Forbidden City by Indo Chine
Consistently rated among the preeminent establishments at Singapore’s mega-popular Clarke Quay nightlife precinct, The Forbidden City has for years been attracting crowds of discerning diners and party goers with its multi-faceted offerings. Occupying the majestic Singapore waterfront building- The River House- which has been listed as World Heritage Site by UNESCO- the building was originally a 19th Century river front godown, later converted into the palatial residence of a wealthy trader. Operated by Singapore’s renowned IndoChine Group, the building has, while maintaining its historic structure and facade, been extensively re-modelled internally into a collection of stylish restaurants, bars and nightclubs.

With most shortlines generally operating on weekdays, I had to take advantage of an entire Wednesday off work yesterday. Initially I had planned to head east to Delaware on good authority that ESPN would run a blue and yellow trio out of Wilsmere, but when I punched this into the GPS I must've had a brainfart of some sort, as it began taking me west towards the MMID. By the time I noticed my mistake I was already half way to Union Bridge, so turning around would've been of a low mental standard. Instead I caught up to UBHF at Thurmont, where I was very pleasantly surprised to see a lashup of three flared 40's and a pair of oldies in tow, lined up with the 2060 facing east for the return. After a westbound chase to Highfield, I set up in Sabillasville after scoping out all the possible eastbound angles and settled for this winner. A nerve-wracking two hours later, and surely not long before the shadows consumed the ROW, the screaming dynamics of the MMID quintet could be heard roaring down the mountain, and a scene for the ages was converted into pixels.
Any resemblance to a wellknown computer operating system is purely coincidental!

While out shooting I noticed a crop duster operating in the field next to me but didn't think much about it until the noise grew louder and I turned to see this. Immediately the famous crop duster scene in North By Northwest came to mind. I was tempted to run and make my escape but I'm no Cary Grant so I decided to take the photo instead.
As always, your faves and comments are appreciated. Constructive criticism and suggestions are especially welcome as I believe they help to make me a better photographer. Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos.

The marbachsee was originally built between 1978 and 1982 by the Mümling Water Association, which operates the reservoir, for flood control purposes, but has officially also served as a recreational area since 1986.
The primary reason for building the Marbach Reservoir was flood protection for the towns and villages downstream. Because the Marbach stream has a relatively large catchment area, the Mümling's discharge capacity could easily be exceeded after periods of rain or snowmelt. Since the dam's completion, the Marbach's flow into the Mümling can be controlled.
A small hydroelectric power plant with a capacity of 80 kW was attached to the Marbach Reservoir. At full capacity, the Marbach Reservoir is the largest body of still water in the Odenwald region.
Another reason for constructing the Marbach Reservoir was its use for recreation and leisure. Activities possible there include swimming, boating, windsurfing, sailing, fishing, and hiking.
The Marbach Reservoir is divided into three sections from west to east:
"Bird sanctuary" with a nature reserve island; officially not a bird or nature reserve
Bathing area with a beach, sunbathing lawn, and bathing islands
Surfing and sailing area for boats with a sail area of up to 3.5 m².
Der Marbach-Stausee wurde von 1978 bis 1982 vom Wasserverband Mümling, welcher der Betreiber der Stauanlage ist, ursprünglich zum Hochwasserschutz erbaut, dient aber offiziell seit 1986 auch der Erholung.
Hauptanlass zum Bau des Marbach-Stausees war der Hochwasserschutz der talabwärts liegenden Orte. Da der Marbach ein relativ großes Einzugsgebiet aufweist, konnte nach Regen- oder Schmelzperioden leicht die Abflusskapazität der Mümling übertroffen werden. Seit der Fertigstellung der Talsperre lässt sich der Zufluss des Marbachs in die Mümling kontrollieren.
Der Marbach-Talsperre wurde ein kleines Wasserkraftwerk mit 80 kW Leistung angegliedert. Der Marbach-Stausee bei Vollstau das flächenmäßig größte Stillgewässer des Odenwaldes.
Ein weiterer Grund zur Errichtung des Marbach-Stausees war die Nutzung zu Erholungs- und Freizeitzwecken. Zu dort möglichen Aktivitäten gehören: Baden, Bootfahren, Windsurfen, Segeln, Angeln und Wandern.
Die Fläche des Marbach-Stausees ist von West nach Ost in drei Abschnitte unterteilt: „Vogelschutzgebiet“ mit Naturschutzinsel; offiziell kein Vogel- oder Naturschutzgebiet
"Badebereich" mit Badestrand, Liegewiese und Badeinseln und "Surf- und Segelbereich" für Boote bis 3,5 m² Segelfläche.

