One of the places i really wanted to hit in Colorado was the San Luis & Rio Grande which i was hoping to chase some of their Maroon & gold painted engines. I arrived into Alamosa to find this beast tied down the night before this was taken next to the shops. I woke up the next morning to find that the engine and car 820 were gone so I headed east to quickly caught up to the test train heading for La Veta pass at a good clip. I would chase them as far east as Forbes Park before they would get deep into the Pass.
Margaret Pace Park is an 8-acre (3.2 ha) urban park located in the Omni and Edgewater districts of Greater Downtown Miami, Florida, U.S.A. The park is located on Biscayne Bay and has tennis courts as well as personal fitness equipment.[1] Directly across North Bayshore Drive, three large condominium complexes that were built in the 2000s housing and economic bubble overlook the park. The park underwent a $4 million renovation during this time. An even larger building is under construction adjacent the park As of 2015. The historic Miami Women's Club building is located directly to the south of the park.
This afternoon, Cade and Luke McIntyre let me know of a solo-shot Ferromex leader headed my way, so despite the sub-par weather, I decided to go out and get it, so long as I'm allowed to.
Here, the FXE 4042 is on the head end of the GS3GCO-20, an Eagle Pass to Colby, KS grain train, and I'm pacing it just west of Silver Lake, KS on US 24.
A brace of 143s, forming a Paignton to Exmouth service, meander along the seawall. Beyond the tower of St. Michael's the upper reaches of Shaldon provide the backdrop.
Un monumento per festeggiare un matrimonio: inizia così la storia dell’Arco della Pace, l’arco trionfale che si trova all’inizio di Corso Sempione a Milano. Nel gennaio 1806, erano infatti convolati a nozze Eugenio di Beauharnais, viceré d’Italia e figlio adottivo di Napoleone, e Augusta di Baviera. Per accoglierli a Milano, venne innalzato un arco effimero su disegno dell’architetto Luigi Cagnola: si trovava su quello che oggi è Corso Venezia ed era stato costruito con tela, plastica e legname. L’opera ebbe un inaspettato successo fra i visitatori stranieri e le autorità decisero così di erigere un arco in marmo in un luogo della città più adatto a ospitare un’opera tanto imponente.
Il nuovo arco fu progettato dallo stesso architetto per festeggiare la vittoria francese nella battaglia di Jena dell’ottobre 1806 contro l’esercito prussiano. I numerosi bassorilievi avrebbero narrato di battaglie, miti e allegorie di fiumi. I lavori stavano per essere completati quando il regno d’Italia cadde nelle mani degli austriaci che, a partire dal 1926, ne ripresero l’edificazione, cambiandone la dedica: nel 1838 l’Arco di Trionfo venne inaugurato con una fastosa cerimonia alla presenza di Ferdinando I, Imperatore d'Austria e re del Lombardo-Veneto, e fu dedicato alla pace fra le nazioni europee raggiunta con il Congresso di Vienna del 1815.
Gli asburgo non si fecero mancare uno sberleffo: la posizione dei cavalli che trainano il carro della pace venne modificata dagli austriaci. Per farsi beffa dei francesi, i cavalli vennero ruotati di 180 gradi affinché il loro fondoschiena fosse orientato verso la Francia.
L'8 giugno 1859, quattro giorni dopo la vittoria di Magenta, Napoleone III e Vittorio Emanuele II entrarono a Milano attraverso l’arco: fu un ingresso trionfale in Milano, fra le acclamazioni della folla.
A monument to celebrate a wedding: thus begins the story of the Arco della Pace, the triumphal arch that is located at the beginning of Corso Sempione in Milan. In January 1806, Eugenio di Beauharnais, viceroy of Italy and adopted son of Napoleon, and Augsburg of Bavaria were married. To welcome them to Milan, an ephemeral arch was built based on a design by the architect Luigi Cagnola: it was located on what is now Corso Venezia and was built with canvas, plastic and timber. The work had an unexpected success among foreign visitors and the authorities decided to erect a marble arch in a place in the city best suited to host such an impressive work.
The new arch was designed by the same architect to celebrate the French victory in the battle of Jena in October 1806 against the Prussian army. The numerous bas-reliefs would have narrated battles, myths and allegories of rivers. The works were about to be completed when the Kingdom of Italy fell into the hands of the Austrians who, starting in 1926, resumed its construction, changing its dedication: in 1838 the Arc de Triomphe was inaugurated with a sumptuous ceremony in the presence of Ferdinand I, Emperor of Austria and king of Lombardy-Veneto, and was dedicated to peace among the European nations reached with the Congress of Vienna in 1815.
The Habsburgs did not miss a sneer: the position of the horses that pull the chariot of peace was modified by the Austrians. To make fun of the French, the horses were rotated 180 degrees so that their lower back was oriented towards France.
On 8 June 1859, four days after the victory of Magenta, Napoleon III and Vittorio Emanuele II entered Milan through the arch: it was a triumphal entry into Milan, among the cheers of the crowd.
A visit to Teeside in September '87 sees a class 143 Pacer rounding the curve at Cargo Fleet. The grainy Agfa CT21 is quite evident here.
An errand in Chester yesterday saw me let the train take the strain. I probably should do so more often seeing as the £5 return fare was less than the usual cost of parking and petrol combined, plus I also get a bit of exercise strolling from the station into the city centre.
Anyhow, I may be mistaken, but I think this is only my second visit to the station since the 1970s so I figured I'd get a couple of snaps at least for old times sake. No class 40s on the North Wales runs this time but still a reasonable amount of traffic, even if most of it was DMUs of one sort or another. What did strike me was how attractive the station still looks - Manchester Victoria might be a thing of the past but, for me, Chester still has a lot to offer visually with those thick-set girders and splendid roof canopies.
In this shot, Northern class 142 Pacer no. 142043 stands in the platform 5 bay where, in some four hours time, it will form the 1.59pm service to Manchester Piccadilly (2H37) via Knutsford and Stockport. Given the damp cold conditions, let's hope the driver puts in an early appearance to have the unit well warm before any punters climb aboard.

