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.

Early Happy Caturday!
Cheetahs are caring, affectionate and dedicated mothers. They spend a long time caring for their cubs. Cubs typically stay with their mothers for one and a half to two years.
The cheetah originated over 4 million years ago. That’s long before any of the other big cats of today. They used to be found in North America when they crossed the Bering land bridge from Asia to the Americas before becoming extinct.
The cheetah is the fastest land animal in the world, reaching speeds of up to 113km/h. They can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in just 3 seconds. When running, cheetahs use their tail to steer, like a rudder for a boat.Cheetahs are the only large cat that can turn in mid-air while sprinting.
Cheetahs do not roar like lions, however they do have a range of other meaningful vocalisations such as purring, growling and a variety of contact calls which resemble bird-like chirping sounds. -Wikipedia
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.

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.

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.

Such a treat to see her.
“A heavy mist enveloped Dartmoor, and from Combestone Tor the great earth ridges swept southerly away all smothered in vapour. Below the broken rock-piles of the tor a steep hill fell sharply, and here nothing but a foxglove or two and a withered white-thorn rose stark against the dim wall of moving mist behind them. In varying densities it floated, and sometimes it was suddenly rent and parted like a ragged veil, to reveal the gorges of Dart beneath Combestone and the neighbouring hills beyond. The world visible at these moments was dimmed to delicate jade; it appeared and vanished at the freak of the mist; and now the crowns of Yar and Sharp and Bel limned ghostly out of the welter and now again they vanished, while lower slopes were revealed. The wind dealt similarly with sound, for the cry of Dart rose up fitfully through it, and came and went, now clear, now hushed by the lull and lift of the breezes.
Beside the tor, where stood its squat and weathered piles with fingers and filaments of vapour stealing among them, there browsed a sheep or two and a shaggy mare with a little mouse-coloured foal. The infant thing squeaked and galloped hither and thither, then it sucked and presently lay down to sleep. The grey air rang and rippled with lark music, and one might have heard four separate songs tinkling together up, up, into the aerial place. Then came also another sound from the hidden Moor a strange, intermittent growl, as of some gigantic animal busy there. The muffled noise persisted, but its cause was hidden.”

I haven't been able to get new photos for a few days, so I am back to posting photos from our Yellowstone trip for a day or two. This is the Black Growler Steam Vent at Norris Geyser Basin. It constantly roars very loudly as it spouts steam as hot as 280 F degrees. It is pretty intimidating to walk by this thing with the tremendous roar and steam condensing into water droplets. It is sort of like walking through acid rain, and probably not too good for camera lenses.
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. Here are several floating just off the shore.
A few images of the small iceberg seen on the tour of the Puffin/Murre colonies in the Witless Bay Island Reserve.
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!!
Just one of the estimated 1.25 million Florida aligators!

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.

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.
