The shuttlecock cone is formed from 16 or so overlapping feathers, usually goose or duck, embedded into a rounded cork base. The cork is covered with thin leather. To ensure that shuttlecock rotate consistently, only feathers from the birds' left wings are used. Feather shuttles may come off the strings at speeds in excess of 320 km/h (200 mph).

...auch Wetron-Shuttle genannt, hier gezogen von der BLS 486 501, ist für mich einer der schönsten Auflieger-Züge die man im Mittelrheintal fotografieren kann. Durch zeitweilige Sperrungen auf der rechten Rheinseite gelang mir diese Aufnahme bei Boppard.

A bit of an oddball movement makes it’s way down the Michigan Line here in Kalamazoo. Two Amtrak GE P32-8WBHs 519 and 518 head west with a MOW ballast train by BO tower. This was a welcomed (but very brief) change of pace as the west end of this line normally see’s nothing but exactly eight passenger trains everyday, each operating with only two of Amtrak’s fifteen ITCS equipped P42DCs.
With a Bessemer & Lake Erie tunnel motor and a CN Anniversary Dash 8 on the point, CN U731 rounds the bend as it comes off the main on the Missabe Sub and on to the lead into the Fairlane Taconite Plant in Forbes, Minnesota. These trains shuttle raw iron ore from the Eveleth Thunderbird Mine to the plant for processing into taconite pellets, which are then taken to the docks in Duluth for loading onto lake freighters.

Afternoon light catching bare tree branches at the Temple of Sinawava, shuttle stop #9 on the Zion National Park loop. I visited on a whim on the return leg of a road trip and it ended up being one of the most satisfying vacation days of my life, thanks to fresh eyes, Fall light, and mild temperature.

So I rewatched the scene this shuttle was featured in and I saw that it was a bit different than the version in the concept art, so I added some stuff to finish it off while working on the other version...
In between semesters right now so there will be lots of new posts in the coming weeks!

Am 31. Mai 2021 kam die 151 018 von Lokomotion ab München Ost Rbf vor dem DGS 41850 von Trieste Campo Marzio nach Krefeld Uerdingen zum Einsatz. Die ehemaligen Bundesbahn Sechsachser lassen sich bei Lokomotion leider immer seltener vor Zugleistungen beobachten. Relativ verlässlich sind Einsätze vor dem KLV-Zug zwischen Ludwigshafen und Wels oder dem Wolfurt-Shuttle - beide verkehren jedoch bei Dunkelheit. Daher betätigte ich bei Durchfahrt des Zuges in München Süd erfreut den Auslöser, auch wenn der Beladungszustand etwas zu wünschen übrig ließ. Auch habe ich mich bei der Länge der Lok etwas verschätzt, das davor liegende Sperrsignal wurde hier digital abgebaut.
On 31 May 2021, 151 018 was used by Lokomotion starting at Munich Ost Rbf in front of freight train DGS 41850 from Trieste Campo Marzio to Krefeld Uerdingen. Unfortunately, the former Bundesbahn six-axle locomotives can be seen more and more rarely in front of trains at Lokomotion. Relatively reliable are the services in front of the intermodal train between Ludwigshafen and Wels or the Wolfurt shuttle - but in darkness. Therefore, when the train passed through Munich South, I happily pressed the shutter release, even though the loading condition left something to be desired. I also slightly misjudged the length of the locomotive, the blocking signal in front of it was digitally removed here.

It is simply fantastic to be able to use such a shuttle service in the Zion NP, here you can see a bus just before Canyon Junction.

I know this hard to believe but this is the Space Shuttle Endeavor linked to the Space Station as it passed over NH last night. Tonight it will be seen again at 9:17 and we will have clear sky's.
I knew I needed to be on the south side of the bridge for the best light. I then searched around for an hour for a suitable foreground. I liked the lines of the roadway, the counter balance of the boat under the bridge. I'm very happy with the finished product.
The Light Space2Surface shuttle is a commonly used vehicle throughout the galaxy. When you feel the urge to swoop along the surface on some unfamiliar moon on your ZeroG-Board you need some kind of quick transportation to take you down there.
