Berkshire and Eastern Railroad train ED9 has finally arrived at its destination where they will interchange with the Pioneer Valley Railroad and work Sullivan Scrap. They dropped their train up in front of the passenger station at the north end of what remains of the former Boston and Maine yard and have run light to the south end to run around. They are seen just south of the North Canal Street grade crossing at about MP S7.3 on the Conn River Mainline in this view taken from beside the Pioneer Valley Railroad's connecting track. The stone arches carry the former Connecticut River Railroad over the water of the Third Level Canal. To see another view of the PV here check out this shot: flic.kr/p/2o9SGrK for reference I'm standing right beside where the yellow center beam is in this older photo.
Looking nothing like the the old Pan Am, ED9 features two 'new' units brought in by Genesee and Wyoming, the B&E's parent. Leading is Bay Line 3018 an EMD GP40-2 originally blt. Oct. 1973 as DTI 418. BAYL became part of the Genesee and Wyoming family in 2005 when the holding company purchased parent Rail Management Corp. which itself had purchased the former Atlanta and St. Andrews Bay Railroad from Stone Container Corp. in 1994. Trailing is OVR 3029 a GP40-2W blt. May 1974 as CN 9426 and dressed in GWRR orange lettered for the Ottawa Valley Railrod.
Since Berkshire and Eastern Railroad has taken over operation of the Pan Am Southern property operations seem to have gotten much more predictable and consistent. At least outwardly their appears to be a bit more hustle and business seems to be on the uptick so hears hoping this this is a harbinger of even bigger and better things to come for the west end of the old Boston and Maine!

Crossing the Tower Bridge. Used a fisheye for this one. I've found it works pretty well in low light and I like the effect in the city. - London, England

A man crosses Lexington on a winter afternoon in New York City
I made this photograph on one of the coldest in a string of very cold winter days in New York City between Christmas and New Year's Day. On such days we still were out walking around Manhattan quite a bit, but we also sought out shelter and warmer activities. On this day the plan was to visit an exhibit at the Guggenheim. We took the subway up there and arrived late enough that we had to join a line waiting, we presumed, for folks in the already-crowded building to leave so that we could enter. After fifteen or twenty minutes in the line, standing in freezing wind, we realized that the line was moving at all and we bailed out for a nearby restaurant where we could warm up.
After lunch we ended up on Lexington, where there was plenty to see and photograph. Many of my photographs on this afternoon took advantage of winter sunlight obliquely slanting across buildings and windows and reflecting onto the sidewalk and street. However, the light for this photograph was different — a sort of soft glow filtering down from the strip of sky above the street. This is a busy place, but during a momentary break in the pedestrian and vehicle traffic this solitary man slowly crossed the street in front of me.

I've never done a Brickheadz before! Never even owned one of the sets. My partner got one and quite liked it, though, so I made their favorite Animal Crossing character into a (mostly) Brickheadz build. I didn't use the typical Brickheadz pixelated eyes, though. I used these Dots Series 4 tiles because they convey Marshal's features nearly perfectly.

Devou Park never disappoints as literally minutes after I arrived, CSX 3396 leads a long manifest slowly over the elevated rails at Covington, KY.
Crossing along the Forney Creek Trail, Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The trail includes several crossings, none of which are too terrible in typical weather (and none were bad during this trip, even considering the abnormally high rain lately). I've found that hiking in Chacos (or other water shoes) works best...most people spend an inordinate amount of time changing out of boots, or try hoping from rock to rock (which inevitably ends up soaking your boots or worse).

The High Sierra Trail crosses alpine terrain near Kaweah Gap
I have been reviewing my older archives of raw files recently, partly because it simply is important to do so from time to time, and partly because I'm between locations and looking for additional images to work on. Any time I go back through the older files I find things that are interesting, and occasionally I even find some excellent photographs that I overlooked the first time around.
This photograph comes from 2008. To me it seems more interesting as a record of a particular place and a particular event than on a purely photographic basis. (I could have wished for a more interesting sky!) This was my second crossing of the High Sierra Trail, which we followed from the west side of Sequoia National Park, across the entire range, to the summit of Mount Whitney, and then down to Whitney Portal. On this trip I traveled with a group of long-time backcountry friends... unlike the first time I did this trip perhaps 25 years earlier, when I did it with my wife. I made this photograph from the top of Kaweah Gap, the pass through the Great Western Divide before dropping into Big Arroyo. The photograph looks back to the west, across the trail we had ascended to reach this point.

Caribou Crossing Bridge, Carcross, Yukon Territory, Canada. Historic truss bridge on the White Pass and Yukon Route Railway. The town of Carcross is about 70 miles north of Skagway, Alaska.
Carcross, originally known as Caribou Crossing, is an unincorporated community in the Territory of Yukon, Canada on Bennett Lake and Nares Lake. It has a population of 431 (June 2008) and is home to the Carcross/Tagish First Nation.
It is 74 km (46 miles) south-southeast by the Alaska Highway and the Klondike Highway from Whitehorse, at 60°10′12″N 134°42′13″W. The south end of the Tagish Road is in Carcross. Carcross is also on the White Pass and Yukon Route railway.
Caribou Crossing was a fishing and hunting camp for Inland Tlingit and Tagish people. 4,500-year-old artifacts from aboriginal people living in the area have been found in the region.
Caribou Crossing was named after the migration of huge numbers of caribou across the natural land bridge between Lake Bennett and Nares Lake. That caribou herd was decimated during the Klondike Gold Rush, but a recovery program raised the number of animals to about 450.
The modern village began in 1896, during the Klondike Gold Rush. At the time, Caribou Crossing was a popular stopping place for prospectors going to and from the gold fields of Dawson City.
Caribou Crossing was also a station for the Royal Mail and the Dominion Telegraph Line, and it served as a communications point on the Yukon River.
In 1904, Caribou Crossing was renamed Carcross as a result of some mail mix-ups with the district of Cariboo in nearby British Columbia, Canada.
Silver mining was promoted nearby in Conrad, Yukon in the early 1900s, but there was little to be found and mining efforts soon ended. Mineral exploration continues today, but tourism is far more important to the economy of the community. The book Fractured Veins & Broken Dreams by Murray Lundberg details a nearly complete history of Conrad.
Carcross relies on tourism to support the local economy. It lies on the Klondike Highway between Whitehorse and Skagway, Alaska and offers a variety of historic attractions and outdoor activities. Popular with road traffic including tour buses and RVs, in 2007 the White Pass railway also resumed service to Carcross railway station.
Just north of the town is the Carcross Desert, often referred to as the "world's smallest desert."

Cinderland Crossing signal box was located by the Down Main line alongside Seamon's Road level crossing at Altrincham. Wednesday 5th July 1989
Cinderland Crossing signal box and was a London & North Western Railway Company type 5 design (although fitted with non standard finials) fitted with an 18 lever London & North Western Railway Company frame replacing an earlier signal box a few feet closer to the level crossing. The Skelton Junction to Arpley Junction line was closed to traffic at 12:00 hours on 6th July 1985 and the signal box was officially closed on the following day
The signal box's missing nameboard was a London Midland & Scottish Railway Company post-1935 design which showed the name as Cinderland Crossing, the name used in the London Midland & Scottish Railway Company's 1931 and 1937 sectional appendices and supplements. However when British Railways issued the system wide sectional appendices in 1960 it was named Sinderland Crossing, remaining named thus in the 1969, 1973, 1977 and 1985 appendices and supplements
The level crossing gates were hand operated but were released by 14 lever in the signal box's frame. The wicket gates were also interlocked with the signalling, being released by number 1 and 2 levers
