Spring is in the air in this April 1976 scene that Lonnie captured from his eastbound Milwaukee Road GP9 rolling through Palmyra, bound for Waukesha. The Wisconsin & Southern railroad still utilizes this mainline today.

Tried a slightly different angle here this time. How would you like to be lounging in that hammock when this old Schenectady gal burbled on by?!
Those of you who follow my work know about something called my 'Batten Kill Batting Average.' It started because of my story of trying to shoot this most elusive and desirable of northeastern rail operations. This link will take you to that original story of you don't know what I'm talking about: flic.kr/p/2mz9p86
This was my 17th lifetime trip out to the road and 9th time shooting them moving so now I'm batting .529. Not bad at all!
But amazingly I had no intentions of coming out here at all. In fact my Friday goal was only to travel as far as the Hoosac Tunnel and try for an eastbound. Alas as I made my trip west I heard an EDRJ ahead of me talking to District 3. Once I knew they were continuing west I was sure there were no eastbounds in the picture so I headed over the mountain in hopes that perhaps 16R was waiting at North Adams. Alas they were not and EDRJ continued west straight through town without meeting anyone at CPF423. So at this point I was committed and since the next and now most likely place they would meet would be 20 miles west at Hoosick Junction I continued on. Once I was that far I reached out to a contact at the BK and he informed me they were indeed running south and hadn't left Salem. The light wouldn't be favorable by the time something went east on Pan Am Southern anyway and Alcos always trump SD60Es so off to Shushan I went.
I had a lovely little chase in perfect sun that more than made up for my failings on Pan Am. SNEX 5012 (an ex Atlantic & Danville Alco RS36 blt. May 1959) leads eight empties through the quaint little village passing homes lining aptly named Railroad Ave. right at MP A132. The A denotes Albany, and despite being only 37 miles in a straight line, via rail it's nearly 132 miles north to Castleton, west to Whitehall, then south to Mechanicville and on to the state capital and the D&H's historic headquarters city.

The world has made one more revolution around the ball of light we call the sun and it's time to again fasten ourselves into machines that fling us around at high speeds and make us feel fear and joy at the same time. Is that some sort of messed up addiction?

There is so much magic in springtime
As our landscape begins to wake up
Much like a warm delicious coffee
That we sip from a special coffee cup
Little sprouts pop out of the ground
Oh, what did I plant last year?
Often we get a big surprise and
It's so pretty that we may shed a tear
Trees that were naked and quite ugly
Begin to have a fuzzy green
For leaf buds are really excited
To open in springtime it seems
I love this time of year and without it
It would be ever so tragic
Nothing makes me happier than
Mother Nature's Springtime Magic!

Even though it was raining it was fun to see this young couple walk past. I walked out into the rain myself from our cover in a doorway to get a grab shot. The tree in blossom was a bonus.
PS I don't recommend 1/25 at 190 mm zoom but it was that or miss the shot.

Idyllic path between budding willow trees. It's springtime, it smells spicy and the wild plants bloom exuberantly.

We've had some torrential showers here this Spring, but this Apple blossom just managed to hang on. Nature's wonderful - let's hope we allow it to keep doing its thing.
We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
And we can dance
