Pannier 9681 passing the high level platform at Norchard on the Dean Forest Railway with a short train of ballast hoppers.
A southbound CN freight passes through Rantoul, Illinois, on the Chicago Subdivision. This used to be the mainline of the Illinois Central Railroad.
Virga - rain and hail from a dark cloud that doesn't make it to ground level - passing by the other side of Loch Rannoch.
Looks like nature apart from just that little hint of mankind's involvement in the form of a hydro power station up the hill.
Another shot from a recent wander up on Alnwick Moor. Just love exploring these places that I've driven past so many times and thought, I wonder what's over there!? :0)

St Bees station serves as a passing place on a single line section between Sellafield and Whitehaven.
After collecting the token for the single line section to Sellafield, 47202 heads an MGR - bound for Fiddlers Ferry - through St Bees on a beautiful early summer evening in May 1982. A northbound Derby class 108 waits for the coal train to pass through before continuing its journey on the Single line to Corkickle.
At this time no token was required for trains towards Corkickle as an acceptance/direction system was in place.
Thanks to CJ Rich for identifying the 47.

Stagecoach ADL Enviro200 37125, YY14WFR, although carrying branding for Carlisle, is seen here a long way away from its home city.
It was running on the temporary 555 shuttle service, between Grasmere and Keswick. This service was necessary due to the collapse of the A591 road on the eastern side of Lake Thirlmere during Storm Desmond. The service was therefore diverted around the western side of Thirlmere, but the route was unsuitable for the double deckers used on the 555. The shuttle service therefore ran with two Enviro200s which connected at Grasmere with regular 555 journeys to/from Windermere, Kendal and Lancaster.
In order to avoid a meeting situation on the narrow road, whichever pair of buses arrived first at this passing point had to wait for the other pair to arrive before continuing. Luckily we got there first, allowing time for photos!
Alternating weather - the remnants of a blast of sunlight offset against a passing hailstorm. Quite glad not to have been under that.
A CSX rail train waits at the Columbia Amtrak Station as NS 28T carries a load of BMWs through town.
Distant (snow-capped) mountains and dramatic light through passing clouds. Taken above Gallin, just along from Meggernie Castle in the middle of Glen Lyon.
The trees are native Scots Pine trees, a small remnant of the Caledonian Forest left after Robert Campbell (1630-1696) sold much of the forest to pay off his debts, the idiot.
The post processing only included cropping, color enhancement, and sharpening.
You can if you want to, but I suggest that you don't even bother trying to guess what this photo is of. Just enjoy it in lightbox or in large format on a black background for the colors, shapes, and whatever else you see.
You might even enjoy this photo while listening to the lush and shimmering instrumental track, What We All Come To Need by Pelican.
A very short CP 253 from Binghamton, NY has two SD40-2's as power (CP 6066 & CP 6018) as it heads through Montreal West towards nearby St-Luc Yard.
First Manchester Vantage-liveried 39252 (BW65 DCF) and 39246 (BL65 YZJ) meet on Princess Street in Manchester, 16/04/2018.
F0 which pulled up many big tries in the neighborhood. I could see shingles and tree debris but unfortunately the camera did not pick it up. Yes it did sound like a mighty train.
When I was in Paris last August, I took this photo while on my way back to Louvre. Since there were a lot of motorcycles and scooters on the roads in Paris and Barcelona, I really enjoyed taking panning shots while walking down the streets ~ something I rarely do in my hometown.

Superbly turned out Chomutov 749, No. 749 039-4 passing Perstejn on train R441, the 06.43 Cheb - Zilina. 21 May 2004.
Not far from where this image was taken in Daylesford, Victoria is a vineyard and winery called Passing Clouds, so named because plenty of rain clouds pass overhead with the result of very little rain. True to form, this storm passed by with barely a drop reaching the ground.

Reading on a cold, dark afternoon, 9 December 2000, hosted 47829 (left) with 1O38, 09:10 Edinburgh-Bournemouth, passing 47851 with 1M50, 14:18 Brighton-Manchester, whose driver was chatting with one of the station’s shunters prior to getting the ‘right away’. 47829, which later received ‘Police’ livery, was scrapped in 2013 while 47851 survives (2025) as part of the WCRC fleet. The only scheduled loco-hauled passenger trains to be seen here now are GWR’s Class 57-hauled ‘Night Riviera’ sleeper services. The station itself has been extensively rebuilt and is barely recognisable from this image today.
Another trip to Old Town Alexandria, Virginia on a street candid mission to continue my in-camera contrast adjustments. I just hate post processing.
MOB Class ABDe 8/8 unit 4001 had reach Planchamp on the climb from Montreux with the 16:44 Regio service R 2232 to Zweisimmen.
