And this is the third part of Operation: Broadsword. The whole point of the OP is to capture an HVT from the "Asghar Tower".
Not sure which photo is better the one with the little bit of green light or the one with only the clear. Please mention your opinion on both the build and which photo.
Thanks.

Rail Operations Group class 37 No. 37884 ‘Cepheus’ grumbles through the flat fens in the morning sun hauling Greater Anglian class 317s to scrap, 317885 and 317341, on the approach to Waterbeach working 5Q76 08:00 Ely MLF Papworth Sidings to Newport Docks (Simsgroup) running 30 minutes late. 15/02/2023.
I’d tried this location before in the summer with this same loco when the class 317s were being taken to Papworth to storage. The shot didn’t go well as something wasn’t right about it l, not to mention the fact I mucked up the composure but mainly because the vegetation next to the track had grown up making it difficult to see the train. I was wanting to go out for this movement today as it was half term and I had the day free so I was checking Google Maps for good locations when this one came to mind. The spot is taken on the edge of Bannold Road on a grass verge before a field and works well most of the day as the sun position up until about 14:00 this time of year. I had to make sure that the vegetation wasn’t going to be too high this time of year and luckily street view was taken during colder months and showed a lot of of what I knew was there before.
Luckily for the shot, there service was running half an hour late which gave the sun more time to break through the clouds and fog, if it had passed on time, the sun would not have broken through yet. Very happy with how this shot tuned out, I've never had a good shot with this loco so pleased to finally get one. I used my bigger set of steps for this which have 4 steps, I was stood on the highest point, this was necessary to attempt to be more level with the train at this location as the railway is slightly higher than the road. An extra note is the Union Flag positioned above the coupling on the front of 37884, it may not be very visible in my shot as I am aware you can't zoom in very far but I noticed it afterwards and though I best point it out.
The final shot of the final train of an awesome trip, Amtrak Train 6 departs Naperville along the Metra BNSF Line as they continue towards Chicago, led by Amtrak's sharp Operation Lifesaver unit, P42DC 203.

Shhhh
I'm performing surgery
Close your mouth, close your eyes
He has a ticking part
That may pop out
And cause someone surprise
Don't worry
There won't be much blood
It will be quick, he'll never know
That his ticking part
His missing part
Is something that has to go

On the command center for flight deck operations you will find the list shown in the picture. Quite interesting detail you will get on the ready room's tour, all the names are pilots which are died, missing or get captured.

Hard to tell here, but the light is extremely low in this very cool old stone recreation center, so hard to get descent photos for me.
Annual Operation Wildlife Eagle Days at Wyandotte County Park. Wonderful organization that takes in injured and abandoned wildlife and nurses them back to health then releases back into the wild. Some that can't be released participate as educational ambassadors for their species.

The 2017 field season was record-breaking for Operation IceBridge, NASA’s aerial survey of the state of polar ice. For the first time in its nine-year history, the mission, which aims to close the gap between two NASA satellite campaigns that study changes in the height of polar ice, carried out seven field campaigns in the Arctic and Antarctic in a single year. In total, the IceBridge scientists and instruments flew over 214,000 miles, the equivalent of orbiting the Earth 8.6 times at the equator.
The mission of Operation IceBridge, NASA’s longest-running airborne mission to monitor polar ice, is to collect data on changing polar land and sea ice and maintain continuity of measurements between ICESat missions. The original ICESat mission launched in 2003 and ended in 2009, and its successor, ICESat-2, is scheduled for launch in the fall of 2018. Operation IceBridge began in 2009 and is currently funded until 2020. The planned overlap with ICESat-2 will help scientists connect with the satellite’s measurements.

