The Customs House in Dublin City Centre, on a long exposure like photo is a purple pink soup, however in reality its a projection of falling snowflakes, its the only snow you'll usually see in Dublin, purple or white ones.

BNSF 5803 and 7475 roll through West Riverside as they head for West Basin Container Terminal "Yang Ming" in San Pedro or Wilmington or whatever city that place identifies as being in. The train which was just about the only thing polishing the rails on the BNSF due to a derailment in AZ the day before made for a rather disappointing outing overall, but then again the clouds could have held up and I would have been left with a overcast crapshoot instead of this rather nice end result; win some loose some.

Blue hour over the River Liffey in Dublin City Centre, the red diving bell on the left a nice contrast with the blue sky & reflections over the river.
BNSF 3968 leads a westbound intermodal train out of Logistics Park Kansas City through Riverside towards West Thenard were it will be handed off to a On-Dock crew to be put away based from the M2 Alliance containers either TTI or APM Pier 400. I had went over to this spot much earlier in the morning to catch some softer lighting on the old searchlight bridge, only to see that the light isn't quite there yet in terms of shadow depth so I suffered through this eastbound instead: www.flickr.com/photos/117933195@N07/50656555138/in/datepo.... With some rain and even snow in the forecast this might get a redo only time will tell, hopefully the bridge lasts a bit longer too.
Nevermind that it's out of focus...
BNSF 127, 133 and 141 cruise by the Searchlights at West Riverside as they head out to the small yard at Porphyry (Corona), to start a days worth of hopefully serving some of the customers out there....
Glowing reflections on Dublin's River Liffey, with the diving bell in the centre of shot, even the sky is a nice soup.
BNSF's Holiday Express blasts by Champion Lumber as the train passes through Chicago Avenue on a clear day. The train has been running for less than 10 minutes after it departed from San Bernardino's B-Yard. The train will run around the San Bernardino Subdivision for the day then rest for the night before a Monday run over Cajon.
BNSF 7930 and company take decent sized Long Beach, CA Pier E (LBCT) to Memphis, TN bound intermodal train up the slight grade between the crossovers at Arlington and the Junction with the Union Pacific at West Riverside. With a repainted motor fourth out just to make it a real BNSF experience the long line of OOCL and a few COSCO China Shipping show off the grade profile as well as the height difference between Wells that had standard cans loaded into them as opposed to, the Wellcars that got loaded with Hi-cubes
Restored WWII B-17 Bomber at the March Air Museum in Riverside, CA.
B-17s were the workhorse bombers of WWII, and were so well built a lot of them were still able to fly even after sustaining damage to their fuselage and running on one engine.
This particular bomber was delivered to the 15th AF, 97th BG in Italy in 1944 and became Gen. Ira Eaker's staff plane. Declared surplus in 1955 it was transferred to the Bolivian Air Force as a cargo plane. After 25 years it was the last B-17 flying in Bolivia and was returned to the U.S. in 1981, flying to March AFB with over 13,000 flight hours. Her restoration was begun in 1997.
It had rained a couple of nights before I took this photo, and the puddle from which I'm getting the reflection is only about 2 feet across.
With a lot less light than I had excepted on the nose of the locomotive, BNSF 7247 blurs by the Searchlights at West Riverside. As the intermodal train off of Pier E works through downtown Riverside as the morning marine layer burns up as of the sun gets higher and higher. Gonna have to try this again with the Searchlights that are here before they get swapped out but with a Westbound.....and in more full lighting.
The Magnificent B-29 Superfortress
March Field Air Museum
03-24-18
One of my favorite planes of all time. Here's the description from the placard at the museum:
Designed to replace the B-17, the B-29 was the largest operational bomber of WWII. Used only against the Japanese, it relied on speed and heavy armament to render it less vulnerable to enemy fighters.
The most famous mission was in 1945 when Col. Paul Tibbets' B-29 dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima.
The B-29 was used extensively in the Korean War (1950-1953). However, it was not capable of defending itself against jet fighters and was phased out.
Sike!
With the BNSF doing some kind of staggered approach to removing the old ATSF Searchlights on the San Bernardino Subdivision (Replacements in position at Arlington and Mary Street) a scouting report at West Riverside was in order, and oddly enough all four signals are still here. Then as an added treat the BNSF sent out a nice Dash-9 leader on a Long Beach, California (Pacific Container Terminal) to Alliance, Texas Stack-train to split the EBCS at West Riverside, as the morning light was still ultra decent. Then again this was the only Eastbound to fill in for a morning shot, so a run back at the end of the month was necessitated to try again. When I went back twenty-five days later they were all still there, more fluster clucks of Eastbounds passing through to come.
BNSF 8255 takes the turn away from Union Pacific tracks at West Riverside as it leads a train consisting of most J.B Hunt boxes on spines and other mixed trailers. As the Z-train cruises along the San Bernardino Subdivision on it's way to Hobart Yard which is a mere 55 miles from here.
With Mount Rubidoux in the distance and a wide variety of different Palm Trees stand along the tracks at West Riverside. An ATSF hold out guards the Junction with the Union Pacific's LA Subdivision and a pair of Crossovers on a clear night.

