Earlier today, I got word that this BNSF business train was heading north on the Ft. Scott Sub, heading towards Topeka. Fortunately (for me), DS104 ran an LRT coal load down the line in front of it, which slowed its progress tremendously, allowing for the clouds to part, and to get some great, late afternoon light on it.
Here, the BNSF 3696, a very clean ET44C4 is in Topeka, KS at the 2nd St. Interlocker with the O-BIRTOP.
Video of the train can be seen here: youtu.be/OKx43-L6aXg
After receiving a clear signal to proceed over CPKC’s Lacombe Subdivision, Canadian National EMD SD75IACC 8327 (originally SD75I 5697) eases train X188 through the interlocking at Alix, Alberta, on its southbound journey along the Three Hills Subdivision, en route to the line’s terminus at Calgary Logistics Park.

A westbound BNSF doublestack train takes headroom over the UP diamond at San Pedro Junction, formerly known as Hobart Tower. The interlocking tower at Hobart still stood at this location until being torn down a couple of years after this was taken.

Union Pacific manifest train MSSNP (South St. Paul, Minn., to North Platte, Neb.) is kicking up fresh powder as it slams the diamond with CP's Jackson Subdivision at Albert Lea, Minn., as the last hour of February sun for the day lights up the scene. CP local B48, today appearing as a light power move with an SD60M and an SD40-2, patiently waits its turn behind the dilapidated but still-standing interlocking tower.
This junction would historically have been between the Rock Island (now UP) and the Milwaukee Road (now CP). Swap glass for the boarded-up windows and change out the motive power and paint schemes and it would have looked very much the same a half-century ago.
Valadier Temple inside the Genga Cave – Marche, Italy
Set into the rock, suspended between light and silence, the Tempietto del Valadier reveals itself like a thought carved into the mountain.
Designed in the 19th century by architect Giuseppe Valadier, this neoclassical temple stands in the village of Genga, in the Marche region, inside a limestone cave that overlooks the Gola della Rossa e di Frasassi Natural Park.
Nearby, still intact, the small medieval church of Santa Maria Infra Saxa suggests that stone here has long guarded centuries of solitude and retreat.
Legend tells of pilgrims once arriving beneath this hidden dome,
seeking forgiveness.
A refuge of stone, built to welcome silence.
Still today, one arrives only on foot, as if slowly approaching the essential.

Tempietto del Valadier nella grotta di Genga – Marche
Incastonato nella roccia, sospeso tra luce e silenzio, il Tempietto del Valadier si rivela come un pensiero scolpito nella montagna.
Progettato nel XIX secolo dall’architetto Giuseppe Valadier, questo tempio neoclassico sorge nel comune di Genga, nelle Marche, all’interno di una grotta calcarea che domina il Parco della Gola della Rossa e di Frasassi.
Accanto, ancora intatta, la minuscola chiesa medievale di Santa Maria Infra Saxa suggerisce che qui la pietra custodisce secoli di raccoglimento.
Si racconta che qui, sotto questa cupola nascosta, giungessero pellegrini in cerca di perdono.
Un rifugio di pietra, nato per accogliere il silenzio.
Ancora oggi si arriva solo a piedi, come in un lento avvicinamento all’essenziale.
As a tower and interlocking nut, I can appreciate a railroad shot without a train in it. Scenes of towers and interlockings are some of my favorites, even without a train. Looking west off the 17th Street Bridge in Altoona, PA, we see ALTO Tower and interlocking. Perhaps the most famous tower on the Pittsburgh Line, ALTO was one of the busiest. By the end of its career, it controlled the entire Altoona terminal area. While ALTO itself looks in decent shape, the state of the interlocking isn't the best, especially given the immense amount of weeds in the plant. ALTO survived decades after this 1971 shot, finally being closed under Norfolk Southern in 2012.

A former Santa Fe B40-8W duo roll above BN Interlocking on Track AC1 on the KCT Argentine Connection Flyover, or the "Skyway", as they lead BNSF train Y-KCK1221-02I, which is en route from BNSF's Argentine Yard to CPKC Knoche Yard with a transfer. Last night's 311 Job never made it out of Argentine, so today's 122 Job will take the transfer across town to Knoche.
Passing them on AC2 is the Willow Springs to North Bay Z, and down below on Main Track 4 are the DPU's for BNSF train G-FRFFRS9-01A. 2/2/25.

Center composed, black and white image in square format… Well that’s the Macro Mondays theme this week then :)
When it works at all, my brain works like this: centre (English translation ;) ) means symmetry; square means circle (I kid you not); black and white means textures and shapes… So the problem is what’s circular, with texture and macro sized… and, I forgot to mention, inside my house (it’s cold outside :) ).
Golly gosh. I’m glad other people don’t think like that! Can you imagine how boring that would be?
Have you guessed what it is? This is the stalk end of a Kiwi fruit, all suitably hairy and organic. If you take a picture like this it looks a bit like a scene from an Alien film (movie ;) ) …
It's a couple of centimetres across I guess so OK for the group - yey!
Thank you for taking time to look. I hope you enjoy the image and that it doesn’t give you strange nightmares :) Happy Macro Mondays!
[Mainly lit in daylight but some help from an LED torch behind a sheet of white paper (it was getting dark at the time). Tripod; remote release; manual focus in LiveView; VR off…
Developed in Lightroom adding colour (to give something for the B&W converter to play with) and aiming for a tonal range; a ton of Clarity for detail; denoise because it’s a long exposure and it’s an ancient camera.
Into Affinity Photo. Sharpened with a mixture of Tone Mapping, Unsharp Mask and High Pass/Linear Blend filter.
Into Nik Silver Efex for the conversion; quite a bit of playing around… Used a green filter and lots of microcontrast.
Back in Affinity added a Curves layer and tweaked the contrast here and there to get a pleasing tonal range.
