The Pause; that impressive silence, that eloquent silence, that geometrically progressive silence which often achieves a desired effect where no combination of words, however so felicitous, could accomplish it

When I reached Hysham this manifest was paused there. I started scouting for a shot west of there and they resumed their westbound trip as well. They're getting back up to speed on the flat valley floor and by means of a few sweeping curves the Forsyth Sub prepares to squeeze between the river and the south bluffs again just behind me.
Dash 9s like the 5010 are approaching 20 years in mainline service. I struggle to think of them as old but some have left the roster already. I sure saw plenty of them on this trip. I look forward to the day when they're rare and I can look back on scenes like this with nostalgia. Of course that will have to wait, for now just part of the orange hordes. September 7, 2023.

Locomotive History
The success of the Deltic prototype in the 1950s brought an order for a fleet of twenty two Deltics to replace steam on the East Coast Main Line. Due to their much higher availability, the twenty two production-series Deltics performed the duties previously allocated to fifty five pacific-type steam locomotives. Originally D9002 it was delivered on the 9th March 1961 to Doncaster Works and was accepted into BR service, allocated to Gateshead MPD. The early days of these locomotives were marred by mechanical unreliability which was solved by rigorous retraining of the maintenance teams at BR's Doncaster Works. These engines were able to travel at up to 100mph and their excellent reputation was only tarnished by the high cost of power unit replacement. The class 55's were progressively replaced by HST’s between 1980 and 1982 and after nearly twenty years front line service 55002 worked its final duties on the 30th December 1981 when as a test run in preparation for the farewell railtour it worked 1M53 07:49 York - Liverpool and 1E98 12:05 Liverpool - York (final Deltic to leave Liverpool). However it arrived back at York on one engine as power unit No. 1 was throwing oil and was declared un-fit work the final tour (55015 substituted). Formally withdrawn on the 2nd January 1982 and presented to the National Railway Museum.

Quick pause -- grab camera moment -- near the end of my house move. Now comes the emptying of boxes. Much more fun. But is there enough space? Should know by Christmas.
One of those days where I just want to press Pause :(
