Spent part of my Sunday walking through the wonderful beech forest at Ekedalen. This shot is made by 4 portrait photos stitched together to get a wider shot and to make sure at least parts of the tree tops are visible. It was my first visit there, but for sure not the last...
A pair of Delaware-Lackawanna RS3's have finished their switching at Bridge 60 in Scranton, PA and are now headed down the connector to the ex D&H tracks where they'll reverse direction and run to the South Scranton shops where Papa Don is waiting to give some tender loving care.

CSX 2625 and 5353 intercept traffic on Tarragona Street as they hook up to a pair of boxcars spotted on the spur to W.R. Taylor Company. Since W.R. Taylor only has one unloading spot, the crew will pull both cars from the siding, re-spot the load and take the empty car back to Goulding yard. This unique switching operation takers place as needed but sometimes as often as twice a week, depending on demand, but almost always at night. This day the crew wanted to stay ahead of an approaching storm and had no cars to switch around at the port, and thus they managed to get to W.R. Taylor just as dusk started to set in. While this type of scene might have been commonplace 50 years ago, nowadays this operation is one of only a handful of instances left in the entire country where a carload customer is switched out from street running trackage.

I've been lacking in inspiration recently on the photography front, but was determined to get some shots today. I switched to my 100mm Canon L Series macro lens this afternoon, and went on a hunt round the house for everyday objects.
I do love these retro toggle light switches we have in our house. As I focused on them I spotted my reflection and decided to make that the focal point of the shot.
switch off, go out, sit down, take a rest and enjoy autumn.

Golden Triangle's only switcher weaseled it's way out of the paper mill property on this day and leads the daily "road train" up BNSF tracks at Columbus, MS past a permanent dwarf approach signal. There are two of these in Columbus. I'm not really sure what there purpose was/is. Maybe someone can chime in.

During the late 90's into the early 2000s, it was common for the P&W's Sunday Worcester extra to finish its' day with a side trip north to Gardner, MA to grab interchange from Guilford (B&M). Long before Med City-St. Vincent Hospital was built over the tracks altering the downtown Worcester scene, the Sunday extra with SW-7's 1201-1202 creep up the connection switch to access 2 in the hill. Engineer Bob Borelli and Conductor Chris Devlin waste no time, as the day is coming to a end. Richard C. Barnett photo SC Collection
