20 096 & 107 run into the lengthy loop at Clay Mills Junction with 7X08 15.42 Chaddesden Sidings to Banbury.
Classic action in May 1982 on the famed Tehachapi Loop. with a total of 10 six-axle Southern Pacific EMDs, all wide open as this heavy manifest climbs the 2.2 percent grade. There was nothing like the thunderous EMD turbocharged sound back then. This was how the SP would attack the Tehachapi Mountains: Four SDs up front, led by SD45T-2 #9232. Then, as you see in the picture, four more SDs emerge from Tunnel 9, with #9365 leading this 4-pack, this about 1/3 of the way back. Then, about 2/3 of the way back, 2 more EMDs would enter the scene (see my other pic posted here). Of course, the head of this train is starting to circle over itself. Likely, most of the 10 engines were "Tunnel Motors". Memorable sights and sounds, to be sure!

Today my last full day in the states has begun, and the time really flew by. I saw a lot of interesting things, met many many amazing people and enjoyed every place that I stayed at.
And today is a pretty nice "final". I will be doing a joint streetphotography shoot with Satoki. I am so looking forward to this, lets see whether my results will also make a great final =)

i really enjoy your feedback and comments!
thanks.

The Cygnus Loop (or the Veil Nebula) is the best-observed old supernova remnant. A beautiful filamentary object roughly in the form of a circular arc in Cygnus. Its patchiness is striking: the loop consists of a series of wisps rather than a continuous cloud of gas. The Cygnus Loop appears as a faint ring of glowing gases about three degrees across (six times the diameter of the full moon), located in the northern constellation Cygnus the Swan. The supernova remnant is within the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy and is 2,600 light-years away. As the supernova blast wave slams into tenuous clouds of interstellar gas, the resulting collision heats and compresses the gas, causing it to glow. The shock acts as a searchlight by revealing the structure of the interstellar medium.
The visual portion of the Cygnus Loop is known as the Veil Nebula, also called the Cirrus Nebula or the Filamentary Nebula. Several components have separate names and identifiers, including NGC 6960, the Western Veil, is the western part of the remnant, also known as the "Witch's Broom”. NGC 6992, NGC 6995, and IC 1340, three luminous areas make up the Eastern Veil, also known as the “Bat Nebula”. NGC 6974 and NGC 6979. These two objects are the two brighter knots of nebulosity in a cloud at the northern edge of the loop, and Pickering's Triangle, Also known as Pickering's Wedge, or Pickering's Triangular Wisp.
This my return visit after capturing NGC6992 when I started Astrophotography August 2020. Taken over 2 nights with not particularly good seeing or transparency, I managed to secure 6 hours of Ha and Oiii 5minute subs to process this HOO image. Gain 100 -5C.

The Taylor Creek Loop is a trail west of Cocoa in Central Florida. The trail is located largely in the western portion of the St. Johns River floodplain, of which its namesake, Taylor Creek, is part of. The trail is named after Taylor Creek, but actually features but rare views of the creek. Instead it gives you view of Florida's most iconic tree, the palm tree.
Being part of the Tosohatchee WIldlife Management Area, this trail is not a sterile romp through the woods. In fact, the day I hiked it, very large portions of it were underwater.
This one is a pretty good one I guess... I used the 100mm macro lens for this as it is a faster lens than the kit lens I have. I am limited in space though, so I have to stand in the corner to shoot. I am learning; it's a little overexposed on her forehead, but I have found that the pictures look hot in the preview on the camera but when I put the RAW file into Affinity Photo, I can compensate for it mostly, so in the future, I will experiment with f2.8 perhaps or something. I had one light plus a bounce light for this one. I developed in Affinity Photo.
The semaphore signals still stand on the disused and very overgrown Garw loop at Tondu Middle Junction, we are on the former Garw Valley line that once was very busy as it served 4 major collieries, know as the Garw loop now it was used as a run round facility for when freight trains were infrequently diverted via Tondu, away from the South Wales mainline.
The last time i was here was on the 10th March 2018 on the 1Z19 07.06 London Paddington-Onllwyn Washery via Tondu, 'The Valley of the Witch’ railtour, which came as far as it could along here until the vegetation stopped us!

Si alguien pensaba que no era posible…, los suizos lo hicieron!, un loop, para librar un gran desnivel, en un espacio muy corto. Este es el paraíso de los trenes, aquí encontraras de todo, trenes con encanto, sobre un trayecto que cruza los Alpes de norte a sur, imagínate el entorno!, viaductos y túneles impresionantes, lagos, trenes que conviven con los coches por el centro de la ciudad, y hasta un loop!. En verano de 2015, tuve la suerte de estar allí, hice el recorrido del Bernina Express, desde Chur en Suiza, hasta Tirano en Italia, y todas sus líneas transversales, Arosa, Disentis Muster, Davos, St. Moritz, Scuol Taraps, prácticamente todo. Si estáis buscando un sitio para ir el verano que viene, ya sabéis!.
