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!

After going to investigate a South Shore Freight train, we ended up in Michigan City where we found a quad of GP38-2s at Carroll Avenue. We waited for them to make a pull, until they started shoving into an industry. We then staked out by the industry for who knows how long listening to the song of 4 roots blown 645s and a RS3L, until they eventually headed out.
Just another shot of this cool but homely veteran unit still toiling away in the far northern reaches of New England.
NECR 1750 (EMD SD9 blt. Apr. 1959) is seen switching back and forth over North Elm Street at the south end of the old Central Vermont Itay Yard at about MP 0.5 on the New England Central Railroad's Swanton Subdivision.
The 1750 is rather unattractive with its chopped nose, but sure is cool as the only operating example of this classic model in New England. None of the traditional New England roads ever purchased any SD9s, preferring instead the 4-axle GP9 model which were quite common. The 1750 was an original Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway unit were it served for 39 years as their number 161 before being sold to Railtex in 1998 and transferred to the Georgia Southwestern. It was around that time that its original high short hood was cut down and was renumbered 1900. It was transferred by then parent RailAmerica around 2005 to the Connecticut Southern and then came to the NECR around 2009. For the past dozen years she has been a stalwart switcher though her sibling, NECR 1901 (ex DMIR 168), that came at the same time has since been retired.

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 long abandoned section of track and switch arm for switching the train onto a different track out in the middle of the California desert.

The only Escanaba & Lake Superior Baldwin we saw move was this RS12 switching at the C&NW interchange at Wells in June 1980.
Mass Central GP38-2 1750 switches a plastic customer on the "Ware River Route" in Ware, MA. I bet people from Ware are sick of those jokes.

2009 is at the end of street running on 11th street and will head over to 10th street on its way out of town.
Switching gears for a while! Won't have IPS consistently for the next week! However, every chance I can, will check-in to see what you see! I have learned more from all of you than any photography book on my shelf! And you all are soooo much more user-friendly! ;-) Many Thanks!
