Triplet lenses perform much better when stopped down, but their technical failings wide open have a certain appeal of their own. With the aperture almost open and without pushing the HP5, a kind of impressionistic look (old look, retro look, vintage look) is created: overall low contrast as well as only moderate sharpness in the center of the image and blurred corners. For comparison, see the previously posted picture of the same scene, taken under quite similar light conditions but with the lens stopped down.
A former Wisconsin Central GP40 was switching the glass recycling building in Burlington a decade ago. Really. Over ten years ago.
That just isn't right. I miss that railroad.
A sound regularly heard in the garden is the distinctive "chiff chaff"

Many thanks as always to those kind enough to comment and fave my photos or even to drop by for a quick peek. It is very much appreciated.

Following the cut through the sand hills made by the Middle Loup River, westbound empties wait for permission on to Alliance. The train is stopped at Seneca, NE and the Stable Productions Exotic Animal Ranch is in the background. Home to zebras, water buffalo, elk, reindeer and other exotics, the only thing from out-of-town I caught in the frame was a Kansas City Southern SD70ACe.

Here I exposed the HP5 at ISO 1600 (push +2) in order to allow further stopping down for more sharpness.
This yard job ( I72 ) got RIGHT to work in La Crosse. We saw them roll east past the depot as lite power at 9:29, and just 14 minutes later, I photographed them pulling out of the west end of the yard with this local. They'd make their way across the river as soon as another local, powered by the CP 6246 would come in from the Wisconsin side.
Here, they're seen crossing Liberty St. with an apparently-shuttered MTU bus stop on the left. MTU's system map can be seen here ( chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.cityoflacrosse.org/Home/ShowDocument?id=834 ), and Liberty St. is somewhere between the 5 & 6 routes.

BNSF's Sealy 191 Job takes a Cut of Boxcars from Cat Spring back to the Yard in Sealy. Pulling the Local today is BNSF 1935, Built in January 1979, and BNSF 1681, built in May 1973.
Among the exotic and unusual residents of the Brevard Zoo you will find some local visitors hanging out, too! Though this little bird wasn't very unusual or colorful, I still loved the way she posed for me!
We headed out to our local airport today for other reasons but managed to time it to see the Flying Doctor Service arrive. They were on the job here ready to collect a local resident for transport to Adelaide, so I tried to not get anyone in the shot. They are very much relied on here in Mount Gambier. In 2021 alone, there were 586 flights from our local facility. They are up there with the fire-fighting pilots as local heroes! I donate wherever possible.

Pan Am Railways local BO1 is seen switching out Rousselot in this shot looking east on the South Reading Industrial Track at Allens Lane crossing. MEC 505 is an unrebuilt sister to the MBTA unit in the previous post having been built by GMDD in Jul. 1974 as CN 9470.
This customer is the only reason there is still freight service on the Eastern Route main and on this last branchline in the northern suburbs of Boston.
Rousselot is the worldwide leader in gelatin production and has a dozen other plants around the world. This particular facility was owned by Eastman Kodak until 2012, although manufacturing has taken place on this site since 1812 when a glue factory opened here.
Kodak used the plant primarily for making a very pure gelatin used in photographic film, but the market for that has dwindled with the emergence of digital cameras. As recently as 2007, 95 percent of the gelatin it produced went toward film, but by 2011 that had been reduced to a 50-50 split between gelatin for film and for other products. During the last 10 years, the facility's production has also decreased dramatically, going from about 19 million pounds of gel in 1999 to 2.75 million pounds at the time the plant was sold.
However the shift from film pharmaceutical products has led to increased production in recent years and more inbound raw materials (bone chips and acid) arriving by rail.

This is the first time we have had a pair of 6 axle units assigned to Brantford for the local.

Just as I arrived this female stepped out from behind this bush....having a camera in the seat beside you is everything!!
Taken in late afternoon light. Sheep look a bit dirty but I guess it is due to all the rain and mud.
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.
A CP local job with GP38AC 3002 and GP20C-ECO 2267 is cooling its heels at CP's Twin Cities / Shoreham Yard terminal. Minneapolis MN 9/27/2023
Resting for the weekend, the pair of SD40-2's that work BNSF's Sealy Local are tied down in the small yard at Sealy, about 50 miles west of Houston. The Sealy Local is a M-F job that runs from Sealy down to Booth and returns, switching various customers along the way.
BNSF 1914 was built as BN 6333 in February 1972. Despite receiving a BNSF patch in 2000, and a BNSF number about 10 years later, this locomotive's original BN number can still be seen in faded paint on the long hood.

Older women play a vital role in keeping Hanoi clean. Tough work, on their feet all day, in all types of weather. I found this woman working at first light, before the rush hour crowds. She deserves a crown.
Industry local out of Eola for BNSF shoves a couple of cars back into an industry. This B40-8W is a far cry from the hotshots it was on for the Santa Fe. The 552 is a survivor of the cutting torch and paint booth, so far.
Very smart looking Golden Plover in a field close to home. Recent reports have sighted two small flocks in my area which might be same ones.
3 huge pools of processed fracking fluid a few miles from my dad's house. the run off from this also gave a friend of mine a rash.
this is located just behind a hill so the houses at the bottom of the image do not have a view of the pools (but the rest of the site is very visible).
