An M42 17mm Takumar lens adapted to my Sony A7. The lens was made sometime between 1967 and 1971. The largest diameter of the focus ring is 66mm. Lens and adapter measure about 57mm in length. This is what the lens sees. HMM and thanks for any views, faves and comments.
The Hoosier State makes their spin move after discharging passengers early in Chicago on a beautiful 60+ degree sunny day in February. Come the end of the month this train will look just like all the other Amtrak equipment sitting off to the right. 2/19/17

It's a long time since I have seen a real railroad caboose, so here's a smaller one from Casa de Fruta. I don't know if they run their garden railroad anymore. It certainly wasn't running when I stopped by.
These are the big chicks, getting ready to fledge. I've been watching them for a few days, but they've either been flapping on cloudy days or sitting in the nest like bumps on a log on sunny days. I finally got them flapping on a sunny morning even if with the distance away, the partly cloudy sky behind, and the shady nest, the photos aren't the best. This may have been my best chance given that they'll leave soon and cloudy conditions are coming up do to frequent thunderstorms. Great Blue Herons, Siskiyou County, California

Centennial 6936 is accompanied by the Rock Island Heritage locomotive on the head of the "City of Bureau Jct." Running as IAIS Train RRHMA 21, the special has the hammer down past the Rock Island Depot at Geneseo on the IAIS Blue Island Sub. on its eastbound leg of a round trip out of Silvis via Bureau Jct.
The weekend of September 20-21 marked the first mainline outing for equipment owned by Railroading Heritage of Midwest America in the form of two round trips; the "City of Wilton" on Saturday the 20th, which ran from Silvis to South Amana, IA and return, and today's trip the "City of Bureau Jct." from Silvis to Bureau, IL and back on Sunday the 21st. These specials were operated in conjunction with the Iowa Interstate Railroad over their trackage, and served as fundraisers benefiting non-profits like the Central States Steam Preservation Association, and Operation Lifesaver, Inc.
6936 is an EMD DDA40X, and is the the world's largest operating diesel locomotive. Part of a class of 47 locomotives built for Union Pacific between 1969 and 1971, they featured two separate diesel prime movers on one frame, for a total of 6,600 horsepower providing electricity for 8 traction motors across a pair of 4 axle trucks.
The first units built showed up in May 1969 just before UP's Golden Spike Ceremony 100th anniversary in Utah. Being numbered in the 6900's and their timely delivery led to their "Centennial" nickname. This unit was part of the second group built, arriving in January 1971, builder number 35510, frame number 7198-12. Railroaders on the UP once referred to them as "Big Jacks", a term that has since turned into a bit of a misnomer that refers to the respectable, but not nearly as large or powerful freight units that succeeded them in everyday service in the United States.
The engine made its last revenue run May 6, 1985, and was saved for special service by UP. After about 25 years pulling railfan excursions, assisting the operating steam locomotives, display events, Operation Lifesaver Specials, providing power for executive inspections, officer special trips, business trains, and additional company service, the locomotive was used sparingly after 2008 until 2016, and donated to the RRHMA by Union Pacific in late 2022 with several other pieces of historic equipment.
After 14 years, this was the locomotive's long-awaited return to the mainline leading a train, having pulled its last business train in 2011, pulling some of the same UP cars it once moved in heritage fleet service followed by former PRR P70 coaches provided by IAIS.
Railroading Heritage of Midwest America is a non-profit organization with a mission to promote public understanding of the history of railroading in the Midwest. RRHMA accomplishes this goal by preserving, restoring, operating, and interpreting historic locomotives and railcars.
RRHMA is based in Silvis, Illinois in the former Rock Island shop complex. Once home to a 45 stall roundhouse, backshop, office building, power house, water treatment plant, and storehouse. Construction started in 1903, and the site was the Rock's primary shop until the 1980 shutdown. Afterwards the site was sold to Chrome Crankshaft, which later passed to National Railway Equipment. In 2022, RRHMA purchased the complex from NRE. It is now home to UP 5511, UP 3985, UP 6936, IAIS 6988, ATSF 537, and numerous rolling stock, all in various stages of restoration.

Originally I thought I'd perfer the pick-n-pluck foam 1610 model, but this stores much more equipment.
This is the rig I taking with me to shoot a wedding this weekend. I'm borrowing another 20D, 70-200mm f/2.8L IS and 24-70mm f/2.8L lenses for my wife Joleen to use. The rest is my junk... I'm planning on ordering a 5D the 16-35mm f/2.8 MkII and 15mm fisheye in the next month or two.
NOTE: This photo made it into Flickr's 'Explore" as one of the top five hundred most interesting photos on a particular day. You can see all of my photo's that have made it into the Flickr Explore pages here.
What ever this piece of equipment was/is must have been pretty heavy as it is place on a cement structure. Maybe a part of a heavy-duty motor?