The West Rim is located on the Native American reservation, owned and operated by the Hualapai Nation. The West Rim is most famous for its natural landscape and the Skywalk (…more on that later). At the West Rim, visitors can walk right up to the rim and peer 4,000 feet down the canyon to the Colorado River. The West Rim, while not as wide as the South Rim, is still extremely impressive and the drop to the canyon floor is almost completely vertical.
Joshua Tree
Yucca brevifolia (also known as the Joshua tree, yucca palm, tree yucca, and palm tree yucca) is a plant species belonging to the genus Yucca. It is tree-like in habit, which is reflected in its common names.
This monocotyledonous tree is native to the arid Southwestern United States, specifically California, Arizona, Utah, and Nevada, and northwestern Mexico. It is confined mostly to the Mojave Desert between 400 and 1,800 m (1,300 and 5,900 ft) elevation. It thrives in the open grasslands of Queen Valley and Lost Horse Valley in Joshua Tree National Park. Other regions with large populations of the tree can be found northeast of Kingman, Arizona, in Mohave County; and along U.S. 93 between the towns of Wickenburg and Wikieup, a route which has been designated the Joshua Tree Parkway of Arizona. The trees are abundant in Saddleback Butte State Park only 85 miles north of Downtown Los Angeles in Los Angeles County's Antelope Valley.[10] The common name Joshua tree apparently comes from Christian iconography.
Operating in true C&NW left handed fashion, this eastbound pig train has just departed Boone after a crew change. They are passing under the old Fort Dodge, Des Moines & Southern Railway bridge on the east side of town. The Fort Dodge Line was started as an electrified interurban hauling passengers and freight. After passenger service ceased, their freight business was lucrative enough that the C&NW bought the company in the late 1960s. This part of the Fort Dodge Line has been abandoned but the right of way is still visible on Google Maps photo. Unfortunately there is no trace of the bridge left.
I am pretty sure the shadow next to me is Jim French from Dixon.
Forget the PC at Christmas days!
Be there for your family and your beloved ones!
Merry Christmas!!!

The Ontario Southland operates a fleet of vintage EMD and Alco/MLW products on a few sections of former Canadian Pacific trackage in southern Ontario. Two of the coolest locomotives on their roster are a pair of former SOO Line GP7s, 378 and 383. Both Geeps are seen here working the Woodstock Turn on their way back west, stopping to do a bit of switching in Beachville.

