I took this shot circa 1974 with the Pentax K1000 film camera. This photo was scanned from a print. These third graders are hard at work creating three dimensional clay maps of continents and ocean floors as part of a curriculum I helped create and develop.

Shot with the Olympus E-5 just outside the east portal of the Hoosac Tunnel in the Berkshire Mountains of western Massachusetts, USA. Just ahead one can make out a bridge crossing the river and the accompanying railroad signals.
Founded in 1867 this school was built to educate former slaves. It was funded by New York educator and philanthropist, Emily Howard. The one room schoolhouse is 26 x 40 feet and was built by local black carpenters and builders. It was known as a graded school because it only educated grades 1 through 7.
Originally it was called the Howland Chapel because on Sundays it also served as a place of worship (for what would become the First Baptist Church congregation) until 1920. The school closed its doors in 1958 after being a schoohouse for almost 100 years. It is little altered from the Reconstruction era, but got new siding and minor restoration in 1991. This is the oldest school in Northumberland County, Virginia. It is on the National Register of Historic Places.
With their EMD 16-645 Prime Movers screaming, four Blue Ridge Southern SD40-2's make the final assault on Camelback Grade and into Canton with a decent sized T31 dragging behind.
Led by a quartet of SDs, a westbound train on Southern Pacific's Modoc Line climbs out of the Madeline Plains toward Sage Hen summit. This ASEUM is near old Pinnio, which was once a station on the grade between Madeline and Sage Hen.
Led by Southern Pacific GE AC4400CW No. 340, an eastbound Union Pacific coal train descends the two percent grade between Clay and Rocky, Colorado on April 13, 2002. The head en is approaching the west switch of Rocky siding, and the two DPUs on the rear of the train are above and just crossed over the east switch of Clay siding, while a lone mid-train DPU is circling Big 10 Curve out of sight to the left.
I had finished a photoshoot with someone for shots of their horses with the grandkids and stayed in the area for an extra hour and a half for a storm to cross so I could photo this grader that was sitting in their field. Nothing spectacular, I just loved the yellow against the dark sky.

A view from the cab as SP's I-SF-24 train navigates the loops at Goldtree, just north of San Luis Obispo, California.
After rejoining NJ Transit's Main Line, NS H-55 runs grain empties from Bay State through NJT's Paterson Station, which was grade separated from street level by the Erie Railroad in the 1920s.

The action is intense south of Rainelle along the NF&G for loads returning back to the outside world at Meadow Creek, WV. Half of the train has been left behind at the base of the grade and still, this is how hard a duo of modern GEs has to work to get the train u to stable ish ground at Meadow Bridge.
WAMA is just starting to crest the grade at Klatte Rd. as it's only a few miles from Northern Maine Jct where they will make a stop to drop some cars for CMQ, dirt for Orrington, and asphalt tanks for Lanes. Got lucky with a nice leader, spring is in full bloom as the trees are budding fast.

EP07-2004 with interregional passenger train 76901 "Kamieńczyk" from Poznań Główny to Szklarska Poręba Górna approaches Szklarska Poręba Dolna. From this perspective you may guess that the Izera Railway from Jelenia Góra is definitely a mountainous route. January 30, 2019.

EP07-2004 z pociągiem InterRegio 76901 "Kamieńczyk" z Poznania Głównego do Szklarskiej Poręby Górnej, wjeżdża do Szklarskiej Poręby Dolnej (po drodze zaliczy jeszcze przystanek o końcówce nazwy "Średnia"). Z tej perspektywy widać, że Kolej Izerska to nie tory na płaszczyźnie :)

Southbound empty train C640 from Martin yard heads to Hazard on the former E&BV subdivision. The train is cresting the steep grade out of Beaver Gap. Train is between Kite and Deane Kentucky.
With nearly 200 empties, eastbound CSX empty double-coal train U214 slowly ascends the steep gradient through Moss Run, VA, as they're determined to not come to a complete stop just ahead of the OX Cabin control point on the sunny afternoon of February 16, 2020.
Its well below zero with snow & ice everywhere on the units coming up the grade at Munger Road in 1993
A scene from my S gauge model railroad. Shot with the Olympus E-M1. The Texas & Pacific diesel is an original from American Flyer.
An old road grader with a snow removal wing attached. I believe this old beast is still in working order

We caught up with the 29G we saw at Salem earlier for this seen in the middle of Christiansburg Grade. Still gloomy, but the fog on the hills added some ambience.
Back to school pictures are in order today. The remaining summer fun will now have to be experienced in the evenings and weekends. I was brave saying goodbye to my 3rd grader this morning, we met her teacher last night and I am expecting a great year! I'm looking forward to volunteering and getting involved.
So heres the full story: The day prior to this, ZMQG4s lead ace (seen 3rd out) suffered an engine block failure and was shut down indefinitely. Rather than run the BN ace around, they parked it in nowhere southern Illinois. Now a day behind schedule, IG4SI was supposed to drop a CSX unit to rescue IG4SI, and clearly that didnt happen. So an extra board crew out of Dupo had to drive up to Bloomington, steal their local power, and bring the now 2 days late stack, into G4... running under IDUG4X-20.
Props to the based crew that chatted with us while they were parked south of Gardner later that evening.
Anyways, heres the rescued stack screaming through Odell in notch 8.
