UP 1843 leads CP 287 north out of Bensenville, IL. It will stop just ahead at Bryn Mawr for several hours due to track work.
It was a struggle to get up this morning at 4:30am since I only crawled into bed at 00:30 after late shift last night.
Met up with Dave Surtees down South Shields, the sunrise was at 6:34am but it remained a dull grey colour till around 7:00am then it all came together.

A pair of J SD38's lead the oil local north through Joliet UD. This train sat before the interlocking for about 3 hours before finally being able to get on the move. It delayed our plans for the day, but it was well worth the wait. 1/8/16
One last look at CSX C733, with a view of the head end this time around. The loaded coal train paused at Bridgewater after taking a hit on the Middlesex Wheel Impact Load Detector. The head end came to rest just clear of the grade crossing within the American Cyanamid Superfund site. A busy I-287 and CP Bound Brook just beyond that are visible in the distance.

Not so lucky Amtrak 7 departs Milwaukee, WI after setting out the lounge car. P42 84 leads two Chargers and heritage unit 161.
CP 528 arrives in Windsor yesterday after having to wait at Delray for a few hours due to only one track up to Dougal being used because of MOW work. This had delayed 528 enough so ETR could just pass by while he was exiting the tunnel.

DE1318 seen heading down Marsh Road towards Pinner Station as it operates route H13 from Ruislip Lido to Northwood Hills.
A small delay in Ruislip and roadworks further up the route in Pinner led to DE1318 being curtailed a few stops to Northwood Hills rather than at St Vincent's.

I was out with my wife almost all day and had a pretty solid plan to go out street shooting tonight and finish up before the forecasted rains arrived. Well, they started with a light mist at 2pm and by 3:15pm this was the situation in Bellwood, Illinois. It hasn't gotten better. Still raining at hom at 11:30pm. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

As you are no doubt aware Tom Cruiseβs anticipated sequel βTop Gun, Maverickβ was delayed for release in cinemas for one year from 2019 until summer 2020, but what a lot of people want to know is why ? π₯π¬β
Well what happened was, the actual filmmakers wanted extra time to work on a more eventful and dynamic set of flying sequences with more interesting characters, know anyone who fits that bill.ππ·
And what a coincidence during this time out, one of the filmmakers was due to get married so some of his mates thought it would be a good idea to organise a stag weekend away for their colleague. Following a liquid lunch the guys chose Cornwall as an ideal venue for its peace and normality.πππΊπΊπΊπ·π·π·
Following a flight from San Diego where the new film is being made, to Newquay Airport, the filmmakers asked a taxi driver if he could recommend a quiet little village where sensibility should prevail. Sure enough the driver recommended and took these blokes to a little village not far from Sharpβs Brewery (how odd).ππ
Plus as part of the service the taxi driver took these guys to a very quirky B&B run by someone you are all familiar with, Trixie Trebillcock who always and as part of Cornish law, puts jam first then cream on the scones for her guestsπ‘π
Eager to get themselves aquatinted with the locals, what better place to start than the village pub, have you ever seen a filmmaker who has not been trained in the art of drinking the yard of ale, not a pretty sight. ππΊπΊπΊ
Even though the purpose of the visit by these boys was the stag weekend, thoughts of the film were never far away. So with no time to lose these chaps started to ask some very probing questions of the locals about their flying abilities.βοΈ
One local drinker stepped forward and said he remembers his mother had an Airfix kit and some glue, another local said that when he came home late some nights his wife threw him flying out through the door until he sobered up.π±
Now with that the vicar had come into the pub to organise the quiz night, he also happens to be a keen amateur radio enthusiast.
Oh yes he is right into amateur radio and always carries such a device on himself so he can listen into the pilots at local airports etc.π
Just as our intrepid stag party from across the pond were about to introduce themselves, the vicars radio burst into life, Hey Rev One, this is Hoof Rider requesting a flyby of the church hall, The Vicar, or Rev One responds, Negative Hoof Rider, the pattern is full, with that there is beer everywhere and the windows are vibrating, yep Hoof Rider carried out the flyby.π₯
The film makers were out of the pub eyes looking skywards at this incredible aircraft that had flown over the village, what really caught their eye was not only the pilot who resembled a horse, but the occupant of the navigators seat, a pig wearing Ray-Bans giving the bird.πππ
Do you all remember these lines from the original film,
Charlie : Lieutenant, what were you doing there.
Goose : Communicating.
Maverick : Communicating, keeping up foreign relations, you know giving him the bird.
Goose : (Charlie looks a bit puzzled) so Goose says, you know the finger.
Charlie : Yes, I know the finger Goose.
Goose : ops Iβm sorry, I hate it when it does that.π
Once Hoof and Horace had parked up their Typhoon aircraft, the film makers could not believe their luck when a horse call sign βHoof Riderβ and his Navigator a pig, call sign βCurlyβ (think about his tail) walked quietly into the pub for a well earned drink and a full debrief with the film making stag party.ππ·ππΊ
So there you have it, when the new movie is released later this year you will be able to inform everyone in the cinema why the delay was caused and to keep an eagle eye out for the crewsππ· during the aerobatics. βοΈ
Thank you so much for viewing my photos, I get so much pleasure taking them.
Your comments and banter are appreciated, have a lovely weekend.

El Nino storms have been hitting here this week. Hereβs a very early morning shot of a snowplow clearing the street today, making it safe for the kids to get to school on a βsnow delayβ day.

Bad weather the previous night delayed train 35 with 6656 and the ACLD to the right with 6592 and an LS&I U-boat on 45 cars of Tilden ore on March 10, 1996. Both trains arrived at Soo Yard to late for a bridge tender to be on duty so they conveniently tied up near the yard office waiting for the day bridge tender to come on duty before heading to Canada. The same bad weather made for late trucks and delayed my morning trip out of Sault Ste. Marie long enough that I was able to get the tied down trains in bright sun as I was leaving town.
