Geese do a fly by.
Sorry haven't been on much. We have been having internet issues on the West Coast of the U.S. Seems to be working (for) now!
Some more shots from our birding at the Celery Fields on Friday. Three Blue-winged Teal ducks were floating by close to the trail.
The Egyptian goose (Alopochen aegyptiaca) is a member of the duck, goose, and swan family Anatidae. It is native to Africa south of the Sahara and the Nile Valley.

The Proud Leader
In the calm of an early morning, on water barely moving, one swan stepped forward — quietly, confidently, speaking only with his gaze.
He took the lead, steady and composed, guiding his small white procession as they followed the rhythm of the river.
For a moment, it felt like a gentle ceremony of nature, a ritual revealed only to those who wait long enough for the world to exhale.
Ponosni predvodnik
U tihom jutru, na vodi koja jedva diše, pojavio se jedan labud koji je odmah uzeo riječ — bez glasa, bez žurbe, samo pogledom.
Stao je prvi, hrabro i mirno, kao da vodi mali bijeli orkestar koji mu vjerno slijedi svaki val.
Na trenutak je cijeli prizor izgledao kao mala ceremonija prirode, ritual koji se događa samo kad čovjek dovoljno dugo stoji i čeka da se svijet otvori.
A 3 x 1 CP eastbound heads over the Mississippi River after meeting one westbound just around the corner at Humboldt. Fortunately, I can remember this spot this time of year as it really works well, regardless of the humdrum consist. The proper SD70ACU leader was the rear DPU.

It doesn't happen very often anymore, but just a few years ago you could usually count on 485 to give you a good lashup, with the right leader. No disappointment here with ICE 6216 leading the way past the Milwaukee Road era searchlights.
This was one of those cold February days, but the sun offered up some relief as this mixed fright blasts through Duplainville.

Not the shot or location I wanted, but it works. Q217-06 with CSX ST70AH 8900 rolls down the CSX Philadelphia sub in the early afternoon sun. Here they are going from the main to track one as the close in on Bayview yard in Baltimore, MD.
CSX 8900 is the class leader of the 10 EMD ST70AH locomotives that CSX purchased.

That relocated headlight lets you know the leader on Norfolk Southern's train 290 wasn't always a thoroughbred. NS 3553 was built in 1979 for the Burlington Northern; BNSF sold it as surplus at the turn of the Century. Helm Financial had it in leasing service until 2013 when Norfolk Southern bought it and others to add to their fleet.
Providence & Worcester NH-1 and NR-2 pull west on Track 3 in Old Saybrook while swapping cars. Unfortunately things have changed since 2011, P&W no longer makes regular runs on the Northeast Corridor in daylight.

RISI rolls over the Allegheny River near Salamanca,NY. Soon they will stop at the Depot to be recrewed and head northward to Buffalo,NY.
SSR’s P17 leads a single BGKF grain wagon and retired Comeng cars 301M-1001T-302M 303M-1002T-304M with T381 trailing to Bendigo at Clarkefield. The grain wagon was going for repairs, the Comeng sets are to be scrapped. The units were heavily vandalised whilst in storage at North Shore yard since August, with large amounts of graffiti and numerous smashed windows. One of the cars was even set on fire, which prompted security to be hired 24/7 to watch over the trains. 301M is the class leader of the Comeng sets. Built from 1981, 187 three car Comeng sets were built by Commonwealth Engineering. They are now progressively being retired, with the oldest ones going first and the last will be retired around 2026.

With the Main Channel acting as more or less a runway, NYK Line's Aphrodite Leader has center frame on it's way through San Pedro's Waterfront. The ship has just been turned and burned on a quick tour of the West Coast of the United States. Arriving from Richmond, California earlier in the morning the ship is now sailing back to Japan to start rounding up another shipload of imports.
Off to the right filling in some of the frame is the Ever Future unloading at Everport "TICTF South". As well as part of a Cruise Ship at World Cruise and a very thin profile of the USS Iowa at it's home at Berth 87.
Not sure what's going on here but -
Follow the leader; It’s a classic game that is played all around the world.

Nothing gives me more joy than seeing CSX pumpkin units being used in ways they weren't intended to be. George Cheatwood shot this R409 at Akron on August 30th 1999 with the correct leader. JL Sessa collection.

Any of these units would have made for a good leader but WC soon chopped and repainted the ex ACR GP7 fleet so I'm grateful for any shots I have of them still in there original appearance. Train AORELD works south around one of the many curves on the former ACR near Heyden with 1505, 5972 and 6560 leading the ore loads on July 30, 1995.

Another trip out with the big camera and the small drone! Looking towards Bridlington from Fraisthorpe.
One of many trains to cross the bridge on Aug 31, 2015. It seems almost all trains stop at some point on this bridge and the NOPB. So it makes chasing them easy.

Dakota Minnesota and Eastern GP38 3800 was leading a gaggle of lesser CP GE motors on 281 at B12 Interlocking on Good Friday. I would guess that the crew would have rather have had one of those GEs as leader, but it must have been an Easter miracle for the rail photographer.
The 3800 was built in 1969 for the Pennsylvania Reading Seashore Lines and went on to Conrail in 1976. It then went west to California after Conrail was done with it and it did time on the Eureka Western before coming to the midwest as DM&E 3800.
