A few of the evening Grosbeaks have returned just in time for Christmas, I guess I had looked after them too well over the summer months
With daylight fading, a little professional courtesy from the engineer on BNSF 6826 east, as he dims his headlight and kills the ditch lights for his rolling meet with a westbound at Homer Ca.
Here's a Christmas 'Steam Sunday' bonus following up on the prior post showing Old 557 on her first day back moving on her old home rails, albeit atop a flat car. In this photo she can be seen enroute from Whittier to Anchorage behind twin GP40-2s crossing the Placer River and about to duck into the mile long Portage Tunnel at Bear Valley at about MP 5.7 on the Alaska Railroad’s Whittier Division mainline.
The Alaska Railroad's last active steam locomotive, #557, returned after a 46 1/2 year hiatus in the lower 48. #557 is a Baldwin Locomotive Works class S-160 2-8-0 Consolidation built for the US Army Transportation Corps. and diverted to Alaska in December 1944. Retired and shipped out of state in 1965, she was purchased by a wealthy Alaskan philanthropic family, repatriated to the Last Frontier, and donated back to the ARR with the provision she must be returned to active service within 8 years. To learn more about her and see many historic photos click here: www.alaskarails.org/pix/former-loco/557/index.html to check out John Comb's excellent site on all things ARR. This particular link will take you specifically to the section on #557 to learn her history and see status and progress reports. While the 8 year timeline obviously hasn't been met, progress has been remarkable and is ongoing so please check if out.

...and still it lingers
cautious it may be,
as it becomes a saga
of it's own fate
neither told nor read
unspoken as it is unheard
silenced
still
peaceful
serene
and below the surface
still, we do not know
a showpiece, perhaps
undisturbed
unperturbed
tangible, just
which may be enough...
just maybe...

Another of the beautiful old mansions in the Brush Park area of Detroit. Once home to Detroit's elite, now most are demolished or sitting empty like this. A few have been going through restoration.

Wolfbane as a kitten- first day of adoption after some HARD playing- that dratted mouse!
I am reposting this shot for Happy Caturday! - Precious Memories
This is the day back in 2007 we brought "Wolf" home! Such a tiny pale Siamese boy, and he was always pale. We lost the old guy earlier in the year (2024). I can't believe how fast the time had gone. I miss him every day.
