Helper, Utah, 19 April 2010
In April 2010, I rode Amtrak from Sacramento to Chicago to attend the Center for Railroad Photography and Art conference in Lake Forest, Illinois, a few miles north of Chicago.
En route, I stopped and spent a day in Helper, Utah and another day In Burlington, Iowa. I'd wanted to watch trains in both places for some years and this was a chance to do so, as I was going by myself. I could not imagine my wife feeling that a stopover at Helper would have been a great idea on one of our trips to the east coast to visit her family.
Helper is at the east end of the climb over Soldier Summit, which takes the former Rio Grande Deniver-Salt Lake City main line from the drainage of the Colorado River to the drainage of the Great Salt Lake.
The photos start with a view out the rear car as we pass Soldier Summit, then a few shots of Castle Gate before we arrive in Helper, bright and early.
At one time, this was quite a busy yard, but with less traffic on the former DRGW, and DPUs in common use, there are fewer trains that need helper units over the mountain.
The empty storefronts in the town reflect fewer people living in the area, as railroading and coal mining have declined in the area.
I stayed at a motel at the west end of town, so it was several blocks of bag drag down the quiet main street before checking in. A move was being filmed at the hotel and I watched a couple of scenes being filmed. I don't recall the name of the movie, but I don't recall ever seeing it released...perhaps it was an art house film.
After dropping my bags in my room, I went for what I intended to be a short walk. A 55 Chevy was in a parking lot. I got photos of that and then wound up following a ballast train (chasing a train on foot, it was going so slowly!) up the hill. The ballast train was pulled by a patched C&NW GE. A westbound coal train overtook the ballast train as I watched.
I walked as far as Utah Railway Junction. The Utah brought a train out of Martin and it stopped. I waited around for a while, but the Utah train didn't go any farther and I had not brought water, as I'd intended this to just be a short walk that had gone a lot longer are farther than expected, so I went back to the hotel.
The movie was filming in the office when I had first arrived and when I got back from my walk the crew was chatting with a couple of actors taking a break outside,...the woman in a man's shirt that was long enough to cover her hips and the guy in a towel.
My next walk was into town, producing photos of the nearly empty yard an underpass with faded Rio Grande lettering.
A couple of eastbound UP mainfiests came through, including one with a wrapped up Siemens LRV on a flatcar. The ballast train returned with the C&NW GE running short hood forward.
Next destination was the Utah's shops at Martin. Utah's units had a mix of Utah red/gray paint and G&W orange.
Upon my return to the hotel, an outdoor scene was being shot for the movie. Actors were sitting around a table and a chef and waiters brought food. This shot was repeated maybe a dozen times until the director was happy with it. Another UP eastbound manifest rolled up the crossing near the motel and stopped for a while, allowing me to get it from several angles, including one featuring an old truck that I've seen used as a prop in other photos.
The westbound California Zephyr was due at sunset and I shot it near the motel, across the track with a dramatic sky.
A good day for photography, even if the Utah no longer ran Alcos or F45s and the railroad through town was no longer the Rio Grande

This incredible mother of two darling boys needs help immediately. Recently she has developed severe seizures and other debilitating symptoms which were diagnosed as a pineal brain tumor which needs to be operated on ASAP before things get worse or even likely Rachel could lose her life.
Right now, her life has come to a screeching halt as she is riddled with such severe seizures, headaches and other warning signs from the tumor which prevent her from doing practically anything. The in-network surgeons aren't able to help her as either none have operated as deep in the brain where the type of tumor she has resides or they have failed. She NEEDS to go to an out-of-network surgeon and has found two who are willing and able, one of whom can operate soon, but either way her insurance only covers a small portion and she must come up with approximately $74,000 BEFORE the operation.
Frankly, Rachel needs emergency brain surgery to save her life. Please consider donating or at least sharing the link to her fundraising campaign to help so she can get her surgery scheduled. Hopefully it won't be too late to avoid serious complications. Rachel is the sweetest most selfless person you could ever hope to meet. Currently her husband and children are feeling desperate and almost helpless as they scramble to save this wonderful woman. The dear, sweet boy seen here with her told her, "I know you don't feel good mommy but I love you & it's going to get all better. I'm always going to be your baby". Please help her family and friends keep this Angel on earth out of harm's way.

