By now it is well know what I love about music. Interesting compositions, harmonies, smart, deep lyrics and basically all music theories reinterpreted are a good indication that I will like a song. There are a few music styles I don't cover much because I enjoy them only in certain situations (techno for example only on the dancefloor, most hip hop is just boys talking about women.. that sort of things) and certain artists I just don't 'feel'. But every now and then one of those surprise me.. and I start to listen again and again just to figure out why I like one particular song in their catalogue. And that's the case with this one. The beat is almost boringly repetitive, the arrangement.. well.. contemporary pop. Yet the lyrics.. it fits. What do we learn from this? Never judge prematurely.. and there is no bad musc, just different taste and moods 😁
I've been watching you
For some time
Can't stop staring
At those oceans eyes
Burning cities
And napalm skies
Fifteen flares inside those ocean eyes
Your ocean eyes
No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you gimme those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Falling into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes
No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you gimme those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Falling into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes
I've been walking through
A world gone blind
Can't stop thinking of your diamond mind
Careful creature
Made friends with time
He left her lonely with a diamond mind
And those ocean eyes
No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you gimme those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Falling into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes
No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you gimme those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Falling into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes
No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you gimme those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Falling into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes
No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you gimme those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Falling into your ocean eyes

BNSF 1665 is waiting signal indication to proceed south over the Palmer Divide and onto the single-track main portion of the Joint Line on the north side of Palmer Lake, CO.
The was a beefier-than-normal Pikes Peak Local which was a nice surprise. The dual air conditioning units were much-needed on this particular day as temps in the Pikes Peak Region hovered in the mid-to-upper 90s. I caught the BNSF 1665 a couple of times in my railfanning life, once when it ran as BNSF 8014 14 years ago in North Dakota and two years ago when it was still in its fading H1 paint:

Confessional: As it was stopped at the time, I had to turn the ditch lights on in Post. Interestingly, by the time I got back to my car, the ditch lights were on and the PPL would be rolling a few minutes later. I could have gone back to re-shoot with the lights on...but it was just too hot, especially knowing they could be turned on in my air conditioned living room hours later!
So, here it is, the last shot of the Autumn road-trip. This is from the bridge over the Quechee Gorge in Vermont. There were promising indications of a good sunset, but this was as good as it got.
This was taken with a single shot, due to the difficulty in positioning the tripod on the bridge against one of the holes in the fence. I did take many shots but there was slight movement between each, so I was glad that I had also taken an "insurance shot" where I maximized the focus and exposure as best as possible for a single shot.
Although this is the last image from this trip, I have one more bonus image to come tomorrow, which was taken after the trip but is of similar theme with the rest of the images.
You can see all the images from this trip on my website here: www.justinsmithphoto.com/galleries/recent
I thought I would share with the community two shots of the identical subject with different aperture settings - 2.8 and 4.0 - although admittedly from two subsequent mornings when the light was different. This one is probably a better photograph, but the other one, with the exuberant bokeh, seems more fun.
PS. - this was taken a old-school manual lens so ignore the aperture indication on the EXIF - this photo was taken at F4.0. And the lens is NOT 21 mm - it's 100mm Meyer Optik Trioplan.
I'm struggling to comprehend the seeming speed with which life has transitioned from manageable to the unimaginable. The preoccupation is rightly with the coronavirus itself. But ultimately the psychological aspect of longterm stress and anxiety might prove equally disabling. Each day brings an increased awareness that this is going to be a long term situation with effects that will surely outlast the virus itself. I'm clinging to daily routines in an effort to maintain mental health. But it's deeper than that. I need to feel a sense of self worth; a need to exist. There has to be more to a day than watching endless news coverage. It's important to be dialed into events, but I fear the hypnotic effect of ongoing news feeds. Balance is key right now. It will be a process of discovery for many of us as routines change, perhaps radically, as we find out how exactly we will fit into the new model. It will be a process.
We're on the verge of the vernal equinox; the first day of Spring in the northern hemisphere is Thursday. Normally a time of year filled with hope and optimism. Likely to go all but unnoticed this year. I was scrolling through an old email queue yesterday looking for a past communication. There I stumbled upon threads from exactly one year ago. They were filled with discussion of problems and issues with jobs that seemed paramount at the time, but utterly trivial now. How I wished those sorts of problems were the worst thing in life now.
The other day I noticed a very challenging astrological makeup for this week starting tomorrow, March 18. An astounding six planets will cluster in the sign of Capricorn. The indication is one of a tipping point being crossed. Perhaps a big disclosure is in the offing. The tension will remain strong through early next week. Stay safe.
A big creation deserves a big name - that's how 3LUG rolls. Of course, when I say 3LUG, I mean Nick Kappatos and myself. Nick and I started discussing a joint display at the end of BrickFair 2008. We spent most of the last year nailing down our layout and avoiding each other, then began construction in July. We started BrickFair 2009 sleep-deprived, nearly resulting in a fight club, but everybody kept their shirts on (for the most part) and 'The Faded Giant' was ready for action.
We were lucky enough to get help from our families while building this behemoth; our wives laid down copious amounts of brick. We also got lots of help from friends during setup - thanks to Adrian Drake, Carter Baldwin, Nick's brother, Stunt Drivin' Steve Witt, and others.
If the questions we were asked at BrickFair are any indication, you readers are no doubt wondering what the story is behind this dio. While we have a basic story in mind, 3LUG policy is to leave much of the story up to the imagination of the viewer. An alien ship has crash-landed in a park in Neo-Tokyo. Military and Police units are starting to respond, as members of the public react in various ways. Is the military more interested in the craft, or in the civilians who saw it? Why did the alien ship crash? Was it a pilot error? Shot down? No wings or landing gear? You decide.
An indication that Britain's only named wind is blowing is the long plume of cloud running parallel to the Pennines and extending for some distance between the hills and the Eden Valley. This cloud is known as the Helm Bar.
The wind blows when we are getting our weather from the East. It is in effect a standing wave of rapidly moving air. Other mountainous areas in the country exhibit the same wind with the accompanying cloud but the Cross Fell wind is the only one named. Mallerstang Edge has a similar weather phenomenon when conditions are right
...Shakin' That...
I like this one. It's kinda quirky in that even though we know they are dancing the only indication are the airbourne tassles.

