Black Star "K.O.S. (Determination)"
A visit to the Library of Congress and all its wonders. You can take the kid out of the library but you cannot take the knowledge learned out of the kid.
We're living through the last years of interesting topics regarding classic traction in freight traffic on Hungarian rails. Most recently, the Békéscsaba hub of Rail Cargo Hungaria (RCH) got a BR285, which has already started working on the nearby servicing trains starting the 22nd of July.
Yet – very rarely – you can bump into crazy things, mostly thanks to the general bad shape of vehicle maintenance and planning at MÁV-Start. On a slow May afternoon a friend of a friend, working as a dispatcher was scrolling through the planned trains for Line 50 in the system when he noticed that the freight service from Baja-Dunapart was not showing a Class M62, nor the grey diesel TRAXX in the traction box, but a Class M44 shunter.
Could be a typo... But what if... Well, after phoning around half the loc inspectors and RCH dispatchers of Transdanubia, the info was pieced together, that if one of the Sergeis won't be passed back up by early morning to Dombóvár from Pécs, then yes, the little shunter will have to do instead. Not as it stood in the system; sending the M44 out as far as Baja, to return with an – even if empty –, longer train on the hilly Line 50 would be risky.
So RCH tasked its shiny and boring diesel with that job, and sent the Bobó to take care of the other task of the day; bringing nine empty wagons to Komló next to the three already there, and returning with as many as they could load by afternoon. Armed with this knowledge, we set alarms for around three o'clock and checked to see on the mapper if any of the M62s moved.
By 5:30 we were already through the shittiest gas station coffee I've had in a while, and soon enough we were each waiting eagerly near Mecsekjánosi after choosing our locations for the first pics. The rest is history! More pictures from this day here and here.

The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom (Isaac Asimov)
If you've a head for hedge mazes, you will be rewarded at the end by entrance to a vast and breath-taking library. Who knows what knowledge might lay between those pages!
Sorrow is knowledge, those that know the most must mourn the deepest, the tree of knowledge is not the tree of life.
Another Twirl photo. The starting point this time was a photo of books on shelves.
Stay safe and well everyone.
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated
For “Knowledge is Golden” the inspiration was specific to the area which the mural was done. San Francisco is seeing its second gold rush with information and knowledge being the currency of today. SOMA, being slated to be developed as the new downtown of San Francisco with technology leading the transformation, is why we chose this location for our message.
Gold miners have been replaced by tech innovators. Pickaxes and shovels have been replaced with laptops and desktops. Though the times have changed, the human thirst for chasing opportunity remains prevalent in these times. And with this influx of new people, San Francisco culture as we know it will never be the same.
This Saturday 10 volunteers organized a workshop to learn programming with the Scratch visual programming software and robotics with the Lego Wedo and Mindstorms kits to kids.
There have been a lot of other sessions for 3 years since we've started to promote this type of workshop.
Thanks to all these people and the organizations that provides knowledge, computers, resources kits and snacks (ADN Ouest, La ruche numérique, La cantine numérique, Devoxx4Kids, Coder Dojo, Coding Gouter, ...., as well as a large number of companies that are sponsors for these events)

Amarelo eh a cor da sabedoria. Aprenda sempre.
Mesmo que voce seje o instrutor. Abracose bom fim de semana..
Yellow is known to be the color of knowledge. I hope you are learning
every day. Even if you're your own instructor.
Make it a perfect week..
How about one from the archives over a dozen years old and a sight probably never to be seen again. This was the one and only time I shot a real freight train on this bridge (not counting no revenue work trains) and it was a sight to be hold on a cloudy but colorful fall day. This is the caption I wrote long ago in those hopeful days when this was shared on RP.net when I posted there.
Three SD70MACs lead train 181S with 70 loaded 100 ton hopper cars at the posted speed of 10 MPH but as soon as they cross the bridge they'll be throttling up to dig into the 1.3% grade up to Hurricane Section. Export coal is a growing business for the ARR with each of the past five years seeing record volumes from 600 thousand metric tons moved in 2007 to 1.2 million by the end of 2011 and 1.3 million planned for 2012. Next year the ARR will have two dedicated coal train sets in service each making the 700+ mile round trip two times per week.
Located at MP 284.2, this bridge spans 918 ft and rises 296 ft above the floor below. It is the signature location the on the entire ARR mainline and was the most expensive and difficult engineering project on the entirety of the line. The American Bridge Company started construction in early 1921, erected steel in June and finished in August. To construct the bridge, they strung an aerial tram across the gulch and construction proceeded from both sides. The first passenger train crossed Hurricane Gulch Bridge on August 15, 1921 culminating the $1,200,000 project. For some stunning historic photos of its construction click: vilda.alaska.edu/digital/search/searchterm/Hurricane%20Gu...(Alaska)/field/all/mode/exact/conn/and/cosuppress/
if interested.
While easily the most spectacular point on the mainline between Anchorage and Fairbanks it is rarely photographed except from the train itself. This is because it is virtually inaccessible. I've lived in Alaska more than four years and have longed to figure out how to make this happen. Back in July I went through quite the ordeal and finally figured it out, so armed with this information I just had to go back when the fall colors were out.
On Saturday's during passenger season it is possible to shoot four passenger trains in the span of four hours. While on this day I missed the first train, I did shoot three others (the southbound Denali Star, the northbound DEX and the Hurricane Turn) and then was rewarded with this late running coal train after that fleet had passed.
Making the journey to Hurricane is not for the faint of heart though, since it is a nearly 200 mile and 3+ hr drive from Anchorage, then requires a mile long hike without a trail through the willows and alders in bear country. Armed with my past knowledge, my camera, rain gear, some snacks, a radio, waterproof boots, a machete and a shotgun (yes in case you ask I did shoot down a couple more trees!) everything worked out successfully. Railfanning in the Last Fronteir, like every other outdoor pursuirt is truly an adventure!

Recently I went to the Profoto Roadshow, where I was allowed to take this photo. A number of prominent photographers gave workshops and of course we were allowed to get to work ourselves. With an experience richer, a head full of inspiration and more knowledge I went home after this beautiful day.
