As the current lockdown has given me some spare time , a look in the loft has found numerous boxes of slides. In amongst them i have found a few railway images taken from a good while ago. My scanner does not do this slide justice as regards quality but its the best I've got.
Double headed class 37's headed by 37687 and another unknown at Water Orton in i believe February 1990 .
37687 entered service as D6881 on 21-10-1963.
Re-numbered as 37610 in 1995 and still in service 14-04-2020.
Just dusting off my archives. Remembering the warmer days of summer. Brrrrr chilly here in Dixie, if it's gonna be 14 degrees, a little snow would be nice. It would definitely keep the stores busy, I haven't seen a milk and bread run for quite some time. LOL!
HBW!

No, I wasn't there. This is a TV shot of the Closing Ceremonies so no personal copyrights. I just loved the gentleness of the face of the bear mascot.

One of the Chinese built S12 power sets number 923 departs Peradeniya with the 1025 Colombo to Badulla. She is heading north to Kandy only 6 kilometers away where she will pick up passengers and then reverse passing this same spot 30 minutes later.
This beautiful gantry is lower quadrant and reminds me of any number of gantries once found on the GWR. Peradeniya is a triangular junction with 3 signal boxes and dozens of semaphores. It is a magical place.
FURX SD40-2 7934 leads a ballast train west past the searchlights at B-plant in Galesburg, IL. The searchlights are long gone, the area is now triple track, the Main St crossing in the background is now a underpass and of course power like this rarely finds the mainline.
So this is one of my picks for today's Flashback Friday .. I will never forget when I went to see them in concert when this album came out .. My mom decided to call the radio station here when they were having a contest .. and she got through and got my cousins and I tickets to the sold out concert ..
I just so happened to see one of my neighbors there and she hung out with us .. little did I know that she would have a HUGE asthma attack and we got to go backstage and while we were back there guess who we met? Yep New Edition .. They came over to see if she was ok .. Thanks Nancy for a memorable night in my childhood lol

Our brake van tour of Scunthorpe Steelworks was great and gave a fascinating insight to the plant and provided some amazing photo opportunities. As if that wasn't enough our hosts hooked up 4 Billet wagons and did a couple of run pasts. What a treat, and it was fantastic to see the ex industrial 0-6-0 called Cranford (Built by the Avonside Engine Company in 1924) doing what she was built to do.
I wasn't sure how to present this shot. The lighting and livery made it extremely difficult to balance.
I opted for this black and white offering as it seemed more natural and authentic.
Big thanks to the crew for accommodating us.

" Ci sono due cose che nessun uomo ammetterà mai di non saper fare bene: guidare e fare l'amore."
(Stirling Moss)
A pair of new Highliners cruise along South Exchange Ave. on the South Chicago Branch as they approach the 79-Cheltenham stop in July 1973.
I thought it might be fun to look back on that earlier visit to the Dubuque Sub I mentioned before. So I dug out the slides, 30 years old now.
I had spent the day with Brian Solomon along the upper Mississippi River shooting under dense dark overcast. Late in the day we got wind of a westbound on the Chicago Central & Pacific. It was my first encounter with the CC&P and I remember how eye opening it was. I was guilty of judging a book by its cover. I had seen photos of the motley collection of second and thirdhand Geeps and made some faulty assumptions. I put the CC&P in the basket of cast-offs, like the DM&E, that trundled along at 10 mph on poor track. Yes, the Geeps were in old, worn, mismatched paint but they *moved*. As we strained to get ahead of train 51 while it sped across eastern Iowa, it was instantly clear this was no neglected branch with a foot in the grave. The line was in solid condition and still packed with signals.
The benefit of a sporting chase was that we were soon closing in on the western edge of the clouds. The light was about to break under when 51 pulled into Beth Siding for a meet. Seen here at the west switch train 50 storms up the mainline with the Winthrop elevator seen on the horizon. October 21, 1995.
Can't quite believe it, but a year ago tonight was the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics… kicking off two and a half weeks of complete inspiration.
One year on I'm watching the anniversary games, and getting very excited about a certain cycle race in London next weekend.
And one year on, I re-shot possibly my most (im)famous image, coincidentally almost exactly a year since last time (july15 2012 v's July 16 2013).
I wanted to try and catch stronger light trails, hence the reason for having another go.
