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.

Many thanks to all who take the time to comment and fav. I very much appreciate it.
Constructive criticism is welcome if it helps my photography improve.
Finally managed to get out again for a sunrise shoot!
I decided to give my old Tokina 11-16 lens another run (now that I've got a new crop camera - Canon 7D mk ii).
Unfortunately, a lack of cloud and sunrise color didn't welcome me back - but the moss covered rocks and a couple of filters helped extract some life from the moment!!!
Hope you like this!!
Thanks always for your comments, views and favorites - very much appreciated!!!!
Have a fantastic day and weekend!!!
Hopefully I'll be a bit more active on flickr again soon.......

HELLO EVERYONE, I HAVE A LITTLE DOUBT TO SEE IF IT'S MINE OR WHAT, BUT CAN YOU TELL ME IF THE BLUE AND YELLOW LIPSTICK LOOK LIKE MORE FLATS IN COMPARISON WITH THE REST OF COLORS? THANKS FOR THE HELP.

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.
A fresh Southern Heritage Unit leads ethanol loads east under the C&NW coaling tower. A nice sucker hole of light helped with the scene.
After shoving a train to the top of Bozeman Pass, this MRL helper set glides eastward back down to Livingston to shove the next train up.

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.

The two C424m’s that served as as helpers from Hornell are now leading the Delaware & Hudson salt train over the Genesee & Wyoming at Griegsville, New York. NOTE: My slide is labeled as being at Griegsville, but I can’t find anything that resembles this scene on Google maps. Pleae let me know if this is another location.
As I frequently use wide-angled lenses, I feel that my shots generally benefit from viewing after pressing L and then F11 :-)
To all who view and/or comment on my pix; each is a help and a pleasure in equal measure. Thank you.
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.

Facing the Erhai Lake and connecting with the Jizu Mountain, Shuanglang always offer people with its most charming sceneries. Wondering through the cobblestone-paved streets filled with old dwellings of Bai people, tourists can not only be treated with pristine sceneries but also a sense of peace. People here live a simple but happy life, fishing in the Erhai Lake all year around. In addition to those well-preserved folk houses, some hotels or inns that are characterized by different themes are also the most attractive part of the village. Enjoying the scenery of the Erhai Lake in scenery room of a small hotel here may make a big difference to guests and help them to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Little things in the woods on a walk with Charlie. He is so close to the ground that I have to get close to the ground too.

Hallo everyone,Happy New Year!
"What are you talking about now?"
Yes,sorry for the late greetings and replies!
Hēbē in ancient Greek religion, is the goddess of youth (Roman equivalent: Juventus). She is the daughter of Zeus and Hera. Hebe was the cupbearer for the gods and goddesses of Mount Olympus, serving their nectar and ambrosia, until she was married to Heracles (Roman equivalent: Hercules); her successor was Zeus' lover Ganymede. Another title of hers, for this reason, is Ganymeda. She also drew baths for Ares and helped Hera enter her chariot.
Hebe was supposed to have the power to give eternal youth, and in art is typically seen with her father in the guise of an eagle, often offering a cup to him.

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!
70002 fell over near Brightside this morning around 11:15 working 6M89 Dewsbury to Earles discharged cement tanks. 66606 was sent from Earles on a rescue mission.
Surprisingly a new location for me, the pair approach Earles sidings.
I had planned to find a location around here for 37610, but the train was running some 10 minutes early so took the shot elsewhere. Definitely a spot to return to.
Ever feel lost and totally out of place? Now imagine being a foot tall wearing a fruity-colored diaper in a big city. I found this chihuahua Tuesday in downtown Raleigh, N.C.

I renew my best Wishes for a New Year full of things you love....
Thanks so much for your support in this year :)
I have two new helpers for the Christmas cookie baking: Baby Groot and Kitchenaid. I'm going to need their help! I'm getting a VERY late start!
