Just a simple portrait of a three unit helper set composed of a pair of SD70ACEs bracketing an SD40-2 at about MP 117.7 on Montana Rail Link's 2nd Sub mainline on the west outskirts of the town of Livingston. The three units boosted a westbound manifest to the top of 5702 ft Bozeman Pass and cut off the rear end at Muir ten rail miles west of here. They turned right back light engine east downhill where a loaded coal train is awaiting their assistance for another run up the grades of the old Main Street of the Northwest.

While negotiating a curve at Horse Creek, WY, C&S 2-10-2 902 ran into a spot of trouble. With the loco off the rails, the crew (and a few spectators) wait for some help in getting 902 back on the track. In the background are some of the dwellings that made up the town of Horse Creek.

Please tell me it's something more interesting than the immature white-crowned I suspect it of being, please!

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?

Colour re-edit of a shot from July 2017.
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.
The vast majority of images I do these days are macros, so just taking this photo felt strange in itself. For me, these tweezers are invaluable when I'm picking up and arranging tiny objects like the stiletto shoes in this image. The shoes are as light as a feather and only ½" long. I frequently knock them over! I find these cheap plastic tweezers are much easier to use, and far more accurate, than metal ones and I wouldn't be without them now. The background is a modern dolls house carpet.

Rio Grande SD40T-2s No. 5349, 5345, 5401, 5342, 5410, and 5406 are coupled into a Savage coal train in Helper, Utah the afternoon of Sept. 2, 2000. The unit train will soon depart for the confines and steep grades of Price Canyon to Soldier Summit.
Sheridan, WY hosts a population of about 20,000, and many of them find employment with BNSF at this northern Wyoming terminal. All trains change crews here, there's a small yard, and this town hosts a manned helper base. There aren't many manned helper operations left on BNSF, but heavy trains (primarily coal) receive assistance from Sheridan Helpers for the grades up Parkman Hill to the west and Ulm Hill to the east.
Here, a helper set departs West Yard Sheridan as it heads east to Dutch to assist a loaded coal train coming off the Dutch Sub. Several BN-era signal bridges still protect the control points around Sheridan Yard.

Experimental ! never used the video on my D7000, don't know much about it either, worth a try ;-)). Great old track from the Beatles
“One of the marvelous things about community
is that it enables us to welcome
and help people in a way
we couldn't as individuals.
When we pool our strength
and share the work and responsibility,
we can welcome many people,
even those in deep distress,
and perhaps help them find
self-confidence and inner healing.”
- Jean Vanier
“There is no hospitality like understanding.”
- Vanna Bonta
Amtrak 153 heads south into its station stop at Ashland behind a visiting engine from NS. The previous day's train 84 from Norfolk hit a substantial downed tree on the way north, causing significant damage that warranted the replacement engine. As is the tradition for these power swaps, the borrowed engine led a train back to home rails the next day.
Help!! I'm not sure what kind of bird this is! Identification is welcome. Thanks!

Racing up to Scotland with another supply train for Tesco Supermarkets is the 06.16 Daventry - Mossend Euroterminal (4S43), in the hands of DRS Sheds, 66431 and 66429. The train is making good headway as it passes Rugeley Trent Valley running some 20 minutes early.
A Rugeley early-morning classic I've been after for a while so I decided to set the alarm and chance the sun. Helpfully it played ball for one of the more photogenic freight trains of the day, even if it is Shed hauled.
The coal-fired Rugeley Power Station, even in its dormant state, still dominates the scene.

Helpers on SP 9207 West climbing Donner Pass at MP 211 east of Truckee, CA along the Truckee River on the evening of May 23, 1987.
NS 20R was the first train to travel over the Port Reading Secondary after a snow and ice storm the previous day, and it cleared snow from grade crossings along the way. An uncommon (on this part of the NS system) pair of SD40Es lead the train. 6327 has a Helperlink box on the front pilot, and these units were most likely assigned to the Altoona/Cresson helper pool.

An eastbound empty coal train arrives in the yard at Helper, Utah. Up above in the background is the Utah Railway's yard in nearby Martin, UT. Once a vital source of coal traffic itself, freight traffic on this part of the Utah Railway has unfortunately dwindled.
Just back from the Isle of Mull. This is one of many shots I took of the white-tailed eagles. It's taken from Mull Charters boat where dead fish are thrown in the water to lure the birds in for an easy meal. This results in great views and pretty easy photo opportunities which wouldn't normally be possible. A lot of credit needs to be given to Mull Charters for their help with these shots
Thanks for all the views, faves and comments
This is a shot I've wanted to take for a while but just never got around to for some reason. I think I may have just given up on it because of time in the past. Almost every time the path was clear of people and I would start to shoot here would come another person walking down the path. Then when they were clear, a security guard was walking back and forth at the exit end in to Fantasyland. Fortunately, it finally cleared up, the security guard wandered off around the corner, and I was able to get this shot people free. I really love how the doors help to frame this shot and welcome the viewer into the tunnel through Cinderella Castle.

These are kittens I fostered in 2004 for HART. An urgent plea for help from HART follows. If you live in Northern Virginia you might be able to help. If you do not live in Northern Virginia and would like to help you can look for a local rescue group working with the animals displaced by Katrina:
========================================================================
In response to the tragic events caused by Hurricane Katrina, a team of HART volunteers will travel to the affected area this Friday to bring back displaced pets. It is our hope to provide temporary safe haven and eventually reunite these unfortunate animals with their families or, where necessary, find them new homes. To that end, HART has an immediate and urgent need for:
- foster homes for cats and dogs;
- crates to use in transporting animals; and
- medical and other pet supplies.
Each of you can make a huge difference in the lives of these pets and their families, the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Here's how . . .
- FOSTER a cat or dog for a couple of months!
We desperately need more fosters to accommodate the additional cats and dogs we will bring back from the stricken areas. Whether you foster an existing HART pet to make room for Katrina's victims, or whether you take in a displaced animal, you allow HART to make a difference! You alone determine how many animals we can help this weekend! If you can foster, please send an e-mail to hartsince1990@yahoo.com . While in foster, HART will provide funds for all medical expenses. (Special thanks to the fosters who have already come forward! You are already making a difference!)
- Donate transport crates. If you do not have a used crate you can spare, consider purchasing a new one. We need these crates by the end of the day, this Thursday, September 15, for our transport on Friday. Think about it, one life at a time, you can make a difference just by providing HART with one crate.
- Donate medical and other pet supplies. Please donate canned and dry pet food, leashes, collars, towels, comforters, and other supplies. Especially, ask your vet to donate any kind of medical supplies that might be helpful in this type situation, such as flea/tick treatment, bandages, antibiotics, etc..
Please help. We must have these items to succeed with our Friday transport!
And, if you can't foster or drop off supplies, we still really, really need your financial support! With extra funds we can secure additional boarding at local vets and help more victims of Katrina. Visit www.HART90.org to donate.
There are so many ways to help. Whatever you do, do something!
