Today´s Soundtrack: Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train
All aboard, hahahahahahaha!
Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I've listened to preachers
I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned
To rule and control
The media sells it
And you live the role
Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words, yeah!
Heirs of a cold war
That's what we've become
Inheriting troubles
I'm mentally numb
Crazy, I just can not bear
I'm living with something
That just isn't fair
Mental wounds not healing
Who and what's to blame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

Industriemuseum Zeche Zollern, Dortmund, Germany.
Today industrial museum. Former coal mine Zollern, Dortmund, Germany.
When I checked on Wanda yesterday afternoon there were two :-) Wanda and her mate were pellet searching in the flood water
Out looking for " paths & tracks " for next weeks SSC , found this one but of course not suitable as we have to look for unmade ways . Anyway , still took this scene as I liked it so it gets a post now - just got to sift through the other shots to find next week's SSC shot now !!
A pair of SD40Ns lead LTZ56 across the 183ft high bridge over the Des Moines river. This former CGW structure is quite impressive, and luckily still sees a few trains a day, albeit mostly at night.
Photocharter hosted by Italia on Rails to salute ligurian coastal line, to be closed on next 1st November - S.Lorenzo coast
Saw this sunrise as I finished my late dog walk this morning, so I pushed the dogs into the front porch, grabbed a camera and headed off to take the only open view close to home, the metro line! Well I’ve taken this shot before and it has compositional elements I like. Leading lines, shiny surfaces to reflect the light and a hint of danger, my sort of photography. Oh yes when I got home again Toby and Oscar were still waiting in the porch still wearing their winter coats, collar and lead, poor things.
Ice on the ponds has forced the rails to seek out unfrozen areas to feed providing excellent viewing opportunities.
This juvenile Sora seems to be the least shy of the many rails present.
The rails caught all the light ... just for a minute or so. First shot of the session, imperfect, but love it. And I have a sweet spot for the old, crooked telegraph poles.
During the past couple of weeks, there have been many transports of long rails from Chorzów (Kościuszko steelworks/rolling mill) to Somonino and Gdańsk Osowa on the old coal mainline. I have never had the time to catch one of them in action, until one recent evening
S200-273 in the Soviet-style livery and SM42-2108 were tasked with hauling the TMS 454029 from Chorzów Stary to Gdańsk Osowa. With S273 breaking down constantly on the way, it was the SM42 that did all the heavy lifting. Despite this, the train had arrived in Gdańsk Osowa without difficulties, even with heavy passenger traffic in the rush hours.
The train coming in to Gdańsk Osowa way after sunset was a great opportunity to test a new lens, which I borrowed from Jarek for the time being. Here the first picture I took with it shows the train at arrival in Gdańsk Osowa, with S273 already being half-dead.
