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.

Another throwback to the ol' gallery. This was the time I got all my friends (Some were more acquaintances) to fit on the double-decker couch.
It's a bit of a reminder of all the friends I had then. Unfortunately a lot of them are gone now... So, here's hoping I'll be making some friends here! :D
Let's rewind the clock to 2008 and head back to the Midwest. A pair of ex-Conrail motors heads up a Gibson-bound autorack train on the IHB. Grasselli Tower was preserved and moved to the Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum in 2009.
For Throwback Thursday.
My father's friend, Eddie VanVaulkenburg. He couldn't read or write, except to sign his name but as a hobby, built homemade tractors. He didn't simply modify old trucks to create a "doodlebug" or makeshift tractor. He actually built these totally from scratch and his own design. This is one of his early ones and I wish I had some pictures of his later ones which were hard to distinguish from factory made machines. He worked as a janitor and night watchman at the tool and die machine shop where my father worked and they allowed him to build these there in his off time.
This week we are going back to the last day of 1996, and to KD 322 at the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre, dressed for route 76A.
Route 76A started operating between Tallaght and Blanchardstown Hospital around 1989. In late-1990 it was extended to Blakestown, while the southern terminus was moved to The Square in Tallaght. In 1996 the northern terminus was changed to the Blanchardstown Centre. At the same time Fettercairn or Balrothery became the southern terminus for different departures, and remained so for about 15 years. In 2019 Dublin Bus transferred the route to Go-Ahead Ireland. The route ceased to operate in November 2023. It was partially replaced by routes W2 and W4 under Bus Connects.
KD 322 was new to CIE in 1983. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 2000.

One year ago, I snapped this shot of a foraging Zebra Dove at a beach in Kauai. I didn't realize how cool the composition was until now. The low-angle shot and the grass blades framing the zebra finch, all made me feel as if I were foraging with that Zebra Dove.
Looking back in my camera roll also made me realize how much I improved. Many of my photos then were overexposed and out of focus. Also, why did I need to take 50 photos of the same plant? This makes me proud when I say my current camera roll is so much cleaner.
..to a couple months ago. Forgot to post this neat consist that was on the point of a LINGAL manifest, caught in Burlington, Ia.
Throwback Thursday to those hot Summer, halcyon days in Amsterdam. While we were there, we had the opportunity to experience a local record-breaking heatwave. The mercury hit 42°C for a couple of days straight. This week we have the polar opposite, where temperatures are barely going above -15°C during the daytime.
September 18, 1999 brings me back to Scott St watching trains with my grandparents. One of my better attempts at using a camera at the ripe old age of 9....
Little did I know at that time that the memories spent with my grandpa watching trains would so drastically steer my life in the direction it has. If it weren't for him, who knows where the hell I'd be in life. I still smile every now and then when I'm at work passing spots that we would watch trains together. Man, I miss them...
Photographed almost 10 years ago, many camera bodies and lenses ago. I used this image as the logo on my website for many years. I no longer have my website, because most of my sales are generated through Flickr, 500px, Getty Images and Facebook.
Thank you to everyone that follows my photography journey <3 It's been a blast and I've learned so much. I still have so much to learn and photograph.
A special thank you to Graham (Hammerchewer) who was always so generous with his time and expertise. I learned quite a bit from you. More than I did when I took photography courses in college :)
I had no idea what I was doing when I snapped this pix!

Just another take on this scene for the trip album from last May's adventure on the Range.
This would ultimately be the last train of our time on the Iron Range (for now) and it was quite the stunning way to end our time here. We'd manage it at three spots before calling it a day and heading to Duluth for a celebratory dinner and beers down on the waterfront
A U790 train of empty hoppers is heading to Minntac for another load of pellets to turn around and take back to Two Harbors. The train is crossing the fill over Embarsass Lake and approaching South Biwabik at about MP 58.6 on modern day CN's North Division Iron Range Subdivision mainline. The standard three pack of ex CNW C40-8s have a train of modern CN era ore cars (over 1000 of which were acquired between 2009 and 2018) on the historic former Duluth and Iron Range Railroad which was the other component half of the DMIR created in 1938 when the two roads long owned by US Steel were officially merged. Today Biwabik is home to a 6118 ft passing siding and a small little used yard, but in the old raw ore days it was bustling as a marshaling point for the mine branches seemingly radiating in all directions as well as the main continuing into Virginia. They will pull down past the remains of the yard and pause at the north (compass west) end to wait for a meet with a loaded southbound U789 counterpart.
This is a region that should need no introduction to even the most casual fan as the Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway is in a word legendary. I won't bore you with pages of history as I couldn't do the road or region justice anyway. It simply needs to be experienced for oneself. But I will direct you to two resources. Absolutely check out the fabulous historical information here: www.missabe.com/

Tay và môi anh sao lạnh ?
Mắt và tình anh sao buồn ?!
Tôi chập chờn trong cơn chớm ngủ với ý nghĩ kì lạ đó .
Con người đó có một thân nhiệt thật kì lạ .…
Going back (again) to my Alaska 2008 trip. I'm on a tram in Juneau overlooking this little boat called a YACHT. :)
One another beauty of Mongolian summertime.

An appropriate throwback as we sadly bid farewell to the highhood GP50's. NS 7047 and a now likely stored B32-8 switch out a ethanol train at the north end of Doraville Yard in Doraville, GA in 2010. The 7047 was one of the last active 50's but is now a GP33ECO abomination.
Sometimes it's fun to go back and re-edit pictures that you took when you were 16. I'm seriously craving some creative picture taking time. Focusing on class and graded photo projects can really take the creativity and fun out of making art. My goal for this upcoming break is to take photos just because, with no reason other than to marvel at the beauty and goodness of God.
I've been re-watching The Mandalorian as I’ve been building lately and I was reminded of a few photos I took for Blocks Magazine Issue 72 back in 2020 that I never posted online before.
For this image, the Jawa are at it again! This time a tribe of them are spaceshipjacking Din Djarin’s beloved Razor Crest for parts in the mountains of Arvala-7 (maybe they intend on selling them on BrickLink). Good thing he has his trusty Amban Phase Pulse Blaster with him.
