'Le fait est que tu sais ce que je cherche
Collo spalle mento
Font de moi le love-héros
D'une histoire d'O'
Il petto mi sorride perverso
Salut, ma blonde, et sans rancune,
Un pour toi,
Un pour moi
Uno a tutti e due'
Taken on my walk home yesterday. Today it’s snowing, but now that I’m home after shopping, I’ll be staying in for the rest of the day.
Just another wider take on this picture perfect scene.
After grabbing the Valley Railroad steam shot I headed down here to check another box. I'd been wanting to get a nice sunny well lit shot of Amtrak ACS64 662 in it's special 'Phase III' wrap sponsored by the Train Sim World 2 game. Thanks to a tip from a friend I knew it was leading Washington bound regional train 135. Here they are right on time wheeling west around the curve on Main 1 into BROOK interlocking at MP 103.6 on Amtrak's New Haven Line main.

In the mid-90s, the professional wrestling stable known as the New World Order was the hottest thing in pop culture at the time. The nWo, as it was known, had a saying, "When you're nWo, you're nWo 4-LIFE!" 25 years later, Amtrak has apparently taken a page out of the nWo's playbook. When Amtrak's heritage unit 184, painted in the "Phase IV" livery in 2011 in celebration of the railroad's 40th anniversary, was painted back to standard "Phase V" in early 2023, everyone thought "Phase IV" was officially done. Then, unexpectedly and from seemingly out of nowhere, in early May 2023, Amtrak released 164 as the new Phase IV heritage unit (albeit missing the 40th Anniversary niceties.) The first anyone seemingly ever knew of this unit was when it suddenly showed up in Chicago Union Station. Two days later it was leading it's maiden voyage on Train #5, the westbound California Zephyr. Here it can be seen passing through Somonauk, IL, on the return portion of this maiden voyage on the point of the Zephyr's eastbound counterpart, Train #6. In tow behind trailing locomotive 54 is a special treat, two brand new Siemens ALC-42 Chargers, 330 & 331, in Amtrak's newest "Phase 7" livery. So it would seem that, like the New World Order, when Amtrak is Phase IV, it is Phase IV-LIFE!.
#6, the eastbound California Zephyr, splits a pair of DRGW-era intermediates near Cisco, Utah behind a P42DC in Phase 7 livery leading.

'It was way past midnight
And she still couldn't fall asleep
This night the dream was leavin'
She tried so hard to keep
And with the new day's dawning
She felt it driftin' away
Not only for a cruise
Not only for a day'
As I sit here writing this in the final hour of 2020, reflecting back upon the year that was, I cannot help but think of something that someone said on one of the myriad podcasts I listen to. If for nothing else, 2020 has provided us all with the one thing we could never get enough of: Time. And what we have chosen to do with the time that has been given us has been one of the most important decisions of the year. For me, in between many other projects, I have finally began the long process of organizing and sorting my old photos. Here is one of them. Amtrak Phase 3 Heritage Unit 145 leads westbound train #380, the Illinois Zephyr, around the bend at Main Street in downtown Sandwich, IL on an early September evening in 2014.
For a short time, Amtrak’s California Zephyr saw 161 on rotation. This was Amtrak’s Phase I heritage unit and replaced the previous Phase I, 156, after it hit a truck and got severely damaged. Just like 156, 161 also has been retired as a few weeks ago it caught fire in Washington D.C. and was burnt to a crisp.
Vapor, liquid, solid, they're all here. Another view of the Jökulsá á Fjöllum river pouring over basalt cliffs, here at Selfoss, a large u-shaped fall with numerous separate cascades. The spray from the rivulet in the foreground has deposited water on moss, and formed the icicles in the foreground. (#2)
This is a composite. But the Milky Way in the picture is approximately in the position that the actual MW was at that time of night.
I took a shot of the scene during blue hour for the landscape,
then took about ten shots for the stars and processed them in Starry Landscape Stacker, then another 9 shots for the lightpainting of the caboose. All with the camera staying put on the tripod.
Unfortunately the MW did not show up properly in the shot due to the moon being quite bright already and the sun still contributing light to the sky during nautical twilight. So I took an image of the MW that I took about 4 years ago in early June and used it as a stand in.
I'm hoping to take the same shot again during the next new moon phase and just a little later in the evening.
I'll accept if you call this picture a "fake".
Today Amtrak unveiled a new phase III wrap on ACS-64 #662 sponsored by the Train Simulator video game. It's maiden voyage was on train 176 this afternoon and I happened to be in New Haven so I figured I'd grab a shot. Here we see the train doing station work before the last leg of the trip to Boston. As of now the engine should be leading 93 in the morning so happy hunting for those interested.
Ice and snow slowly transition to liquid water in a small, shallow tarn high above the Innvikfjorden and the town of Loen, Norway.
The climb up a different fjord on the previous day was significant enough that some in our party balked at repeating the effort so soon on its heels, so on this day we elected to plonk down our kroners and enjoy an effortless ride to the top of the Innvikfjorden via the Loen Skylift. The Skylift is a large gondola supported by only two towers, one at the beginning and one at the end. On the ride up, the angle of the lines is such that one is essentially hauled straight up a good portion of the cliff, providing quite a sensation of the heights. The top of the Skylift has a restaurant with an extraordinary view, and a ledge frequented by people wearing squirrel wingsuits to launch into the void, for what must be the mother of all adrenaline rushes. We witnessed several people preparing to make the leap, and I cannot say I was inspired to attempt such foolishness myself.
Seeking adventures on a somewhat less exciting scale, I had it in mind to walk up one of the peaks that is several kilometers from the top of the Skylift. Not long after setting off, we encountered more or less continuous snow cover, and it was clear that the route to the peak I wanted to ascend was steep and snowy enough that it would be dangerous without axe and crampons. Lacking such helpful instruments, I noticed a rock band that looked possible to climb up and around the steepest of the snow, but my wife put her foot down firmly and informed me she was not at all interested in such things, but that I was welcome to head up myself if I wanted. My two boys also demurred. Feeling that common sense might be percolating through the rest of my family, I gave up the idea and we set our sights on a somewhat closer, and reasonably safer overlook in a different direction. Along the way I discovered this small tarn, and I was captivated by the abrupt phase transition from solid to liquid that divides the frame.
....Evening sun behind the trees. These wildflowers were next to the creek. Not going to try to i.d. them. I have noticed my last few postings are bland in color. Winter blues. lol

Amtrak’s new fleet wide paint scheme, known as Phase VII, is taking the railroad over by storm. While the scheme has yet to debut on passenger cars, locomotives have been rolling out of the shop left and right wearing the eye catching new paint. Here it is on the mighty Genesis locomotive leading the southbound Silver Star through Boca Raton, FL

A nice treat this morning was to find Amtrak's Phase 4 heritage unit, AMTK 164, leading the westbound Zephyr as the train crosses East Portal Road between Tolland and East Portal. Fall colors are about as good as they are going to get, offering a spectacular ride for passengers.

Amtrak's newest heritage unit leads the westbound California Zephyr over Donner Pass. Maintenance along the pass and heavy traffic slowed the train down a little bit for a good chunk of the trip but not long later the train would halt for two hours near Midas. By the time the train got to Roseville it would be several hours late.
