Three EMD SD50-2's and a CSX AC44CW work the north end of McGrew yard shortly after sunrise. In recent times LSRC has been purchasing new units and they have been a mixed bag of patched CSX and NS units and also a few painted units. I will give LSRC credit though as they do patch their units very well.
looking west ward towards Staten Island...
this is as pretty as it gets in Brooklyn ;) so that's why I'm always on a look out for stormy days...
A former Conrail C40-8W and a SD60M led a NS C44-9W on a southbound Canadian National run-through freight back in 2005.
Even though they were patched for new owner Norfolk Southern, the blue beasts were still a nice sight when compared to that monochromatic thing third out.
Waiting at the tram stop and looked up to catch this brief patch of light in Bourke Street. Canon S100.
The Cabbage Patch Babyland Hospital is located in Cleveland, Georgia. It is the home of Cabbage Patch dolls, which were wildly popular some years ago. This shot is of one of the original style dolls. I took it in the showroom. 'Adoptions' of these start at $200. Luckily there are cheaper options there.
Natural light is coming from a window camera right. I used an 580EX bounced off the ceiling for fill.
Come to the Pumpkin Patch at Seminole Heights United Methodist Church down on the corner of Central & Hanna in Seminole Heights. The Patch will be open 12-8 p.m. Sunday through Friday, and 9 a.m. – 8 p.m. Saturdays until Halloween.
The valley sides were lit up with strong patches of sunlight this morning as was the grasses at the roadside.
A patched SP AC44 looks rather forlorn as it leads an eastbound around the big curve just west of La Coste, TX. May 2009.
This photo features the Crimson-patched Longwing (Heliconius erato), taken at the Emerald Valley Nature Center, Lake Yojoa, Honduras. Capturing the vivid red patches against the delicate black wings of this butterfly was a thrilling challenge. The setting provided a lush green background, making the butterfly’s colors pop. I used a slow shutter speed of 1/60 second to capture the fluttering movement of the butterfly, combined with an aperture of f/11 and ISO 800 to ensure a deep depth of field and crisp details. The Canon R5, paired with the RF 100-400mm lens and a 1.4x extender, allowed for an effective focal length of 560mm, essential for this close-up.
From a photographer's perspective, this image highlights the delicate balance between technical settings and the subject's natural beauty. The butterfly, in its later stages of life with parts of its wings worn, tells a story of survival and grace. Emerald Valley is a prime location for butterfly photography, thanks to the conservation efforts led by Robert Gallardo. His dedication to preserving these species is evident in the thriving butterfly population at the nature center.

CSX Q410 rolls past ongoing Metro construction in Franconia back in 1994. The former RF&P mainline was firmly under CSX control and patched GP40 6858 is unfortunate photographic evidence of that fact.
It's even worse now considering that in 1999 Conrail also went away. We can never have nice things.
Rock Island 4509 was "patched" as CNW 4160 for the CNW Days at the Illinois Railway Museum and was in charge of the mixed train at Johnson Siding.
RI 4509 was sold to the CNW and renumbered 4160 after the RI shutdown. The engine came to the museum as CNW 4160, brought back to life, and repainted in the blue Rock Island scheme.

Whole lotta patching going on between these two freight cars. The former NYC car made it through Penn Central without being repainted but is now patched into CR. While the former PRR boxcar on the left got patched PC.
Both are looking quite run down after likely millions of miles on them hauling various commodities across the US.

The Raritan Valley Line has been dominated by consists of ALP-45DPs and multilevel cars for the past several years. Due to ongoing PTC implementation issues, NJ Transit has adjusted schedules and consists on various lines. One result is this "retro" RVL consist which includes single-level Comet coaches powered by a lone, patched-up GP40PH-2B 4219. This consist would have been common here through the mid-2000s.
We've had a nice stretch of weather the last couple of days. Went for a walk on the beach with the intention of hunting seals. Shot a few the way they should be shot. :-) They're very cute blubber balls!
Risked life and lens for these shots. Walking on rocks covered with thick layers of seaweed is NOT easy. :-)
