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.
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.
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.
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.
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 ;)

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.
I have moved from the area about 2 and a half years prior to this shot, but returned on this snow-less January day to my favorite spot in Onieda, NY to watch the Water Level route action of Conrail. This overhead bridge was farthest to the east. It was quiet with traffic and gave a great vantage point of approaching westbounds, like this one in the photo. Even the third track would still get some use to pass trains here during the 80's. It was also location of my very first publication. Audio Visual Designs, a railroad postcard producer, paid me $10 and 25 copies for a one time use of a shot of 4 shiny GP40-2's in 1977 on a trailer train in the same spot as this one. I was thirteen at that time.
SOMEWHERE you and I remember we came.
Stairways from the sea and our heads dripping.
Ladders of dust and mud and our hair snarled.
Rags of drenching mist and our hands clawing, climbing.
You and I that snickered in the crotches and corners, in the gab of our first talking.
Red dabs of dawn summer mornings and the rain sliding off our shoulders summer afternoons.
Was it you and I yelled songs and songs in the nights of big yellow moons?

BNSF #1931 (H1/ex-BN #7132) and #1687 (ex-BN #6356) side-by-side at Willmar Terminal. Both engines are a few of over 800 EMD SD40-2s built for the BN in the 1970s.
Back when AYMO was still called AYMO and was still a reliable midday train, I found it moseying into Shirley on a hazy afternoon. The autoracks seen strung along the curve in the background were also a fixture of AYMO in that era; nowadays, they're handled by SAED.
The standard-cab Dash 8 on the point was also a throwback, to a time when the NS roster was a lot more interesting than it is now.
BN 10720 hitches a ride on a MoW move from Trinidad to La Junta. Five cars picked up from Jansen along with an SD40 and GP39 make up today's consist.
A little throwback to over 10 years ago, Pan Am's heritage geeps head off their OCS on a deadhead move at Brattleboro, VT returning from Glory Days in White River Junction. Of course, the geeps languish on the Heber Valley, and the Fs await their next chapter in Waycross. 9/14/14
Throwback to one of my older goth looks in the past.

Looking for a throwback photo to post and ran across this one from the LSU stadium, taken back in 2014. It caught my eye because it's so unlike most of my other photos, which usually center on nature.
with that tiny crocus in 2017 :)
I already seen some crocus and snowdrops (23 Jan.) near this spot but there is no sun actually...

Thanks for all comments and favs !
In Perth, I found a tobacconist/sweet shop just like you used to find when I was a child. I thought they were all gone...
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
