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?

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.
Wisconsin & Southern's T004 slowly enters the Waukesha Sub at Slinger with a throwback lash up, consisting of WAMX GP38-2 3895 & SD40-2s 4175 & 4177. For many years now, this train has been powered by former UP SD60Ms, but that was not the case this morning
Part of my small collection of old cameras. The Brownie Hawkeye is special because my grandfather had that type of camera when I was a kid and I was fascinated with him documenting the life of our family.
365: The 2017 Edition

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.
This week, we go back to the last UP OCS to visit the area. Long before talks of a buyout, 066 climbs back up the mountain at MG on their westbound trip from an event in Harriman, NY. Maybe this might actually happen again someday... 6/4/18
Throwback to one of my older goth looks in the past.

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

The most beautiful digital camera's design is actually a tribute to the old film cameras of yesteryears.
#throwbackthursday got me thinking and I realized that it's kind of funny that my good camera prior to about 2016 was a film point and shoot. I got it out over my cheap digicams when I wanted higher quality photos that I didn't want to lose to the things that digital files are susceptible to. It's funny, that's a big part of why I still prefer film for family events despite having a great DSLR now.
Camera: Samsung Maxima 105GL
Film: Fuji Superia 400
I worked for a small town newspaper many years ago. This large tumbleweed rolled through town and my boss had me hold it up for this photo for the paper. I think I developed the film and printed the picture too - we had a staff of three! Fun memories :)
MRL's infamous Gas Local is seen hauling ass as they approach Dixon, MT. I was fortunate enough to be able to take a trip to the MRL as my high school graduation gift, and the memories made on that trip still live in my mind to this day. I yearn for the day I will be able to go back out there, as it was truly an amazing experience. Recently I have been diving back into my photos I took on that trip, so expect more to come!
One thing I fondly remember of him was he is
an attention seeker. He doesn't stop pawing me
until he gets the attention. He would sometimes stand up
touch my shoulders ( when I'm seated down ) if he would not get attention pawing me leg. If I stay much longer through the
night , he normally stays with me. If on my laptop. he stays / sits beside my laptop or even wants between me and my laptop, which can be annoying but sweet, just attention seeking.He often try to lay his little head on my arm like a pillow whilst I'm typing. If I stay much longer til the morning, there my cat stays with me. I go to bed , he goes to bed. He sleeps at the furniture near me or down the bottom on my bed, by my feet.
I missed him a lot. One reassuring thought, he picked me well to adopt him . He was given love and care in the years being with us . I cooked him fresh cat food and his chicken fav. I was his bedding . I was also his chef :) I missed my fur bag friend so much, he is a lovely soul. It was the end of him, but it's not the end to nothingness. Sometime in the future , when everything will be renewed, I will see him again.

I meant to upload today but I always get this messages of "retry" a hundred times . An ongoing flickr upload problem left for many days. This has been a problem for weeks to some people, but flickr haven't done to fixed to fix it .
If you have this experience out there, you're not alone.
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.
Some younger or newer W&LE fans seeing this will have a hard time believing that you used to be able to see across the field from Gambrinus yard to the main. Now the main is a narrow trough through a forest. This is a southbound train bypassing the yard bound for Brewster in October 1984 several years before this was all sold to the W&LE. The observant will see the roundhouse still in place off to the far left.
It was a beautiful summer day in Holland this sunday. Brings back good memories of the summer vibe at Guadeloupe. :-)
One from what feels like a millennia ago, well, 2014 :) I spent 90 minutes in the freezing cold Lake Wanaka with leaky waders, seemed like a good idea at the time. Anyway, this is one of the shots captured on that fortunate night.
To remember a time when sitting on a tree wasn't so offensive...

Exactly 5 years ago today, I visited Japan for just 5days.
I visited my birth place too. I was born in Kakunodate town.
Kakunodate is a former castle town and samurai stronghold in today's Akita Prefecture. While Kakunodate Castle no longer remains, the town is famous for its samurai tradition and its hundreds of weeping cherry trees (shidare-zakura).
Back in the late 90s and early 2000s, Guilford has gotten some fame as one of the last holdouts for GP9s in the northeast, with most of the local jobs around Waterville being covered by a pair of them. Fast forward fifteen years, and most of them have been retired, but somehow, three have somehow managed to stick around, and two have even been painted in heritage colors. Two of the three survivors, Boston & Maine painted 77, and Guilford painted 72, haul SAPPI-3 west along the Kennebec River, filling the hillsides with the sweet music of their 567 engines.
