Here's another from the first day of our trip. John and I had some time to kill while waiting for Frank's delayed flight to arrive so made our way up to BNSF's giant Northtown Yard to have a look around. 44th Avenue has a nice sidewalk and passes directly over the diesel shop and affords a view compass south toward the hump, bowl, and main yard tower all set against the backdrop of Minneapolis' downtown skyline five miles away.
Built in the early 1970s on the site of a former Northern Pacific facility, this was one of the first major infrastructure projects of the newly merged Burlington Northern Railroad. The yard presently has a master retarder feeding 7 group retarders with a total of 53 tracks in the bowl (orignally it had 63). A set of remote control units drifts north off track Caboose 4 toward the North Receiver with a pair of faded warbonnet Santa Fe Dash-9s bracketing and SD40-2 in H1 paint.

180 minutes delay allowed the sun to move to the "better" side of the train. High noon at Kleinstaasdorf. 193 733 with the NJ40421.
Hmm. Post may be delayed longer than you think. Spotted on my way to a meeting, hence taken on my iPhone.
CP 132 finally getting back up to track speed after a random split near Whitby.
After a lengthy back and forth with engineer and conductor they figured an operating lever had just uncoupled cars. After putting their train back together they continued on into Oshawa where they had to take the siding around a broken rail on the main.
With a non-trivial delay at Stinson Blvd, the afternoon light ripened to evening light and some cirrus blew past. Once 198 started clearing onto the BN, Minnesota DS gave the go-ahead to 685 to start rolling again. They head through the curve between Polk Street and Central Avenue.

inspired by real life events. I once had a flight delayed because the plane had a problem with its coffee maker!

Our ship was delayed three hours leaving Seattle. We even had to have a diver come in to fix a problem. But the bright spot was literally then getting this view when we finally did sail. Mount Ranier at sunset is pretty fine.
Wasting time during road work in Prudhoe Bay AK. Photo made with iphone6+ and the slowshutter app. Edited in stackables, distressedfx, image blender, union and snapseed.
Colas Rail's 70812 is seen at Cartland working a delayed 6S36 from Dalston Oil Terminal to Grangemouth Ineos.
The train was running over 1.5 hours late at this point which meant it was timed nicely to pass not long after the Statesman tour.

I should know better. The weather starts getting nice and I always think that it can only go one way... nicer and nicer again.
But it is usually a bit more of a seesaw. Up a bit, and then down, and then up again.
At least we know the trend is up more than down, so the hope for better weather is just delayed for the time being.
A very delayed NS 265 heads west through Hammond Indiana on the NS Chicago Line with their Conrail and D&H heritage units.
Found this on my hard drive. its from back in November last year when everyone was posting misty woodlands and my shots were just lost in them, so I didn't post. Thought it was worth it now that I found it again

This Eastern Kingbird struggles to subdue a cicada while its fledgling waits patiently, mouth agape. The insect broke free and started to fly away a number of times, but was recaptured.
From a distance I originally thought it was a big dragonfly, but on viewing the photos I realized it was instead a very uncooperative cicada.

The late running Railway Touring Company 'Cardiff Christmas Express', 1Z80 0822 London Victoria - Cardiff Central, approaches Stroud hauled by No. 6233 'Duchess of Sutherland' on 22nd November 2022. Problems with signalling and watering the loco caused the train to be 35 minutes late at this stage. On the left is the historic Stroud Goods Shed, constructed in 1845 to a design by I.K. Brunel. The Grade II listed structure is now in the custody of Stroud Preservation Trust. Copyright Photograph John Whitehouse - all rights reserved
