Eight Thousand Horses spot seventy tons of bricks at W.R. Taylor Company in the middle of Tarragona Street in Pensacola, Florida. With apparently no more four-axles in the yard, a pair of six-axle Gevos did the honors of swapping an empty for a loaded boxcar at W.R. Taylor this night. While certainly not the ideal set of power for my liking, having caught a rare daylight move a few days prior with a proper leader on this already very difficult to catch and unique operation, I was happy to document the odd move. The empty boxcar was set out further back so the conductor could connect a road barrier to it across the street to avoid any northbound traffic while switching. Pensacola, FL
I call this the octopus pole. It has eight arms carrying all the different lines. However, that is not what caused me to stop In the road on this wet cloudy day.
What I find unusual is that the lines cross the road to this pole, just so they can immediately cross back to where they started on the other side of the road again.
Does that make any sense?
Happy Telegraph Tuesday!

Union Pacific’s Cache Valley Local pulls tank cars for Tri-Miller Beef through a picturesque landscape in Wellsville, Utah the morning of Aug. 25, 1999. A pair of freshly rebuilt GP38-2s power the train, recent graduates from Morrison-Knudsen in Boise, Idaho. Both were built Rio Grande GP40s by EMD in 1966 (DRGW 3067 and 3059, respectively).
This Blue-and-orange Eighty-Eight, Catagramma tolima, was near a large waterfall on the RÃo HollÃn.
Archidona Canton, Ecuador. October 23, 2024.
It was still quite early this morning and poor light, when this buck showed up on our front lawn. We have had as many as a dozen deer these mornings and none that still had their antlers, so it was a surprise to see one that did.
I grabbed the camera and ran to the front window and got this shot as he trotted through. The settings were way off and I had to lighten and sharpen the picture, but since I haven't posted any shots for 2023.... ta da!
Note: You can't see the two antler spikes that are coming up *between the set of antlers. They were about three inches high. Two more tiny ones were starting at the base of each and you can just see one in Large view.
* I actually meant that the little spikes were part of each antler but were down close to the bottom and hard to see from a side angle. They weren't the start of this years antlers.
What’s not to like about the old Buick Eight trunk emblem? Especially when it's on a rusty old specimen like this one. Every time I see one I feel the need to photograph it. :-) This one was at the Lewis Antique Auto and Toy Museum in Moriarty, New Mexico on old Route 66. Not to be missed if you like old, rusty trucks and cars.
I went over the the Mississippi River yesterday hoping to get some eagle action but was very disappointed. I did get a few shots of eagles in flight and several other waterfowl shots anyway. Here an eagle shows us what 8 ft looks like. Well, minus a few inches at the top. Female eagle wingspans get up to 8 ft ( 2.4 meters ) . This one should be close to that.
Built for the Cotton Belt in 1988 as SSW 8049, former Union Pacific B40-8 1848 is perhaps one of the "newest" locomotives preserved in a museum.
Donated to the IRM by the UP, the 1848 was doing its thing on the IRM's main line in 2014. Hopefully someday the Dash Eight will once again wear the scarlet and grey instead of what it wears now.

Gray langurs, also called Hanuman langurs and Hanuman monkeys, are Old World monkeys native to the Indian subcontinent constituting the genus Semnopithecus. Traditionally only one species Semnopithecus entellus was recognized, but since about 2001, additional species have been recognized. The taxonomy has been in flux, but currently eight species are recognized.
Gray langurs are terrestrial, inhabiting forest, open lightly wooded habitats, and urban areas on the Indian subcontinent. Most species are found at low to moderate altitudes, but the Nepal gray langur and Kashmir gray langur occur up to 4,000 m (13,000 ft) in the Himalayas.
Langurs mostly walk quadrupedally and spend half of their time on the ground and the other half in trees. They will also make bipedal hops, climbing and descending supports with the body upright, and leaps. Langurs can leap 3.6–4.7 m (12–15 ft) horizontally and 10.7–12.2 m (35–40 ft) in descending.
Gray langurs are diurnal. They sleep during the night in trees but also on man-made structures like towers and electric poles when in human settlements. When resting in trees, they generally prefer the highest branches.
Gray langurs are primarily herbivores. However, unlike some other colobines they do not depend on leaves and leaf buds of herbs, but will also eat coniferous needles and cones, fruits and fruit buds, evergreen petioles, shoots and roots, seeds, grass, bamboo, fern rhizomes, mosses, and lichens. – Wikipedia
L&C 12 screams away from East Chester shortly after sunrise with its SD40T-2, SD40-2, SD60M set howling away to get their 66 car train up Richburg Hill. A backlog in traffic at the NS and CSX interchanges caused the L&C to make a rare Sunday operation and run all three scheduled trains. I have to say....the 6002 is probably my favorite unit on the L&C roster and grabbing sunny shots of it leading always makes the trip worth it.