Baltit Fort or Balti Fort is an ancient fort in the Hunza valley in the Northern Areas of Pakistan.
In former times survival of the feudal regimes of Hunza was ensured by the impressive Baltit fort, that sit on top of Karimabad. The foundations of the fort are said to date back around 700 years, but there have been rebuilds and alterations over the centuries. In the 16th century the Thum married a princess from Baltistan who brought master Balti craftsmen to renovate the building as part of her dowry. The architectural style is a clear indication of Tibetan influence in Baltistan at the time.
The Mirs of Hunza abandoned the fort in 1945, and moved to a new palace down the hill. The fort started to decay and there was concern that it might possibly fall into ruin. Following a survey by the Royal Geographical Society of London, a restoration programme was initiated and supported by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture Historic Cities Support Programme. The programme was completed in 1996 and the fort is now a museum run by the Baltit Heritage Trust.

EXPLOSIVE SONG, is the first indication of its presence, and often the last, as they are very skulking, you have to be very lucky to see one, this was taken at Oare Marshes, Kent, U.K, several weeks ago, came hope thinking it was not good enough to show, but am desperate to find something better at the moment.

Although they are known as "The Twelve Apostles," there are currently only eight of the original 12 rock formations still standing off the southern coastline of Australia near Port Campbell, Victoria. Four have toppled into the sea over time. In the image above, you see two on the east side the headlands that bisects the remaining formations. Ominous dark storm clouds were the first indications of a squall headed our way.
Perhaps an indication of what we were in for the following day weatherwise, dour conditions at Crawford as a DRS intermodal thunders past.

