The Batten Kill is a truly a time warp, and if you're lucky enough to spend anytime along the line when they are operating you will feel like you have been transported back a half century or more.
Here is one such example. No ditch lights, ptc antennas, high viz vests or any other signatures of modern railroading are visible. Here is an Alco RS3 blt. in Sept 1952 on home rails paused beside a 1909 built ex Delaware and Hudson passenger station. This is MP A136.9 on the old D&H Washington Branch and BKRR 4116 has paused just north of the Main Street crossing so engineer and railroad president and owner Bill Taber seen here could get down with shovel in hand to help clear some ice and snow before pushing through a four foot high berm as he and his hardy little crew work to open the railroad after the epic three feet of snow that was dumped on Washington County and much of the northeast.

I need some colours in my stream. Photo taken August 2015.
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to view, comment, and fave my photo.
Here's a side view of my sister's Jack-o-lantern Goodie Bowl, full of goodies, being explored by one of the many squirrels who have been showing up for our Backyard Harvest Fest.
This backside view is something we see over and over. And no matter how many times we see it, a squirrel caboose is still a cute sight to see!
The treats being offered in our Goodie Bowls include a mixture of shelled peanuts, pecans and walnut pieces, and there are also whole pecans, walnuts, almonds, Brazil nuts and hazelnuts.
We were digging ourselves out before the sun came up. Stu will get the snowblower out later and finish the front.
A quartet of Utah motors lug a heavy coal train up the east slope of Soldier Summit. With a 6-unit set of mid-train helpers cut-in this was a fabulous train to chase up the hill. These units were usually remarkably clean and made for great photography. The nice thing about the Utah during this time period was you could count on an eastbound empty out of Provo in the morning and the loaded train would head west in the afternoon. Add in the Grande trains and Soldier Summit was a special part of many of my photography trips.
Not normally the side of Bozeman Hill that the helpers are used to digging in on, this helper set is nevertheless attacking the west slope of Bozeman with gusto as they roll through West End with the Logan Local in tow. Just behind me is Bozeman Tunnel and the crest of the hill. Fun fact, the wooden wall just visible between the pine trees is home to number of Grizzly Bears, a neat to place to visit when in the area.
The bee is going for all she's got to get to that sweet nectar at the bottom of this petunia getting covered in pollen.
Ugh. I am sick. I have taken lots of pills but none of them are working. Speaking of work -- it's all craps and fans there... loving that. I should be resting but I'm e-mailing and calling and ftping and editing and paperworking and UGH. HBW.
Oh and if anyone knows what this tree is please do let me know. It smells so lovely and has the most beautiful blossoms well into September now.
Figured it out -- it's a Clarodendron or Harlequin Glorybower.

Just digging back into the archives and I came across this one from a memorable weekend in the Lakes with some great guys. I overlooked it for processing at the time in preference for the more dramatic. But this image has something that it didn’t when I made it, a future me. ‘I have changed’. I have grown into it! That is the marvellous thing about photography; you can enjoy work you started years previously and keep relieving and nurturing the small sparks of yet to be realised ideas. Anyway, I get the feeling that some of the people who were there at the time already had a head start on me, but life is a journey right, and creatively a very enjoyable one at that.