A Victorian special operations task force was assigned to ambush an exchange of radioactive material and capture a high value individual (HVI) codename Panther, a Russian arms dealer.
The tasks were assigned to the TF through drawing straws. The assault team consisted of Team 8, the Squadron Master Chief (Callsign Orca-minor), and two machine gunners from Team 7. The extraction team consisted of Team 55 with Squadron Commander (Callsign Orca-actual), and a fire support section from the Special Operations Regiment. The extraction team are mounted in two GMV, one LAV-FSV, one LAV-ICV, and one HMWV Cargo. The remaining operators from Team 7 in two HH-60 Pave Hawks would be the QRF and positioned at FOB Spade. Video links with the Task Force's TOC, Victoria’s National Command Centre (NCC), United States’ Situation Room and United Kingdom’s COBRA were also setup to monitor the mission on the day of the exchange.
As the assault team patrol to the exchange site after being inserted into the AO by high altitude high opening (HAHO) insertion, the extraction team departed the staging base and arrived at a rendezvous point.

Grayhawk and a 4-man patrol from the Special Operations Group were tasked to extract a deep cover agent codename Emerald from the Naran Darre Mountain region. The team traveled to his last known location.
As they arrived, they observed from a distance that a Spetsnaz team searched and left the safe house without Emerald. After the Spetsnaz left, Grayhawk and his team approached the safehouse, hoping to find clues on Emerald's whereabouts.

No syringe this time.
But I liked the slightly sinister face I pulled! Not really reassuring!!

Backstory: Reports have come in detailing a radar tower that has been helping the Urag plan attacks on key points of our defense. Your job is to get in there, take out the dish, and get out ASAP. The surrounding area is heavily fortified, and out intelligence has reported that the Copper Suns are guarding it. As you know, the Copper Suns are elite Urag who are willing to kill themselves to help the Urag cause. They are violent, unpredictable, are difficult to kill. That is why I want you in and out before they react.
Too late.
Once this was the biggest airfield in Eastern Germany with thousands of Soviet soldiers living here - but when the Iron Curtain was lifted, they left. For 30 years now, this has been a ghost town. This time, we set out to explore a Soviet wasteland! Learn the full story in this episode on YouTube: youtu.be/t-pYZenXMyk
Operation Perch began on 7 June and was the attempt to capture Caen after the direct attack on D-day failed. The plan called for the 7th Armoured Division, supported by the 50th Division to strike south to capture Tilly-sur-Seulles, following which the 7th Armoured Division would capture Villers-Bocage and Evrecy. On 7 June, the 50th Division occupied Bayeux and advanced 3 miles (4.8 km) south. On 8 June a column from the division started south over the Caen–Bayeux railway into the Bocage. Advancing 6,000 yards (5,500 m) to the bridges between Tilly and Saint-Pierre (~1 mile (1.6 km) to the east), they were joined by the 8th D.L.I. but had placed themselves in a salient facing the Panzer Lehr Division and the SS Hitlerjugend Division. Saint-Pierre was captured after close-quarters fighting by 8 D.L.I. and 24th Lancers on 9 June. Counter-attacked on 10 June, they were for a time surrounded. This counter-attack blunted the advance to Villers-Bocage that day and the 69th Brigade attack on Cristot. The 8th D.L.I was finally withdrawn on 12 June after losing 212 officers and men in the struggle. During this time the remainder of the division had fought forward to hold a line (either side of the 7th Armoured Division) between La Belle Epine and Point 103 (~1 mile (1.6 km)) to the north-east of Saint Pierre.

CSX's Operation Lifesaver 50th Anniversary unit rolls CSX train I015 (Chambersburg, PA to Bedford Park, IL, stacks) by the old Acme steel mill, now under the banner of Cleveland-Cliffs in Riverdale, Illinois on CSX's former B&OCT Barr Sub.

After a long day north of the St. Louis area, I was looking forward to a few hours of train action. However, this was not the case. The sun and limited camera angles were working against me quite a bit today as I anxiously drove around Granite City trying to find a place to settle down. With failure being quite evident, I decided to call it a day after getting this one (and only from today) picture of a parked coal train.
