Eight hues separated by 45° on colour circle, straight-edge shapes at 75% saturation and 75% brightness value overlaying gradients at 60% and 90% saturation and brightness value alternating. Designed with Adobe Illustrator with help from my own software to get the holes in the gradients.
Some more of the transient light I enjoyed watching trace its way across Fallow and Glanderston hills between Insch and Kennethmont.
These two units were the rear DPUs on the Provo to Denver manifest train tied down in the siding at Tolland, Colorado, due to mechanical problems. Eight units are on the head end. Yesterday was a beautiful day in the high country, and fall colors were rapidly developing––photo by Joe McMillan, September 14, 2024, 2:05 p.m. A crewman is stepping away from the units after they were adequately secured.
This Widespread or Common Eighty-Eight, Diaethria clymena, was perched near a river bank. It was one of several related species I saw on a recent butterfly trip to Ecuador.

The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway's class L-2 comprised eight coal-fired 4-6-4 "Hudson" type steam locomotives numbered #300–307 and built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1941. They had roller bearings on all axles, and the first-built, #300, had roller bearings on its side and main rods too. #300 also bore "Elephant ear" smoke deflectors from 1948.
In 1947, the C&O ordered five additional and very similar locomotives, numbering them #310–314; these were class L-2-A and differed mostly in using Franklin RC poppet valves instead of the Baker valve gear of the L-2s. These were the last express passenger steam locomotives ordered by a United States railroad, and some of the most expensive at $353,346 each, 80% more than the cost of the 8 earlier L-2 locomotives.
Both classes were among the largest 4-6-4s ever built. They were intended to work the C&O's top-flight express trains on level ground; the railroad purchased 4-8-4 "Greenbrier" types for mountain service.
By 1953, C&O passenger services were wholly dieselized, and there was no more work for these locomotives to do. Hudsons were very unsuited to freight work, with such a comparatively small proportion of their weight on the drivers. All were quickly scrapped.
This jumper was seen resting on a twig at Alfreds Farm with its 2 left front legs missing. Taken with a reversed Nikkor 18-55mm @35mm + ext. tube #2
. . . Yadda yadda. Built that Electrocutioner and the rest sort of stumbled into place.

Lemme know what you think!
Alongside the main EBV yard control tower, massive 1961-built "Bergbau" Class Krupp 0-8-0 tank 'Anna N.12' (works No.4248) making up a loaded coake train in the yard at Grube Anna, Alsdorf, on 18th September 1978. It's size can be appreciated when scaled against its driver leaning out of the cab.

1938-built Stanier Pacific 6233 'Duchess of Sutherland' passes through York station, in the brief company of DRS 68022 'Resolution' in Trans-Pennine Express decals, whilst en-route to Milford Junction for turning. The immaculate condition of the 'Princess Coronation' Class loco is in marked contrast to the Gresley 'A4' that would arrive at York shortly after this.
