Rails on the ground at maintenance site in Beaumont, MS. My first use of Fuji Velvia. Did not realize what I had and the roll was a waste. The color is amazing.
Rails. Yep, they are real.
All defects/effects are getting closer to each other when long telephoto lens are used. Compressed perspectives can be quite amazing.

tram rails and bikes don't go good together, you must make sure not to get your wheel in one of them!
It looks as though I was trespassing here, but actually I was totally legal and pointing my camera through the fence. I see on Google Maps that this spot is now completely inaccessible behind 8ft "palisade" fencing. This was one of those click-wind, click-wind, click-wind moments that the 35mm SLR camera, with lever advance, encourages. Unfortunately I was so preoccupied with getting my four shots as the train passed that I forgot to look up for a glimpse of the nameplate; accordingly the identity of the locomotive must remain forever unknown. The train, seen on Friday 22nd November 1974 at Winterbourne, north of Bristol, was the 11:15 Paddington-Cardiff. Of the four shots I took, this one ...the first... is the one I like best. Hopelessly in love with the Colin T Gifford look. I can't quite be sure from the photo whether this is Continuous Welded Rail but, by this date, I'm sure it was. With the stop at Bristol Parkway up ahead, the locomotive was probably coasting, but in imagination I hear the zing and twitter of the train's approach, transmitted through the rails.

Hooked up the "nifty fifty" today to do some portrait work with my kids whilst out at the beach. Just playing with the lens at f1.8 and 2.8 as I like the rich depth of field and focus with this lens
Looking back towards the village from the point at Dark Corner I couldn't help thinking of an ancient train line, running on rails right into the bay.
After a busy few weeks at work it was so nice to get out and enjoy the sunset in such peaceful surrounds, just a few seagulls for company.
Have a great weekend!

A loaded westbound rail train makes its way west through Barbara's Gulch. A handful of maintenance workers sit atop the midpoint of the rail train as it rolls west. These rails will be laid alongside the existing track in the Rocky-to-Plain area. UP is still investing in the Moffat!

The Virginia Rail (Rallus limicola) is a unique bird, very secretive and highly adapted to its habitat. What is its habitat? Marshes. In fact, its forehead feathers have evolved as durable and helmet-like, allowing it to push its way through dense reeds. All that pushing takes work, and rails have the highest leg muscle to flight muscle ratio of any bird. I'd need strong leg muscles, too, if my toes were as long as railroad spikes!