The Citrus Heritage Museum in Riverside, CA is a great place to visit. You'll see old groves and new plantings. You can taste many variety of citrus for free, and even take a bag home at no charge. This couple is hiking one of the many trails.
Trying my hand at panning using Mission Inn's Festival of Lights and Cinderella carriages. (I haven't been able to shoot/post as much as I would like; hope you all are doing well! <3 )
Riverside, CA
The sound of the near by 91 freeway is temporarily drowned out by the rumbling of four GEVO-12 motors as, BNSF 8089 leads a lengthy Pier 400 bound Maersk and Mediterranean (2M) train through West Riverside. Were one of twelve remaining BNSF Searchlight Signal sets can still be seen in California. Rumors and speculation are that these Signals will be replaced sometime in the first quarter so get some shots now.
With Pachappa Hill behind them and Santiago Peak even further back, a long line of yellow Mediterranean and various red leaser containers treads itself through downtown Riverside with all DC consist of General Electrics lead by BNSF 4859.
With one of the few remaining Bombardier coaches in the fleet (Most have been sold off to other transit systems) an almost modern Metrolink train 753 with SCAX 921 providing the power blasts past the grade crossing at Chicago Avenue, as the LAUPT bound commuter train heads for the station stop at Downtown Riverside. As the final signs of permanent change start to show up along the eastern portion of the San Bernardino Subdivision. With what would appear to be a cantilever base and structure for the newer LED Vaders have appeared to finally to put the AT&SF era steel Searchlight Signal bridge into retirement.
"BNSF can't take you right now I'll call you when their ready"...
And here they sit, as the sun beats down on the cab as the trees on this end of the street are big but, not big enough to cover the tracks. As Union Pacific 9017 and 6764 sit in the clear just to the west of the signal at Streeter, with a Global 4 bound stack train, surprisingly this one was under ten-thousand feet running the old way with ninety-two thousand feet of imports between the headend a the rear (not midtrain) DPU.
Union Pacific's ILXDI block of Evergreen Shipping containers leaves a faint green blur as the train enters the BNSF at West Riverside for all of seven miles to the Mt. Vernon Connector. As the three ATSF installed Searchlights and one newer Union Pacific installed LED Vader guard the Junction here as well as a Crossover.
BNSF 3816 rolls past what was the soon to be replaced but now obsolete ATSF Searchlight at Chicago Avenue in Riverside, as the four pack of matching General Electric locomotives drag a Q-train east toward St.Louis. The only thing that has seemingly stayed the same out here, is the is the way the Intermodal trains are powered up in and out of Southern California. The Santa Fe now the BNSF running with 2.0 horsepower per ton on just about every train (sometimes more) and the Union Pacific which unless it's a UPS Z-train doesn't see more than 1.5 HPT.
