On my way to the Grand Canyon Railway photo charter, I was lucky to arrive on a day the Apache Railway was operating. It's nice to see this operation still going thanks in large part to BNSF, which sends them cars for repair and cleaning. It's also nice to see a train with no graffiti like this one climbing upgrade out of Holbrook on Oct. 24, 2019.

Happy Valentines Day! May the force be with you and yours...Just a Valentine's image for my followers. Hope you have a great day! Yes, my sweet granddaughter gave me this image.
Coxo is a favorite spot for the photographers especially from the highway. Trying to get trackside is not as simple although rewarding with the angles of the grade accentuated by the pond alongside the track. The bark of the two locomotives echos across the valley of Wolf Creek.
i've always loved this school picture, because I actually had a broken arm -- I wanted my picture taken with the sling around my neck, but the photographer insisted not!
I have stuck in many people's memory from that year in school, because I actually broke BOTH arms, sequentially (not at the same time) -- first one I fell down on the school playground at a parent-teacher conference night -- skinned my knee & didn't even notice my arm, til the next morning when mom decided I was holding my arm strangely and asked if I could rotate my wrist -- I looked blankly at her and said, "no, why?" so I'd fractured my right wrist -- spent six weeks in a sling, and then the day after I got it off, I fell down rollerskating and broke my left arm.
yes, i am clumsy.
my grandmother crocheted that dress for me -- my sister had one with a sort of raspberry color instead of the green.
taken at Van Auken Elementary School, in palo alto, 1973 -- i was probably still six, soon to turn seven...

On a snowy, foggy December morning in 1938, a Jordan School District bus collided with Rio Grande’s Flying Ute. The crossing was at 102nd South and 3rd West in South Jordan, Utah. 23 students and the driver were killed that morning. Fast forward to New Year’s Eve in 1995 when three Alta High Students were killed at the same crossing by an Amtrak train. In response, the city of South Jordan placed new signage at the crossing, explaining a renewed priority to close it. It would finally close when nearby 100th South was widened with automatic crossing signals and gates installed.

The managers parking spot needed some attention. You saw the finished picture earlier and thought I just backed in and set up camp didn't you? Bringing in gravel and using the tractor the spot was graded and leveled. One side was off almost 2 feet.
So how hard could it be to run a campground? It fell in our laps so we decided to give it a try! I will put up a series of photos of our campground life.
This is where I spent 3 months (July - early October) as a Campground manager. Seneca Shadows Campground in Seneca Rocks, West Virginia. It is in the Seneca Rocks - Spruce Knob Recreation area that is part of the Monongahela National Forest
My first impression of N&W 611 was here on the mainline west of Roanoke on a very dreary July 3, 2015. The sight and sound of this J grinding uphill unassisted on home rails was an experience I won't soon forget.
St.Paul,MN Fordson Jct MP 412 1966. Per previous shot, the wave was sustained from this point. Geeps in run 8 sing a sweet sound. Paul, I think you're right. These fellows are super happy.

Grade ll listed building. Originally named the St Leonards Hotel, the Royal Victoria was built in 1828 by renowned architect James Burton as part of his grander vision to create a new seaside resort. The hotel received the Royal Charter from Queen Victoria, who visited on numerous occasions, and later again from King George V. As the focal point of St Leonards, it became a favourite rendezvous of the Royal Family and establishment. (info from the hotel website)

- www.kevin-palmer.com - I've seen fogbows before, but they are so transient they're difficult to capture. The fog must be just the right thickness with the sun at just the right angle. The fog was moving around so much it changed by the second. This was on Red Grade Road in the Bighorn Mountains.