...or the picture that nearly didn't get taken and probably shouldn't have! I was concerned by the strengthening wind around Loch Assynt and wondered about the sensibility of pressing on to Stoer Point. It didn't allay my concerns when having decided to 'give it a look' I met the owners of the only other car in the Stoer lighthouse car park who told me the wind was getting worse and they had had trouble standing up. Still it's not as if I dislike heights and exposure.... :). I really didn't believe my (bad) luck when having ignored the sensible option and worked my way onto the cliff top (keeping a good distance from the edge) I found my shooting location was already 'taken' by a group of 10 or so grazing cows/bullocks, one of which stood head and shoulders above the others. I took the decision to let them get on with it and chose a far from ideal place to shoot from. Through curiosity or just to join their mates already around the lighthouse the cows started to head down the path in front of me . Each stopped and had a good stare as they passed but then just carried on. After a few had passed without incident I was becoming more comfortable around them and continued my 'sunset vigil'. For some reason I glanced to my right and got a very unwelcome surprise. The largest of the heard (with fearsome horns!! :) ) had decided not to follow the path and was now just 10 feet from me, stock still and staring me down. I had no idea about the protocol here, did I sit tight or run away bravely (or would that itself provoke a reaction?) I chose the latter, though it was more of a slow tactical retreat and thankfully the big guy, with me now out of his way, just carried on to join the others. It meant that I could now move to where I had originally wanted to be but my nerves were jangling after my bovine close-encounter and a 50+Kt wind trying to push me ever towards the cliff edge. Thankfully there was already a little colour in the sky, though I was really disappointed that the sea gave no visual indication of the conditions. Anyway I got this shot, having to crank up the ISO to keep the shutter speed fast enough to avoid blur from the buffeting and then, with still 20 minutes until the sunset, finally made the sensible decision to call it a day.
(Out of interest, can anyone advise what is the best/safest way to react around loose cows and bullocks - just in case I end up on a windy cliff top with them again).

Sensational tresses like locks of snow
Passionate eyes like embers aglow
A pale face with indication of desire
Surrounded by subtle white fire
Delicate limbs carved by ice
Shrouded in thy gown of sleet
Alluring smile; we it shall entice
Still she lies, so quiet and sweet
Enclosed by the winter white
A single loved and precious sight
On the wind her whispers ride
and on the wind the hymn does glide
Upon the horizon the sun ascends
When the wind dies down and the hymn does end
The silence falls and she makes amends
With still and peace her heart does mend
As an indication of the history attached to All Saints’ Church at Tilbrook in Cambridgeshire, there is evidence of construction dating from every century from the 12th to the 16th, Victorian rebuilding in the 19th century and 20th century renovations. The tower and spire were built in the 14th century.
Racing across the plains of Northeastern New Mexico, Amtrak's Southwest Chief prepares to knockdown a clear indication at the 706 semaphores.
These will be the last semaphores the Chief encounters as it travels another 1,146 miles to Chicago; a testament to how rare and historic these signals are.
Many have speculated how long these semaphores will remain in service. Rumor has it, new signal mounts are already being installed along this section of railroad. The last remaining mainline semaphores could soon be history.

While not an indication of our accomodation this caravan wreck caught my eye. I did feel that the number of wrecked cars and other decrepit stuff wasn't too bad considering the distances.
Somerset is an historic place - a ruined area of a former administrative centre with a history of violence against the local indigenous people who were not backward in attacking the invaders of their lands. The area had a lot of historic graves but not much else due to a fire in the 1960's.

An old, restored Humble gas station in Madisonville, TX. Strangely, there is no indication on who is restoring this - no indication of city or museum involvement. It’s just there on a major intersection as if it were open for business (which it wasn’t).
As always, your comments and faves are appreciated. Constructive criticism and suggestions are especially welcome as I believe they help to make me a better photographer. Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos.

Almost a 100 years old and still working. This is a tiny detail spotted in a big and surprisingly beautiful water pumping station nearby. These are little indication tubes of the lubrication system, to check if there's oil going to the valves of one of the huge, functional, lovingly maintained original engines.
Not that I knew this.
I just thought it was pretty.
The automatic signals near Boone, CO restore back to default indications after an eastbound train cleared NA Junction. As part of a 1967 line consolidation between Santa Fe and the Missouri Pacific, the parallel lines from NA Junction to Pueblo were merged into a single line. MoPac removed their line between Pueblo Junction and Avondale and Santa Fe removed their line between Avondale and NA Junction. The diamond at NA was removed having a turnout connecting the Santa Fe to the MoPac line with each road leasing the line from the other for the maintenance of their portion.
The MoPac line beyond NA has been long abandoned by UP, given to V&S to operate the line, but rather wanted to scrap it. The state of Colorado stepped in and blocked V&S from scrapping the line, and at my observation it has minor work being done to maintain the line for local farmers.
I rarely shoot the far west end of CSXT's ex Boston and Albany mainline other than State Line Tunnel and Chatham, so I made a point to go out a couple times this fall to check out some new spots and revisit some old ones. CSXT M426 (Selkirk to Rigby manifest) has a trio of elderly AC4400CWs led by repainted 477 as it rounds the curve amidst some great late fall foliage at about MP 163.9 (as measured from South Station in Boston) on modern day CSXT's busy Berkshire Sub. This view looks down off the NY State Route 22 overpass above the swamp and small pond alongside Flat Brook.
The west end of the B&A is a pretty fast railroad making it a challenge to chase, but this day turned out to be different because the NC dispatcher in Jacksonville had called informing them that the prior westbound train had left a track light in their wake which turned out to be a broken rail just over the state line in Massachusetts. After a pause for a bit at CP171 they were allowed to proceed east on a restricting indication making for a leisurely chase and many more photos than would otherwise have been possible. This is one such example of that because if they'd been running at track speed I'd have had to choose either this shot or the tunnel or the state line marker....not all three like I got!

