The first more serious snowfall in Bulgaria for 2023 caused a 5-hour delay of the 16101 passenger service from Septemvri to Dobrinishte. The cause was a landslide of rocks and snow on the train track. Luckily, no injuries or damages were to follow and the train reached its final destination with a 5-hour delay.
Unfortunately delays caused the sun to swing on me here, but still better than nothing. With amount of money poured into capital improvements in 2018, the demand for ballast is high. Luckily the MRL services a pit in the middle of their line on the 5th Sub at Pipestone. Here a matching SD40-2XR and SD45 head west out of Laurel with more cars for loading. As the SD45 fleet is well known for nowadays, the 355 again failed enroute and had to be repaired by the folks in Livingston before continuing on to Whitehall.
Are there many cities left without a ferris wheel? Montreal has theirs at the old port but the July 2017 opening was delayed until the first week in September.
This wheel is the deluxe version:
It measures 60 meters, high as a 20-story building.
The cabins are equipped with A/C and heat for year round use.
You can take your bar drinks from the bistro at the bottom with you on the wheel.
There is a VIP cabins featuring leather seats, a champagne fridge and a glass bottom floor.
Surely soon...there are a lot of daffodil buds (?) about, they are waiting, striving, to burst out brightly in bloom, aren't they ?
I do hope so. If the sun won't shine...tomorrow...Wednesday...

Running some 14 minutes late, new liveried Cross Country class 220 Voyager 220028 heads south at Eastington Road overbridge in Frocester, Gloucestershire with the 1V63 Manchester Piccadilly to Bristol Temple Meads service
Travellers in India are used to delays, but this weekly train 02198 from Jabalpur to Coimbatore was rather exceptional: it passed Suravali in Goa almost 13 hours later than planned. The good thing was that the express could be photograped in daylight. The WAG-7, this one belongs to the shed of New Katni Junction in North India, doesn't appear here very often with express trains.
More details: travel time 38h 50m, 31 halts, distance 2211 km, average speed 57 km/h.

Of course an SD40 tied to the lashup of an intermodal train needed switched out and the only track available just so happened to be the mainline. So here we go-Parade at CP Mexico.
Scanner was dead so unsure on train symbols sadly.

The poor weather on the Isle of Man had delayed the flight from Gatwick by almost two hours. By the time we were airbourne we in time to witness the sun setting beneath some angry looking skies.
CN's Wainwright Sub dispatcher is having a rough morning, with trains scattered dead across her railway like a Civil War battlefield. Two of the three trains visible here are among them: VIA 2, at center; and the eastbound CN train, which consists exclusively of lumber. Weaving through the morass is VIA 1 (left), which should have made its stop here at the Unity, Sask., depot the evening prior. The Canadian may not be a great source of transportation these days, but it sure is a looker.
CSX local train L422-17 prepares to depart the snowy rail yard at North Vernon at sunrise only to be delayed by mechanical problems.

33J throttles up west of Iles after stopping to setout a block of cars at Shops. As has happened so many times in 2016 after NS cut off the weekday D37 local, 33J managed once again to delay one of the two last Roadrailer trains. #255 caught up to 33J east of Springfield only to have the Auto-Router hold them at Starne Interlocker. A good train dispatcher would have put 33J in the hole at Dawson to get #255 around the junk freight before it stopped to work the yard in Springfield. NS may be improving their operating metrics, but it sure has been painful to watch.

We got snow again last night. This time it better coated the ground, but the roads and driveway stayed basically clear.

Another flight this week, the dreaded back to work one. A little dusting of snow over Scotland usually results in chaos and sure enough a delayed flight. Coming into land over a sugar coated Aberdeen. The colourful Rainbow just under the wing really stood out against the blandness of the snow.
We were on the way to JFK and due to the upcoming blizzard we left with plenty of time to spare in case of traffic delays. Fortunately, there were absolutely no traffic all the way from Philly to Verrazzano and instead of waiting at the airport we decided to do a quick detour and visit downtown Manhattan.
Unfortunately 9/11 Memorial was closed - we were late by 12min, but we still got a chance to walk around and see this beauty. #project366
