Shot with the Olympus E-5 just outside the east portal of the Hoosac Tunnel in the Berkshire Mountains of western Massachusetts, USA. Just ahead one can make out a bridge crossing the river and the accompanying railroad signals.
A photo I had long wanted to capture. I had been here one time before and the weather was marginal at best. After not running the previous day, see previous post for more details, the train to Plummer departed extremely early the next day allowing us to get a shot westbound across the lake as well as an eastbound shot. In most cases the eastbound is coming back across the lake in much more difficult lighting conditions. However as a result of their early departure from St Maries they were still we lit on their return trip. A bonus for sure.

I've to say goodbye to excessive flickering for a while - still too much work to do plus I've to prepare our vacations. But I won't be completely offline! ;-)
The magnet below the staple "bridge" exerts force to make the coin move. I had placed the coin to the left and it was drawn to the right by the magnet. The coin was moving when this photo was taken.
"Crossing that bridge,
With lessons I've learned.
Playing with fire,
And not getting burned.
I may not know what you're going through.
But time is the space,
Between me and you.
Life carries on... it goes on."

Another moldy oldie. NJDOT GG-1 No. 4881 brings train 3320 out of the South Amboy station on the morning of 24 August 1981, and rolls across Augusta Street, in the era before station expansion resulted in removal of the grade crossing.
An empty CN ore train heads north on Missabe Sub for Fairlane seen here crossing the Cloquet River. This days power consisted of two IC SD40s and a CN SD40-2W. This train will be loaded at United Taconite before returning south again for Proctor.
I am fortunate during the winter months to visit Circle B Bar Reserve 3 or 4 times weekly. It seems to me that I have witnessed substantially more gators crossing trails than in years past . . . though I realize I may have just been more often in the right place at the right time. More photographers metadata follows, if you care for the story:
The trail in this area goes along the shore of Lake Hancock for about 1/4 mile. I had been following a juvenile raccoon for several hundred yards along the water's edge trying to get a clear shot him. As I glanced ahead on the trail, my eyes were caught by the head of this gator about ten feet out from shore. The raccoon was in & out of the brush along the shore and proceeding towards the gator. I watch as the gator began to glide slowly toward shore and climb up to rest it snout on the trunk of a fallen palm tree. The raccoon came out the brush and started to climb over the palm tree trunk when it saw the raccoon . . . now, I can't be sure of the expression on the raccoon's face because his back was to me . . . but, I'm sure his eyes grew as large as saucers because he did a back-flip and dashed off. The gator then crawled over the tree trunk, laid on the trail for several seconds, and then strolled on across the trail. Average day at Circle B Bar Reserve.
