Class 800 bi-mode multiple unit No. 800310 has just passed Thingley Junction in Wiltshire and is now heading west with 1C17, the 14:02 London Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads service on Saturday 15th April 2023.
In the distance, centre, it should just be possible to make out the OLE masts that indicate the current limit of GWML electrification on this line.
I think I might be breaking some rule here having the image horizontally bisected by the horizon, but if so, too bad I say :-)

From our cruise along the Norwegian coast line with Hurtigsruten's "Trollfjord" in April 2022. The journey started in Bergen on April 10th and ended/turned in Kirkenes and back to Bergen again. Some people choose to do the roundtrip like I did and some to get off the ship in Kirkenes and fly or drive back to the south. You can bring your car on the Hurtigruten. Some people choose to do the sothbound trip back to Bergen only. Hurtigruten is not only for tourists that want to see Norway! It's also for the locals to go port to port that don't have any other options to travel than these ships with daily departures both ways. The Hurtigruten can be a ferry for some locals and an adventure cruise for others with 34 ports to visit. Some ports they will stay for only 10-15 minutes to pick up cargo and passengers and some ports they stay in for 2-4 hours so every you can explore the towns a little more. They also offer land excursions where you jump on one of their buses and you'll be back on the ship later the same day in another port. The options to cruise with Hurtigruten are many, but it was a fantastic cruise and a great way to see my own country.
U741 with CN 5741 and 5779 have just pulled through the pocket at the Empire load out and now run around their train to start loading the first half of their train. The Empire pellet processing plant is in the background. With the current plan of shutting the plant down in the next couple months shots like this will be a thing of the past. CNW C628's, SD40-2's, SD60's, GE's, A brief period of UP power, WC power and now CN power have all passed this same point and it looks like it'll end with the CN.

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.
It is raining outside and a great time to catch up on my reading. 📖 📕 👓 😉

Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments.
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.
