Running in DPU service towards the tail of the train is reletter and renumber #8100. Thanks to Tom Heher for the headsup on this guy!
"Sometimes I just need a little help
Why do I try to take the world all by myself
I'm asking you please, a little help
Tell me you'll be there when I need somebody else
I need help!"...
There. I had to say it before someone else did... and I know someone will. I had to do it. Sometimes I have ideas that I can't let go. I'm not saying that they are good ideas... I'm just saying that I have to follow through with them (because I have priorities, you know. And they aren't good ones either). My Christmas shopping isn't done... barely started. The few gifts that I have purchased, aren't wrapped... and I am not sure if I will even remember the "safe places" where I hid them. But this... this is what I needed to do on my very last weekend day off of 2020. I'm not disappointed. Actually, I'm pretty pleased.
I dedicate this to all of my photography friends... the ones that still invite me to shoot with them, knowing that I am almost never available to join them on their weekend adventures, but they still ask... or they make time to include me on a week day... and then they put up with me losing my glasses, forgetting where I laid my remote shutter release down, carrying a vase of fresh flowers while climbing through windows, forget my flashlight, forget my memory card, have a dead camera battery, watch me pull clown costumes out of my bag of props... or better yet, pull out their own clown costumes and join me in photos... and let's not even mention my extreme lack of any sense of direction (Do you have any idea where we are? Because I don't. How do I get back to the room with the _____ ? What door did we come in? How do we get out?) These people encourage me, inspire me, make me laugh, teach me things, make me think, make me wonder, give me hope, make me want to be better and basically... just keep me going. These people, that others warn me about... the ones that I meet in abandoned buildings, or online... are simply the best of the best. Thank you for including me in your lives. (And yes... I stood on this bridge, dressed like this ,alone, in broad daylight, with cars going by (probably because you gave me the courage to do this... so, let's all say it together.... I NEED HELP!!)
A two-engine helper set kicks up a maelstrom of spindrift as it races eastward up Track 2, through the steep rock cut at Cassandra, in a steady light snowfall. In the distance, on Track 1, an eastbound manifest freight (with its own helper set shoving from the rear) works hard to conquer the West Slope of the Allegheny Mountains. These helper sets are a vital part of the operation to get an endless parade of eastbound and westbound trains over the hump of the Appalachians.
La segona foto que vaig poder fer De Helper Molen, bé de fet el vaig fer més, crec que és un dels problemes que tinc que faig massa fotos, i després filtro molt i finalment en queden poques, potser hauria de ser més selectiu al moment de fer-les, és una assignatura que tinc pendent, però això ja és un altra història. Les dues fotos tenen la mateixa composició, però moments de llum molt diferents i les dues m’agraden força, l’altre ja la vaig publicar fa temps.

CSXT SD40-2 #8054 is the rear unit of a two unit helper consist shoving on the rear of an eastbound autorack train at Salisbury, PA, July 20, 1996. Nikon FE2, Ilford Delta 400.
Just to prove we were actually there!!! It reminds me of the poses that the Beatles are pulling on the front of the Help! album!!
cwd1212 ~ Fruit - This is one of those assignments where taking a boring picture will be painfully easy. So don't do that. Come up with something creative and interesting!
Totally inspired by the awesome toot. I've been wanting to do something like this for more than a year now ;)
A trio of SD50s shove Baltimore coal past the station at Point of Rocks MD, August 1993. Mike R photo, JL Sessa collection.
The NB dispatcher evidently felt that Q293 was a stall risk and attached GP40-2s 6203 and 6213 as helpers for the trip over Washington Hill. The bet seems to have paid off as the train made better time by the false summit than the preceding Q425, with the two geeps just along for the ride as they clear onto the mostly-flat track at QB 137.5.
SEPTA 488, a former CTA 6000 series unit pulls away from what I think was Villanova PA in March 1`990.
Two Conrail SD40-2s shove on the rear of an eastbound freight train with a block of ballast hoppers on the rear at Cresson, PA in October 1998.
D801 shoves hard on the rear of a loaded coal train as the head end and rear end crews do battle with Saugatuck Hill. Manned helpers were required on every coal train going up the hill until very recently, when CSX began adapting the use of DPUs. Even so, occasionally a train will still be pushed over the hill by manned helpers, a rarity in railroading these days. The Executive SD70MACs with the old school BNSF logo on the nose were always my favorite BNSF units.

Le sujet interpelle, j'y retournerai plusieurs fois je pense.
Certaines sculptures feraient même assez peur...
Couldn't help but notice this young man sitting on the rocks having a quiet moment!

If anyone can get these bottle caps off, it’s bound to be this little guy! LOL! Taken for the Jules’ Photo Challenge Group: tiny Guess I did speak too soon- I am back standing in one spot to even get a cell signal. Not internet working here again. 😞
Thank you to my fans! Here are your favorite pics: the most Popular Pictures you dig from my stream. Thanks for the comments!

Three pelicans rest on a sea wall in Boca Ciega Bay near Upham Beach in St. Pete Beach, Florida. One pelican has a fishing line protruding from an area behind his leg.
The guy on the right kept turning to me, like he had something to say. I was clueless to it, trying to hold my balance on the rocks and focus on his eyes. My wife knew right away, of course, telling me as she spotted me on the rocks and approached.
All three flew away shortly after I captured this image, so I never saw it until I edited the photo in full resolution. Look closely - he's got a leader protruding from just behind his left leg, with a swivel and a bit of line dangling from it. I can't tell if there's a hook involved, but that feels like a reasonable assumption to me.
Before I knew about his predicament, I loved this photograph because it gave me a sense of technical satisfaction - three in a row, perfectly spaced, and nobody's pruning themself! And, bonus, that gaze!
Now it makes me a little sad every time I look at it.
I still love it though, because it reminds me of things that are important to me - wildlife and the environment - and the challenges they face.
Taken in Leicester city centre. I tried to talk to this man but he spoke very little English. He acknowledged that it was ok to take his picture and I gave him so money. I wish I had more to tell.

Usually I don't put night photos on flickr because it is very difficult for me to make good photo in night condition シ.
Trying out my colour merge. Was a cold day which helped the clear view. Tiff originals converted to JPG lost some quality.
Test - this is ONLY a test! AT&T is still working this issue, which is affecting the people on our small road here on the Elk River. Upload speed is sad! This is only a 22kb file- has taken all day to stay connected long enough to get here!
I have been wearing my sad face for a while now, per internet connectivity, etc.
While at Delaware Bay beach at East Point Lighthouse on June 14, 2020, I got to meet & talk to 3 ladies who were there to help & count the horseshoe crabs. This is Kathy. She was keeping a tab of how many males & females her other friends were helping. They were turning them over so they could get back to the water. Because of Covid19, the regular horseshoe count which normally takes place at night, was canceled, yet these ladies were a small cohort of helpers for this year's Horseshoe Crabs visiting East Point Lighthouse Beach in Maurice River Township, Cumberland County, New Jersey.
Great photography requires dedication, time and effort.
