P086 rounds the curve at L'Enfant Plaza in Washington DC, led by the second incarnation of Amtrak's Phase II heritage unit.
Bk after four years.
'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.

The Köhlbrand is an arm of the river Elbe which is leading part of the large sea port of Hamburg.
It is the second largest port in Europe and one of the main hubs on the European main land.
The Köhlbrandbrücke on the left is the second longest bridge in Germany. It connects the container terminals of the sea port with the A7 express way.
Amtrak Phase I heritage unit 156 leads the eastbound Southwest Chief, Train #4, into Chicago, seen here passing through Bristol on the BNSF Mendota Sub with the last bits of fall color the background. While the trees would keep their leaves well into November here, most of the color was gone by Halloween.
#6, the eastbound California Zephyr, splits a pair of DRGW-era intermediates near Cisco, Utah behind a P42DC in Phase 7 livery leading.
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.
'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.
It's a phase I'm going through.

Per the previous shot then created two flipped versions and merged them.
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)
Amtrak 89 heads south with one of the Phase 6 Chargers for power. I preferred this livery on these things over the Phase 7 that eventually stuck. It's a shame there weren't more of them in this scheme.
Seven is a lucky number after all.
A bad luck Friday had Amtrak's Southwest Chief running three and a half hours late into it's thirtieth stop at Riverside, California. The train is only three and a half miles away from it's previous stop in San Bernardino and is now on the home stretch for Los Angeles Union Station, granted now the train is having to navigate outside of it's time window running into BNSF's morning Z-train wave as it wiggles through La Cadena. Leading the train was Amtrak 138 a repainted P42DC wearing the newer Phase VII paint scheme which debuted in 2022, but since Siemens Chargers don't frequent this long distance train have kept sightings like this far and few between especially given Amtrak's running hours through this part of the LA Basin and SoCal as a whole.
Amtrak 145, painted in Phase III colors, heads west on the point of the westbound Capital through Gaithersburg, MD.
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.
