This is a minimalist view of Lake Huron in the winter. In the morning there was snow-covered ice just about to the horizon, but a few hours later the ice shelf had broken loose and began to drift away, with the open water filling the gap. The thin blue line at the horizon is open water at the far edge of the ice. By late afternoon the wind had kicked up and the ice was gone. This is a good example of why one should use great caution and judgement before going out on the ice. Decades ago my father had to be rescued by the Coast Guard when he and others were stranded when the ice on which they were ice-fishing on the Detroit River broke loose and headed downstream.

However, I just heard the song from Lenny Kravitz, "I want to get away"... Nuff said!
Having wrapped up their work over on the East Providence side, Providence and Worcester Railroad local freight PR-3 is now headed south toward the Port of Providence for the rest of their days work. This is the official timetable end of the Main Line at MP 5.1 (as measured from Union Station) at this one time junction known as 'Boston Switch' and from here to Cranston Yard they will be on Amtrak property. Visible to the right and partially obscured by the spring greenery is the crumbling tile roofed pagoda style interlocking tower here where Amtrak's Northeast Corridor mainline down from Boston curls in from the northeast. Sharp eyes will note the white painted concrete New Haven Railroad era milepost 190 at the right edge of the frame.
That line was built as the Boston & Providence in 1847 as a new route into the city from East Jct. near South Attleboro, MA. Their original 1835 route traveled to East Providence where passengers and freight were ferried across the Providence River into downtown. From this point to Union Station the P&W (which opened its line into Providence that same year) and B&P were operated a joint facility. In 1892 the P&W was leased to the New Haven and a year later the former B&P (by then in the Old Colony fold) joined the growing empire and both routes now fell under the aegis of the same company.
In 1914 a massive grade separation and line relocation project in Pawtucket took place. This was about the eastern limits of the work and according to Edward J. Ozog's phenomenal Railroad's of Rhode Island site:
"SS 156 was built to protect the east end of the line relocation. Switches and signals were operated by electricity. The plan of the tower was similar to SS 154 built at the same time at the west end of the relocation but adjusted for its location and orientation. The tower was reduced to short hours when the depression struck and it was closed in 1935 and its duties transferred to Woodlawn Tower. In 1937 the interlocking machine was sent to Bridgeport for use in SS 60.".
Remarkably some 87 years after the last shift was worked here it still stands guard as a tangible link to the Ocean State's railroading heritage. And interestingly though named 'Boston Switch' there is no longer an actual switch here and the closest physical connection (even though technically Amtrak property begins here) is about 1.4 miles ahead at LAWN interlocking.
GP38-2s 2008 and 2006 are original to the road having been built new for the then only 7 year independent company by EMD in Dec. and Feb. 1980 respectively), and they still proudly wear their red and brown colors despite being a member of the Genesee and Wyoming family for more than six years already.

Always enjoy an off the wall camera capture, especially when it has to do with railroading. The somewhat explosive separation of the airbrake hoses and attendant escape and condensation of the compressed air. See the next photo for them coupled and close to disengaging. Captured during the 611 photo shoot. Going down tomorrow to watch them fire it up, meaning it will be stone cold and the fire will have to be built, engine lubed and all the other start up items. Click on the picture to look at the original size.
The Separation
Quick contour/continuous line sketch from imagination. I find that there's a sense of both sadness and love in their expressions which I quite like.

My neighbors are losers! Though no words have been exchanged I think they hate me for doing the D-Generation X crotch chop in the middle of the street in front of their kids. We live in the city not the suburbs... this is how we spell relief! "Lets Get Ready to.......

Separation. Displacement. Asunder.
A boundary. A union. A contradiction.
Diremptio is incongruity and antithesis, in agreement; two planes in the same space separated by form, shape, color, depth, meaning; each a stilled moment in its own time joined in common boundary by a contrary moment, like fingerprints on a window, unique, separate, together.
An ongoing series.
Sometimes, I enjoy the mechanics of certain photos for what they can represent, even if they don't feel like particularly "interesting" compositions. I loved all of the lines of separation here: the foreground and background, the lit and shaded parts of the large rock, the vertical trees and the horizontal line from the foreground. I find those elements contrasting to be really pleasing and am drawn to shots like this one.

"And it would appear that the president’s [Trump's] intervention has been successful; Netanyahu’s corruption trial has since been postponed.
When it comes to committing genocide using American weapons funded by American taxpayers, Israel is a sovereign state upon which the US can exert zero leverage or control. When it comes to meddling in the corruption trial of a man who is wanted for war crimes by the International Criminal Court, the White House pulls no punches in protecting its favorite genocide monster.
There is no meaningful separation between the US and Israeli governments. They’re two member states in the undeclared empire that sprawls across the entire western world, and Trump and Netanyahu are two of the most depraved and most consequential managers of this empire today.
They are thick as thieves. They are partners in crime.
Call it the Trumpanyahu administration." Caitlin Johnstone
