CN SD70i no.5610 takes the lead of CN stack train Q14921 01 through Newtonville in some great afternoon light.
After hearing about the previous day's 148 being this pair of DC power, I set my sights on the Kingston Sub on this beautifully sunny 1st day of April. Historically, 148/149 would be a trio of SD75s/D8s/D9s + more almost every day, but as more GEVOs have flooded the CN roster it has become increasingly rare to find anything but a pair of ES44s or ET44s on the Kingston 148/149 loop. So when you get a pair like this these days, you gotta take advantage.

Captured this stunning example of Detroit's finest designs back in 2008 at the Pebble Beach Concours d' Elegance.
A now abolished Q194 races north into Bogart, GA in the waning hours of the afternoon. CSX's Abbeville Subdivision between Atlanta and Greenwood, SC at the time saw around 16-20 trains per day. Now, PSR has cut that number to around 10-12.
CP 281 is lead by a pair of the INRDs, where once again in Wisconsin at the head of autorack express.

While watching the Superbowl this afternoon, I reworked some of the old photos I took with Topaz JPEG to RAW AI. Just like these slow moving rocks, it 's a slow day today. Also this is one of the most bizarre places I have been to. These slow moving rocks are far more exciting than the Superbowl.

A family wedding on my mothers side. My mum is the little girl. Taken around the late 1920's.

Since seeing @crr200's shot of the Southern Crescent (flic.kr/p/jFKSp9) at this location from nearly 40 years ago, I've made it a go-to spot for morning southbounds. Until this train, I had yet to shoot the modern Crescent here, but I finally did upon learning about the Phase I heritage unit leading the Crescent. A brief delay and good dispatching worked to my advantage as Amtrak 19 winds through the curves at Red Lane just after sunrise.
All the way back to 2012. One of those shots that never got posted, but should have.
Funny how seeing a really old shot like this puts you right back there, when you took the shot.
From a decade ago. A westbound goes through the interlocking at East End Miller City. Sadly the classic NKP signals are now gone.
Went up on Cavehill one evening after work with a friend, back in March 2017, just 2 months after moving to Belfast.
Restored Southern Railway SD40 No. 3170 sits tied down along with 3 standard Norfolk Southern SD40-2s at the 105 year old Gainesville depot after completing work on P48.
morning routine at old Fürth Main Fire Station - about 2 month ago this station was vacated for a brand new fire station
When 403 is leading a train of veteran DM&IR cars it is fun to pick a spot to "hide" the trailing CN painted power. Here 403 leads a load of Minntac (U711) pellets south between Coons and Munger. This could have been a shot before 2004, if not for a tiny hint of CN red visible through the cab.
This photo was taken with my first digital camera almost 11 years ago (I was the youthful age of 14) when my family traveled out west. I can't remember if this is in Yellowstone or Glacier National Park. Might have been the Tetons or Jackson Hole? Does this look familiar to anyone?
Group portrait of mine and my mom's dogs, back in 2015. The spaniel puppy there is now a five-year old adult hunting dog. And all of the three big girls have now passed away already. Miss them. May them rest in peace in doggy heaven.
Today as I perused files nothing caught my eye for fence fFriday--but I had recently found this while going through boxes of old photos brought home last spring after cleaning out the farm house. This is me, about 2 1/2, along with my brother, climbing a fence on our family's farm. Hff and happy weekend, everyone.
Throwback Shot of the twisty branch perch that the Shorties loved so much. I sure hope the new salmon habitat works as well as they hoped. I sure miss photographing the owls here.
Another spectacular and truly “typical Mongolia” location visited during our summer tours is the wide grassland and steppe of the Bayan and Khoolt Passes. With countless photo angles, curves, gradients, and an impressive variety of trains, this area is a true paradise for railfans... especially diesel traction lovers ;)

The MRL 840 local pauses at East End Winston for a westbound. Much to our surprise and delight, the westbound turned out to be a solid consist of baretables led by an ex-ATSF Warbonnet.
The sun poked through for a bit onto Wheeling & Lake Erie "heritage" unit GP35 #108 as it leads three more GP35's and train 701 along RT43 north of Hibbetts, OH.
Wrapped for telecommunications company Telus at the time, VIA 6429 leads an eastbound departing Dorval Station back in 2007. In the foreground is the CN/CP interchange track, which was removed a few years later. The signals on the right were replaced by more modern ones a few years back.

Yeah, not much story this time. Just an old LDD Kirby I made a long time ago. I just thought I'd upload it because of all the Smash hype lately. (Also, totallyawesome_me just posted his Kirby figs and that reminded me of this.)
Okay, that's all for this post. See you around. And don't forget...
...Kirby sucks. xP
I´m not really ready for spring and such.
I want snow, and more skiing still.
Getting nostalgic and found this shot from Åre, five years ago.
