Old warrior 7562 is no longer on CSX's roster. I believe it's wandering around New England looking for a place to die, but here it is, or was, in Dyer, IN on the point of Q642 back in 2014. These ancient C40 straight cabs wore the YN3 pretty well, but that tiny boxcar still looked kind of dumb, to be polite.
I'm proud to announce my first published magazine photo spread.
DYE Magazine, which is focused on heavily dyed or pigmented hair was gracious enough to accept my photos of Stephanie Castro as Captain America that I took at Long Beach Comic Con.

Dyer, Indiana needed something to spice up it's passenger train choices...and the town got it. This fine looking Iowa Pacific equipment adds a great splash of color to the otherwise generic looking Am-sheet, oh sorry..I meant Am-fleet fare.
Here we view #851 approaching the newly renovated Dyer depot on August 28, 2015. Pentax 67 on Fuji Velvia 100F.
Plenty of twists and turns on the descent to Lyttelton, near Christchurch, New Zealand.

In a time-honored gesture, the Amtrak conductor of Iowa Pacific's 'Hoosier State' checks his pocket watch before leaving the station at Dyer, Indiana.
This is what I did:
1. Soaked 4 items to be dyed in Rit Color Remover. I made it up with warm tap water and used an entire package of powder. Nasty stuff. Use outside. It did not work. Probably because I did not boil the water? Some strange dye came out of one of the stained items and an orange skirt and the white dress turned purple. Strange. Avoid using this if possible. I had good results the first time I used it, but not the second or third.
2. Rinsed the color remover out. Took forever. Washed items several times in Ivory Clothes Detergent. Horrible odor.
3. Soaked wet items in Rit dye solution for about 45 minutes. Stirring fairly constantly.
8 cups water
8 Teaspoons Liquid Rit Purple Dye
6 teaspoons salt
Salt is supposed to help the cloth absorb the dye evenly. That worked pretty well. Better than when I did not use salt on my second dye experiment.
4. Rinsed the items intil the water ran clear. Takes forever.
5. Let dry. Noticed that the bow area did not absorb the purple as well as the rest of the dress. I wet the dress and then spot dyed that area with dye on a q tip. Worked pretty well.
This is a pain in the neck, but still something I enjoy doing every so often with old, ratty vintage Barbie items. Gives them a new life. I did a skirt, too. It has a dye streak and needs to be washed out, again.
I'm pretty sure this is Dyer's Mazegill, Phaelous schweinitzii, although I haven't seen it before with this morphology. Normally it appears as more of a concentric low growing plaque. Seen in a Surrey wood.
This fungus got its name from use as a source of yellow, orange and brown fabric dyes, the colours getting darker with age.

Sunset is coming sooner now since we're in August and the blue light makes its appearance earlier. It had just turned 800pm and we were about to call it a night. It had been a nice evening with a cool breeze, enjoyed by about four or five of us at the depot in Dyer. I got up to leave and took one last glance down the tracks, having left my scanner in the car. (I know, I'm lazy.) Surprised by a headlight, we grabbed our cameras and got ready for whatever was coming south. Turned out to be K500, an ore train off the BNSF and headed to Reynolds. Leading it was one of those sharp CITX lessors, CREX 1205. That blue and gold striped nose looked good in the blue light. A nice way to end a nice night.

Rob and I ventured into Coney Island after warped tour yesterday and snuck on a few rides and shot a lot of really hilarious photos and also some nice ones. I've known Rob for almost 4 years! He's one of my best friends.

Here is a photo of Chicago, Indianapolis & Louiville's Dyer, Indiana tower, date unknown. Pictured on the steps is the operator and the view is looking north from about the Monon/EJ&E diamonds. This tower controlled the Monon, EJ&E and Michigan Central movements. The MC & EJ&E ran east and west parallel approximately a quarter mile apart. As far as I know, the tower had no switches on any of the 3 roads inside the plant. It just controlled signals. It also did not hand out train orders. This is probably why it was easy to put the control to the agent and finally automate.
This photo is from the collection of Mahlon Eberhard.
Update: The north end of the siding on the Monon was in fact interlocked.
The redness had seeped from the sky as the day was about to fade away and the night was arranging herself around us, cooling things down, bringing about the winds of change, dyeing the evening purple and blue black.
Another one those moments where I couldn't resist myself from halting my car, just sitting beside the road as final act of the day by our mother nature began in full swing, and penultimately clicking a few pictures here and there in the process.

Back when the ore trains ran on the Monon Sub, you could see some interesting sights when a K500 showed up. The loaded ore trains came off the BNSF and went south on CSX down to the new plant at Reynolds, IN for processing. It looks like the rumors that the operation would start up again are proving to be false, a sad fact for many people. Good paying jobs are hard to come by, both on and off the railroad. As for us old retirees and railfans, it means not seeing an old Grinstein on the point charging through Dyer on a well lit November afternoon.
As well as Kelvin and Clydeside, Strathtay Scottish also chose to operate Routemasters as part of its local deregulation battles London Transport RM 1821 moved north in 1986 and became SR6, it received the wacky but noticeable Strathtay livery and is seen here on Dundee High Street on a June evening in June 1987 working on one of the Tayway services towards Broughty Ferry.
821 DYE later became YSL 32B in 1989 and lasted in service until 1992.

I'm so excited right now because I finally have new photos to upload and everything has been going quite well university wise :)
I'll be back with more photos and some proper descriptions soon, I promise. But otherwise, this is me chilling at my friend's house on Saturday afternoon during the sunset. The light was so amazing there. And I went to go watch the new 300 movie.
