A look back at Prairie View, Illinois around 1996 as a Wisconsin Central F45 leads a former MK SD45 and a pair of Norfolk Southern power north.
That signal is now removed and this is double-tracked.
Takes us to LaCrosse, WI August of 2008.
Because of old MILW road miles based contractual obligations, the road switch jobs out of LaCrosse paired St. Paul conductors with Portage engineers. Since one job went east to serve customers all the way to Tomah (about 40 miles), Portage conductors could 'recapture' the miles. With only having three years of seniority, I could hold this day job with weekends off. Occasionally my brakeman was a 40 year veteran.
Most days we would take cars over the Mississippi river to La Crescent, MN to interchange with the ICE railroad. Road switchers had little priority over road trains and today is no exception. Here we are waiting for train 891 to pass and we will follow him west.
Three MRL units were assigned to the 890/891 train set for about a month.
The shot was taken shortly after a rain shower. Looks like the weed sprayer needs to come through the yard.

So, why Albania? Well, I met this chap in Milan yesterday evening who also had a long wait in the freezing cold for his train. He was going south while I was going north. We both ended up with a three hour delay! Anyway, he was thiniking of starting a business in Albania, which is a short journey across the Adriatic from where he lives. And then, when looking at which photos I am carrying on this (my work) PC, I found a few Albania pics which ahd not been uploaded... a good enough reason?
In 1966 Here Come the Brides by Bernard Glemser was published. A pleasant beach read about the bridal department of a department store it had one memorable passage. When one of the brides kept insisting that her dress should be cut lower in the front the exasperated salesperson exclaimed: “Why don’t you just carry them down the aisle on a silver platter”
I read the book when it came out and that is the only thing I remember but every time I see this sort of cantilevered décolletage it pops into my mind.

One of the first National's if not the first, to roll off the Leyland production line in 1972 at Workington, was this SELNEC liveried dual door Leyland National TXJ507K (EX60, 1330), seen next to SELNEC Central PTE Park Royal bodied Daimler Fleetline NNB589H (2130).

Another re-work of a 2012 image. Shot at the southern end of Turimetta beach, Sydney Australia. On this side of the rock shelf with the right swell you get some nice water movement without the danger of salt spray.

Peter, a retired Navy helicopter pilot takes Bill, a retired Navy F-14 Tomcat RIO up for a flight in the T-6 Texan. Bill is head down, perhaps looking for a nonexistent Tactical Information Display.
