NS 68N, a unit sand train off the CPKC in Chicagoland, is on the move through Butler on main 2 of the NS Chicago main as they pound the diamonds with the former Wabash. They're following 256 after both spent time waiting on Amtrak 40 & 49 to weave through a cluster and two trains to clear off the Wabash before no less than three CPKC trains could finally take the connection onto the Wabash. Based on when they went through Chesterton I left home thinking they could already be into Toledo at 9AM, but I didn't finally get a picture of them until this shot at Butler at 12:03PM! 5/10/2026

The Canton was pulling three Railboxes from the dockside behind a pair of classic EMDs on a beautiful morning in Charm City.
The roads are bare - the sun is warm - the birds are returning - and the highway department has bucketed out the end of our driveway. That means that spring has definitely arrived in Alaska.
Our temperatures are warming to the low to mid-thirties during the day but dropping to single digits at night. This is the time of year to break out the camera gear, and photograph the snow-covered mountains, and slowly melting streams. April will arrive in one week, and it is one of the prettiest times of the year to enjoy the far north.
In this photo you see Mt. Drum - a peak that is part of the mighty Wrangell Mountains. I am so blessed to be able to enjoy this view each time I travel toward Glennallen. Come on up and see it for yourself.
Was framing the larger tree across the river with the closer branch hanging down to get some creative funk happening.
Then this beautiful Red-winged Blackbird decided to land into my view....voila Springtime Passion !
It's a matter of being there at the right place at the right time...isn't life grand when the magic and passion meet !

It's like Wow, all at once within one week Springtime exploded. It's been hard to keep up and be in five places at once to see all that has gone on. It sure is pretty though and i am definitely in my element...camera in hand. I sometimes think that i should make up a T-shirt with a decent photo of myself and a slogan that says.....Photography is my nature...which is exactly how i feel about photography !

Have a safe and incredible day dear Flickr friends !
