I&M Rail Link SD40 203, built in 1966 for the Pennsylvania Railroad as their 6069, was leading SD45 382, a former Seaboard Coast Line motor, on train 264 on the Elgin Subdivision at B12 Interlocking in Franklin Park in 1998.
The patched 203 was still wearing Conrail colors and was passed on to the ICE when they took over in 2002.
It has since been scrapped.
This is the Teasel Patch I used to capture all the macros in. It was a good sized patch with many plants easily over 6 foot tall. Lucky for me there were some closer to the ground that still had some flowers on them.
iPhone 4 to capture and iPad 3 to edit.
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.

I was visiting Mirror Lake, in the High Uinta Mountains in Utah on an overcast day, when a patch of blue suddenly opened up.
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.
After 20 years of collecting patches (and taking photos) in spectacular places all over North America, from White Horse to Miami, the total has reached 120.
They're on display in our RV.
Bordered patch butterfly on Brazilian verbena flower. Shot with Agfa Solinar 1:4.5 105mm mounted on Nikon bellows. Bellows connected to Sony A7 body with Nikon adapter.
Wearing patches over its DMIR paint, EJ&E SD-M #804 sits at Kirk awaiting its next job. Built as DMIR SD9 #169 in April 1959, this unit now works for IBCX.
A heavy fog descended on us this morning creating an interesting solid bluish backdrop to everything at first morning light. That "blue wall" is normally a free view over the sea to another shoreline 4 km away so it is very unusual to see it like this and I don't expect it to happen in the exact same way again. This lamppost with its yellow lights pointed at the green lawn below made for a weird and unusual combination of colours. I wasn't able to find a way to overcome the ugly circular artefacts introduced by the flickr algorithms but luckily they do not show up in the print.

Eventually moving to other trials tasks, all bar XW988 were repainted in this MoD(PE) Raspberry Ripple red/white & blue
On retirement all three went to 'Thunder City' in South Africa.

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.

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.
In early May 2011, a US 30 roadtrip across Nebraska on a beautiful spring day brought me and a friend to the pedestrian bridge across the UP's triple track Kearney Sub at Lexington. You don't have to wait long to see a train. First up was an eastbound coal load with a patched SP unit on the rear. In the distance, the headlight of a westbound is already in sight.
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.
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.
