Mid Hants Railway - Falconer Allen Charter with Class 9F 92212 passing PW Hut at Arleside (DSC 8911)
Great Western Castle Class 4-6-0 No 7029 Clun Castle passing New Earswick on the outskirts of York with the returning White Rose promoted and operated by Vintage Trains.
The Collett designed loco was at the head of 1Z43, the 17:12 Scarborough to Birmingham New Street.
I was expecting sister engine 5043 so it was a surprise to see 7029.
B1 1264 accelerates away from Goathland with the 12.45 Whitby - Pickering service on Thurs 17th October 2019.
Traffic speeds through the Glasgow city centre section of the M8.
An NDx64 filter was used to enable the traffic to be blurred with a longish exposure and enhance the feeling of speed. Since the M8 wasn't in its usual rush hour "car park" mode, three shots were blended together using layer masks to increase the traffic density.
When we are doing nothing in particular, it is then that we are living through all our being. Will is suspended, but nature and time are always active; and if our life is no longer our work, the work goes on nonetheless. With us, without us, or in spite of us, our existence travels through its appointed phases.
-- Henri Frédéric Amiel
67010 propels 1W57 10.52 Cardiff Central to Manchester Piccadilly TFW service, passing Stokesay Castle in Shropshire.
This is a scene from a foggy morning on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad a few weeks ago. Here visiting locomotive 315 has stopped at Cumbers Pass—elevation 10,015 feet—to take on water after the climb up the four percent grade from Chama, New Mexico. I like the inclusion of the two trainmen, one passing something up to the other. In a greater sense they symbolize the passing along of the skills required to operate steam locomotives from one generation to the next, fifty years after the last of them roamed the United States in freight revenue service.
45036 on the down Scotch at Hirst Wood with Salts Mill and United Reformed Church in the background and the Leeds-Liverpool Canal alongside. 17 November 1977.
A bright and sunny day found us deep in the woods on Central Maine and Quebec's Moosehead Sub watching locomotives from the new owner pulling a 77-car freight.
CSXT West Springfield to Selkirk train M425 rounds the bend on Main 1 as they come out from beneath the East Street / Route 9 overpass right at MP 147 (note the milepost partially obscured at right) on modern day CSXT's Berkshire Subdivision, the one time Boston and Albany Railroad mainline. Freshly rebuilt CM44AH 7577 sparkles in the low afternoon light as they pull down so they can go pick up the outbound Housatonic Railroad interchange traffic off the west end of Track 3.
Looming beyond is the the last remaining building from the once massive former GE plastics plant. General Electric was once the dominant industry in town dating all the way back to 1903 when when it purchased the Stanley Electric Manufacturing Co., which had been established in Pittsfield in 1890. In addition to its plastics division, GE manufactured transformers in town and operated an aerospace division. At its peak during the 1940s, the GE plant employed 13,000 people - in a city of just about 50,000!
The transformer division shut down by 1987 and took 2000 jobs with it, followed by the sale of aerospace to Lockheed Martin leaving only about 500 employees working for the plastics division. That last operation was closed and the remains sold off in 2005 and since that time many of the buildings on the 324 acre site have been removed, and for the past two decades GE has been working to clean and remediate the area from decades of PCB contamination. In fact I thought this scene looked different from the last time I photographed off this bridge and turns out I was right: flic.kr/p/2nqsYeE
In addition to being a major employer it was once a huge rail customer though today what little trackage remains on the property is rusty and unused and there is so little rail served industry left that CSXT has long since abolished their last local freight crew in town.

too swift a look,
too sluggish a fixation.
Ahh, I should be tasered for neglecting this stream, and yours. I know, it is quite annoying for me to repeat this over and over again on every upload. Anyway, I am in the midst of my Western Art History research. Focusing on the Northern Renaissance, put forth new dimensions I have not explored before.

We were waiting at Muir for a BNSF manifest to clear up because the Montana Rail Link local out of Livingston was behind it. As we waited I met Ray here, who had the job of digging out the cattle grates after the grader came through, smoothing out the dirt roads. I got the feeling he thought we were a little nuts driving all the way from Pennsylvania just to take pictures of trains, but he was polite enough not to say it.
