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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

WIND MOVER, a Offshore Construction Jack Up sailing under the flag of Marshall Islands. Her length overall is 195 meters and her width is 56 meters.
Kicking up clouds of dust, CECX (Cummins Inc.) Tier-4 "Clean Diesel" Demonstrator #1919 accelerates quickly out of Jasonville, Indiana with an INRD train for interchange with CSX at Terre Haute. Yes, it sounds a little like a bus, albeit a bigger, more powerful one. The locomotive runs with the QSK-95, Cummins' 16-cylinder 4400-hp prime mover.
"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.
Due to 7470 being down for maintenance this year's annual Mass Bay RRE's 'Steam In The Snow' charter on the Conway Scenic Railroad was instead billed as 'Covered Wagons In The Snow' and it did not disappoint. Having traveled as far as the Notchland Inn where four photo runbys were performed the two original Boston and Maine F7s (4266 and 4268) owned by the 470 Railroad Club are on their way back east with the train.
This route opened in 1875 as the Portland and Ogdensburg Railway and would remain an important through freight route for succesor Maine Central until 1983, known for most of its life as the Mountain Subdivision. Shuttered for a dozen years it was purchased by the State of New Hampshire from MEC Guilford Transportation in 1994 and revived by 1996 to become a wildly popular 25 mile extension of the little Conway Scenic.
This was the only true 'must have' shot I wanted for the day, and I couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out. They are seen at Sawyers River, MP 74.8, where fom 1877 to 1928 the 8 mile long Sawyers River Railroad (a logging operation) connected, although the MEC agency at this spot was closed in 1921. Two historic structures survive to this day, the section men's car house at right and the foreman's dwelling at left, both now privately owned. To the left of the train obscured by the snow is a 21 car passing siding that once again sees use in the summer season as a run around track. One interesting fact is that the house used to also be located on the right (north) side of the mainline but was moved across in the 1950s when Route 302 was relocated. Not wanting a private grade crossing here the railroad chose to move the home instead!
I now have good shots in three of the four seasons here, and a true spring one isn't really possible as the railroad doesn't run their first regularly scheduled Mountaineer train until May 27th.
To see a green summery view here if you missed it before check out this shot:

And for a 'Steam In The Rain' shot this same weekend three years ago check out this:
As for the two classic EMDs, 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 in early 2022. 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 1757 (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.

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.

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.
