Hack, buggy, van.....whatever tickles your fancy. Providence and Worcester train CT-1 is about to tack the former NYC caboose on the hind end of their train in Wethersfield, CT before heading South back to Middletown. CSO 21226 was on loan to the P&W for making the shove over the swing bridge between Middletown and Portland, and sometimes the crew would take it for a ride elsewhere. Not too often theirs a hack in front AND behind the camera.

Originally I was going to call this one "In case of fire: Git commit. Git push. Git out" -- true geeks will get that.
Nice sunset over the White Mountains of NH the other night as viewed from Hacker Hill in Casco, ME. The days are getting A LOT shorter!
Think somebody hacked the dentist sign at the end of my road.
Wish I could say this was the weirdest part of my run today.
Six blocks later, a young guy jumped in front of me and demanded my headphones and running shoes.
Threatened me with what appeared to be a sandwich.
I said, No.
Sheesh...

The near wagon is one that I have shot before. It is a Hack Passenger Wagon c. 1862 that is in the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History collection. It was manufactured by Abbot-Downing Co. Concord, New Hampshire
This four passenger wagon is the smallest of the Hack Passenger Wagons. The lighter versions of the East were called Concord Coaches. The heavy version, suited for the rough conditions of the West, was often called a "mud wagon" or "the poor man's Concord". The leather suspension system gave a ride that was smooth by the day's standards.
This coach belonged to Petra Vela Kenedy, wife of Mifflin Kenedy. Mr. Kenedy built a ranching empire in South Texas in the mid-19th century. By the time of Mrs. Kenedy's death in 1885, the ranch comprised 390,000 acres. This coach was most likely the preferred mode of transportation for Mrs. Kenedy, who traveled frequently from the La Parra Ranch in Kenedy County to the Kenedy home on the bluff in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Looking towards Hackness during sunset. Hackness is a small village just outside Scarborough of which I often cycle through but have never photographed before.
For this image I used HDR because either the foreground was too dark or the sky was blown out. Used 0.9 and 0.6 ND grad to try and reduce the contrast between the two. In the end I ended up using a series of 5 different exposures and the ND grads.
Bay Street Shuttle Train 530 heads over the Lower Hack movable bridge, the start of the Terminal Dispatchers jurisdiction, on its way back to Hoboken Terminal.
Hacking is a factor in democratic processes that must be addressed - fake news, invasion of privacy, ... who could count the wys? Technology change must be a part of the future evolution of democracy. Right now Electronic voting machines count about 87% of the votes cast in America today. But are they reliable? Are they safe from tampering? From a current congressional hearing to persistent media reports that suggest misuse of data and even outright fraud, concerns over the integrity of electronic voting are growing by the day. And if the voting process is not secure, neither is America's democracy. Democracy must evolve!

Between 1914 and 1918, lumberjacks worked in the Wyoming Range cutting trees to produce tens of thousands of railroad ties to be used in the construction of Union Pacific track between Rawlins to Cokeville.
The men were called "tie hacks" and worked ten-hour days, six days a week, chopping down the trees by hand, then hand-hewing them into railroad ties using a broadaxe.
This hard work was done in the dead of winter in freezing temperatures with several feet of snow on the ground. The men living in work camps and small cabins dotted throughout the drainages. They skied and snowshoed to travel between workcamps and get supplies from the camp commissary.
The men were paid by the tie, which were dragged down to the streams and stockpiled during the winter. When spring high water came, the ties were broken free and sent rushing downstream to the Green River and then floated 100 miles downstream to the town of Green River, west of Rock Springs.
Tie hacks camps operated in the Wyoming Range and the eastern slopes of the Wind River Range.
Over ten million ties were taken out of the forests of western Wyoming at the turn of the century. The era ended in the early 1940s.
Remnants of old tie hack cabins can still be found today.
