Dropping downgrade into Detour, Utah, on the route over a snowy Soldier Summit on February 2, 2006, is a westbound Utah Railway coal train led by EMD/MK50-3 No. 5001. Currently, the Utah Railway is about to (or perhaps, already has) haul its last coal train over Soldier Summit. Over 100 years of hauling coal over the Wasatch Mountains comes to an end. Sad…
Breaking from the procession of cold pedestrians, one lone person heads into the warmth of the Marche Bonsecours in Old Montreal.

Oh, that child has skills. We were on a road trip. A three hour one. Every animal we passed was on her sisters side of the truck. Therefore, life, in her opinion, was completely unfair. So as we drove she whined and complained about the inequity of the animal viewing. This went on for hours. I’m not even sure I could keep up with that pace of grumbling and she got those skills from me. (Sorry mom...really am!)
So when we had the chance and found a friendly horse we turned the truck around. This was it. It was her moment. As that horse strolled closer she got more nervous. I rolled down the window. (Yeah...I know...I'm old and we don’t roll a window down anymore but in my head we still do.) She grabbed her camera and went for it. I grabbed mine.
All the complaining was worth it for this image. I love seeing her do her thing. The remainder of the drive went better. No grumbles. We instead got the excitement of looking at her pictures. Detour...worth it. And sometimes the simplest of things are the highlights of a vacation.
Trudging forward, the whispers carry me along the fog covered marsh. The fog sweeps over the water like opalescent dreams sweeping over my sleep. The grasses soon catch fire to the morning light while bringing much needed warmth to my waking soul. I can feel my fingers and even my legs seem a bit lighter. Just before me, a lumbering tree along the bank blocks my path. An eerie moan suggests that perhaps it's time to cut a new trail. Sometimes the way forward requires a detour.
Continuing the marsh stories as the weekend draws near. Wishing everyone a great day ahead!

I happened to be in Stillwater on this day, and seeing the nice updates from the peeps in the field about a late transfer from the CN, I decided to take a little detour north before heading home. Managed to hike to the bridge with only about 10 minutes of waiting before this nice trio of matching SDs pulled across in perfect light.

At last, some Winter imagery. It took a long time for my part of the world to get a significant snowfall, one at least useful for creating images. So before it goes away and we're all on to Spring, I thought I'd better get some up. A slight detour from the abstraction.
A very cold Winter evening looking off my big city balcony. The light seemed just right. A few seconds later it was too dark and that eery, haunting Winter twilight was gone.
At first, panoramic distortion, or, "pano-sabotage" seems perhaps to be DE-structive or implying some kind of trauma to reality. Anything that shakes up our everyday view of the world, if not fully understood, becomes largely associated with the disruption of what keeps us "safe". Like abstraction, "pano-sabotage", offers up a different view of what we call reality. A different view, perhaps a multiplicity of views ... simultaneously. With the coming of the Quantum Age, multi-simultanaeity of possibilities will become how we create and navigate that world.
The title harkens back to two pre-Winter images I posted back in the late Fall, "November Town" ( #'s 1 & 2 ).

There's lots to like about the old Central Vermont main across the Green Mountain State, with lots of scenic trestles and old stations lining the right of way. The line's normal freight trains (NECR 323 and 324) typically traverse the railroad in darkness, but this summer's Vermont Railway detour trains provided a welcome opportunity to shoot freight on the line in better light. Although the trains have used leased GMTX GP38s instead of VTR red, they still look great against the scenery of Vermont. On our last of three days chasing the detours, we shot northbound RDBD soaring over the Winooski River between Waterbury and Richmond.
A result of the replacement of the first of three spans on the Merchant's Bridge, Terminal's Bremen Job, symboled T302, returns back to Madison via the MacArthur Bridge early on a Tuesday morning. After shoving down the High Line and past Gratiot, just across the river in Missouri, the crew now descends the North Approach of the bridge after climbing up directly following the West Belt Job with a relief T301 crew onboard. The Bremen Job switches a variety of industries near Bremen Avenue, just North of the city and South of the Merchants Bridge. This detour around the city just about quadruples their travel from Madison to the Bremen Ave. area and back.
A detoured Canadian Pacific empty coal train heads east at Paola, Montana, on BNSF Railway's Hi Line Subdivision. Two weeks ago, flooding devastated parts of British Columbia and although the CP and CN main lines have reopened, the railroads are still working to get operations back to normal, resulting in this rare detour. The train will head north at Shelby and get back on home rails at Coutts, Alberta. November 29, 2021.
TRRA's SD60Is lead a detouring Terminal 101 under the Gateway Arch in Saint Louis, MO. Due to the Merchants bridge being out, TRRA and other railroads were detouring via the highline and the MacArthur bridge.
A short detour on the way home rewarded me with beautiful scenery along the Isar river.
Ein kleiner Abstecher auf der Heimfahrt belohnte mich mit einer schönen Landschaft an der Isar.
Since we can never know enough of God, says Origen in Homily 17 on Numbers, those who follow divine wisdom are as those living in tents, `with which they always walk and always move on, and the farther they go, so much more does the road still to walk grow long and stretch out endlessly.... For it never happens that a mind, enkindled by the spark of knowledge, can come to quiet repose; it is always called to move on, from the good to the better and from the better to still higher things.'

This is a CPR/SOO detour that took the old 911 route from St. Luc-Sudbury-SaultSte. Marie-Gladstone-Argonne-Fond du Lac-Schiller Park. This job went by my house around 4AM and I followed it to Gladstone in terrible weather getting a few pictures west of Isabella. Checking the weather it appeared to be a wash out for the remainder of the day but Mike Hoff struck gold on it near Fond du Lac when the sun popped out late in the afternoon. M636-Cat 4711 leads an SD and another M636 along with a solid train of COFC on the WC. This weeks SNS was shot on June 25, 1992. Chuck Schwesinger collection.

Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour, oh, these bitter things I find
Should have read that detour sign -- Tex Ritter
The last of a brief spurt of detoured Amtrak trains around the blocked First Street tunnel heads under the CP-CAPITOL signal bridge on the normally freight-only Alexandria Extension. After missing yesterday evening's detours due to some conflicts, I set my eyes on this morning's Silver Meteor in hopes that they'd be delayed enough to run up the Extension in daylight. Thankfully, they got delayed just enough waiting for a CSX pilot that the light was workable by the time they got underway on the freight only portion east of CP-VIRGINIA. With a limited window of time before meetings and nothing but a rented Bikeshare to work with for transportation, I scrambled over to the New Jersey Avenue overpass where I didn't have very long to wait before they pulled.
Full disclosure on editing: this is a composite of two different images, as the ideal shot in terms of shadows was angled just a bit too low and cut off the Washington Monument. The 4x3 aspect ratio the composite produces is much better than a default 3x2 shot, which makes it impossible to fit the top of the monument in frame. I filled in the upper sky with an earlier shot in the sequence, and tried to patch up the sky and other associated upper fringes as best as I could. Normally I'm not one for extreme post processing, but I'll likely never have a chance to shoot a move like this again so I wanted it to be perfect. This was only about an hour's work, so I may come back to Photoshop to perfect it later.
