Il mare spesso parla con parole lontane, dice cose che nessuno sa. Soltanto quelli che conoscono l'amore possono apprendere la lezione dalle onde, che hanno il movimento del cuore...
(Romano Battaglia)
I'm overdue for another morning out here, it's always worthwhile. Until then, however, here's one that's been laying around for a while from a trip last year.
Connecticut Southern Railroad's Hartford to Springfield turn job CSO-4 is led by a pair of B39-8Es in the form of orange repainted CSOR 3901 and CSOR 8530 still in its as delivered LMX gray paint and number dating from it Nov. 1987 build date by GE.
They are on Amtrak's Springfield Line main near MP 50 crossing the Connecticut River on the Warehouse Point Bridge crossing from the town of Windsor Locks into Enfield. The 1470 ft long double track bridge (though only one track is in service) dates from 1903 when the circa 1866 iron bridge was rebuilt by the New Haven Railroad, but even that structure was the second one on the site replacing a wooden Howe truss that first crossed here in 1843 by NH predecessor Hartford and Springfield Railroad.

The “line_up“ is a paperwork series I developed since 2010. The “liners” are made out of paper (Din A3/A4),
oil paint and graphite. The theme is the hermetical laws of polarity and movement. There is no ending and no beginning in any direction, just an endless movement. You have the possibility to arrange the papers like you want and that makes it an endless playground for my photo-work and the eyes of the viewers.

A clothes line was a news forecast,
to neighbours passing by.
There were no secrets you could keep,
when clothes were hung to dry.
It also was a friendly link,
for neighbours always knew,
If company had stopped on by,
to spend a night or two.
For then you'd see the fancy sheets
and towels upon the line;
You'd see the company tablecloths,
with intricate design.
The line announced a baby's birth,
to folks who lived inside,
As brand new infant clothes,
were hung so carefully with pride.
The ages of the children,
could so readily be known
By watching how the sizes changed,
you'd know how much they'd grown.
It also told when illness struck,
as extra sheets were hung;
Then night-clothes, and a bathrobe too,
haphazardly were strung.
It said "Gone on vacation now",
when lines hung limp and bare.
It told "We're back!" when full lines sagged,
with not an inch to spare.
New folks in town were scorned upon,
if washing was dingy grey,
As neighbours raised their brows,
and looked disgustedly away.
But clotheslines now are of the past,
for dryers make work less,
Now what goes on inside a home,
is anybodies guess.
I really miss that way of life;
it was a friendly sign,
When neighbours knew each other best,
by what was on the line.

Happy Fence Friday and enjoy your weekend Flickr friends!
GM&O #75, the "Jack Line Local," passes through Tallula, Illinois, on its way to Jacksonville and Roodhouse. February 1972.
Wie ich schon vor Wochen erwähnt habe, waren drei meiner Katzen an einem Schnupfen erkrankt.
Lizzi und Lotte haben sich schnell davon erholt, nur die kleine Line hat es schwerer erwischt. Sie hat eine schwere Augenerkrankung davon getragen und bekommt immer noch Tabletten. Zum Glück ist das schlimmste nicht eingetroffen, wie der Tierarzt befürchtet hat. Sie ist nicht erblindet, aber die Augen werden wohl so trüb bleiben.
Das schöne ist, sie hat ihre alte Lebenslust wieder gewonnen.