Boat-billed Herons are named for their oddly shaped bills that resemble an overturned row boat.
Boat-billed Heron have shorter legs and squatter bodies than most herons. Their distinguishing features are their large broad bill and large dark eyes. The eyes are an indication of their foraging behavior, which takes place at dusk and early night. Males and females look the same in this species.

The first indication of the presence of an Eastern Water Dragon as you walk by one of the lagoons at Sandy Camp Road is the splash as it vacates the sunny branch it was stretched along and dives for the safety of the water.
As an indication of Walberswick's wealth from the 14th century onwards, its very ostentatious church only stood from 1492 until 1690, two hundred years. They removed the roof, its lead (and presumably roof timbers) being used in the new smaller church, or sold to fund it. With the roof gone, the large church no doubt became dilapidated quite quickly, although its thick outer walls survive to this day. In fact the old church dwarfs the new and it seems surprising that they didn't demolish more of it over the centuries.
Just when Stormtrooper Bruce had planned the perfect Movie Night, with an endless supply of movies, food and drinks to last the entire weekend, the announcement was made that this Friday attendance was mandatory, to welcome the newest additions at Palpatine’s notorious Petting Zoo. In a panic, STB reached out to the guys pleading with them to get there early, so they could get “it” over with … and the sooner the better!
TK-432: I just don’t get it. Why force everyone to come today?
STB: Because the P has strange ideas about what is pettable and what will eat you up. Besides, you know what they say.
TK-432: Umm … No, I don’t know.
STB: The Force is strong with our Supreme Leader.
TK-1110: Dude! You didn’t just go there, did you?!?
STB: Sorry, I couldn’t resist. And yes, resistance is futile. But watch out, you two! Don't forget, those bunnies can bite through armor!!
TK-432: Any idea what kind of creatures we’re supposed to be welcoming?
TK-1110: No idea. But I hope those things at the entranceway aren’t an indication!
STB: I’ve got a bad feeling about this. Why is that Super Battle Droid standing in the doorway?
TK-432: Probably to make sure no one sneaks in.
TK-1110: Hardy har har! So funny I forgot to laugh! Why the P thinks this will be a great way to kick off the summer season is beyond me.
STB: Too bad your transporter was delayed. This will probably be three hours we’ll never get back! At least we know we have Movie Night to look forward to, once we get out of here!
TK-432: Well, I know one thing … attendance is definitely mandatory to that!
TK-1110: So say we all!

