MRL called this an "unmanned" helper leading H-KCKSPO out of the west portal on Bozeman Pass. The road crew picked up this set at Livingston and cut it off here at West End for the "manned" helper to take back to its home base.
I've only had my little helpers for two days now, they are proving to be a great help around the house.
I've been quite busy this morning so when they offered to open my new bag of bird seed and fill my feeders I jumped at the chance and said yes.
Unfortunately I forgot to tell them that I prefer the bag to be opened at the top to save too much mess but by the time I found them I was too late.
Oh well, they were only trying to help,
Merry Christmas to you all.
While one set of helpers shoves a loaded oil train up and over Bozeman Pass, another helper set waits in the siding at Muir, having just shoved a grain train over the hill. The helpers would follow each other back east to Livingston.

B&O GP9 locomotives serve as tunnel helpers shoving a train over the Jones Falls River and Falls Road in Baltimore, MD, on a March day in 1975. The train had just exited the tunnel that goes under the city of Baltimore less than a mile before this location. Photo taken with a Kodak Instamatic.
Artefact. It's from the intensive observation unit and are used for people who can't speak due to some injury. I guess it's very practical and useful.
UP 8939 is getting ready to pull forward onto the main line and have the two manned helpers attach to the rear for the climb up the Cascades.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I need your help to get a question answered about scanning old analogue slide film.
I still have a suitcase full of slides. The ones I'd like to keep are from about 1986-1988 onwards, so they are at the most 28 years old. They have long been stored in a bedroom cupboard, but seem in reasonable shape for their age.
Still, I would like to see them scanned. My main purpose is to preserve the images I made in places like China, Indonesia, Mali and Cote d'Ivoire. I do not think they have great artistic or historical value, but I want to be able to look at them when I am old myself. For a start, I want to collect them in a few Blurb books. I may like some pictures enough to have them enlarged and hang them on the wall.
Obviously, drumscans would be best, but I would not know if that still makes sense given the current quality of the slides. It is also prohibitively expensive for the volume that I have. I may want to do this for the few images that I especially like and may want to enlarge at a later stage. For the mass of slides I need to find a cheaper solution.
So I found a local gentleman who scans negatives and slides professionally. This was one of the scans he made to check the quality. It was made with a Minolta 5400, but he also has a Braun PS5000 scanner, which should lead to an equivalent quality.
What would you advise me to do? Would you consider having this quality of a scanner given the purpose that I have with these pictures? What do you think of the scan quality? Are there much better machines that are cheaper than drumscans (this gentleman also had various Nikon scanners, but he had technical problems with all of them).
I was told that this would lead to scans that could be printed to a format of A4 format (21 * 29.7 cm or 8.3 * 11.7 inch). When I view this on my computer screen, I think the grain allows a larger format, although sometimes the dynamic range may be a bit low. This photo may not be the best example, since the three people seem not completely sharp, in contrast to the flags and billboard.
All your remarks and comments count. Thank you in advance for your help!
The 552 loaded coal train led by the PC Unit has NS AC44C6M 4005 as one of the helpers instead of the usual SD40-2.

For a fun interlude, this is a close-up/headshot image based off one of my more popular pics posted here on flickr in the last year+. This particular image was generated with the help of the FaceApp application, where I took a photo of a close-up of the "1992-August pic3" pic I've posted here. Then I just applied a filter in FA in part to help with the graininess of this close-up - and to have some fun with the look... :-)
Do you think he is angry with me?
Thank you all very much! This picture made it to Explore # 97 on dec.14 2006

Do either of these girls have Saran? I couldn't tell by sticking my fingers in the back of the box, LOL. So I ended up picking them both up and if one or both of them don't have saran, I send 'em back. :)

Can anyone help with the ID of this one - After spending to long trying to ID it time to ask the experts.
My first thought was that it was a Ford GT Mk.2, track day version of the 2nd generation GT, but there are aerodynamic differances, the 0404 registration would alo hint at being the $ 1.7 dollar GT Mk.IV version of the same, but that looks way to different.
So if anyone can put this to rest, i would appreciate it. Shot 05.06.2021 at the June Bicester Scramble

If someone asks me "what makes you angry and tired at the same time?", I would surely answer " Skyrim followers' replacers"
And that's because when they start to get bugged there isn't a solution to it.. you need a miracle.
This happened to Lydia, I was using sumojellybeans replacers (and still I have some difficulties to understand WHICH ones I have to use O.o) and then, one day.. bam! Lydia become a "Grey Face", losing her warpaint in the process.
And I didn't do anything to change her.
She just decided it was time to piss me off.
I deactivated the replacers, to return at the good ol' Lydia, but I want the replacers because.. the housecarls (except, ironically, Lydia) suck.
Aela vanilla sucks.
So I need your help, my trustworthy brothers-in-screenshots!
Any suggestion, advice, bug fix, mod, etc. is welcome!
In the meantime, here a pic of Lydia beign an annoying behind my character's back.
P.S this is Whisper of Winter "Side Project" :P
