecting roads were built, including new and upgraded junctions at Ferrytoll in Fife, South Queensferry and Junction 1A on the M9.
The bridge was first due to be completed by December 2016, but this deadline was extended to August 2017 after several delays. It is the third bridge across the Forth at Queensferry, alongside the Forth Road Bridge completed in 1964, and the Forth Bridge completed in 1890. Following a public vote, it was formally named on 26 June 2013 and opened to traffic on 30 August 2017. The official opening was carried out on 4 September 2017 by Queen Elizabeth II, fifty-three years to the day after she opened the adjacent Forth Road Bridge.
Queensferry, also called South Queensferry or simply "The Ferry", is a town to the west of Edinburgh, traditionally a royal burgh of West Lothian. It lies ten miles to the north-west of Edinburgh city centre, on the shore of the Firth of Forth between the Forth Bridge, Forth Road Bridge and the Queensferry Crossing. The prefix South serves to distinguish it from North Queensferry, on the opposite shore of the Forth. Both towns derive their name from the ferry service established by Queen Margaret in the 11th century, which continued to operate at the town until 1964, when the Road Bridge was opened.
Its population at the 2011 census was 9,026 based on the 2010 definition of the locality which in addition to the burgh includes Dalmeny.
A northbound BNSF freight passes through Ilmon, CA shortly after crossing the Tehachapi Mountains on the UP Mojave Sub. The train is crossing Caliente Creek which is flowing quite well on this wet winter day.

This man is on the wide pedestrian/cycle path on the opposite side of the causeway that separates the bulk of the estuary (in background) and McCormacks Bay (this side). There is also the main road from the city to the suburbs of Redcliff, Sumner, Scarborough etc.

British Railways Gorton 1952 built EM1 class 76 1500V DC electric locomotive 76041 (26041) is captured at 13.30 travelling light engine, passing over Kendall Green Crossing on the Wombwell Main to West Silkstone Junction (Wath Branch) section of the Woodhead route, heading east towards Wath.
This section of the Woodhead 1500DC system (Wath Branch) would close completely 15 months later at 13.30 on the 17th July 1981, after the west bound passage of banking engines 76012 & 76007, which were travelling light engines.
76041 was new to Wath on 21/04/52 withdrawn from Reddish 2/11/80
