At sunset, an eastbound Milwaukee Road “Sprint” piggyback train approaches Signal Bridge 19 at Sheffield Tower in Kansas City, Missouri, on December 8, 1985. This is on the Kansas City Terminal and this area has changed just a bit, with the signals gone and a flyover passing over the place instead of the interlocking.
Arriva Trains Wales 'Sprinter' unit 150262 skirts the Conwy estuary as it approaches Glan Conwy station with the 10.08am Llandudno - Blaneau Ffestiniog service (2D14).
Any birdwatchers on the train would almost certainly have taken one of the right-hand seats and, in so doing, enjoyed the sight of a small flock of Shelduck feeding over the exposed mud at low tide.
The shot was taken from the A470 Llanwrst Road just south of the station with the intention of bagging a before and after image.
The striking Bodysgallen Obelisk in the background used to balance the image is not as old as you might think - standing 64 feet high it was built as recently as 1993 by the owners of the Bodysgallen Hotel, lying just below in the village of Esgyryn. Initially it was met with fierce local opposition but, as with so many follies before, time seems to have healed the wounds and it has now become accepted as a local landmark.
Running a bit behind so commenting switched off, thanks.

A pair of Milwaukee Road GP40s sprints Soo Line train 211 westbound toward Springdale Road grade crossing just east of Duplainville, Wisconsin, on a hazy August 1, 1987.
A Scotrail Sprinter 156511 passes Holywood with a Carlslie to Glasgow service. You can see the down starter and up home semaphores. The leaves on the trees are just starting to turn this Autumn morning.
Northern's 150145 catches the evening sun as it slows on the approach to Edale station with a Manchester bound service on the evening of Sunday 9th June 2019. The bulk of Lord's Seat provides an impressive backdrop.
The stopping services on this route seem to be mostly shared between 150 units and 142s.
Vanuit Leiden en Uitgeest komen in de avondspits Sprinters aan te Haarlem. Links zijn de 2143+2963+2112 te zien. Rechts twee SNG-stellen, waarvan ik de nummers niet heb gezien.
De 2112 (ex 2002 uit 1975) was op dat moment het oudste dienstdoende treinstel bij NS.
Photos from Saturday's race at Knoxville Raceway. This track is a semi-banked half-mile dirt oval raceway at the Sprint Car Capital of the World in Knoxville, Iowa.
Individual photos were taken with a Canon EOS Rebel T6 with a EF 75-300mm telephoto zoom lens and developed with Darktable 3.6.0. The collage was created with Photoshop..
Double-headed Sprinters lead a long Northeast Regional train east through Croydon, PA. The train is carrying three extra cars on the hind end, including two track/catenary inspection cars and office car Beech Grove.

Afgwlopen zondag werd de tijd opgevuld met even wat foto's maken bij Loenersloot. Daar werd onder andere de omgeleide Thalys vastgelegd. Die komt later online. Wat ook nog wel leuk was zijn deze 2 SGM treinen. Die passeren hier de 5 fotografen bij Loenersloot als Sprinter naar Rotterdam Centraal, terwijl de Sprinter naar Uitgeest de andere kant op rijdt.
156501 and 156506 draw into New Cumnock station with the 1L83 0913 Glasgow Central to Carlisle service. The station was opened by the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway in 1850.
It closed under British Railways in 1965 but reopened in 1991. Some original features still survive including a fine smattering of semaphores and a station building and signal box. The sidings behind the platform on the right of the shot are a legacy of the once busy coal traffic generated by the Ayrshire coalfield.

