171 Slieve Gullion passing Thurles on its way from Dublin to Cork on Saturday 11 May 1985.The first coach is the splendid 56 seat brake third built in 1934 for the famous North Atlantic Express.
With very little traffic on the road it was possible to get another pic a few hundred yards further on as it made slow progress on the climb to Blea Moor.
I live two miles from a regional airport and in weekends, skydiving sport is practiced. I was in the backyard of my house when I noticed that the paratroopers and the plane carrying them pass in front of the moon. I use the Nikon P900 to test the zoom, I know they are not the best photos, but they were two miles from my house.
CP 6400 leads this westbound blasting through Grand Ave in Milwaukee, passing the ruins of the old Blue Mound Yard office.
One of my photographer friends has taken images that are similar to this concept; what happens if you photograph while the crossing guards close? But at the Metra crossing at National Street, you have additional options – what if you merge traffic, train, casino boat, and crossing guard?
One from a couple of weeks ago, my most recent outing with the camera. It was a pleasant sunrise but the incoming storm clouds really added atmosphere to the morning on Cocklawburn Beach.
It is raining outside and a great time to catch up on my reading. 📖 📕 👓 😉

This was the third stop on my short dreary morning chase of the extra Providence and Worcester unit ethanol train led by a B40-8, B40-8W, B39-8E GE trio the first two of which are wearing their original independent P&W colors with the third dressed in the Genesee and Wyoming corporate scheme. They are enroute to the Shell tank farm at the Port of Providence as they roll west on Main 3 of Amtrak's New Haven Line thru ATWELLS interlocking at about MP 184 passing a row of classic old brick warehouses lining Harris Ave.
They are on Main 3 of Amtrak's New Haven Line as they roll west thru ATWELLS interlocking at about MP 184 passing a row of classic old brick warehouses lining Harris Ave. The track they are now on is the dedicated freight track built between 2002 and 2006, that was the culmination of a decade long process known as the Rhode Island Freight Rail Improvement Project on 22 miles of of the NEC from Boston Switch to Davisville. 17 miles of dedicated track were built or refurbished and 5 miles of the shared Amtrak mains were constructed to accommodate auto rack clearances beneath the wires.
Providence was once a major railroad city laced with freight yards and customers. It was so busy the New Haven even had a retarder hump yard in service into the mid 1950s to classify all the local traffic, but a few generations later it's virtually all gone. All freight business in Rhode Island has been the domain of the Providence and Worcester since May 1, 1982, and the only freight trains to ply these rails are weekday local PR-3, the nightly road freight from Worcester to Davisville and the occasional unit ethanol train like this.
Beyond the train atop Smith Hill stands the Rhode Island State Capitol. The Neoclassical structure was designed architectural firm of McKim, Mead, and White and it was constructed from 1895 to 1904. Rail historians will note another railroad connection there in that this was the same firm that designed New York's legendary Pennsylvania Station.

A metro passing by at station 'de Pijp' in Amsterdam. One of the new subway stations of the North-South Line.
The strong light from the rising sun passes through this old barn. I have been pretty sick the last couple of days therefore going out when it is 15 degrees wasn't an option....so this is the best that i could do from the driver seat of my truck. 3exp handheld. HDR. I 'll have to go back to this location sometime when i can actually get out and compose a shot and grab some more exposures!!
Vermilion, Ohio.
Providence and Worcester Railroad daylight local NR-4 is headed west on the Willimantic branch for the 23 mile trip to the line's namesake village to interchange with the New England Central Railroad. PW 4005 and 4006 look resplendent in morning light as they lead a half dozen cars across the bridge over Mill Brook beside the earthen dam which holds back Packers Pond at right. The pair of GE B40-8Ws were originally blt. Feb. and Mar. 1992 as Santa Fe 561 and 562 respectively and were acquired in 2010 along with sister 4007 which has since been repainted in Genesee and Wyoming orange.

Took advantage of the free OHSU tram rides during TriMet's Catch the Orange Grand Opening Celebration in September to have some fun with the Lensbaby circular fisheye from inside the tram capsule. NB39045