Off-track Article Indication Game
Martin took an IPO tracking course with Shade Whitesel to work on Bosco's long standing issue of adamantly refusing to indicate articles on the track. [Bosco indicates an article by doing a straight sphinx down with his front paws framing the article.] Bosco has a gorgeous tracking style but he also has a very high hunt drive. The desire to search always wins over operant article indication. Martin finds this training issue to be incredibly frustrating since the goal of tracking is to find the articles.
In the photo, Martin is working on an exercise to build value for article indications off the track. Martin does his tracking homework at 6:15 AM and occasionally, there is a beautiful dense fog. I rarely take tracking photos because I need to video Martin's homework for his online course but I couldn't resist trying to capture the moody atmosphere. I chose to make the image black and white because the grass was so obscenely green from all the rain that it looked fake or like I made poor photo editing decisions. :)
how the little fella ended up with a sore front right paw unfortunately ... probably stepped wrong in a hole in the back country dirt road ... he barely gave any indication that anything was up on the 2 hr ride, it was only after we got back and he'd rested a little before he started lifting it and limping a little. I let him rest a day or 2 and it seemed to be fine, then a week later he got out of bed hopping around, didn't want to put any pressure on it ... okay off to the vet who struggled to get any kind of pain reaction while manipulating his toes, but the best guess was his first toe had probably sustained some kind of soft-tissue injury ... 1 weeks bed rest and some anti-inflammatories ... his last tablet tonight, so see how he goes over the next few days.
the scenery was pretty, we saw plenty of sheep, a baby lamb, some Angus cows, a few horses, a yard full of old rusted cars, a rose farm and a vineyard, among other things :-)
There was no indication of what this pretty bloom is, and it looked to me like it was growing from the Peruvian Maidenhair Ferns (or Silver Dollar Ferns) but from what I've read, they don't have flowers. The petals are the shape of the fern's leaves, and I like their soft, dusty pink flower. They were hanging down, so this is a Dutch angle. A 3-inch long section.

So... an other indication about my "world". This is a piece of music which could seem to you in contradiction with the rest of my musical style... I am fascinated by early music, and more particularly of baroque period... Good listening!

Apologies for the drab background. Easy enough to fix in Elements but I decided to leave as is because it’s kind of an indication of what we are going thru up here courtesy of the state of Washington with its wildfires. Usually it’s the Canadian wildfires drifting down to the northern states but they decided to return the favor this year. Yes, and that’s me behind the lens (not visible) coughing and sputtering and trying to retain focus on this female Northern Harrier. She completely ignores me which does not surprise me because she’s about a 100 yards or so away and I had no idea what she was until I cropped this shot on the computer and did some research. Who do I think you are?
Supremely proud of this shot, no, not because of its quality, it really is not that great, but because of the trials and tribulations I went thru just to get to the location to get this shot. It actually took me two attempts spread over two days to find the viewing platform on Big Lake in Lois Hole Centennial Park. (Another sign why I don’t work as a tracker). This is a wonderful park with an amazing variety of wildlife. The only thing more amazing is the lack of signs directing you to this park. And once you get to the parking lot, there is the fifteen minute walk to get to the platform. It’s actually a very nice walk if you are into walking and the view from the platform is well worth the effort. As I collapse onto the bench (provided on the platform) catching my breath, I am wondering why I can’t be satisfied with yard shots where refreshments of my choice are only a wish away and where I could await the return of normal air in comfort.
Be that as it may, I remain out there for about four hours in 28C degree heat until the lack of breakfast and dehydration get the better of me and I need to return to the fridge to rehydrate. Some more shots from Big Lake to be posted later. After rehydration process is complete.

I suppose it's used, too, but I haven't seen any indication so far.
It was raining a little at the time. I was so excited, I wasn't aware the raindrops on the filter. The rainbow lasted about 20min after I saw it and drove to this location.
wikipedia:
Supernumerary Rainbow: Occasionally, another beautiful and striking rainbow phenomenon can be observed, consisting of several faint rainbows on the inner side of the primary rainbow, and very rarely also outside the secondary rainbow. They are slightly detached and have pastel colour bands that do not fit the usual pattern. They are known as supernumerary rainbows...The very existence of supernumerary rainbows was historically a first indication of the wave nature of light, and the first explanation was provided by Thomas Young in 1804.

