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.

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!
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.

White backgrounds don't work for me >.>
I had to use GIMP. Somewhat inspired by z the lego man's MOC.
From the movie SAW.
The only sculpting on this model was the padlock. It consists of: a helmet, 2 oxygen tubes, a stud, a Hoth visor, and one of those little clear zippy things.
The jaw actually goes up :D
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.

Reverse Falls in St. John. When the bay of Fundy tide rolls in it so powerful that it actually reverses the river in the opposite direction. Personally I think the paper mill takes from the beauty of the area but it is what it is.
CSXT 1712 makes another appearance on Pan Am’s network, this time with better conditions.
Here’s another post glossing CSXT 1712, one of CSX Transportation’s SD40E3 ‘Eco Units.’ 1712 took another spin around New England, trudging through Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine for the second week in succession. On this cold Saturday, time was on the side of many young railfans who swamped North Central Massachusetts for a glimpse of the Eco’s second go at handling M427.
Following a less-than-ideal shot at CPF-309, it was in the best interest to take advantage of one of Ayer’s unique structures for a frame. West Main Street Bridge (MA A19003) suspends a brief portion of the 98.5-mile-long Massachusetts Route 2A across MBTA’s Fitchburg Line and has been doing so since its construction in 1949. Roughly 16,500 vehicles traverse the 115ft deck daily while remaining uninterrupted by Ayer’s rail traffic. Sometime between 1990 and the early 21st century, the bridge was painted from an oxidized-looking green into a red-bronze.
Today, MA A19003 serves as one of many staples in Ayer’s historic collection of buildings and structures. Thousands of rail photos have integrated the bridge as a backdrop, as Ayer’s MBTA Commuter Rail Station lies nearby giving easy access for a frame. I highly recommend exploring this ‘iconic’ mid-20th century structure, and one of my all-time favorite bridges in Massachusetts.

6th Reverse on the Aliwal North to Barkly East branch. Class 24 no 3688 on 24 July 1998 as she starts the climb to Motkop.

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.
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...

The Reversing Falls are a series of rapids on the Saint John River located in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, where the river runs through a narrow gorge before emptying into the Bay of Fundy.
The semidiurnal tides of the bay force the flow of water to reverse against the prevailing current at this location when the tide is high, although in the spring freshet, this is frequently surpassed by the downstream volume of water. The rapids, or "falls", are created by a series of underwater ledges which roil the water in either direction, causing a significant navigation hazard, despite the depth of water. As a result, vessels wishing to enter or exit from the river must wait for slack tide.
The Reversing Falls has also been an important industrial site for over a century. The Canadian Pacific Railway constructed the Reversing Falls Railway Bridge in 1885 and this structure was replaced in 1922; it is currently used by the New Brunswick Southern Railway. The railway bridge crosses the gorge immediately downstream from the falls, parallel to the Reversing Falls Road Bridge.
The location of the falls was the site of a foundry and other light industrial operations on the east side of the gorge, while a large pulp mill on the west side. J.D. Irving, the company which has operated the pulp mill since purchasing it in the late 1940s, has encountered some criticism in recent decades for maintaining the facility at what is viewed as one of Saint John's prime tourism locations. This criticism became most pronounced during the 1980s and 1990s when the city government created Fallsview Park on the former industrial foundry lands on the east side of the gorge. The Falls were even given the dubious distinction by one publication as being among the worst tourist attractions in the world.
During the late 1990s a tourist business was established, offering jet boat rides on the river in the vicinity of the falls; however the boats do not operate in the roughest areas which experience a 3-metre (9.8 ft) drop in water level over a very short distance. The operators tend to stay in the choppy waters immediately downstream and attempt to soak passengers by driving through small whirlpools at the base of the railway bridge. Another more recent development at the Reversing Falls has been its growing use as a whitewater kayaking location, made unique by the changes in formation of the rapids during incoming or outgoing tides.
"You'll scramble your brains!" shouted Roger's mother. Resistance was unknown to Roger however when it came to riding the paint shaker at the Sherwin Williams store. Later in life he had to undergo reverse oscillation therapy to regain his equillibrium and complete his degree in applied kinetic sciences.
