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.

Luxury hotels offer free shuttle service by boat to cross the Chao Phraya River. So we enjoyed a free river trip in one of these beautiful wooden boats to a fence hotel where we didn't stay, just enjoyed a cocktail and back k by boat to the other side where we came from... :)

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.

Afgelopen vrijdag was ik onderweg vanuit Oss naar Apeldoorn toen ik te horen kreeg dat de LTE 193 740 "Komm Zum Zug" vanuit Bad Bentheim naar Tilburg onderweg was met de Rzepin-Shuttle. De trein zou via Arnhem en de Betuweroute naar het Brabantse rijden waardoor ik besloot een kort uitstapje naar Arnhem Zuid te maken, ik had immers mijn cameraspullen mee. Toevallig was Jip ook in de buurt en die kwam ook maar even naar Arnhem Zuid om wat te proberen, echter lukte het hem niet om een plaatje te maken. In deze donkere dagen is een plaatje maken überhaupt erg lastig, en het weer zat deze vrijdag ook niet mee waardoor de trein, welke rond 15:45 passeerde, nauwelijks in fotografeerbaar licht voorbij kwam.
Het is dus iets na 15:45 als de LTE 193 740 "Komm Zum Zug" de twee fotografen te Arnhem Zuid passeert met een lange en volbeladen Rzepin-Shuttle. Vanaf hier gaat het verder via Elst, de Betuweroute op, bij Meteren de Betuweroute af en zo via 's-Hertogenbosch naar Tilburg!

De 2e interessante trein van de avond betrof er een van Kombirail.
Op de foto passeert de Kombirail 186 102 Willemsdorp als deze onderweg is met een fraai beladen Duisburg shuttle onder nummer 41772 vanuit Duisburg Ruhrort Hafen richting Kijfhoek en uiteindelijk de Waalhaven.
During Alpini's Feast in Biella a lot of trains were deployed to withstand the very high demand of visitors coming to the event. To this purpose, a longer diesel shuttle trainset, which hasn't been running on these tracks for decades, was brought up from Tuscany to work extraordinary runs with larger capacity. In the picture, the D.445.1100 is pushing its train from Biella to Novara while passing nearby Sillavengo.
BNSF's Cheyenne Local power consisting of EMD SD70MAC No. 9880 and GE ES44AC No. 6229 shuttle the Alliance to Portland high-priority intermodal train north through Norfolk, Colorado, on June 26, 2023. Once the train gets to Cheyenne, the power will be taken off and the local crew will add the original power back on before it detours over the Union Pacific west of Cheyenne.

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!

A symbol of Helmond's industrial heritage, the flying shuttle was invented by the Englishman John Kay in 1733. Here in this unique photo are two of his direct descendants. This replica of the shuttle (schietspoel) stands next to the Zuid Willemsvaart canal in Helmond centre, in front of Raymakers textile factory.
The Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center near Washington Dulles International Airport is the companion facility to the Museum on the National Mall. The building opened in December, 2003, and provides enough space for the Smithsonian to display the thousands of aviation and space artifacts that cannot be exhibited at the Museum in Washington, DC. The two sites together showcase the largest collection of aviation and space artifacts in the world.

6029 leads the last shuttle of the day from Picton back to Thirlmere, seen here climbing Redbank with the shadows leaving just enough of a gap for most of the loco to still be lit. 4001 is on the rear assisting.
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.
