WBD Z-WSPALT6-18A keeps us from relocating any further. Once you get a spot, its tough to move when they run in fleets on the Fe! Ransom, IL.

A really nice little loop of Fleet Pond. Just avoided the rain and chatted to a couple of nice old ladies. Happy day's for a Friday.
A pair of sharp GEs were departing Fort Madison with a fresh crew aboard the KCHRI in the glory days of the dearly departed Santa Fe.
This is how I would like to remember the Super Fleet.
The Parish Church of Saint Mary Magdalene
The fenland parish of Fleet sits in the south Lincolnshire fens just off the busy A17 trunk road and about 8 miles east of the market town of Spalding. At nearly 12 miles long but only 2 miles at it's widest, the settlement filtered northwards as land was reclaimed from this former tidal inlet. Once surpassing Spalding in population and wealth, Fleet was the focus of Templar activities in medieval times with a yearly fair and vigorous market for centuries.
The Grade I listed Anglican church, dating from the late 12th century, is dedicated to St Mary Magdalene. The 120 feet church tower with spire is like many medieval fenland churches and is detached from the nave by 15 feet. The exterior is mainly Decorated in style, with Early English arcades and a Perpendicular west window. According to Cox (1916), the church was restored in 1860, when the chancel was rebuilt, although the canopied sedilia was retained.
On this icy gray winter morning the Alaska Railroad dispatched a "snow fleet" work extra consisting of GP40-2s 3008 and 3006 pushing Harsco/Jordan Spreader 9 south to Portage to begin opening up the railroad to Seward. The southern end of the ARR's mainline had been out of service since the last coal train ran but was being prepped for some lumber trains from Seward later in the month. There is no snow to move here as they wind along Turnagain Arm near MP 82.5 just north of Rainbow Siding but in 25 or so miles they will be deep into it cleaning the pass through the Kenai Mountains over Grandview Summit.
The skies would clear a little later and I'd capture one of my all time favorite Alaska Railroad shots. If you missed it you can see it here: flic.kr/p/2i5vxs9

The three stars at Penn's Landing in Philadelphia: the 1902 cast-iron tug, Jupiter; the USS Olympia, hero of the Spanish-American War, and the barque Moshulu, a floating restaurant, all moored near where William Penn landed in his "greene country towne." The tug gets to roam around for periodic parades and rides; the others are permanently fixed in place.
The Manorway Fleet runs from nowhere in particular to somewhere else. It’s fortunes are inextricably linked to the nearby River Thames and prevailing weather, but it was certainly glorious this morning.
Somewhere in this scene should be a small black dog, but don’t strain your eyes too much looking for him….

This one is very similar to one of my previous photo from a few days ago (hence the unimaginative title) but shot at a different arcade in the center of Hamburg next to one of Hamburg's many canals ("Fleet").

Pride of the fleet - NS SD70ACC 1832 is in need of some touch ups on the nose after being involved in an accident in Georgia back in 2020. It's seen here rolling past the historic former Fleetwood auto body plant in Fleetwood, PA at sunset.

This particular aircraft, built in 1941. It is painted bright yellow in the style of the BCATP in World War II and carries the number 4725 on the fuselage. It was used by nine elementary flight training schools (EFTS) at St. Catharines, Ontario, and 11 EFTS in Cap-de-la-Madeleine, Quebec. During its service career, this particular aircraft was involved in at least four minor accidents.
