Making a racket through Narara the EMD and AlCo Combo of 42107 and 4836 race north with 1495 shuttle from Sadliers Enfield to Broadmeadow Yard.
Amtrak shuttle train 470 from New Haven is moments from its arrival in Springfield as it scoots up Main 2 at about MP 60.5 on Amtrak's ex New Haven Springfield Line main with the standard two car consist of an Amfleet and an ex Metroliner cab car pushed by a P42DC. Bracketing the train is an ancient signal bridge that once spanned four tracks in the glorious days long past.
If anyone has or can direct me to some photos of this spot in New Haven days and/or a map of the mains and adjacent yard that used to be here I'd love to see it.

The SCT shuttle from Islington to Port Augusta with GM40,SCT001 and a crew van has pulled up on the Rocky River crossing loop just after sunrise on 5-12-10
The conveyor shuttle booms on the side side of Dock 2 at Two Harbors lower into position over the Indiana Harbor.
The shuttle toy from Burger King is pretty darned cool! Unlike the larger ships, it doesn't look particularly "super deformed" and it is very detailed, good enough I think to be used in a serious photostory. And the best part of it? The voice that says "Approaching drop zone!" is Captain Pike's technically making this a Captain Pike toy!I had been annoyed that he was snubbed by the BK toys -but no longer!
Despte it's cartoonish proportions, I enjoy the Enterprise toy too, it makes a cool "whoosh!" sound like the Enterprise did in the intro to the Original Series. If they had only put the sound producing electronics in the body of the ship, instead of the saucer section they probably could've given us a halfway accurate model of it. Oh well it's still quite fun! I also have the U.S.S. Kelvin - I need to get some pictures of it posted one of these days.
Based on this design > turned the asymmentrical shuttle into a balanced ship with the added side pod. The engines turn into cruise, speed and landingmode. Canopy opens too..
I imagine that in the future, most airports will look like this one, where you can just hop right on a space shuttle bound for the nearest planet or galaxy. Not really a space station, this is the Bangkok International Airport and is one of the coolest structures I've ever seen. Down each terminal wing are long corridors of curved glass that let in a ton of beautiful sunshine. Subtle touches are everywhere including full orchid gardens around nearly every corner. Truly awe inspiring! No wonder Thai people are always smiling :)
I just got back from my vacation to Thailand / Japan and had a wonderful time. I must have taken one bazillion photos (at least) that I've only just begun to go through. I really lucked out with the weather and every day was sunny. It was also very warm and humid which I wasn't all that prepared for... but I definitely got my dose of Vitamin D for the year! Anyway, expect a steady stream of posts over the coming months.
As for the shot, another 9 expsosure set in order to capture the full range of light information, taken hand-held (though I do need to credit the railing with the assist). The taxi driver drove like a man possessed to the airport, and since I got there early, it gave me some extra time to troll around the beautiful airport and as luck would have it, found that the gate next door was completely vacant. I quite like the empty colorful rows of seats. Anyway, definitely another one to add to my collection of funky architecture!
Looking forward to catching up on everyone's streams! Hope you all have a fantastic week!

The Barbours Cut container terminal in the Port of Houston sends traffic to the rest of the country via shuttle trains that run to UP and BNSF's primary Houston-area intermodal facilities.
Here is UP's shuttle train, MBCHO (which is symboled as a manifest train), rolling through Deer Park Jct on the south side of the Houston Ship Channel.
In another 20 miles or so, the train will arrive and make connections at UP's Houston Intermodal Terminal at Settegast Yard.
The track in the foreground leads to Frontier Logistics's large warehouse and small SIT yard. They're switching this morning, hence the blue flag placed on the lead.

I used to work for a company called Spar aero space. I got to work on parts of the Canada arm and dedicate this shot to that mission of the last shuttle flight.
With the setting sun in the distance, KCS 4171 rolls eastward through Houston's West End.
On the drawbar is a long string of empty hoppers returning to the Motiva refinery in Port Arthur for another load of petroleum coke. Pet coke is a byproduct of oil refining (essentially a solid carbon rock with some nasty stuff in it), often sold overseas to be burned for power production. In early 2024, CPKC started running these shuttle trains from Port Arthur to the port of Corpus Christi for export.

At the end of September rail freight operator Aurizon commenced a regular 500km intermodal service between Gillman Terminal (Port Adelaide) and Pimba to service client BHP's mining operations in the north of South Australia.
Around 1.3 million tonnes per annum will be carried by five weekly return trains serving BHP’s activities at Olympic Dam, Carrapateena and Prominent Hill mine sites. BHP has advised
that these new logistical transport changes will remove an estimated 11,000 road truck movements p.a.
On Sunday 14 December 2025, Aurizon locos ACD6069/GWA008 head train 1801S bound for PImba, seen near Nectar Brook, South Australia.

The rocket's upper trail dissipated as it reached the higher atmosphere.
The setting sun gave the nice orange and pinkish hue to the lover level.
Local trees in my neighbor's yard blocked view of the actual launch stage.
I figured I would upload one more from last weekend's Thirlmere Festival of Steam, and this one made the cut.
2705 and 3016 have just arrived into Buxton at the end of their shuttle, and will shortly detach from the consist and run-around to guide the shuttle tender first back to Thirlmere.
Part 1: In 2027, the Interplanetary Exploration Alliance began flying the space orbiter shuttle Indefatigable on routine missions to carry elements of the I.E.A. Vanguard to orbit for assembly in space.

The Sentec Aerospace Bureau S-18 (Sparrow) was designed to ferry small shipments between major shipping ports. With minimal space for its crew of two, the shuttle devotes much of the aft cavity for cargo.
The Sparrow is also equipped with twin 20mm rotary cannons (just fore of the cockpit) which are protected from re-entry conditions by retracting behind hull panels.
The craft is capable of re-entry and planetary landing, although requires a space elevator in order to escape orbit.
Notable design features include the directional antenna at the front, full 3D vernier RCS, and gold-tinted canopy.
It also features fully retractable landing gear and weapons (but I forgot to photograph these).
A couple of hours digging new track followed by a couple of hours shuttling and testing at Riven Rock.
This is out in the Wairarapa (Carterton/Mt Holdsworth), about an hour and a bit out of Wellington.
