Nicht ganz so spektakulär wie die Bergfahrten sind die Talzüge, die zumeist nachmittags vom Brockengipfel wieder nach unten dampfen. Dennoch bieten auch sie oft einansprechendes Dampflok-Flair. HSB-Lok 99 7232 hat vor wenigen Augenblicken den Bahnhof am höchsten Gipfel Norddeutschlands verlassen und umrundet zunächst einmal den Blocksberg.

I can now finally reveal the competing images from the 2021 Sandwich Fair Competition.

These images continue the series from the Sandwich Fair, the biggest and the last county fair in the state of Illinois. Known simply as "The Fair" by locals, it was started in 1888 and is the oldest continually-operated county fair in Illinois as well.

Held the week after Labor Day, the Sandwich Fair can draw tens of thousands of visitors per day and is a photographer's delight.

It is the reason why my photography club, the Sandwich Photographic Society exists. Formed in 1986 to document every aspect of the 100th Sandwich Fair in 1987, SPS is now a Chicago Area Camera Club Association certified club.

SPS sponsors a "Sandwich Fair Challenge" every year a themed photographic competition open to all that consists of 10-15 categories with the only criteria being that all images need to be taken at the current year's Fair. Many of the images featured in this series were taken to fit these categories.

This image is of "CB&Q 3000," a faithful 1/4 scale working replica of Class S-4 Chicago, Burlington, & Quincy Hudson 4-6-4. Built by A.C. "Augie" Otto, this one-of-a-kind locomotive took 7 years to build and was completed in 1973. It first ran at the 1974 Sandwich Fair in Sandwich, Illinois. It runs every year on a permanent oval track during the Sandwich Fair, though there was some ruminating that 2021 or 2022 could be it's last year in operation. While a fixture at the Fair, she is privately owned and, even though small, it is a working steam locomotive. As such, it takes a team to keep her running. That team is now well into their retirement years.
