Westbound on the B&O where it crossed the Erie Lackawanna this Chessie freight is getting orders at "RU" tower in Sterling, Ohio on 5-21-77.
With slow orders in effect over almost 80% of its right-of-way, the Searles Turn advances slowly to its namesake interchange as a stiff wind blows exhaust from its SDs toward Ridgecrest.
We recently touched on reminiscing back to our school days and the characters we were so lucky to go to school with, which many of you related to.👨🏫🎓🚌
The last reportage on said matter occurred during a biology lesson, so I thought it would be appropriate to carry on from where we left off.📘📕📘
Our teacher was giving us a lesson on the circulation of blood. Trying to make the matter easier to understand he said, “Now children, if I stood on my head, the blood would run into it and my face would turn red”. “Yes Sir” we all said.😡
The teacher then put this question to us, “Why is it that while I am standing upright, the blood doesn’t run into my feet?” Little Reggie shouts from the back of the class, “it’s because your feet aren’t empty Sir”.👣🙋♂️👦
I will leave you with this thought for the weekend, Hoof recently had a medical in order to renew his Aeronautics licence, the Doctor told Hoof that he needs to watch his alcohol intake.
So Hoof now sits in front of a mirror.🐎💨🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🚀
Thank you so much for viewing my photos, the comments and banter are so appreciated, have a lovely weekend.

Another day is soon to close for the California Northern. It's been a long day for these guys, with one crew spending the morning unloading the last cut of loads, and the outbound crew showing up early in the afternoon. After spending a couple hours getting the train ready for departure, it was time to go.
The train was originating in Artois, bound for the UP interchange at Davis. The crew this day had a much shorter trip than usual, as it being a gypsum meant there were no cars to set out or pick up. The crew did run into a few problems along the way, leaving Artois they had to run long hood forward at restricted speeds, the original lead motor had no radios, therefore having to pick up a new lead unit, several cars running the gates in front of them, which they got very close to hitting at least one, and a slow order at Yolo. By the time the train reached Davis blue hour would have just passed.
At Yolo, the train approaches the single span truss over Cache Creek. Going only 10 mph, I decided to shoot the train as it approached the bridge, getting the headlights to emphasize the slight grade approaching the creek. The sun was soon to drop below the horizon, and the sky can be seen slowly turning into a vibrant purple. This would be my last shot of the train before heading home.
Order(s) up! Penn Central train JA-1 taking orders at Boyd Tower in Jeffersonville, Indiana on July 4, 1968.
Sepp Dietrich giving final orders to the tank commander 1st SS Panzer Division "Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler"
With no voice due to a cold, the doctor said take the day to rest your voice and get better. Well, he also said to get fresh air...so when Q148 was reported with CREX 1505 leading, I figured why not go out for a bit!
The conductor leans out of CN 5739 to pickup bulletins from the operator at JB Tower in West Chicago, IL. A once very common scene is now a rare occurrence.

CSX GP40-2 6234 led Geometry Train W801 into the siding at Sisson Street in 1995. It was doing its annual tour handing out slow orders.
The B&O signals are long gone. This area is now quite overgrown and the overpass that I stood on is closed.
Sorry for the lack of uploads lately, so here is a shot of some rainy stormtroopers. Criticism is welcome.
Built on the royal orders of Sultan Qaboos of Oman, the Royal Opera House reflects unique contemporary Omani architecture, and has a capacity to accommodate maximum of 1,100 people. This opera house, became the first in the world equipped with Radio Marconi's multimedia interactive display seatback system, Mode23.
As simple shot I did a while back of the Cantina set. From the session this was the only shot I liked.
Part of the Mansfield Brewery Site which opened in 1855 and closed in 2002. This Nottinghamshire Limestone wall with bricked-up windows and doors looks older than 1855 to me. Part of the iconic Edwardian building next door is now, appropriately, a micro pub.
It was interesting to watch the dogs and their owners at the dog sports club on Sunday. This pug was getting some final instructions before he was supposed to show the audience how obedience training works. I was quite impressed.
"All right, soldiers, advance on that dastardly light pole over on the right and destroy it with your rays. This idiot has no Photoshop and can't clone it out himself!"
NO INVITES OR ICONS
Was making some orders this morning for my next project and Austin reminded me to render this Panther proto that I finished last week. The Panther body is a combo of KingTiger's/Jeff's/LFL's Panther hulls. I wanted my first attempt to be a lil different. I remembered L4L showing off his V-IV a lil while back, so I wanted to give that one a go. I modded my old PA Pzr IV turret to fit properly on the hull and then added the turret armor. I can never remember how to spell the German name for the armor. :) Like most of my models, it is probably a lil overkill as far as strength and structure goes. So it is a lil lacking in fine details. But I like it. My collection of tanks is still growing. I want to eventually build this in some kind of camo. But the train is coming first. :)
Credit to KT, Jeff, L4L, and PA for the assist in building this Panther.
Getting ready for the off - (the purple pursuit!) I went over to Over Owler Tor a fortnight ago to check on the heather. Odd parts of the ling were in flower (there's a prominent bit in the centre bottom of the frame) but a lot looks dead or desiccated from the long hot spring.
The clouds made for a half-decent shot anyway.

" Shortly after we left the war torn planet of Atraken and returned to the Republic cruiser Endurance, I received my platoon's... or rather my next assignment. My orders were to select three troopers from my platoon and then report to the Internal Security Bureau on Coruscant. There we would be briefed on an under cover mission with the objective of infiltrating the bounty hunter guild which appeared to be thriving within Coruscant's lower levels. This mission would be dangerous probably the most dangerous one the Republic has thrown at the 253rd, we weren't going up against battle droids this time instead we would be going up against ruthless and trained killers. Originally I planned on going solo on this one, but I eventually agreeded to let Lucky tag along. After a quick visit to the Endurance's armory Lucky and I no longer looked like the disciplined faceless soldiers we were meant to be. Instead of our standard shiny white armor we wore a mix of cloth and steel.
It was here in the armory where an angry Rook confronted me about me decision to bench the rest of the platoon. Though no matter how compelling his argument was my decision stayed the same. We had just barley made it off Atraken without a signal casualtie and there was no way in hell that I was going to risk loosing anyone on the Republic's homeworld..."

Thanks for viewing and have a great day!

Another shot from the Roman Festival in August.
This soldier was shouting orders in latin as the army marched past. He definitely had the voice for the job.

After leaving the Berendrecht lock, the "Voge Dignity" (IMO 9420851) is seen here passing the PSA Noordzee Terminal as the tanker sails downstream the river Scheldt and out to the anchorage in front of the Belgian coast to wait for orders.
Two days later, just before midnight on September 23rd 2021, the vessel headed back to Antwerp where it berthed at the Sea-Tank Terminal at the Kanaal dock B2.

It has been a while since I shared any new images. Due to unforeseen circumstances my opportunities to get out with the camera are more limited than ever, meaning the chances of any new landscape work is slim.
However, I am working on a nice collection of images for my street portfolio, including this one from a late night wander around Soho in London on Friday night
The Order of Solomon's Seal was the second highest and oldest order of the Ethiopian Empire (Emperor Tewodros II awarded the first order during the 1860's). The Order was given to the Emperor and Empress, the Crown Prince and Princess, and the male members of the Imperial family, the as well as Christian heads of state around the world.
The Cordon was an Emerald Green Sash worn from the right shoulder to the left hip with the plaque hanging at the left hip. In the highest grade of this order, the cross in the middle of the star was enameled green on both the plaque and the breast star. Lower grades were plain gold with no green enamel.
