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
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?

Throwback to one of my older goth looks in the past.

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.

Thanks for all comments and favs !
#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
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.
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.

Thank you very much for the visit on my photo stream.
I hope everything is well with you.

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.
Metroline VP345 (LR52BOU) & VP332 (LR52BNJ) arrive in convoy at Harrow Town Centre heading towards Harrow Weald on the 182, whilst VP323 (LR52BMU) heads away to Brent Cross.
Throwback to a time long ago when the B7 VPs were dominant in Harrow on the 140, 182, 640 & H12. In the space of two years only three VPs remain in use, that being VP614, 620 & 628, now sadly all to be withdrawn imminently following the loss of the H12 to London Sovereign on 01-Sept.
The most beautiful digital camera's design is actually a tribute to the old film cameras of yesteryears.
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.
This hardware store has been in continual operation for over 100 years in Chestnut Hill, PA. This road, Germantown Avenue, still has stone roadways and trolley car tracks (the trolleys don't run anymore). The store still has the old, creaky wooden floors and ancient shelving. And virtually anything you could want from a hardware store.
Matthiessen State Park in LaSalle County in the far western suburbs of Chicago, about two years ago.
The end of a damp October day is near as Finger Lakes Railway GS2 rumbles west through Seneca Falls, NY with there New York Central inspired painted locomotives on NYC tracks passing NYC structures.
Throwback Thursday: one of my earlier attempts at night photography, 2015, when the night bug was starting to hit me hard, lol. It’s interesting to see the changes in techniques and, more importantly, changes in my own personal taste and aesthetics over time. The details are somewhat obscure because I was using a Nikon 14-24 mm lens on a Canon camera, but I think this was done at 14 mm, f2.8, 30 sec, ISO 6400. This is also an early use of Low Level Lightning.
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...

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.
It was a beautiful summer day in Holland this sunday. Brings back good memories of the summer vibe at Guadeloupe. :-)
Just a couple that I ran across this morning from 2014 that caught my eye.
This one was on my way home from working in New Orleans. I remember slamming on the brakes to pull over and snap a few... :)
These two F7s resting in Ranlo, NC in the Lehigh Valley scheme were purchased by the P&N to lead the annual Santa Train, but ultimately were determined to be unususable and were sent away. These units were originally built for the Chicago & N'western in 1949.
With the throttle jammed over to the left, DME 6366 and friends offer quite the show as they twist up Stockton Hill on another sunny day a few years ago. 4/4/2015.
Colorful morning by the lake 🎨
I am going through my old pictures right now because I finally have some time on my hands.
Stumbled over this one from a beautiful autumn morning in 2017 and realized that I have never shared it.
So here you go!
Can you name this lake?
