A rather unusual, and should be unnecessary, sign at the entrance to a restroom in a park around the Fort Loudoun Dam near Lenoir City, Tennessee
A reflected neon sign in a rainy evening puddle in an inner Brisbane suburb.
Thanks for stopping by. Your comments, however brief, are always welcome.
Have a Snappy New Year!!!

So it would appear, but in fact it was part of the sign identifying a Seat & Body Shop.
One from the archives, 14 years ago. As usual, stumbled across it by accident.
Follow the memories that tell a tale
Follow the wild twisting trail
Read the sign, relive the past
Found in the history, colourfully vast
As the memories, they tell a tale
When you follow the wild, wild, trail
In this R&N storyline today we'll go after what I showed up looking for. The GP38-2's painted in the Reading Co's last scheme which was applied to their GP39-2 and GP40-2's.
I think I photographed 9 or 10 trains on the Scranton Branch during the trip. I fought clouds for much of it, though never on cloudy days. The branch is fantastic for photographers. In it's 7 or 8 miles between Pittston and Taylor there's side-by-side running with the former Lehigh Valley, a flyover, former DL&W mileposts, a through truss bridge, a former station, a cut, an S curve, and an iconic easy to do elevated shot. Traffic and timing are very consistent, Monday through Friday the PISB (Pittston-Scranton Branch) is pulling into Taylor between 830 and 9am. Weekends are a little different with the PISB doing double duty and handling the interchange with NS at Taylor. On these days they also usually split their power instead of keeping both engines on the head end. During my stay this job was the nearly exclusive domain of a pair of the RDG painted* GP38-2's.
The surprise was the Pittston yard job. When I showed up to Pittston for the first time since probably 2006 (Pittston back then had been my only experience with the R&N) I wasn't surprised to see a Caboose there. I was surprised to see it used the next day and then absolutely flabbergasted when I figured out that the normal move for the yard job was to shove the entire way up the Scranton Branch to Taylor! Every now and then there will be an exception where supposedly the hitch a ride on the rear of the PISB up there but it didn't happen while I was there watching (Though once or twice I would see it mentioned in John Cudo's post to the Friends of the Reading and Northern Railroad Facebook group).
Anyway usually late morning the YJPI1 shoves to Taylor Caboose-first and returns with it tucked in between the locomotives and the inbound interchange. The line orientation is more east-west than north south so the PISB is aiming into low sun in the morning and coming back towards the sun in the afternoon. The yard job makes itself a mid-day affair.
Here late on a weekend morning we see the early (compared to the usual 4pm or so) return of the Scranton train (SBPI now in deference to the change in direction) bending around the wye at Pittston Junction off of the former DL&W into the former LV Coxton Yard. And Mr. Muller loves signs.
One classy sign, don't ya think?! A good push for a hair salon, and a sweet reminder that your hair is your best accessory!
This was a sign they had in the window of the hair salon we went to while up in British Columbia. I thought it was so classy, I just had to take a picture of it! Hope you all enjoy some of my randomness! :)

Sure, we are forecast to get 8”-12” of snow Thursday night into Friday, but the Sandhill Cranes have returned from winter break.
The V sign has a different meaning between every culture, in this picture it means Victory, and the stones referred to the up rising (Intefada in Arabic) movements of the Palestinian against the Israeli occupation.
They defend themselves with stones and raised their hands with the victory sign "V", against soldiers with their guns.

The blossoms are so lush this year it's astounding. But inhere has been a tremendous amount of rain as well. I guess you can't have everything!

From Powerall: What Is A Shunt Trip Circuit Breaker?
A circuit breaker “trips” once it detects a problem, cutting off power to the outlet or appliance in question and protecting the wire from burning.

The reason this photo got taken is because many individuals, myself included, are proud owners of a VP Shunt, and yes, it is a trip. I know many people that contend with one and all are still thriving.
Some people have them installed as small children, some people as teens, and some as adults. Some people say they save lives. Some people are not sure they are worth the trouble. But think of all the fun we'd miss, if one is still able to think at all. It does take work.
The Robin is a sure sign of Spring.......hope everyone is having a great weekend : )
