On the soggy marathon drive home from Salt Lake City, I caught the rear-end of a M-HELLAU (Helena-Laurel freight, which runs as needed) as it worked its way up Bozeman Pass at Trail Creek Rd. The Helper set on the rear included the SDP40, so a brief detour to shoot them at the west portal of the Bozeman tunnel.

A Utah Railway coal empty is pictured climbing into the Gilluly, Utah horseshoe the morning of Aug. 30, 1998. Minutes out of Provo, the road power experienced a locomotive failure. Two locomotives were dispatched from Martin to rescue the stalled train, waiting at Castilla. A point helper on a Utah Railway coal train is rare in the extreme. I was super lucky to catch it.

Montana Rail Link helpers cut out of a westbound BNSF freight at Elliston, Montana, on September 17, 2012. A member of the helper crew lines the switch back for the main as the helpers get in the clear, and he will direct the front half of the train back together with the rear portion.
I've seen a lot of awesome stuff on the MRL, but this takes the cake....
The Laurel to Pasco reported they were having issues east of Lombard and weren't sure they would make Winston Hill. The dispatcher indicated there were no helpers available to run down and no other eastbounds coming and to keep making an effort to get over the hill.
As the Helena Local was finishing their work at Townsend, the dispatcher gave them the news they would be holding at Townsend for a westbound and would follow them up the hill. This gave me enough time to go to the Townsend campground to set up my tent.
Sure enough, as the Laurel to Pasco made an attempt at the hill, they slowed to a crawl and eventually required the MRL 355 and 109 approach and start to shove. Even with the extra power, the train still struggled up the hill. Eventually a "thank you" over the radio acknowledged they made it and were ready to descend into Helena... but not until the dispatcher talked the MRL 355 into the siding behind the Pasco train to meet an empty.
On a side note, the searchlights are being replaced between Logan and Helena Most of the work is done, and it is moving fast. Just a sign of the times, and soon these trains will be BNSF... sigh.
These man made irrigation (rain maker) devices are ubiquitous throughout rural Georgia as well as other areas of the country. Massive in size, they allow the watering of thousands of acres when Nature isn't providing the required water from the skies.
It’s late in the blue hour as I sit in the fireman’s seat of BNSF 6820 (EMD SD40-2 blt. Apr. 1293 as BN 6360) along for a ride as we glide west into the night on Hi Line Subdivision, the legendary ex Great Northern mainline. This unit along with sister 6818 are the Essex helper set, and back then in the era before every train had a DPU the lonely little terminal hard by the southern border of Glacier National Park dispatched helpers to boost nearly every train up the 2.2% climb to the top of Maria Pass. We are on single track near Paola about to plunge in to 1744 ft long Tunnel 2 near MP 1176.2 only 7 or so miles from the terminal beside the Izaak Walton Inn where I was lodging for a few nights.

Over the last few years of photographing hundreds of old Minnesota barns, there are some that stand out in my experience. Almost any round barn qualifies for that distinction as well as other very old barns that are simply spectacular in that they made it through a hundred years and are still standing strong.
Barns that are accompanied by unusual silos are also memorable like the one in the photo that has a wooden silo. Wooden silos help date barns as some rectangle ones were first built back in the late 1800s. A decade or so later, round wooden silos were built that resembled large barrels and were held together by adjustable steel hoops.
The silo aside this barn has long vertical boards which is a little more uncommon and without talking to someone who owns it today, I would guess this dates back to the very early 1900s.
Someone years ago did a nice job of repairing and maintaining this historic barn and silo eventually putting a tin roof on the barn to add years to its life. It would be an interesting to learn more about the background from someone who lives in that area.
A nice overall touch is the guy wire anchored to the barn and attached to the upper part of the silo as if two old structures were giving help to one another as they endure the testing of time.
Many of us who are nearing the end of our own life’s journey know what that companion help is like.

Well, rising mist on a blissfully calm October morning. Couldn't help but think of the Deep Purple riff to 'Smoke on the Water' when I was composing the shot though.
I am literally putting this out there because I have no idea how to look in on my peeps now. I've been silent yet peeking for a while because I don't have anything worthy of your consideration, imho, and I kept seeing the 'go to the activity thingy' after the 7th but, I can't find it and I have no idea how to find y'all's posts. If you go to my page you will see that I follow 101 people, four of which I know to have passed away, but I keep and visit them on occasion because I loved them and their post's, just as I do you folks, even when I don't comment I do look in and keep up and pay the 'pro' rate just to keep this thing going and have no interest in the other 'perks'. In short, you folks are more important to me than I can express, even when I'm not participating, so for the love of God, how the heck do I find your shtuff now!?
Honingsvag is the northernmost point of Europe. The area is a fascinating destination with spectacular nature and picturesque fishing villages.
January has been a very busy month for me, and surprisingly I almost made it through the entire month without shooting a moving train! Of course, it doesn't help that Pan Am Southern's Freight Main--which I currently live only five minutes from--is mostly nocturnal, and even if it wasn't the choice is usually a parade of NS widecabs or patched ex-CSX C40-8s. However, when a friend of mine alerted me to the fact that rebuilt CP SD70ACU #7012 in CP heritage paint was leading today's CP 252 down the CP D&H, a quick check of Google Maps reminded me that I'm just a little over 30 minutes from Fort Edward. Having a well-timed prep-from-home day for work, I figured I could take a little time off and do a "one and done." I arrived at Fort Edward station to see nothing around, and just as I finished checking to see that Amtrak 69, "The Adirondack," would be arriving from the south in 15 minutes, I heard an EOT chirp. A quick check of the tracks and there was 252 in the hole! I quickly relocated to Rogers Island since the light was still good for the bridge over the Hudson River. Amtrak passed northbound, and shortly after 252 could be heard throttling up and then blowing for the crossing. One last quick check of my settings and framing, and 252 quickly entered into view. Not bad for my first moving train this month!
A group of seven Rio Grande tunnel motors cut into a 105-car Savage, Utah - Los Angeles, California export coal train in Helper, Utah the afternoon of March 13, 1999.
Fall? Travillion? Northbound? Yep! Even though it was just the pusher, I got my shot I set out to get.

Dear little Primrose was helping me pick up the last of the windfalls yesterday.
It has been such a bumper harvest year for the apple tree that I am delighted to get all the help I can!
Tree mushroom in Toronto
Mushrooms are actually the fruiting body of a fungus and late-warning signs that a tree is unwell. By the time there is a mushroom on the bark of the tree, the fungus has already built a network inside and is in the process of consuming the tree from within. Who is asking for help?

The slogan on the bag reads "Every Little Helps" but a well placed crease is hiding the 'E' for a slogan that best matches the position I am in right now.
I'm struggling. Having to pack and downsize means losing things that are precious but not essential. It hurts. I know that I hold on to the memories but the objects related to those memories have been such an important part of my life. Having to do this on an ever decreasing time scale while getting breathless just walking up a flight of stairs still and suffering fatigue from lack of sleep. It's all a bit too much and there is not a lot that helps.
I just needed to share. It helps just a little to let it out. My head is spinning with so much to do.
I wish you all a very wonderful weekend of photography my dear Flickr friends.
Take care and take photos.
… Anyone who’s been to Padstow will recognise this wall with the head peering out overlooking the harbour! Not sure of its history so if anyone can tell me I’d be very interested. Happy Wall Wednesday to all on Flickr, Alan:-) HWW…..