With the season almost over, it's hard to find fields with tulips in full bloom. Found these pink tulips south of Hillegom. The Sprinter is speeding to Leiden.
A Ranger L-440 aircraft engine out of a Fairchild PT-19 trainer c.1940. The L-440 was originally a 442 cid six cylinder air-cooled motor making 175 HP — the frame, a modified 1927 Essex built and raced by Leon Hubble.
[NL] De Sprinter sprint naar Dordrecht. Treinstel 2214 van de Nederlandse Spoorwegen moet nog even volhouden totdat deze het een na laatste station bereikt: Dordrecht Zuid. De overweg aan de Wieldrechtse Zeedijk zorgt er in elk geval voor dat de trein door kan gaan met waar die mee bezig was. Na Zuid volgt de eindsprint naar Dordrecht. Je zou het eerder een marathon kunnen noemen, want trein 5954 uit Roosendaal heeft er al wat kilometers opzitten. Maar eenmaal aangekomen in Dordrecht volgt de rustpauze, exact 15 minuten.
[EN] NS Stadler FLIRT EMU 2214 sprints towards final call Dordrecht Zuid. After a short rest brake at Dordrecht Zuid, the final sprint towards Dordrecht follows. At Dordrecht, the sprint ends, although I would rather call it a marathon, as this service (Sprinter 5954) came from Roosendaal, in total 37,4 kilometres.
[DE] NS Stadler FLIRT Tz 2214 sprintet nach Dordrecht Zuid. Ab dort folgt noch ein Endspurt nach Dordrecht und hat der Zug seinem Ziel erreicht. Ich wurde es allerdings eher einen Marathon nennen, da dieser Sprinter-Leistung aus Roosendaal kam, total 37,4 Kilometer.

I captured this coyote sprinting along the auto tour route in the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge in Northern California.
The SLT (Sprinter Light Train) is the newest type of Sprinter used by NS, and has been in service since February 2009. The SLT is an electric train, coloured white and blue with yellow details, and is easy to board and disembark from. The Sprinter was designed to transport passengers comfortably over short distances with a relatively large number of stops. Boarding and disembarking is easy thanks to the many wide doors, ground-level entry, spacious carriages and uncluttered interior. Sprinters are designed for metro-like travel for passengers with an average short journey time.
Thank you to Dean, Canadian Flickr friend who helpfully supplied the 'official' name for our new season [apparently Sprinter is even worse up there than here in NY].
This photo is from April 6th, and the snow was flying - but it is still snowing today! So probably, 2018 will consist of Winter, Sprinter, Summer, and Fall.
Let's hope all this does not lead to a new season named "Wummer"
A pair of Class 150 Sprinter DMUs head south through Abergavenny working the 1V92 Chester to Maesteg TfW service.
Seen once again in perfect conditions, RL309 and sister QUBE logistics unit RL310 sprint North to Somerton with 7635 empty grain having just unloaded at North Geelong in the states South West.
This train operates from Somerton as #MC4 to Oaklands for loading, before running back as #CM4 to Somerton loaded. From here, the train will either operate to Appleton Dock or North Geelong for unloading. On this occasion, the train went to North Geelong grain loop for unloading.
Once at Somerton after the train has been unloaded, the locomotives run light engine to North Dynon for refueling and prepping for their next run North.

BJ15 UVV is a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter City 45/Evobus new to McGill's of Greenock in April 2015 as their number 0155. It is now operated by JMB Travel and is seen here in Carluke whilst working the local town service.
De routines bij mij zijn: bewolkt naar Empel-Rees, Millingen of Haldern. Al is het zonnig, dan ga ik naar Praest. En zoals je kan zien heeft de zon goed meegeholpen op dit plaatje
Het spoorwegmuseum anders.
De laatste gele kop van de SGM?
Dit keer niet de lens uitgezoomt tijdens de opname maar zelf even heen en weer wiebelen.
No photoshop. Just playing with the camera.

My first entry to Round 1 of this year's Iron Forge! The seed part is used 4 times in the 50947 variety – specifically the fun printed ones from this Tiny Turbos set. As soon as I saw I had these, I knew I had to use the red headlights as eyes, and the idea of a sprinting robot was born instantly.
Had some fun with the pictures and tried to give the bot some personality. Check out the alternate shot!
