At the Scheidplatz square is a major interchange of the same name from bus to tram to subway.
Here we are on tram tracks while in the distance one line 12 tram is about to leave (away from me, just to state that).

“Make sense who may. I switch off.”
Quote - Samuel Beckett
Wishing you a nice weekend ahead, will be away for some days.
Toledo, Peoria & Western’s Morton Switcher departs Morton, Illinois, with a diminutive train for the yard at East Peoria on a cold day in December 1983. The local this day is powered by TP&W’s only GP18, No. 600, and only one car and a caboose trails the colorful locomotive.
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...

Susquehanna C420 2002 drills cars on the former Erie main line in front of some of the most-photographed brick buildings in the east.
Ohio Central's ZVL switches out the east end of the modest yard in Zanesville. Both Super 7 locomotives, each wearing the paint of a different Genessee & Wyoming predecessor, provide power for today's train.
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.

Pan Am's OCS rolls west into the interlocking at CPF363 in Athol, Massachusetts, also known as Tyters. This interlocking is one of a few that still has an equilateral switch, a feature that used to be much more common on the old B&M, but most have been replaced over the years. The light rain falling at the time of this photo will have given way to a downpour and nightfall by the time the OCS reaches East Deerfield, and yards the train.
Freeport McMoRan 49 switches cars at the Morenci Mine before making the trip down the 4.5% grade to the interchange with the Arizona Eastern in Clifton, AZ.

CSXT 1203, an MP15T, works Reichhold Inc. in Jacksonville, Fl. I was surprised to see an endcab switcher in town as the vast majority have been sold off and left the roster of almost all Class I railroads.

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.
'I'm not a very well travelled person but I'm not too bothered when I can get to scenery like this in 25 mins from home. The stunning rocks on the coastline near to Cwyfan bay, Aberffraw are so lovely to visit and stare at as the Irish sea batters back and forth. I love coming here to switch off and relax from the stresses of everyday life. When you get a sunset like this, well that's just an added bonus'.
After yanking transition gear out of there C628/C630 fleet the SP put them to work in heavy switching service at a number of big yards around the system. Colton seen there share of the big Alco's and a spiffy looking set of 3153 and 3152 are working there in September 74 in this Greg Stadter shot, Chuck Schwesinger collection.
On the former Rock Island main line to Limon, an eastbound Kyle Railroad grain train arrives at Seibert to do some switching at the Seibert Equity Co-Op Association grain elevator on May 6, 2014. Kyle EMD SD45T-2 No. 3099 is the then recently-repainted former Southern Pacific No. 9330, with trailing sister No. 9362 still in remarkably good SP paint.
