is powerful when you have complete control over it.
This is Satomi Ohashi, professional model and student,... she has full control over the switch.
The first time i saw her i thought "ooh, pretty girl,... now where is that model dammit, she's running late!"
when she's not "on" she's as down to earth as you can get,... modest, lovely and even just a bit shy,... you'd never guess that she's worked with some amazing people.
But once the camera comes out,...
flip goes that switch,...
and it's like she opens the floodgates and lets something from deep inside out,...
and it knocked me on my ass.
I've never been so happy to have bruised a coccyx.
edit: I'm not quite sure what happened in the lower right corner,... it's possible it was a shadow from a shelf in the shop window.
Just a simple shot I kind of like of this switcher framed up nicely between the short waving cane and the tall swaying palms.
Sunday morning dawned clear and dry so after a great Cuban breakfast I checked out the shop then drove down south of town for some morning shots of the east side of the Clewiston Mill, the beating heart of US Sugar Corporation and it's truly impressive rail operation. I hiked down from Davidson Road east of tracks along the levee a half mile or so where I could look west at Sugar Junction and the mill yard.
If you have a long lens this is a really cool spot to pull in some of the action and photograph locomotives that don't get out on the road. This 400mm telephoto shot illustrates how modern this railroad is with a solar panel and signal visible for a DTMF controlled power switch of which there are hundreds on this railroad. And it's also quite clear that no one is in the cab if this loco which is working a dump job at the mill and is being operated by remote control.
USSC 203 is an EMD MP15T blt. Oct. 1984 as Seaboard System 1214, which wore its same number on CSXT before coming here sometime after 2015.

The Morning Helena Switch (Y HEL0601 29 A) is in the process of setting out their cars at Helena Yard in Helena MT, March 29, 2018. MRL SD40-2XR was built for the C&NW in January 1966 as an SD40. Nikon F, f2 50mm, 1/500th at f5.6, Fuji Acros 100.
Maryland Midland's UBHF pulls onto the Hanover Subdivision at Highfield with their pickup from the CSX local. Once the crew clears the switch in the distance, the CSX job will couple up to the cars that the Midland has left for them. After the local clears, the Midland will back up to clear the switch and then proceed east back to the yard at Union Bridge MD.

Fully Charged Live! returned to the Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre at the end of April 2022. Although no buses were on display at the show, the park & ride services provided a real mix of vehicles to enjoy including brand new electric Yutongs for Newport Bus, rare Higer Steeds from Big Lemon, and a number of local independent operators pooling together to provide a link to the main car park in Rushmoor Arena.
A colour changing hydrangea. Flowers start as pale green, then creamy white and ends up pink. Beautiful flowers and, as you can see it attracts red spider mites too!

The A&M Sand Switcher begins its day switching the various sand plants around Springdale and Rogers. The Monnett Turn and Rogers Local will go on duty within the hour followed by the Springdale Local later that morning. The Sand Switcher religiously uses #32, originally BRC #601 and one of six ALCO C424s delivered to the Belt.
A pair of UP MP15ACs (both originally MILW) slowly approach 9th St. while switching ARM-DAT in KC's West Bottoms. The actual office for ARM-DAT is off camera to the left, but this long-ago vacant building, which obviously was a bar or liquor store, provides a more interesting view, especially with the old Schlitz sign.
The track actually runs down the middle of State Line Rd (out of frame to the right), so depending on which side of the locomotive the crew would get off on, they would be either on the KS side or the MO side.
Pabst Brewing Company now produces Schlitz and Old Milwaukee.
A pair of IC geeps lead CN local L508 onto the single track at Byron, WI on the railroad's Waukesha Sub. The train will stop ahead to begin work at the Quad plant located here.
Say hello to Mr Conflicted. Kaji is student council shacho, but has an alternate life outside which he hates but has no choice but to live out. More soon :)
Kaji is a Switch Milhwa on a Little Monica type A body :)
A long abandoned section of track and switch arm for switching the train onto a different track out in the middle of the California desert.
