A gaggle of normally aspirated locomotives pull an eastbound Chicago Central & Pacific freight by the historic Galena depot on a rainy August 13, 1994. Galena is named after the natural mineral form of lead sulfide, and was mined here, and by 1845, Galena was producing nearly 27,000 tons of lead ore annually. The location also developed as the largest steamboat center on the Mississippi River north of St. Louis, Missouri, and Galena was the home of General Ulysses S. Grant.
Yay! Selective colour! I HOPE you enjoy it! YOU CAN'T DENY THE BAD-ASS-NESS OF THE SELECTIVE COLOUR ON A LAMBORGHINI!!!!
Something different from me today. The old Werribee Water Tower which was built in 1914 and decommissioned in the late 1960's when Werribee was connected to the Melbourne water supply. Artist Hayden Dewar was commissioned to paint a mural on the tower in 2020. He was assisted by Shmek One.
I had reason to be in the area this morning. Even tough it is only a five minute drive from home I had not seen the mural.
This is Dewar's depiction of a Growling Grass Frog, an endangered frog which is found in this area.
With Antelope Island and the Great Salt Lake for a backdrop, Union Pacific's PRLAD (Proviso - Los Angeles) container train ascends the 0.8% along the foothills of the Oquirrh Mountains approaching Erda, Utah the evening of Aug. 26, 1995.
I did this in what I understand to be High Key. I tried it in Yellowstone 2017 and this is the outcome of the picture. This wolf was laying down after a meal. He didn't want any company. I took this with a long lens. 150mm-650mm . He was growling to let us know to stay away.

Serial number DC-846B was operated by Bearskin Airlines, a division of Perimeter Aviation LP of Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Its Garrett AiResearch TPE331s produced a lovely sound.
At the Diamond Beach, the icebergs which fill the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon wash up on shore as "growlers", creating strikingly beautiful ice gems that stand out against the volcanic black sand of the beach.
My daughter’s cat - official name Kelly. I’ve nick-named him Growler, because that’s how he communicates. He’s an adorable fellow and is at least 12 years (he was a stray before he started to live with my daughter). In this photo he’s resting in a decorative platter on my coffee table. (Not made for cats).

Such a treat to see her.

An 8-9 foot gator seems to be “growling” from either hunger or anger as I approach. I’m not sure that either is a good thing when you see the ripples on the water!!

Continuing to fill in the shots from this chase here is another classic location that is easy and rarely disappoints thanks to the vintage photo prop.
Vermont Railway train 263 is seen passing the former Rutland Railway Gassetts freight house here at MP B17.9 on the Green Mountain Railroad's Bellows Falls Subdivision. Leading the way on this historic route which opened between Bellows Falls and Burlington in 1849 is SD70M-2 431 built in December 2006 for the Florida East Coast, and one of only two six axle units on the roster. She is trailed by three geeps (GMTX 2215, CLP 204, VTR 207) and thirty cars destined for Riverside Yard in Rockingham.

Sited on the old Post Office building in what used to be Derby’s main thoroughfare and now reduced to a bus and cycle lane.
This was my first train of the new year and what a way to kick off 2026! A mainline Class 1 thru freight led by a vintage EMD, bluebird skies, and no traffic on a holiday led to eight spots on what was one of the best chases I've had in a long time!
Here's spot number four of this chase of CSXT Rigby to Selkirk manifest train X42731 with 54L/50E totalling 6468 ft and 8536 tons led by CSXT 8840 (SD40-2 blt. Oct. 1978 as Conrail 6465) and a trio of big GEs. They are are at MP WOR22 on CSXT's Worcester Subdivision, the former Pan Am Railways nee Boston and Maine Railroad Worcester Mainline. At right is the 1100 ft Greendale Siding which is where CSXT and Pan Am swapped power on these trains for a time a half dozen or so years ago in a weird effort presumably to save money on horsepower hours owed to CSXT. One mile ahead at Barbers this train will enter Providence and Worcester Railroad property for a three mile run on trackage rights over their Gardner Branch to CP45 where they will regain home rails of CSXT's former Boston and Albany mainline.

37401 & 37425 on the approach to a dank and dreary Ramsgreave & Wilpshire with 1Z62, the 08.49 Derby - Ribblehead 'The Garsdale Growler' on Sun 27th August 2023.
Continuing this fun late autumn chase, Delaware-Lackawanna Railroad train PO74 is hustling west at about MP 112.8 on the Pocono Mainline, just east of the gorgeously restored 1905 built Lackawanna depot just barley visible to the left of the lead locomotive. A quartet of big Alco/MLW products lead the train: DL 3643 (MLW M636 blt. Nov. 1970 as CP 4743), 3642 (Alco C636 blt. Apr. 1968 as PC 6342), 3000 (MLW M630 blt. Dec. 1970 as PGE 706), and 3602 (MLW M636 blt. Apr. 1970 as CN 2302). The three lead units wear Genesee Valley Transportation corporate white paint while the latter remains in tattered orange and black from its years in remote northern Quebec hauling iron ore on the isolated Cartier Railway.
Historically this was once the double track Hoboken to Buffalo mainline of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad until 1960, then the Erie Lackawanna until 1976 when the latter, by then bankrupt, was folded into Conrail. The big new government carrier had little use for either of EL's mainlines instead favoring former NYC and PRR properties. Around 1980 Conrail ran its last thru freight east over the Poconos from Scranton and like so many other northeastern lines its fate seemed sealed. The line sat moribund for a decade while big blue continued to serve industries in Scranton until finally spinning off the trackage to a DL predecessor in 1991 and in 1992 the mainline saw its first trains as far as Tobyhanna after the line had been saved from removal by Monroe County. The following year the DL was formed and they have been the operator ever since with the underlying property owned by the Pennsylvania Northeast Railroad Authority since 2006 when Monroe and Lackawanna Counties merged their two independent rail agencies.
