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!

The Citrus Loop, located in the Citrus County Tract of the Withlacoochee state forest is one of the most widely used portions of the Florida National Scenic Trail. It traverses a varied landscape and passes through a myriad of habitat over 43 miles of trails. The loop is one of the rare places containing dry caves in Florida. A highlight of the loop is considered to be Lizzie Hart Sink, where the sandy scrub habitat gives way to rocky, tropical foliage. These pictures were taken in a dry moment on a rainy day while hiking with the Florida Trail Association at their 50th Anniversary Celebration.

An a grey and wet morning GWR 2800 Class 2-8-0 heavy frieght locomotive 2807 heads through the temporary loop at Laverton on the Gloucestershire and Warwickshire Railway during a 30742 Charters photographic day. This will be removed as the railway extends towards Broadway, but for now it gives the impression of a double track main line.
The low sun cast shadows on 395 025 & 029 as they speed through Lenham Freight Loops on the 1142 St Pancras to Margate service.
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.
This spectacular stretch of 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge railroad was originally completed in 1884, considered an engineering marvel for its time. The thriving mining towns of Georgetown and Silver Plume lie 2 miles (3.2 km) apart in the steep, narrow canyon of Clear Creek in the Rocky Mountains west of Denver. Engineers designed a corkscrew route that traveled nearly twice that distance to connect them, slowly gaining about 640 feet in elevation.
In 1973, the Colorado Historical Society began restoring the railroad using track and ties donated by the Union Pacific. This tourist train now operates between Silver Plume and the new Devil's Gate Station, which is 3/4 mile west of Georgetown.

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!.

A BNSF westbound train powered up front by Dash-9 No. 766 blasts out of Tunnel 9 at Walong, California, on March 28, 2001, as the train’s DPUs pass overhead. The action takes place on the famous Tehachapi Loop.
An old apple tree which appears ripe, but all the lower apples were probably picked by hikers as the higher parts of the tree were still bountiful.
