Recently popped to the Mach Loop to photograph military aircraft that fly through. Took this while it was quiet.
UP 4686 leads a long southbound intermodal train around Tehachapi Loop. At the time Walong siding still existed at the loop. Today this view would include a second main track (Main 2) where the access road is located to the right of the train. This effectively eliminated Walong siding and replaced it with two main tracks through this area.

The MBTA's office car special is shoving through Loop Interlocking on Main 1 of the Dorchester Branch at MP 227.4 after running up from Readville Yard then turning on the loop track at Widett Circle. They are taking newly theater car number 535 (former 1515) named 'Mayflower'. The train also includes the other two office cars number 529 'Constitution' and number 525 'Minuteman' along with 534 (former 1503), one of two specially wrapped revenue geometry cars (only along to meet timetable minimum axle requirements). All four cars are rebuilt 500-series MBBs, among the few survivors of a fleet of 67 cars (33 blind and 34 cab control) built new in Germany in 1987-88. Leading the train are heritage units 1129 and 1030, the former a GP40MC dressed in the 'cranberry' scheme and the latter an F40PH-3C dressed in Boston and Maine Minuteman livery.
The train operated from South Station down the Dorchester Branch to Readville, then via the Franklin Line to Walpole, the down the Framingham Secondary to Mansfield, then Amtrak's Northeast Corridor to Davisville to the Seaview Transportation Company where it was turned on their wye before returning straight back via the direct NEC route. On board were MBTA and Keolis officials inspecting recent track and signal projects and looking at the new platform at Foxboro station recently installed to support the flood of passengers for next years World Cup matches to be held at Gillette Stadium.

Good day at the Mach Loop. Not much in the way of aircraft but the weather was glorious! These were taken on Cad East but next time I'll be on Cad West even tho the light is more challenging.
Just south of Park City, UT is the Alpine Loop, Miles of trees and especially Aspen groves. A must see when in the Park City area.
"The line_up is a paperwork series I developed since 2010. The“liners” are made out of paper (Din A3),
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."

Think this is an F15 C Eagle from USAF Grim Reaper Sqdn at Lakenheath going through the Mach Loop. We were looking down from 1,350 feet if my app was correct, onto the top of some planes as their roared thro'.
The valleys from Dolgellau down to Machynlleth make up a loop of 40 miles distance where the low level high speed jet training takes place.
{The name "Mach Loop" is not derived from the air speed but from the local abbreviation of the town Machynlleth at the base of the loop incidentally.}
"US airmen have spent more than two weeks painting modern F-15 jets to look like their World War Two counterparts.
The 48th Fighter Wing, based at RAF Lakenheath, has unveiled the first of three "heritage" aircraft to mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day in June.
American crews at the base in Suffolk painted the fighter jet to look like a P-47 Thunderbolt, with chequered nose, stripes and several national insignias.
Col Will Marshall said it paid tribute to "the 48th Fighter Wing legacy".
The commemorative work - which also saw a Statue of Liberty painted on the F-15's tail - took just over 640 hours and used £11,500-worth of paint." Quote from BBC website
A nice lil single spun up from a sample of "Ribbon Dance". I think this will make a fantastic headband!

Recently at Elk Island..
Norfolk Southern Asheville based local P87 drops down the famed 'Old Fort Loops' on their daily run from Asheville to Bridgewater and back. With the closing of the Asheville to Linwood portion of the S-Line as a mainline route locals P87 during the day and P60 at night are the only two trains that traverse this famed stretch of track. Here the train navigates through one of the many rock cuts in the loops, as it prepares to duck into one of the many tunnels in the loops.
