Grand Trunk Western coal train #821 out of Toledo heads for Lansing, Michigan, here turning the corner westbound at Durand. The three former boiler GP9's and a pair of GP38's have the sand on and are pulling hard with the heavy train - and yes it sounded wonderful - April 3, 1977.

With the empty coal cars now between the two pairs of Geeps, the northern of the two power sets drags the cars north to clear the switch for the Beech Mountain. The low sunlight highlights the exhaust and the strange LED headlights that the A&O uses on their power.

Even leaves need to stay in shape so when I saw this leaf doing it's daily exercise - a stiff round of 50 pull-ups (very impressive!) - I just had to get a shot.

Happy Bokeh Wednesday!

Pulls Ferry is a former ferry house located on the River Wensum in Norwich, Norfolk. It is a flint building and was once a 15th-century watergate. It was the route for the stone used to build Norwich Cathedral. The stone came from Caen up the rivers Yare and Wensum. A canal, specifically built by the monks, used to run under the arch, where the Normans ferried the stone and building materials to be unloaded on the spot.

The building is named after John Pull, who ran the ferry across the Wensum from 1796 to 1841. It was previously known as Sandling's, after a seventeenth century predecessor. The ferry operated until 1943.

The ferry house adjoining the watergate was built in 1647. Both house and archway were restored in 1948-9 by Cecil Upcher.

CNW #11119 brings up the markers on Job 60B as it heads off towards the northwest side. It will be used as a shoving platform for the three-mile reverse movement down the Cragin Lead.

I hand-dyed this yarn along with some others last August: flic.kr/p/2nEzwCA. After dyeing the skein, I use two tools - an umbrella swift and a ball winder - to wind it into a centre-pull ball. I originally had in mind using it for some yellow highlights in the mainly green marled sweater I'm knitting, and I have used it: flic.kr/p/2o9GnAe.

Macro Monday

HMM

While not the best lighting conditions I was surprised to find the EMD SD70M demos on Tennessee Pass. Earlier on my trip I was able to photograph them in in good

Canadian National train L572 pulls into the NS interchange at Oakwood Yard in Melvindale, MI with two former IC SD70s for power.

Pulled another one out of the hat from my Caddo Lake Bald Forest trip. Taken while cruising around in a kayak.

HMM-- the theme for today, 8/17 is push/pull. found this theme particularly tricky since several of mine were trying to show the push or pull action, which is not easy when simultaneously trying to push the buttons on an iphone ~grin~, so i opted for no action. this may be the best macro of the four and it surprised me to discover that floss was more ribbon-y than thread-y.

One of CSX’s more interesting pullers leads this end of November version of M367 headed for BRC Clearing. I followed him in the mostly overcast skies across Indiana from Walkerton and ended the day here at Pullman.

Pull me by the ankles to the edge of the bed

and take me like you do in your dreams.

I’m not gonna stop you, I’m not gonna stop you this time, baby.

I want you to show me what you mean,

then help me with the crossword in the morning.

You are gonna make me tea,

gonna ask me how did I sleep.

One of Idaho's most obscure railroad operations is the Dry Valley Railroad. The short line connected to UP's Dry Valley Branch in Maybe Canyon, running down a 1.5% grade to Mountain Fuels.

Built in 1984 by Conda Partnerships, the route was initially a six-mile extension of UP's Dry Valley Branch from Maybe Canyon to Champ, with a three mile spur to reach Mountain Fuels phosphate loader. Doug is one of few photographers to catch the operation on film with a pair of leased Alaska Railroad FP7A locomotives.

ARR 1506 and 1508 pull a second cut of loads from the conveyor at Mountain Fuels into Champ, where a 70-car train of phosphate rock will be assembled for the six mile journey up the 1.5% to Maybe Canyon. From there, Union Pacific's Dry Valley Local will marshal them the final 18 miles to Epco, Idaho for processing into fertilizer.

We saw the very worst in human beings this past Friday.

But after watching the news tonight, I thought we also saw the very best.

I was struck by the fellow in the cafe who put himself in front of a woman as a shield. He died, she lived because of him.

Or the man who pulled the pregnant woman who was hanging out the window of the second floor of the theatre. He put himself in potential danger to help a fellow human being.

There may be rough days ahead, but thankfully I think there is enough who rise above to get us through.
