After our snowfall the sun came out and melting began. I loved the shape of this reverse icicle that had been building up from drops off a bush. (c) 2013
Bear with me, this is quite the story,
When I had received word that Amtrak Midwest's new venture cars were making their wolverine debut on Tuesday, May 24th, 2022, I wanted to make sure to get a good shot of them. Unfortunately, the train they first came in on, Amtrak 350, arrives at Pontiac before school is over, and it was finals week for seniors, so I had to miss that. However, Amtrak 355 is 350's counterpart (when it comes to the consist). What I didn't know was that 350 got into Pontiac late due to various reasons (from what I've heard, there were problems with the cars...uh oh...). However it still wasn't late enough to for me make it from school, so I gave my broski Sonny (who's a photographer) a call asking if he wanted to go see it on 355.
We met up at a pretty cool place, Charing Cross, and we waited, and waited, and waited. About 30-40 minutes after it was supposed to pass, the headlight finally became visible where we were standing (the abandoned platform at the old SEMTA/GTW station). However, it took nearly 15 minutes for the train to get there. As it got closer, I noticed that the marker lights were lit on the lead engine, and also it was going VERY SLOW (15 miles per hour when they normally go 60 miles per hour through there), which at that moment I put two and two together and realized this was a reverse move.
The conductor on the train was running it from the headend (he gave us some horn taps and a wave). The actual engineer was on the rear gave us a light show...? I dunno, still pretty cool though!
From the back side, looking back at the trail (must have had the polarizer on for this one.)
A new (to us) arch, found on the Frying Pan Trail in Capitol Reef.
Only reference I can find on the web is in the NABS, there unnamed except for "NABS Arch 3".
An unusual sight of a Class 91 leading south end first on the ECML, rather then the DVT leading, was seen on the 22nd of May 2020. The reason why??
Here LNER Class 91/1 No.91119 wearing its Intercity swallow, is seen between Potters Bar & Brookmans Park, in charge of the 12:00 1E14 service from Edinburgh Waverley to London’s Kings Cross.

Etihad A380 has just been towed from the International Terminal at Sydney Airport and is seen being pushed back out of the way on a very hot Sydney morning.

Or she could be just arriving, but I'm going to go with the former. Some grannies and grandads are on their way for a holiday in Minehead, by the look of it, at the old Marlborough Street bus station in Bristol. This is a Bristol LH6L with bodywork by Marshall in the fleet of Royal Blue, which was the coach service "brand" inherited by the Western National Omnibus Co Ltd. I regret not taking more photos of the part of the bus station we can't see here, i.e. the bays, newspaper stall and so on that lay behind the camera, but who knows what else will turn up as I work through my old slides? Saturday 28th May 1977.
After switching in Armstrong, the OK freight is backtracking towards Larkin where the balance of train is waiting. The spur in the foreground leads to the Tolko mill.
42107 looking resplendent in reverse tuscan livery leads 9L03 empty cars from Chullora to Sydney Terminal before departing with Sydney Rail Service’s Picnic Train to Moss Vale.
At Enfield 42107 would be replaced with R766 and 5917 for the run south.
Visible in the background is K98 filling in for an unavailable S set for Historic Electric Tractions’ Charter train.

Reverse Dive Pike
This Adobe Photoshop Creation took me a couple of hours on the computer to create. I wanted something that could show the whole dive in one frame. Its a very graceful sport and I really wanted to capture it. Luckily I had an awesome athlete to photograph.
It is only just becoming light as the first train of the day has arrived at the reversing point at Mifenyang on the Shibanxi Coal Railway. The locomotive has brought the train up the hill tender first and will now complete the journey to Bagou with smokebox forward.
When reporters appears in a faraway Senegalese village, everybody wants to have a look at the recording

And to warp up (since this is the only other good photo I got!), another view of the canopy, looking north this time. I'm really hoping the building itself was scheduled to receive some updates as well, and hope to be back by here soon for possible updates...
