BNSF 9970 makes some noise at Greenland, CO as it hauls a loaded coal train up the Palmer Divide on a gorgeous February Afternoon.
Man i miss shooting these MACs.
Poem about Mac the Cat (inspired by me, written by ChatGPT)
Mac the cat, so ginger and old,
Sits atop the fence, quiet and bold.
In Munich town, his home and place,
He watches the world with gentle grace.
Though he cannot meow anymore,
His spirit shines, like never before.
For Mac is calm and friendly too,
And always happy to see me and you.
With each pat and stroke of his fur,
We feel his warmth, so soft and pure.
And though he cannot speak a word,
His eyes and purrs make us assured.
Assured that in this world so fast,
There's still some peace that's meant to last.
And Mac the cat, with his friendly ways,
Shows us the joy in simpler days.
So here's to Mac, the old ginger cat,
May his days be long and full of that
Warmth and love he brings each day,
To brighten up our human way.
I feel almost compelled to take about 100 pictures of "Big Mac", the Mackinac Bridge, every time I go "Up North". The 5 mile long bridge is an engineering marvel. The roadbed at midpoint is about 200 feet (61 m) above the water, and the water at that point is 295 feet (90m) deep. When it was completed in 1957, it was the world's longest suspension bridge.
The bridge connects the Upper and Lower Peninsulas of Michigan. Previous to it's construction, ferry boats were used to cross the Straits of Mackinac.
Note: Mackinac Bridge and Mackinaw City, although spelled differently are both pronounced "Mack-in-aw".

I know, I know
I know, I know
I know, I know
The back of your hand (back of your hand)
My bottom lip (bottom lip)
Down my throat (dig in)
This is it (take hold)
Grab a hold (never let go)
When you need me most (get what I want)
The deeper you go
The dark, the dark, the darker it gets
Togetherness
Togetherness
Ta-tattered and frayed,
knotted and twisted Pressing and looking for a way
That's the rub, denim on denim
This is no pragmatic love
The back of your hand (back of your hand)
My bottom lip (bottom lip)
Down my throat (dig in)
This is it (take hold)
Grab a hold
When you need me most
The deeper you go
The dark, the dark, the darker it gets
Togetherness
Take hold, never let go
I get what I want, I get, I get what I want
Take hold, never let go
I get what I want, I get, I get what I want
An open mouth, wet teeth that rub and bite
Always razor sharp
Engineered for cruelty and charm
Engineered for cruelty and charm Togetherness
Take hold, never let go
I get what I want (the deeper you go)
I get, I get what I want (the darker it gets, deep)
Take hold, never let go
I get what I want (the deeper you go)
I get, I get what I want (the darker it gets)
Two macs lead manifest from the Barge in Whittier with some great snow caps standing high above their pair. This was a great afternoon for trains on the arm.
Southbound LG1 slows to a stop at Caneyville to meet its counterpart loaded train on a sunny winter day.
Green Day - Waiting
www.youtube.com/watch?v=xc1Uld0k4W4
I've been waiting a long time
For this moment to come, I'm
Destined for anything at all
Downtown, lights will be shining
On me, like in a diamond
Ring out under the midnight hour
Well, no one can touch me now, well
And I can't turn my back, it's
Too late, ready or not at all
Well, I'm so much closer than
I have ever known
Wake up!
Dawning of a new era calling
Don't let it catch you falling
Ready or not at all
Oh, so close enough to taste it
Almost, I can embrace this
Feeling on the tip of my tongue
Well, I'm so much closer than
I have ever known
Wake up!
Better thank your lucky stars
Say, hey, hey
Well, I'm so much closer than
I have ever known
Wake up!
You better thank your lucky stars
Say, hey, hey!
I've been waiting a lifetime
For this moment to come, I'm
Destined for anything at all
Dumbstruck, color me stupid
Good luck, you're gonna need it
Where I'm going, if I get there at all
Wake up!
And better thank your lucky stars

Happy Caturday, Everyone!

Did you know that macaws have a highly flexible tongue supported by a bone, allowing them to use it almost like a hand?

A freshly overhauled SD70MAC leads another older MAC on I13518, the double track train from Portsmouth. They're seen here at the S-curve near the Crystal City VRE station.

A trio of BNSF SD70MAC's meet at the north end of the siding at Loveland, Colorado, on May 31, 2019. This is along BNSF's Front Range Subdivision between Denver and Cheyenne.

In what was a very odd move, a pair of BNSF SD70MACs, still in BN "Executive" colors, lead loaded CSX coal train N910 down into the Thornapple River valley. This train of Powder River coal, which was destined for Consumer's JH Campbell plant in West Olive, would normally run up the Grand Rapids sub to Holland and continue north to West Olive. The details are fuzzy to me now, but I believe the train was re-routed "the long way" via Toledo and Plymouth because of a derailment on the NS near Porter, IN where the GR sub connects to the NS Chicago district. I want to say this was the only time I ever saw this happen. Also, I absolutely loved those cream and green MACs with the classic BNSF logo on the nose!
