through different lamps...

Nearly 48 hours since the last edition of CN 529 passed here with the CNJ heritage unit leading (no CN 529 ran yesterday), the new D&H heritage unit (NS 1080) leads CN 529 westwards, making its first run in Canada. Yesterday it made its first run up the D&H (as CPKC 929).

Here is the last photo in this little series from a rainy morning long ago captured while waiting for a bit on the platform at Amtrak's BWI Thurgood Marshall Station for Amtrak train 2158 to pick me up for a speedy trip through the fog and mist up to Providence. I'd been east from Alaska to attend an ASLRRA seminar and after wrapping up in Baltimore I piggybacked a little vacation time on and headed north to see my family in New England.

First opened in 1980 and remodeled in 2019 this was the first intercity rail station in the United States built to service an airport. Today it ranks as the 12th busiest of the more than 500 stations Amtrak serves. To learn more check out Amtrak's history of the ground breaking modern depot:

Anyway, as for the train it's just an unidentified MARC Penn Line train head south to Washington Union Station with HHP8 4914 (blt. 2001) shoving on the rear. This is a stark motive power contrast to what was leading the northbound MARC train I also photographed: flic.kr/p/2od6NBY

Only 21 of the 8000 hp electric locomotives were built by Bombardier-Alstom and ordered in 1996 at the same time as the Acelas to support the need for more electric locomotives when the New Haven to Boston segment of the NEC was electrified and came on line in 2000. Amtrak purchased 15 and MARC the other six and while Amtrak's racked up over one million miles each they had relatively short service lives and the last Amtrak one was out of service by 2014 as the new Siemens ACS64s took over. But as of this writing MARCs units have been rebuilt and continue in service.

Same owner since 2011.

The two remaining CNW motors, C44-9Ws 8646 and 8701, hold in Winfield with the LPJ02 local on home rails waiting for space in Proviso Yard to clear up.

Same position as last shot, only slightlyreframed. The difference apart from B&W to the last shot is the exposure. Some 4 minutes long, the cloud movement really shows the affect of updraft on the sky. Incase you wonder why the centre is bright, like the last shot the sun is in the centre with clouds shadowing the mountains. Such shots arent everyones cup of tea, but i am just expanding my portfolio.

Same as my previous post, in colour.

2 exposures, hand blended in CS6. One exposed for the sky, and a second for the building.

After the retaining wall collapsed some of the bulbs got moved around. This is one of the results of the mixing.

A scene from Shettleston in May 1980 at the same point as my last picture from 2021, at the east Eastbank/Eastmuir end of Shettleston Road.

The Greater Glasgow Atlantean LA1116 is on the 1 service to its Shettleston terminus and the Eastern Scottish Fleetline DD57 is on the 230 service from Parkhead to Easterhouse soon to turn left onto Gartocher Road. Both buses display the PTE's Trans-Clyde logo a 1970s attempt to provide an integrated and interlinking transport system in the Glasgow area but even then the PTE and SBG did not use the same bus stops in the city.

Some of my best work IMHO, comment and note your thoughts :3. The optics are planted inside of the suits used to fire this rifle :3, the iron sights are super high tech and require the suit to view down :D.

Same snowy I saw a few days ago. It was in almost exactly the same spot east of Langdon.

Same owner since 2003, perhaps sat as long?

N875 VOV

Same day as previous photo. I couldn't choose just one!

Same time and place, a M/F pair.

Same owner since 1997

Old but not weakened

same subjetc but here i've tried new ways..what do you think about it?

Take a look on Black

I like to make this kind of stuff. It is just an unusual relaxing theraphy like meditation or knitting!!! 8)

whats your unusual relaxing therapy?

Same as those on previous picture but having more repetitions of the same pattern... Not as effective as flower tower, as here next level is less than half, thus it's eating more paper. Folded from 30 cm of kami. The last level I opted not to try to finish it completely as it wasn't enough precise for that. The finish on the center is the same as on violet doodle... :)

Snow all gone in Cornwall now, temperatures as high as 20 and lots rain.

All the beauty that's been lost before

Wants to find us again...

The same wind will take care of you and I

Prelude to the 42nd Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade.

Hyde Park, Sydney

We need the tonic of wildness...At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.

― Henry David Thoreau

It is a commonplace of all religious thought, even the most primitive, that the man seeking visions and insight must go apart from his fellows and live for a time in the wilderness.

― Loren Eiseley

[Note: I have mentioned Loren Eiseley's writings to several contacts and would recommend them to all interested in the spiritual and philosophical side of nature. His book "The Star Thrower", a collection of his works, is remarkable in every way. A naturalist who thought well beyond his scientific training, he was referred to as "the heir apparent" to Henry David Thoreau for good reason.]

same but different

Change of hair colour on this shot.

Same place as previous photo.

I have previously posted a scan of this from a print but this one is from the negative which is a little better.

On the bridge is NZR Locomotive Ja 1275 made in 1952.

The car is my 1960 Ford Zephyr .

A very wet day in 1967.

B&W square negative.

Ja1275 is an oil burner.

Compared to what Tamás and Michał composed here, the bus and the location is the same, but the livery and the colours of the landscape have changed.

So you can take this as the Borsodbóta/DUD-564 sequel :)

The smallest is the oldest and the youngest is the tallest.

They have different sizes

Different colors.

Different origins.

Different breeds.

One is from Iceland and one from Shetland. Both are horses although one is called a pony.

Same day, different outfit, still way too hot outside for two pairs of tights.

Same shot without the Jeep.

Same lovely Clear Lan pants, but what a different setting!

Isobel is wearing Clear Lan pants, blouse made by me, random belt and Mattel booties.

Ae Soon is wearing Clear Lan capris, Purezza blouse, Mattel belt and socks and her stock shoes.

Office diorama made by me.

Same owner since 2003.
