Angelica surrendered pretty fast. She tried to chew the stick for a second, so I switched with Lisa - I asked her to hand me the stick so she can go and make friends with her.
This really weird formation caught my eye...first it was going to the right then it switched, Lol to the left....I'm sure there is some logical scientific answer but I call it, switch.
Two axle diesel switcher at Alfarelos, Portugal, October 10, 1966. I have no information about this locomotive.
The lone Bloomer Highhood switches out Alliance Grain while a switcher is tied onto a couple grain cars.
Ramadan 2016 was the longest in decades, due to coinciding with the summer solstice. Although he is fairly well-traveled, Adel Zo had never been out of Algeria during the holy month. He struggled with the work schedule, with missing his mother, and with the lack of community vibe. As a two-pack-a-day smoker, food wasn't even his biggest sacrifice. Halfway through Ramadan, he switched to working overnight shifts in Times Square, which was somewhat easier than the day shift had been, and occasionally allowed nearby cart workers to break fast together. Formerly a database administrator for Algeria's Ministry of Health, Adel fondly remembers people napping at his office or even at the mosque during Ramadan. Definitely not an option when you're hustling smoothies 12 hours at a time.

Hi friends! Are you on Instagram? If so, please follow me @nancyc_huang (www.instagram.com/nancyc_huang/) for photos that are about 95% different than what I post here on Flickr. I'm currently working on a long-term project on the stories of immigrant street food vendors in New York, and will be sharing a few of the photos I've posted there. I have a description & essay format on nancychuang.com/streetvendors.html , but I really hope you'll join me over on Instagram for newer images & continuing progress.

The JVRR 2106, painted in PRR colors, works the yard in Lewistown, as it prepares for the arrival of C42.
A pair of standard cabs switch cars on the west side of the yard east of Fostoria. NS Fostoria District. Fostoria, OH. February 12, 2022.
Ex-WP 3557 GP40-2 UP 9991 and ex-MP 699 GP38-2 switch by the Rosboro lumber mill in Springfield. The engineer appears to be blowing on his hand, which would make sense as it was about 20 degrees.
The Köf III pulls an empty out of the Bauknecht warehouse. Due to the tight curve radius they can only take one car at a time down this segment of the spur.

Norfolk Southern SD60E 6948 is at the head end of a westbound local switching Frito-Lay near Sidney, Illinois on August 7, 2020.
A pair of EMD end-cab switchers owned by the Luzerne & Susquehanna are seen pulling tank cars from the Reading & Northern interchange at Pittston to an unloading facility at Avoca. Out of all the rail operations in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area, the L&S is by far the hardest to track down and requires some luck and good timing. They are actually operating on Reading & Northern rails here, on what was once the Lehigh Valley's main line between Buffalo and points east.
I found this derelict building while visiting Derby's Format 15 photography festival (UK); it was being used as an exhibition space. Lots of personal photo opportunities & I'll probably go back towards the end of the festival...
I was lucky enough to get one of the new OLED versions of the Nintendo Switch. It's honestly night and day better than the original one!
You can find me at the locations below:
Former BN sw1500 3443 switches out cars on its new owner, Burlington Junction's Burlington line. This unit has unfortunately since be renumbered and repainted.
On a hot and humid Chicago summer morning this NS job kept busy. South Chicago Packing in Chicago's South Side Bridgeport neighborhood is one of the last companies still operating from the meat packing days of this area. It receives tank cars of edible beef tallow for processing into various food ingredients.
South Chicago Packing has its own car mover for shuffling around the tank cars on its tracks.
It was the first time I caught this Norfolk Southern job working the area in 15 years of passing through.
At one time the Bridgeport neighborhood on its west side had a maze of railroad tracks that weaved in and around industries including the massive Spiegel mail order company on 35th Street which was a customer. In recent decades Bridgeport has started to gentrify and the railroad tracks along with the industries they served mostly disappeared.
Bridgeport is best known as the home of the Chicago White Sox on its east side and the infamous Bubbly Creek on its western border.
Yes, the train was parked when I took this photo from the sidewalk in case anyone is wonder.
The electric switcher was made live through an HO-scale pantograph by Marklin who provided the overhead catenary wires held inplace with thin slices of rubber hose. The motor mechanism was modified with a switch to allow the locomotive to operate by either the overhead or track current. The full article describing this layout is found in RailBricks Issue #4 at www.railbricks.com .
My photographic activities on Friday 14th May 1976 began on the path that runs alongside the Hampstead Junction Railway between West End Lane and Finchley Road.
Then un-named but now called "Billy Fury Way" the path shares the railway bridge over the Midland Main Line.
The class 37 running light engine is on what was then the Up Goods Line heading towards Belsize Old Tunnel and the chap stepping over the switch diamonds appears to be the Lampman.
Some time after I took this photo preparatory work for Stage 5 of West Hampstead PSB saw the Goods Lines on the right slewed into the Fast Lines to give a remodelled layout with Fast Lines through Belsize Old Tunnel and Slow Lines through Belsize New Tunnel.
