An (L) train makes a reverse move across the diamond north of Broadway Junction. Due to trackwork, the (L) was running from Canarsie to Broadway Junction only, affording this unique view.

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.

A lovely sunny day on the fields today near Thurcaston. Here a train heads for Rothley, part of today's war themed event.
Early morning train to Martina Franca, prepares to reverse out of Bari Centrale. 163 propelling. 1987
Sometimes when you anticipate a nice sunset towards the Western skies, don't forget to turn around and look East. The colors sometimes manifest themselves in the opposite direction... :-)

Flies can be tricky to shoot this close, often they'll take off if you get within a foot, but occasionally one will cooperate.
Shot with a 24mm reversed onto extension tubes. The flash is on a hinged hot shoe that leans the flash out over the lens stack. A DIY snoot with diffusion fires the light in front of the lens.
A welcome visitor to the 1987 RAF Mildenhall 'Air Fete' was this
US Air Force General-Dynamics FB-111A 'Aardvark, 68-0265 from the 2nd Bomb Wing.
When the FB-111's were superceded, she was reworked to F-111G standard and delivered to the Royal Australian Air Force in 1991 becoming A8-265.
Unfortunately - like most of the retired RAAF F-111's she was 'buried' in a Landfill Site on the 21 November 2011.
RIP

313201 and 313213 approach Barnham, working the second leg of the "Sussex Rambler" Class 313 Farewell Tour, 1Z32 10.40 Portsmouth Harbour - Littlehampton via Bognor Regis, on its return from Bognor Regis. [Pole, 4/6 sections (~5.4m)]
The whole tour, organised by the Branch Line Society in conjunction with Southern, ran as:
1Z31 09.01 Brighton - Preston Park (reverse) - Hove - Barnham - Portsmouth Harbour
1Z32 10.40 Portsmouth Harbour - Barnham (reverse) - Bognor Regis - Barnham - Littlehampton
1Z33 12.59 Littlehampton - Hove - Preston Park - Three Bridges
1Z34 14.11 Three Bridges - Lewes - Eastbourne (reverse) - Hastings - Ore Up Sidings (rev) - Hastings
1Z35 16.14 Hastings - Eastbourne (reverse) - Lewes (reverse) - Newhaven Marine (site of former station)
1Z36 17.39 Newhaven Marine (site of former station) - Haywards Heath Down Sidings (reverse) - Brighton
The tour fare was £62.60 (reflecting a pair of 313s) for adults and £31.30 for accompanied children.
Having photographed the train approaching from Portsmouth, I then made it across the field in time to join the gallery for the train heading down the branch. But I didn't have time to set up properly and, anyway, the train was on the near track, so I watched it pass and prepared for its return (by which time everyone else had departed!). However, this wasn't exactly the shot I'd originally planned... when I was here the previous August, there were no access restrictions to the edge of the field, so I intended standing further back than the foot crossing. But the land has been sold for housing, and metal "Heras" fencing has not only been erected half way between the railway fence and the edge of the paddock (which previously contained horses) but additional sections also restrict access to just the footpath (which runs straight across the middle of the field) - so I couldn't stand any further back than this, and found it almost impossible to take pictures without including the fence.
This is an angle I didn't manage to get during my visit here in August 2022, as I'd gone into Bognor Regis to photograph the semaphore signals when the sun angle here was at its best. After the tour had passed, I then stayed to do the shot again with a single unit and a longer lens, stood right by the stile over the railway fence, which (I think) will crop enough to remove the unsightly "Heras" fencing.

This beach was once infamous as a nudist beach, but with more relaxed public acceptance of partial nudity on most beaches; this tends not to happen here nowadays.

Day 172 ~ Reverse Rays
While we were in Brookshire Brothers, a stray storm cloud rolled into our area. We drove home through a torrential down pour and I actually hydroplaned several times. Yikes! But by the time we got back down to Purgatory Road, it had passed and it left a gorgeous sky in its wake. These were rays coming from opposite the sun... I'd never seen anything like it before in my life. The sun was behind me here, setting in the west, yet it looks like the rays are coming up from the earth in front of me in the east. What an odd phenomenon!

WEEK 33 – Columbus Kmart Closing, Set 6
Now that we’re on the way out of the store, it’s about time I finally tell the story of my attempted fixture purchase from here. I think I mentioned on my first stour from here that, if and when (okay, just “when” XD ) this Kmart would close, I wouldn’t mind trying to get my hands on the store's directory, which you’ll recall I was utterly fascinated by. On this visit, lo and behold, the fixture had a sale sticker on it and was priced for $50; a little much, but I’d learned by then that that’s probably a reasonable (or at least typical) price, so I was ready to jump on it. Our friendly cashier at the register did me the favor of getting the store manager, who was in charge of the fixture sale at this location, and he proceeded to walk over to the customer service desk to ring us up.
On our way over, just to clarify 100 percent that the directory would be coming along with the fixture – since that’s what I wanted, more so than the fixture itself, of course – I asked the manager just that. And to my disappointment, his originally cheery attitude faltered and then turned sour, and he said no. (cont.)

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
One more quick shoot with these gulls before it's time to move the boat! This gull landed right infront of me with its full and beautiful wing span visible. Not my usual desired angle for photographing birds but I loved how this looked when I opened the RAW file.

Video taken from Dutch television: Achteruitrijden.
In the 1970s reverse driving rallys were popular to watch on Dutch television. Almost all cars didn't survive the race.
Now we would regret getting demolished such nice cars.
I have to warn you for watching this!
