After the L091, the four of us out there set up for a EB Intermodal. (Like L091), a WB Intermodal beats the EB to the crossing by about 5-10 seconds, which was good except for the one guy who stayed on the other side...
Just as a cloud moves over the sun, X31 leads B75 and B80 through Mywee as they head South to Vic Dock in Melbourne for unloading as 9374 from Tocumwal in Southern NSW.

In a rare moment of good timing, a westbound NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line train passes the hind end of a slowly moving NS 18N at Hillside, NJ.

Had I been late by a couple of minutes or positioned differently, I would not have been able to capture this. Indeed, everything is about the Perfect Timing.

I actually had to take a break every minute from looking at the screen while processing as the blur made me dizzy but i kind of like it because of it :).
My wife sent me out to get her a bowl of chiil from Steak & Shake just as #145 was passing thru Starne Interlocker on the east side of Springfield. This gave me just the right amount of time to get down to Cockrell Lane, nail a shot of the train in gorgeous late summer light, get the chilli, and then return back home with my wife none the wiser. Perfect timing indeed!

NS 9630
After 18 months without any real urbexing, just a little minor trespassing here and there, I resolve to photograph an abandoned psych hospital. I roll up and there’s maybe 5,000 firefighters in the neighborhood for a funeral of one their own killed on a military mission, while a few hundred police officers are directing traffic and using the hospital grounds for overflow parking.
What timing.

The station clock at Worcester Shrub Hill reads 11.36 and a bit, and 66550 has already ambled through right time, 11.36 with an engineers train from Malvern Wells to Eastleigh. RTT had it as one minute late, but I'll take the station clock's version, not least so my title is correct! Sunday 26.6.16

To everyone that has this cracker of a sunday off, have a wonderful day. I wish I were one of you….

Timing was perfect on the first morning of our trip. The clouds were breaking at sunrise and that was the last of the clouds that day. I seen that the light and sky was spectacular and all that I needed was an old building or something for a subject. Then we rounded a corner and seen this house for the first time! Why can't they be around every corner?
This is within a mile of a deserted town called Star Store, Missouri in Macon County. Didn't see a store, but there were a few abandoned houses.
Anyone out there photographing trains wishes for the appropriate lighting conditions for their approaching subject. Having the sun shine on your subject can be a good a thing or a bad thing depending on many variables. I was happy to see the sun poke its nose up over the mountains on the east bank of the Hudson River as this train approached my perch. Its 6:17am on a Saturday morning as Q156 brings its train over Doodletown Bight Trestle and onto Iona Island at Bear Mountain N.Y. C40-9W 9048, AC44CW 275, ES44AC 3092. 05-18-2013. Howard Kent Jr.
After waiting just west of Wyoming CN 8886 and 2665 get their manifest rolling west again towards Sarnia just a few miles away. This train had been sitting out here on the single track for quite some time and waited just long enough for the sun to clear the tree tops. This was a great start to a great trip to Ontario.
Single shot astro landscapes can require tricky timing, like catching the only passing vehicle at night while using a self timer, during the changing light of astronomical twilight! Tamron lens, processed in Lightroom with daylight white balance.
It's not often I can say that - and two good catches in a day is also going some for me.
On my way home from Haydock, I decided to make a short stop near Knutsford, and have a look at what was passing on the M6. Having parked the car, I walked on to the bridge, to be met by this thing bowling down the sliproad onto the M6, and with not a second to spare, I grabbed my camera from my shoulder, and pointed it over the parapet, in the hope of capturing something. I didn't think it would even be able to focus in such a short time, let alone get a picture anywhere near the centre of the frame, but the result was more than acceptable !
For those that don't know the vehicle, it is not a Duple 320, but was built by the man at the wheel in his own workshop. Fortunately, Andrew Wareing owns a firm that manufactures and erects commercial buildings, so he had the facilities and knowledge to be able to take on the task. The base chassis is former Western SMT MSJ 388P, a Seddon Pennine 7 / Alexander 'T' type. Acquired around the time of the Duple factory closure, he was able to source enough frames and panels from them to take on this project at his premises in Wrea Green, between Preston and Blackpool. The resultant vehicle has since been used to transport Andrew and one of his collection of restored cars to classic car events all over the country. I am guessing that they were returning home from Oulton Park on this day.
As unique vehicles go, this one takes some beating !
55 009, Alycidon heads north at Marholm crossing as the only cloud for miles around keeps the train from getting to hot.

Finished work today at 10:30 and oh what was due at 10:45... only 1001.

Einstein predicted that time slows down the faster you travel and the time-dilation hypothesis has since been proven by flying atomic clocks on aircraft.
The three fastest human beings at the moment are NASA astronaut Anne McClain, Canadian Space Agency astronaut David Saint-Jacques (pictured) and Roscosmos astronaut Oleg Kononenko who are orbiting Earth on the International Space Station at a speed of around 28 800 km/h.
They are travelling so fast that they will return home to Earth after their six-month spaceflight 0.007 seconds younger than if they had stayed with their feet on the ground.
But how do astronauts perceive time in space? Space Station crew report that time seems to speed up in microgravity so European researchers are trying to find out more by immersing astronauts in virtual reality and testing their reaction times.
A virtual reality headset is used to block external visual cues that could influence the results. The experiment focuses on how astronauts estimate time duration as well as their reaction times. They are asked gauge how long a visual target appears on screen. Their reaction times to these prompts are recorded to process speed and attention.
The astronauts run the experiment before flight, on the International Space Station and again when they land to compare results. ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst was the first test subject to take part in this experiment in 2018. Anne and David did a session in February in ESA’s Columbus laboratory.
Understanding how time is perceived in space is important as astronauts are often required to conduct precision work where timing is everything. This research in microgravity will help reveal clues as to what helps keep our brains ticking the seconds accurately.
