Dreimal in der Woche wird die Elbmarschbahn Winsen Süd-Niedermarschacht befahren, um die Chemische Fabrik Bruno Bock am Streckenende in Niedermarschacht mit chemischen Produkten zu versorgen.
Am Morgen des 18.02.2019 bespannte die Maschener Berglok 296 047 diesen Einzelwagenzug ER 53465 Maschen Rbf-Niedermarschacht. Am Empfangsgebäude des ehemaligen Bahnhofs Mover konnte diese Fahrt vom Deich des Ilmenau-Kanals fotografiert werden; Rund 70 Minuten Verspätung sorgten an dieser Stelle für das nötige Seitenlicht.

The People Mover aka Tommorowland Transit Authority.
Not an easy shot to master. The track will move fast and slow at different times in the ride and about every 10 ft or so it seems to jump in the tracks.

It's a glorious spring morning at Davis Junction, as the IC&E 6416 west, shakes up the dust a little bit and putting on a fine show.

Following this little Black and White Warbler around with my camera was quite a challenge. He (I think) was behaving more like a Nuthatch - going off in all directions up and down the trees, around the branches, upside down, and right side up. Fast mover is an understatement. As usual when I try for bird photos, I get lots of empty branches - but not this one.
Time is running out for the last light of the day, as well as the trio of 35 year old General Electric Dash 8's pulling a northbound train of empty ore jennies back to MinnTac through Nomi Junction, MN.
After holding for a northbound train of grain empties to clear onto the Missabe Sub, the engineer of this ore train was in no mood to wait a moment longer than necessary to get his train back to the mine for reloading, and end his working day. The 7FDL-16 prime movers happily obliged the hogger's swipe of the throttle with the smoke and sound that have endeared many a fan to these locomotives, and eventually a surge of speed that did not abate until the train had cleared the junction.
In the two weeks since I shot this image, the population of active Dash 8's in the twin ports region has dwindled to 6, with those remaining working on borrowed time until two more pairs of AC44C6M rebuilds have their 'straight air' modifications completed in the diesel shops at Proctor. If anyone has been on the fence about visiting the iron range this fall, I suggest doing it now, before the sun sets on these locomotives once and for all.
During my visit this year (Oct 2019), earth movers were busily working on new water impoundments along the Kern River Flood Canal just west of the Tule Elk State Natural Reserve near Tupman, California. The Kern River is usual dry with most of the water taken out of it updstream except in wet years that have high amounts of spring run off. The impounds at the end of the river along the flood canal allow for water storage during these wet years and, according to a geologist I talked to, needed groundwater recharge. The sizes of the equipment working on the project were impressive.

We spent some time downtown to work with lights and motion. As we waited for the people mover to pass this couple came up to ask what was going on. So I enlisted them as models under the light to add a human element and a bit of mystery to the shot. We all had a good laugh over it.

"Cantar, é mover o dom
do fundo de uma paixão
Seduzir, as pedras, catedrais, coração
Amar, é perder o tom
nas comas da ilusão
Revelar, todo o sentido
Vou andar, vou voar, pra ver o mundo
Nem que eu bebesse o mar
Encheria o que eu tenho de fundo"

Tentei mais uma vez, mas não resisti e coloquei uma florzinha, tenho a impressão de que nunca mais nesta vida vou conseguir deixar as unhas sem desenhos. O que fazer???
Mas adorei...rs.
Here's another from this fun day out chasing the 470 Railroad Club special from Conway to Fabyans and back with 9 cars behind Boston and Maine F7s 4266 and 4268.
This spot was one of the most famous photo locations along the old Maine Central's Mountain Sub mainline because you could capture the entirety of a 100 car freight strung out as they climb Intervale Hill on a more than two mile long tangent. This is also a spot where you can include Mount Washington with the train and on those rare clear days unlike this one.
From just east of the Hill North Vale Lane crossing here at about MP 61.7 the top of the mountain is 16 miles away. Located in the Presidential Range Mount Washington is the highest peak in the Northeastern United States at 6,288.2 ft and the most topographically prominent mountain east of the Mississippi River. The summit is probably most famous for having the highest wind speed ever recorded on earth (not associated with a tornado or tropical cyclone) of 231 mph recorded on April 12, 1934 by the observatory located there!
As for the Fs, both units are owned by the 470 Railroad Club and are original Boston and Maine locomotives wearing their as delivered EMD designed scheme. 4266 was built in Mar. 1949 and was acquired for preservation in 1981 off the Billerica deadline. Restored a couple years later, she has called North Conway home ever since and has been operational off and on for the past four decades.
4268 was built in Oct. 1949 and ran for the very first time in almost a half century just earlier this year. I'm not sure when her last run was, but I can find no photos of her in service after about July 1974. She languished for a decade behind the Billerica shops after being stripped of all major components including prime mover, main generator and traction motors. In 1986 she finally left Billerica by truck after being acquired by George Feuderer who displayed her in a field in East Swanzey, NH until acquired by the 470 Club and trucked to North Conway in October of 1991.
She received a cosmetic restoration in 1993 and had been prominently displayed at the Conway Scenic in the company of her operational sibling ever since. After years of planning, the club began restoration in earnest in 2018 with the full support of the railroad and its shop using ex New Hampshire Northcoast GP9 1751 (ex PRR) as a major parts donor for the four year long restoration project.
Addendum: thanks to Carl Byron for supplying the fascinating historical information below that I'd never read about before.
The 4268A was actually built in March, 1949 as Engineering Test Dept Locomotive #930. Used for high altitude component testing on the DRGW's Soldier Summit among other locations. It spent some of that summer masquerading as a CB&Q locomotive leading their passenger car display at the 1949 Chicago World's Fair. It was then was cleaned up, re-engined, and made into to a standard F7A and offered for sale at a slightly used demo price. The B&M bought it and it was renumbered and painted into the B&M livery and shipped east, so while the builders plate may well say 10/49 but it certainly had a prior interesting career.

This is London, right?
I'm embarrassed to say I can't quite remember. I processed and edited this photo as part of a bigger trip. I'm too lazy to check the EXIF and cross-reference the dates... even though that would have taken less time than writing this sentence. But, instead, I'm saying it like this to let you know that sometimes my memory fades a bit. Some spots I remember perfect perfect perfect perfect... and others fade away and drift into others. I'm not sure why memory works like this... why there are some things that are perfect and some that are fuzzy. The way that memory works in this incomplete way is interesting to me.
