Yep, according to a freind, UP has started numbering their new (and old) rolling stock with lettering from railroads they have bought since they are running out of room in their car roster. It looks like this one was fresh from the car maker, I wonder if it is still this clean and fresh looking.

Westward through Shabbona, Illinois the BNSF 4752 leads the "Z" Train past some almost peaked colorful trees.
Saw this guy rapidly approaching in my rear view mirror, as we were also Westbound, and had just enough time to stop and get out to snap this shot. I'm certain a few days later this would have been extremely colorful.

666 days out of service due to a derailment at Laois Traincare Depot, ICR #37 (22 037) went back into service on the 17 November 2011, which it operated the 1725 Heuston to Limerick. However, on Saturday 19 November 2011 the railcar was hit by stones which shattered the windscreen on 22137. The railcar is seen here as it powers through the North Cork countryside at Grange, between Mallow and Buttevant, working empty from Cork to Laois Traincare Depot due to the smashed windscreen.

I watched trams circle the small Weldoenersplein park in Av Rogier for almost three hours... On the left, a short three-segment route 62 tram heads uphill and on the right a longer 25 tram heads away downhill. The doubletrack splits to circle the small Trams circle the Weldoenersplein park and meet up at the other side with tight curves are on quite a grade, plus there is a station at each side of the circle, requiring uphill starts. The Bombardier trams seem to be quite powerful.
Pingree Grove, the RR Switch that is. The Burnidge/Paul Wolff Forest Preserve has some nice walking/hiking trails that go right by the Canadian Pacific's Pingree Grove control point and switch in unincorporated Elgin, IL Now, this marks the point where the Metra/CP doubletrack goes to single track. I believe (others who know more pls chime in) the Pingree Grove CP was somewhere else during the Milwaukee Road Era. This is 6 portrait oriented photos digitally stitched together.
Take a look at it in FULL resolution:

Fall foliage is gone from the Mississippi River valley, but low November light makes up for the loss of color. A visit to the St. Croix sub yields prime late afternoon sun and only one train in 2.5 hours.

New in 2025: YoY 06/10/2024 15h48
On September 25, 2024, Walibi announced the name of the new single-rail coaster under construction; YoY. Walibi director Mascha Taminiau announced this during a presentation at the IAAPA Expo Europe amusement park fair in Amsterdam. Next year, the amusement park will open a double roller coaster from the American manufacturer Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC), with two different tracks.
The logo was also presented. YoY is pronounced like the English word joy. A single-rail coaster is special because it uses a single track, the so-called raptor track. Trains are therefore particularly narrow: all passengers sit in a straight line behind each other.
The attraction consists of a green and a blue track: the green track - including inversions - is intended for daredevils, while the blue track, which does not go upside down, is suitable for families. This concept is also reflected in the logo, where the two Y's both symbolize a track. The slogan is "Ride the other side".
Walibi said it was looking for a powerful, unique term that conveys the message and that is easy to pronounce for international visitors. The chosen name is indeed unique: no roller coaster in the world is called Yoy, or Joy. The roller coaster Joyride in the Finnish amusement park PowerPark comes closest.
Walibi wants to open YoY in the spring of 2025. In Biddinghuizen, work has been going on for weeks on the track and the supports: a large part is already standing. The station building and the depot are also already visible. YoY is the first single-rail coaster from RMC in Europe. Competitor Intamin delivered its own version for sister park Walibi Rhône-Alpes in France this year.

The 'Builder takes off from its Columbus, WI station stop on a perfect summer evening.
While making our way home across Wisconsin I checked in with "Julie" and was pleasantly surprised to find the Builder just far enough off the advertised to reach Columbus 10 minutes after us. So with the whole family out on the bridge my 5 year old daughter was thrilled by the friendly toots and waves we recieved as #7 lifted off. A perfect highlight to the long drive across the state. August 14, 2011.
Chasing "Somewhere New" on a rough doubletrack up a side canyon we'd not noticed before we encountered the opposite of peace - a hunter sighting in an elephant gun. No idle plunker or latino blowing off steam through firepower, this was a man at a serious exercise. With his rifle laid across the hood he'd loose a startling explosion of serious velocity - we'd see the muzzle flash and the puff of dirt behind the target before we heard the report, though he was only a hundred yards away - then move a few steps to his right to check the sighting on a tripod-mounted spotting scope. He'd set up safely enough, using the canyon wall as a backstop. We've seen some excellent examples of unsafe shooting - we still won't go back to the Rio Rancho badlands - but this felt fine and with his serious intent I knew he wouldn't be at it long. When we returned from our exploration (cut short after finding nothing but a few hills of bentonite and a demoralizing wind-chill) he was already gone. Peace restored to the canyon, deer and elk beware.
2nd 1864 C&P (Cleveland and Pittsburgh) PRR bridge over Tinkers Creek at Bedford OH. in 1902 it was replaced by a doubletracking project and buried in the fill of the new line. only the top of the arches are visible today.
I've got a new car, a 2008 Honda Accord. And because I don't want the back of the car all chewed up like as happened to my 1997 Accord I purchased a new bike rack. A Thule 990XT Doubletrack.
The rack sits out quite a bit further which, at first blush, is going to make parallel parking very difficult. However, I learned to parallel park with my grandfathers 77 Bonneville which was a full yard longer than the 97 Accord and is still 30 inches longer than the 08. With the rack it's similar in overall lenth. I'm just going to need to practice a bit.
Also, with it sitting so far back I want to get some reflective tape to make sure that people stay back.