But Janja sneered back. “Help you? Help YOU?” Janja leaned over the side of the cliff and flashed a heartless smile. “Why would I want to help you, Kion? You’re right where I always wanted ya to be. How’s it feel being the one in trouble this time?” he asked, laughing happily.
Suddenly, the rocks gave away. Kion’s feet slipped out into space. Only his forepaws kept him from tumbling after. “Janja, please! Whatever you want, this can wait!”
“Whatever I…?” A very different kind of smile spread across Janja’s face. This had not occurred to him. “I mean, yeah. Alright, Kion. If you want my help, first you’re gonna have to make me a few promises…”

Geoff French, President ICE.Image by Guy Hinks. Glasgow2014 will promote the nation’s world-class engineering skills..THE Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games will help grow Britain’s world-class reputation for building temporary and permanent sporting venues, according to one of the UK’s top civil engineers. ..Geoff French, the new president of the Institution of Civil Engineers – which represents 82,000 members worldwide – made the comments during a four-day tour of some of Scotland’s flagship infrastructure projects, including The SSE Hydro, the Emirates Arena including Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome and the Commonwealth Games Athletes Village in Glasgow...“The UK’s reputation improved considerably as a result of the quality of venues for the London 2012 Olympic Games and I look forward to seeing Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games continue that legacy,” said Mr French, who has 40 years’ experience as a consulting engineer working on major transport infrastructure projects around the world, including the public inquiry into Heathrow Terminal 5 and major transport studies for governments including Saudi Arabia, Iraq and South Africa...“The fact that these venues were so praised was a tribute to the people that planned, designed and constructed them, and to the way that decisions were made about the long-term use of these games facilities,” Mr French continued...“The beauty of some of these structures is that because they were designed from the outset to be temporary, they can be taken down and used elsewhere.”..Accompanying Mr French on his tour of the Emirates arena, Councillor Archie Graham, Executive Member for the Commonwealth Games and Chair of Glasgow Life, said: “Glasgow has long been recognised for its rich architectural, sporting and cultural heritage. But the addition of several modern world-class venues in recent years has given the city an added dimension - and further enhanced our reputation as one of the world’s must-see cities.. .“The Emirates Arena is a fine example of exceptional engineering and I understand why one of the UK’s top engineers was so keen to visit. We are extremely proud of the Emirates Arena and Geoff French was clearly very impressed by what he saw. I look forward to the Emirates, and all our other fantastic Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games venues, being opened up to a worldwide audience next summer.”...Mr French said he wanted to use his presidency to raise awareness of the vital role of civil engineers in society. ..He said: “Engineers do things that are critical to everyday life – from ensuring that there are power stations delivering clean water to houses; that there is infrastructure in place to take away sewage, to improving the roads, the railways and public transport in general.”..“In a way the civil engineers behind all that infrastructure are a very well kept secret. We need to communicate what we do much better to the general public and to politicians and policymakers. That’s not because we want to increase our own sense of importance, but because the country – be it Scotland or the UK – is going to need more engineers in future to keep delivering these services for increasing numbers of people.” ..Mr French is also visiting the Forth Replacement Crossing, Edinburgh Tram project and Hydroelectric schemes in Pitlochry. ..End....

At the cemetary, Daphne was chased by three skeletons.
Chiltern Railways 168 113 runs through Bordesley station with 1H43 14.54 Birmingham Moor Street to London Marylebone. The station only sees one train a week, in one direction, so the help point probably doesn't see much use.
Too often we are told that we cannot. We cannot do this, we cannot do that. We are forced into a small area in which we are allowed to roam, as if in a caste system. Sometimes we find ourselves vying to escape this frame that we’re trapped in, and it can seem impossible to be set free. But eventually, you can’t help but wonder what kind of things could be waiting on the other side?

Help Flickr friends - I've had this beaded belt for a long time. I'm about 99% sure that it was made in southern Africa but don't know where exactly it comes from. Ndebele? Zulu? Other? Do you know?
I'm serious. I can't seem to get rid of it, and I need some help, in nice simple language about how to. I'm not on cable TV. I'm on a converter box that lets a very limited number of channels through. Up until recently I could get 3 or 4 public broadcasting stations, very clearly, and one ABC channel pretty clear. My daughter, bless her heart, helped me get it hooked up so I could access DVD player and VHS player, and those pictures do not have the black rectangle. Only the Television images. Any ideas, please?
P. S. It is not about what show is on; I just picked anything to take a picture of where it is black. Thanks.