More photographs or Cymer Abbey can be found here: www.jhluxton.com/Wales/Gwynedd/Cymer-Abbey/
Cymer Abbey (Welsh: Abaty Cymer) is a ruined Cistercian abbey near the village of Llanelltyd, near Dolgellau, Gwynedd, Wales.
Cymer Abbey was founded in 1158-9 and dedicated to the Virgin Mary under the patronage of Maredudd ap Cynan ab Owain Gwynedd (d. 1212), Lord of Merioneth and grandson of Owain Gwyned and his brother, Gruffudd ap Cynan, prince of N. Wales (d. 1200). It was a daughter house of Abbeycwmhir in Powys.
The remains of the church and west tower are very plain, but substantial with walls surviving about nave archway height. It is a simple nave with aisles, lacking northern and southern transepts, and the choir and presbytery are incorporated into the nave. The abbey has buff sandstone dressings and some red sandstone carvings, but is primarily of local rubble construction. The foundations of the cloister and other monastic buildings are visible to the south. The abbot's house remain to the west of the site and have been extensively remodelled as a farmhouse.
Like other Cistercian communities in Wales, Cymer Abbey farmed sheep and bred horses, supplying them to Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Llewelyn the Great. Llewelyn gifted the Abbey mining rights in 1209. However, despite this the Abbey was not prosperous: it lacked much arable land and had limited fishing rights . In 1291 annual income was £28 8s 3d. The Welsh Wars of Edward I (1276–77 and 1282-3) probably contributed to the abbey's relative poverty, for instance the failure to build the usual Cistercian central tower is one indication of this. While Alun John Richards argues that the cooler climate of the 14th century unduly affected the Abbey's lands which were largely mountainous.
The Abbey was a base for the troops of Prince Llywelyn ap Gruffudd in 1275 and 1279. In 1283 Edward I occupied the Abbey and a year later gave the Abbey compensation of £80 for damage caused in the recent wars.
By 1388 the monastery was home to no more than five monks and it seems that there was a marked decline in the standard of religious observance. In the survey of 1535, the annual income of the house was valued at little over £51 and the abbey was dissolved with the smaller monasteries in 1536-7, most likely in March 1537. The monastery was small and relatively unimportant. However, Cymer did possess a fine, thirteenth century silver gilt chalice and paten (Eucharist plate), which must have been hidden at the Dissolution; rediscovered in 1898,under a stone at Cym-y-mynach, they are now in the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff.
A small stream runs south of the cloister, and the site is on the banks of the River Mawddach and lies just above the confluence of the River Wnion with the Mawddach Cymer; and therefore the monastery was given the full title of Kymer deu dyfyr, which means ‘the meeting of the waters’. It was sited at the lowest ford across the Mawddach.
It is now in the care of Cadw. As with other monastic sites in England and Wales, the abbey did not survive the Dissolution of the 1530s, and parts of the fabric were recycled for their dressed stone.
Shadows cast across Mimas' defining feature, Herschel Crater, provide an indication of the size of the crater's towering walls and central peak.
Named after the icy moon's discoverer, astronomer William Herschel, the crater stretches 86 miles (139 kilometers) wide -- almost one-third of the diameter of Mimas (246 miles or 396 kilometers) itself.
Large impact craters often have peaks in their center -- see Tethys' large crater Odysseus in PIA08400. Herschel's peak stands nearly as tall as Mount Everest on Earth.
This view looks toward the anti-Saturn hemisphere of Mimas. North on Mimas is up and rotated 21 degrees to the left. The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Oct. 22, 2016 using a combination of spectral filters which preferentially admits wavelengths of ultraviolet light centered at 338 nanometers.
The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 115,000 miles (185,000 kilometers) from Mimas and at a Sun-Mimas-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 20 degrees. Image scale is 3,300 feet (1 kilometer) per pixel.
The Cassini mission is a cooperative project of NASA, ESA (the European Space Agency) and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colorado.

At approximately 0749 on September 15, 2020, UP Train MCXNP 14 ran a stop indication and derailed on a crossover switch at State Line Jct. on the KCT High Line while crossing over from 75 to 74 Track. The switches were out of correspondence, being thrown while the stop signal violation took place. At over 20 MPH, both engines and the head 5 cars derailed, listing but upright.
The derailment thankfully stayed on the ballasted deck bridge without falling to the ground below, but presented a unique challenge with where the equipment came to rest, necessitating the use of several contractors to remove the locomotives and railcars.
Wilkerson Crane Rental, Inc., and Cranemasters did most of the lifting, while Mainline Services LLC., under the direction of BNSF engineering forces, as they have the MOW contract on the KCT; replaced the track. Watco/KCTL dropped new ballast with a BNSF rock train to replace what was removed from the bridge deck during cleanup.
A myriad of other contractors also assisted in moving the needed materials and equipment into the site. The line returned to service at 0450 on the 17th without the crossover, which will be restored at a later date. It was nothing short of a fascinating procedure to watch as the equipment was recovered.
Cranemasters works with a railbound crane on rerailing the 4th and 5th cars as NS Train 112 makes its way west through Santa Fe Jct. from the KCT North-South Corridor on the BNSF Emporia Sub. for the short trip to Argentine Yard.
