Utrecht central station, looking to the east with a bit of a hazy sunrise.
That train isn't actually green, but combines blue and yellow (the Dutch railway's main colors) squares of various sizes to create the illusion of a green train when seen from a distance. groenetrein.ns.nl/
These particular trains always remind me of huge caterpillars, really like the design. To the left are two of the same type approaching. Not yet mine though.
A strange day all round yesterday caused mainly by the partial closure of the S&C north of Appleby. WCRY's Pendle Dalesman hauled by 8F 48151 was re-routed via Shap. Having scouted around along the Beck at Greenholme trying to find a way across, I eventually gave in and waded in to get to the other side of the beck, thankfully only two other photters witnessed this scene which was a bit hairy considering I was carrying camera, car-keys and mobile phone, none of which like getting wet.
Eventually after standing in the Beck for the best part of an hour the 8F stormed past in fine style very delayed after being looped a couple of times due to her 50mph speed limit.
A big thank you to fellow photter Shep Wooley for the updates on the whereabout's of the train and for saving us getting wet again by showing us the easy way back and for a lift back to the cars.

Day 99/366: A whistle-stop trip to Cornwall got off to a poor start with a train cancellation on the first of three connections. Still, it offered a chance to play around with double exposures in Enlight and Hipstamatic - there's always a bright side
Even though it is now already springtime, I thought I'd upload this image from a longer walk I did in a nice woodland area south of Hamburg last November. After all I always meant to share it, and try to keep my photostream strictly chronological.
Celebrating 100 Years of the London Underground 4 Years on, 66721 'Harry Beck' passing Whittlesea this morning with a delayed 4L02 Hams Hall to Felixstowe intermodal.
More delays in the Mothership Storyline...
Have to take the cats around for walkies; they go a little crazy and get excitable if they get stuck inside too long...
(The next mothership chapter started getting huge while I was making the collages for it. Have to either cut it into parts or edit it down. Have some fun shots of Dania’s cats in the meantime!)

So far it’s a 3 hour delay…?..!..?..! Better than the 24 hr. delay my wife and her sister experienced last summer. And looking on the bright side, the airline, WestJet, awarded us a $15.00 voucher, each so we can fill up on Tim Horton’s coffee and doughnuts.
Three and a half years since it last worked the Sleeper - and on its Mk5 debut - former EPS/"Nightstar" pool, now GB Railfreight Class 92, 92032 "IMechE Railway Division" leads the heavily delayed Caledonian Sleeper Up Highlander (1M16) through Winsford.
Although 92032 doesn't have Dellners (yet) its ETS was re-modded in July to its original 1500V configuration so it could perform Thunderbird duties for the Sleeper in Scotland. After three months waiting in the wings, a temperamental 92010 gave 92032 its first opportunity to spring into action.

3/16/2018 A delayed 7-train at 42nd Street–Bryant Park/Fifth Avenue. Sony a7. Konica Hexanon AR 40mm 1:1.8.
Thunderstorms meant we had to circle a bit before landing at Atlanta. A bit of a bumpy ride. Makes the layover shorter anyway.
Two flights done, one to go.
Due to the super typhoon, I am delayed in my departure by several days.
Of course, I found this out after I went to the airport.
Over lunch (by myself), I read a very cynical, but funny editorial from the Taipei Times.
It read:
"It is likely that the president will convene an emergency typhoon task force. For such occasions, the president and accompanying staff wear dramatically colored windbreakers and have important-looking name plates placed on their desks. This has become a bipartisan tradition as officials attempt to look as if they have matters under control.
But the reality is that prudent preparations for storms of this size — maintenance and testing of floodgates in the week before a storm hits, preliminary evacuations of senior citizens and young children from remote communities and exposed coastal and flood-prone towns — have not been taking place.
This is especially objectionable given the tendency of government officials in recent months to carpet forecasters at the weather bureau for not predicting the trajectories of storms to the nearest kilometer and rainfall to the nearest millimeter.
By and large the squat and ugly concrete structures that dominate rural architecture here serve residents well when typhoons and earthquakes strike, thus relieving the government of a degree of responsibility when things do go wrong. With luck, this will also be the case on this occasion."
Wow!