On a cloudy evening full of Dash 9 leaders, I thought it was a good time to teach my six-year-old how to pace. It's a lot harder for a kid in a five-point harness than an adult with a seatbelt, but he did pretty well for his first time.

Passing the redundant Ystrad Mynach South signal box on the Cardiff Valleys network, "Pacers" 142076+142002 head south with 2P41 11:07 Rhymney - Penarth on 13/11/2013.
Apologies if not to everyone's taste, either the processing or subject matter but this is a scene and photograph idea I've had in mind for a while, I just needed to get to grips with the Photoshop technique to achieve.
This is actually made up of two images which were taken 30 minutes apart. The Pacer train was taken at 17:15 (1/400 f3.5 ISO800) with just enough light to stop the moving train with the second shot taken at 17:48 (4sec f8 ISO100). In Photoshop I've merged and blended the two together, keeping the sky and train from the earlier shot and with the city night scene a blend of the two.
Anyway, its kept me out of trouble for a while.
The scene is looking out over the city of Leeds from Holbeck. The working is the once daily Leeds to Goole service, just passing Engine Shed Junction, with the old Holbeck shed out of view to the left.
For the record, the working is a Northern Rail 3 Car Class 144, 144015 working 2F25 17:16 Leeds to Goole.

Whilst waiting fort the Deltic last week I took a few other passing shots. One of which was this ancient pacer, 142 042. I don't know what their life expectancy was when built but they have certainly exceeded it. As far as I can see online they will be withdrawn by December 2019.
The original of this image was little dark and lacking detail so I have tweaked it a little to bring out the detail of the former Methley Junction station building and passing pacer.
For any Pacer lovers living in Kent there is positive news! The East Kent Railway now have one and I think a second one is coming to. 142 017 is pictured at Shepherdswell and once the railway starts running trains you wont have to travel far to enjoy a bit of Pacer action. (no jokes about rather using the trolley in front please)
Today was a dreary day in northeast Kansas, but I had the day off, so I kept the scanner on while hanging around the house. I heard the UP 8522 hollering at the Dispatcher, looked it up, and found that it was one of the newly-repainted, quasi-flagless units.
When Cade let me know that it was on the move eastbound, I picked up my stuff, and hit the road. Having not gotten any shots of these repaints leading yet, I was determined to get something out of the deal. I tried to beat it to Midland, but that didn't happen, so I kept rolling east. After a brief stop at CP Z021, I got to pacing the train near Loring on the UP Kansas Sub.
This is the CBTOL9-22, which runs from the Black Thunder Mine to Ameren's plant near Oologah, OK, so from KC, it'll turn towards the south for the home stretch.
Take note: Going out to chase this is in no way an endorsement of this scheme. I'm happy that they finally lost the hood flag, but the finished (?) product looks completely ridiculous. However, I had free time, and the determination to photograph something new to me.
Northern Rail liveried Pacer 142091 will shortly depart wrong line from Hexham with a Nunthorpe bound service.
We spent a day out in the towns along the eastern end of the Tyne Valley Line and I managed to squeeze a couple of railway shots in between visitng the delights of the local pubs and tea rooms. Friday 22.4.16
