With the first snow of the season finally sticking I went out trackside close to home to shoot the Seaview Transportation working down in Quonset-Davisville. A plow truck on Davisville Road is ready but not needed for the two inches of powder that fell, just enough to make everything pretty, but not enough to necessitate any cleanup work.

The Seaview crew is doing a bit of switching in the east end of the Ocean State Yard near MP 2 on the Davisville Branch side of the railroad, and after gathering up their cars they will back west to the junction and then down the Quonset side to work mainstay customer, Toray Plastics.

SVTX GP10 1855 was built as a GP9 in Aug. 1956 for the Baltimore and Ohio as their #6467. Later rebuilt by ICG's Paducah Shop she bounced around on different shortlines until coming to Rhode Island in 2006 where she was given this snappy paint job.

The first flight that I have seen of this year's Osprey hatchlings. It flew from one end of the nest to the other. It did not seem too surprised I suspect it was not it's first.

Another nail in the coffin of the square sun society! I have no idea where the Flickr map feature has disappeared to, it's been a while since I've had my camera out, but for those who are interested in this location it's the less posh side of the Chiang Dao mountain near the Laowu Wiang Haeng Gate. If you don't mind the cold conditions in a flimsy bamboo hut without any windows, precariously perched on the edge of a narrow ridgeway, the night sky and early morning mist are quite amazing. But then the hospitality shown by the local hill tribe villagers is in my opinion far better than any posh nosh resort on the other side of the mountain range for only a quarter of the price.

(my bad, found the map just below!)

This is what I miss about First no longer operating in Plymouth, the random variety thrown up, well before 'bustimes.org' existed you never quite knew what might appear while waiting with the camera!

There were a few not so well presented buses but on the whole I always thought the Plymouth fleet was well turned out and the drivers friendly on the whole.

A none standard type vehicle within the group at this late stage it came to Devon with 3 others via Glasgow when First took over Hutchinson Coaches, Overtown.

Of course with First long gone from here the 2 services continues in the hands of Stagecoach but you won't find anything this rare operating on it these days!