The Strathspey Railway operates from platform 3 of Network Rail's Aviemore railway station. Until 1998 the railway's southern terminus was Aviemore Speyside about 300 yards (270 m) further north. Aviemore Speyside is no longer in regular use, although its platform has been retained as a fallback in case of problems with access to the Network Rail station. Coaling of the steam locomotives is carried out at a facility constructed in 2014 on the site of the former Aviemore Speyside station building. Its signal box, which was formerly at Garve West and transported from there in 1986, was retained when the station itself shut. New features are gradually being brought into service at the Aviemore site controlled using traditional British Railways mechanical semaphore signalling.
From Aviemore, the line passes the four-road locomotive shed which was constructed by the Highland Railway in 1898. The original purpose of the shed was to house locomotives for the lines to Perth and Inverness (via Carrbridge and Forres). It was common for original Highland Railway engines to be allocated to the shed and in London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) days it housed Stanier Black Fives, Pickersgill Bogies (Caledonian Railway), Caley 439 tanks, Caley 812 classes, and Fairburn tanks. In British Railways days the shed was allocated the shed code '60B'. These days the engines that are in traffic on the Strathspey Railway still bear the 60B shedplate on their smokebox. The shed has a 60-foot (18 m) turntable, originally from Kyle of Lochalsh.
There is also a carriage maintenance shed which was erected and opened for use in 2005; this shed allows the railway's volunteers and staff to work on its fleet of coaches indoors. On the opposite side of the line is a three road carriage storage shed erected and opened in 2011; this allows the coaches to be stored under cover and protected from the weather.
The former engine crew hostel, called Spey Lodge, stands just to the north. This building was erected by the LMS during the Second World War to provide railway crews with a safe and cheap option for accommodation whilst rostered to work locally. The British Railways Staff Association For Scotland then took it on to provide holiday accommodation for railway staff and their families. It was saved by the Strathspey Railway Company during the 1970s and gradually the facilities have been upgraded by volunteers. Spey Lodge now fulfils its original role again, providing hostel accommodation for engine crews and other volunteers working on the railway.
After Spey Lodge, the railway passes the site of the new Aviemore Hospital then crosses Dalfaber level crossing, an Automatic Open Crossing, Locally Monitored (AOCL). This level crossing was not originally part of the railway, but was installed after the development of the Dalfaber Estate in the 1980s. After crossing the road and passing the Cairngorm Brewery the line climbs through Granish Moor. This heather moor affords views of Cairngorm Mountain and the line runs parallel to the Speyside Way, a popular walking and cycling route. Once into the forest at the north end of the moor, the line descends past Boat of Garten golf course and into the village of Boat of Garten itself.

Operating across the old Rock Island mainline from Blue Island, IL to Council Bluffs, IA the Iowa Interstate can rightly claim the mantle of successor on the heart of that once 'Mighty Fine Line.' I truly did not expect to be so lucky as to see one of their trains in the short time I allotted for my first visit to this famous location. So this was second only to the UP heritage unit in terms of my excitement here.
Anyway, I figured another frame was worth adding to my archives so here it is.
In this post I told the story of my first visit to Blue Island and the crazy variety show of trains.
Here is the sixth one I listed, as a pair of Iowa Interstate GE ES44ACs thump across the CN diamonds after crossing the bridge across the Calumet Sag Channel on Indiana Harbor Belt Main 1 at MP 15.2. I'm not sure where this train was headed or what it's symbol was but it appeared to be almost all empty ethanol tanks presumably headed back to Iowa via the old Rock Island Line.

At Repondek Railroad Company's Yankeetown dock facility, they still operate two of the three Yankeetown Dock Co. SD38-2s.
Built in November of 1972 to replace a small fleet of aging Fairbanks-Morse locomotives hauling coal trains on a built-for- purpose, 20-mile line in Southwestern Indiana, they have never strayed. Both 20 and 21 are used mostly for moving cars around the yard or dumper.
Even in 2017, when this was taken, RRC 21 still wears it's YDC paint from the late 80's. Looking closely, the picture shown by the employee is of YDC 1976 (YDC 21) wearing a bicentennial livery in 1976. Both it and 20 (a corner of which can be seen) have each worn at least three paint schemes just for Yankeetown Dock alone.
I have an affinity for coal mine locomotives and have collected slides and researched the lineage of many that once operated in the Midwest. I even bought a pair of the Scale Trains SD38-2s they had painted for Yankeetown Dock Co.

Iowa Northern operated a business train on a two-day tour of the railroad with CN officials aboard this week.
The first afternoon was spent touring former CGW trackage from Waterloo to Oelwein and a short two-mile segment of the Oelwein to Minneapolis mainline north of the yard that connects to a Viafield grain elevator seen in the background.
With no turning facilities in Oelwein, the railroad spotted this GP40-3 at the elevator to lead the train back towards Cedar Falls for the night before continuing their inspection the next day.
