There haven't been many Dash 9s to shoot in the Twin Cities in recent years, but since moving to Missouri I've seen a ton of them!
All three of Montana Rail Link Dash 1 rebuilds (SD19-1s, and GP19-1) lead a Garrison Turn out of Helena, Montana. The trio is working hard up the Mullan Pass grade at Tobin, Montana. The two SD19-1s (nos. 651 and 652) have survived, and now belong to the Columbia Basin Railroad. Unfortunately, the GP19-1 (no. 151) was scrapped after being wrecked near Huntley, Montana.
On my mission to actually shoot P98 facing the correct way in golden hour, I did manage to grab this shot of them working the yard with a spectacular sunset in the background (and some extremely irritating lens flare). The leading dash 9 had probably the worst and most screwed up horn I've ever heard in person.
This is one of the rare shots that I have managed to get of Dash. True to his name, he barely sits still! He is only 18 months old and still very much a puppy :)
NS 822 with a very long coal train with 5 engines and 250 coal car blast through Petersburg. This was a really nice train for me because i like catch the dash 9 on NS before there all AC44C6M, and had a ACe throwed in there to.

On the night of March 27, 1996 I had the scanner on and heard this guy requesting his meal enroute as he was coming through Rochelle, IL. By this time after the Union Pacific merger, the usual "beans at Dekalb" was denied. But on this evening, the dispatcher let him make the stop. Being a fan on the C&NW Dash 8's--and especially the only one that ended with the number '23', I made my way down to Dekalb to find them behind The Junction shopping plaza on the west side of town. A time exposure, coupled with a clear 25 bulb on the nose, produced this view of the C&NW 8523 and 8718 against the Northern Illinois night.

Female Blue Dasher. Female dragonflies generally hide, so they are more difficult to find and photograph, than the males who often perch and display prominently. This female blue dasher is very different than the more flamboyant blue males (see photo in the comment box) but those eyes are beautifully colored.

The Blue dasher (Pachydiplax longipennis) is a dragonfly of the skimmer family. It is common and widely distributed in the United States.
Mature males develop a bluish-white pruinescence on the back of the abdomen and, in western individuals, on the thorax. They display this pruinescence to other males as a threat while defending territories at the edge of the water.[2]

The 367-80 was a prototype aircraft developed to prove Boeing's ability to produce a jet airliner and aerial refueling tanker. It's one of my favorite aircraft at the Udvar-Hazy center.
The model is at ~1/64 scale, similar to last year's B-52 and RC-2 airliner. It took about a month and a half to build, and it's my second largest aircraft at 3,355 parts.
A collection of Dash 8's....

Alexandria Dash 302, a 2011 hybrid Gillig 40' bus, on route 102 at King St-Old Town Metro Station in Alexandria on Thursday, June 9th, 2022.
After arriving back into town, A700 pulls south of Junta to shove the train back into North Yard. The pair of Dash 3 EMDs sounded good with nearly 40 cars up the steep grade of the yard lead.
Alexandria Dash 801, a 2020 electric New Flyer XE40, on route 31 at the King St-Old Town Metro Station in Alexandria on Thursday, June 9th, 2022.
With the heat index at around 104, this Blue Dasher was obelisking, or prevent overheating in the Dixon Gardens in Memphis, Tennessee.

Good morning and Happy Dragonfly Thursday. Today's featured dragonfly is the female Blue Dasher (Pachydiplax longipennis), along with the male of which I included a photo in the comment section with another female for comparison purposes.
The female (and immature males) are mostly brown in color, with a double row of yellowish lines down the dorsal surface of the abdomen. There are also yellowish markings down each side of the abdomen as viewed laterally. Eyes of the females are green to brown, and as with the males, the face is white.
I hope you enjoy this short series on this very common North American dragonfly and find the commentary in the comment section informative.
Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you have a truly great day.
