After experiencing air issues in Manville Yard, the Q410-14 dug their mid-train DPU out (ES44AH 1776) and placed it on the head end of the train to rectify the issue. This caused significant delays on the Trenton Line, which allowed them to make daylight on the River Sub. Pictured is Q410 passing the Q157 at Ridgefield Park with all three Spirit engines on the head end.
Etta (& Kahn like grass but somehow it hasn't thrived with them on it! The black plastic mat is intended for cars to drive on while letting grass grow through :I
Daily Dog Challenge: Temporary

every morning this place is filled up with fog. this mythical phenomenon is created in the following manner: the bottom of the basin, although the surface is dry, contains a lot of groundwater, and the evaporation of the water over the night forms fog.

Louis Vuitton trunks stacked six stories high inside their temporary location on E. 57th St. Looks like a zipper.
Was experimenting with the Arista Ultra 100, since I had some (major) film defects the last time I used the 120 format. Went out in a early AM toward a local trail, and thematically tried to include shadows and reflections as much as I could. Using semistand development, there were definitely film defects around, which I guess is the price one pays for using budget film. While it can be corrected in post, usually I'm not a big fan of it. I still like the tonality of Ultra, and the price, but may have to transition toward a higher price point film to avoid said issues. Thanks for all those flickerans who continue to inspire - you really do help all of us keep trying!

It can happen to anyone, from any walk of life.
20 years ago I had a career that I was incredibly proud of, saving lives, I had a home, mortgage, car and disposable income. I was confident and, even though I hate to blow my own trumpet, I was incredibly good at the work that I did.
I was, however, bullied, harassed, abused, belittled and ostracised by management and many colleagues in a toxic environment where this behaviour had spread like a cancer. This went on daily for 13 years. I thought that I was 'ignoring' it and just knuckling down in my work. I didn't know, until it was too late, that this was damaging both my physical and mental health.
After some time off due to a stress breakdown I returned and the bullying turned into a witch hunt. They succeeded. My mental and physical health had been destroyed. I was wrongly advised to resign by a union that had representatives embedded in management. I was too unwell to pursue any means of recompense.
Losing my career lead to my first Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy attack. This one was nearly fatal.
I have suffered from Complex Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) for at least 20 years as a direct result of this. Only finally receiving help for the condition last year after years of medical denial because the establishment at the time did not understand the connection between non-life threatening instances and PTSD despite mounting evidence. Thankfully it is much better understood today.
The bullies took my career, my confidence, my identity, my physical health, my mental health and now they have taken my relationship and my home. My ex being unable to cope with my PTSD and reacting to it in a way that was making it worse in a cycle that just destroyed our relationship.
Now, unable to work and unable to claim benefits for the moment, unwell, terrified and struggling at times to cope with basic life things, I am facing this horrendous situation that is so daunting there are times that my thoughts go to a very dark place.
I never imagined any of this would happen to me. I was on top of the world back in the early 2000s. The best time of my entire life.
Maybe I deserved this. Maybe I did something terrible in a former life. I don't know. I can't make sense of it.
I don't want to give up just yet. I want to fight back. I just have so little actual physical support. PTSD can cause isolation. Distrust. Withdrawal.
I have lost my few best friends since moving to Scotland for numerous reasons outside of my control. My family are 300 miles away and offer just loving thoughts. I am on my own.
On Friday I will be completely on my own for the first time in 20 years. This time without the confidence and abilities I had back then. I have to try and find them but without safety, comfort and familiarity I face an impossible task. It can take monumental effort just to cook a simple meal. PTSD is a terrible thing to have.
I am sharing my story as I don't know when or how I will return to Flickr.
Photography has been my recovery. My saviour from PTSD. An adrenaline kick from street photography, the excitement of the edit when you return home. Sharing my photographs with you and taking time to enjoy your photographs. The Flickr routine has kept my sanity and been an important part of my day for years now. I fully intend to return but the odds are against me at least for the moment.
Some of you wanted to help by donating towards the expensive Internet costs I will face in temporary housing.
I hate asking for help but please know that I am incredibly grateful for the help that I have received, both financially and otherwise. Just knowing that people care is a help in itself.
If you wish to keep in touch with me via WhatsApp while I am unable to get my PC online then please Flickrmail me your contact details. (bearing in mind that over the next few days my time is limited).
My PC will be packed tomorrow so I may make one more post before I go. I'll make sure it is a happier picture.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I am profoundly thankful for the friendships and acquaintances that I have made here. You are all wonderful, awesome people. Thank you.
Homelessness can happen to anyone.
A look at the downtown Broken Arrow on Main Street getting ready for the Rumble in Rose District. The fight ring was assembled on the corner of Commercial and Main. Temporary fence to keep out those with no ticket.
Nothing better than getting lost in the woods on a foggy day, looking for a particular composition. Early autumn that already gives me satisfaction, waiting for the most beautiful colors of the year.
the snow-wave reformed in this morning’s snow and wind — but now conditions are turning to rain and it will soon be wilting again
This waterfall is dry most of the year. But after getting more than 3 inches of rain just the day before, it was flowing nicely.
Last August the vital Rheintalbahn between Karlsruhe and Basel was closed for two weeks in order to connect a long delayed segment of a new bypass around the city of Rastatt. In 2017 during the construction of said bypass, a tunnel under the existing mainline caved in closing the line for several weeks as railway undertakings scrambled to reroute their trains on poorly suited bypass routes, often with diesel power. For this planned closure, many lessons from the 2017 incident were taken into account and alternative routes were set up for freight. The most interesting diversion was via the French left Rhine railway via the border station in Lauterbourg. The line, while double track on the French side, is only used for relatively sparse commuter services and sees only a small amount of local freight. During the Rastatt closure, months of planning and preparation allowed for approximately approximately 10 trains a day to use the corridor. The trains were organized by a group of Swiss rail undertakings, with locomotives largely from SNCF Fret. Each train operated with both a German and French speaking driver, allowing for operation without crew changes at the borders.
For photographers the most interesting location was by far the station at Lauterbourg which is still controlled by mechanical semaphore signals. After a quick stop, BB 75000 475124 departs Lauterbourg with a SBB 482 in tow.

Thank you very much for your faves and comments!
Tufts of mountain grass catch the last rays of light on the snow-clad slopes of Beinn-y-Phott as the chain of summits extending from Snaefell all the way to North Barrule are beautifully illuminated in the distance. This was taken a few weeks ago in what was probably the last patch of winter weather we can expect for the Isle of Man for this season.
On a completely different note, I woke up to the sad news of the passing of the astrophotographer Alyn Wallace this morning. I’m genuinely shocked and saddened by this, particularly as he was so young. I didn’t personally know Alyn, but I’ve followed his photography adventures and journey keenly for the last 6 years or so. He was an inspiring, engaging and extremely talented photographer who without a doubt had a profound impact on many thousands of photographers across the globe. Half the battle with photography is finding that motivation to drag yourself out the front door to face what are usually uncomfortable environmental conditions head on. Watching his adventures never failed to fill me to the brim with photographic enthusiasm to do this. A reminder if we ever needed it that life is a fragile and fleeting thing. RIP Alyn ✨
