While talking of you darling,
I'd show your photograph.
And point it over westwards,
Way over past the tracks.
VIEW THIS ON BLACK.
This past Saturday, Megan (shown above), Rob and I went back out to Phoenix to do a photoshoot! Out of four-hundred-something photographs, I instantly fell in love with this one. I have a few more that I'll be putting up, but I just wanted to get a head start and show a little preview :)
The intermediates at milepost 85 are the last set of signals trains will see on Union Pacific's Harvard Sub before entering South Janesville "yard" (the east end of the yard can be seen in the distance). Janesville marks the end of the trip for most Union Pacific trains. However, the occasional grain train does venture a little further up the old main before terminating at Evansville. Beyond that, the UP is pretty much done and the rest of their track is a tree choked mess. If you could keep going, you would end up at milepost 137.4, better known as Tower MX, the location of the previous photo.
It wasn't always this way though of course. The UP Harvard Sub was thee Chicago-Twin Cities mainline putting the North Western in Chicago and North Western. This status would not last forever though. Traffic levels have seen a slow decline for decades.
Against these odds, a lot of the "North Western" still exists. However, the mainline days are clearly over. The tree choked UP track ends at around Brooklyn where the WSOR Reedsburg Sub picks up. From Brooklyn to Oregon, there's more grass than ballast, but storage moves still roam these rails on occasion. Further northwest still, at Oregon, the tracks actually see regular moves all the way to Reedsburg. It's at this point, where the final miles of "North Western" to the CMO connection at Elroy is lopped off.
The truncated section is now a bike path called "The '400' State Trail". This name has to be the ultimate irony; the trail is named after the train that got its name from the Adams Cutoff, whose completion eventually led to the demise of this part of the "North Western". Someone must be rolling in their grave...
This was not a staged shot. It was purely a coincidence that two players had these balls, and on one hole they ended up in the cup one right after another.
I was shocked to find First Midland Red 67640 VX54MRU Alexander Dennis Enviro300 making a rather unexpectedly rare visit to Kidderminster it is seen on layover at Kidderminster bus station before operating a X19 service to Worcester Warriors Rugby Club a bus service which I didn’t know ever existed for a game against Rotherham Titans v Worcester Warriors. This Enviro300 is based at Firsts Worcester depot and was originally new to First Midland Red in 2005 at their former Redditch depot.

Putting together a stranger shot, as already said by other people, is not just pressing a camera trigger: you need to find a good location with proper lighting, choose a good model, use the right camera settings, interact with the model and then there's the presentation work. Today, rather than walking around looking for a good location, was all about finding some good model: I still find extremely difficult to spot and stop adults, but I will hopefully manage to do that one day.
Stefania was walking with her friend (forgot her name, I'm so sorry about it!) and I stopped them explaining the project: they seemed to be interested in this but a bit shocked by this encounter. I showed them some of my previous shots and Stefania agreed to be my next stranger. After taking a couple of shots of the two girlfriends, I showed Stefania where to stand and fired off some shots.
Stefania seemed to enjoy this and I took the time to explain her how to use the QR code on my cards; some more shooting and that was it.
Thank you Stefania for becoming my stranger #20.
Please get in touch if you want me to send you the other images

Well, I've been waiting for a picture to put up celebrating the New Year. Was hoping to put up something from 2011 as my first upload, but can't get anything very good. I've been thinking of putting this one up for quite sometime, and caved like, 2 minutes ago. It's from 2010 but just wanted to say thanks everyone. It's been fantastic on here, and i cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate all the compliments. As you know, I've been getting into non-auto work, and those of you who respect that, I really have to thank you. To be honest, I have to thank everyone haha. I've got quite a bit planned for this year, and yes, it should be good.....
If all goes well (school wise), I'll be up in Carmel this August for car week. It's been a dream since about 2007 to go up during the Concourse, and now I may get to. Hope to see some of you California guys over the Summer. It would be sick if I can make it, and it's looking quite good now.
May also make it to London this Summer. Hope to see some of you London guys over the Summer too haha :) London just seems like Heaven in the Summer, and I'm hoping that goes nicely too.
I hit 100K in 2010, and now aimed for 150.200K this year. Gonna try and get there, and good luck to everyone. Hope your New year is amazing and keep it up, you've got some amazing stuff being put out guys.
Forgot to mention, my father is also looking at new car (Not too new if you know what I mean haha) and should be getting one this year in Spring or Summer. Right now it's Porsches, but an M5 and maybe Aston Martin as well. I'm pretty pumped for that ;)
Putting on a fairly impressive show as it ascends the KCT High Line on Track 75 at Penn Ave. just after departing Kansas City's Union Station, operating as UP train PKCDV-17 to Salina, KS on today's leg of the trip.
This is part of the "Heartland of America Tour" through 10 states spanning an 8 week period, departing Cheyenne, WY in late August and arriving home in late October. 10/17/24.
my goodness as we were leaving Grandbury we saw this AMAZING field of flags being put on display to benefit needy Veterans. Yes I am APPALLED that it is necessary to do this, our Veterans are treated so badly, I am grateful that there are people who care enough to do this. Kay and I both expressed our gratitude and made donations. Oh I almost forgot to mention it was raining and they were still putting the flags out.
--- on a relaxing evening...
hi all... thanks for your visits and comments... I would like to say that this photo was taken yesterday on August 10, 2010... I have the incorrect date settings on my camera... I will try and fix it before the day is out... ;-)
Ah crap .... and in 5 inch heels ...... an out take ....
First I stepped on the hem of my dress while getting up ....
The putting on my sunglasses I could feel a large crack in the frame.....
Then I had to walk up to the camera to turn it off ....
I was less than amused as you can tell by my face ......
