I had to put in a couple of hours at work this morning but finished up by 0730. The UP has a 6 day a week Z train that hits Springfield in the 0745-0815 window - just ahead of ATK 302. Today was no exception. I made it downtown and hiked up the parking garage and heard horns to the north as I reached the top! I was happy to have an ACE leader but disappointed with the graffiti. The Alton / GM&O depot is awake as 302 was only 45 minutes ahead and passengers were milling around the platform.

We were at a spot where the guide was talking about bats.
"There aren't any here right now, but many overwinter in this section of the cave."
She went on to talk of the first explorer of the cave who when he came to this section in the gloom was suddenly touching soft fur instead of wet rock.
And then a bat flew by us to the amusement of some and the consternation of others.

I dont know what equipment he used but Im sure he got some great shots.
The Antelope Island State Park close to Salt Lake City is a great location especially during sunset as you can see. The bad thing is the park closes at sunset which means there is only a few minutes window to get some pictures.

Trying to take an image of the acorn cap and a chickadee landed on it.....twist of the camera and I got a cool image.
A pair of SD70Ms haul a PRAL (Proviso, IL-Altoona, WI) manifest up the Milwaukee Subdivision south of Butler Yard among some prairie plants and popping fall colors in perfectly golden evening light. Despite the rural appearance, this is an incredibly suburban spot, right alongside Wisconsin highway 100, Mayfair Road, on the edge of Milwaukee proper and adjacent to the Milwaukee County Zoo. The railroad enters an impressive quasi-tunnel just north of here, bringing it under the massive intersection of Mayfair and Bluemound roads.
I guess I had good timing. This was my weekly day off, Thursdays, I was working a 4 day work week, 10 hours a day. So, pretty sure this is January 5, 1978. I've heard some say that these new B&M GP40-2's were delivered in late December 1977, but it appears these three are going to be used for the first time, this day. As you can see, they are brand new. And, I always thought these were handsome units, without the Dynamic brake blister. I'm in East Deerfield yard and this is the ready track.
I was trying to capture the sunlight glistening on the waters of Loch Lomond when suddenly a swan drifted into my view – I didn’t hear it coming as I was concentrating hard on the sunlight as it bounced over the water but I caught the, almost silent, movement as it unhurriedly floated into the scene.
You don’t get a second chance at a photo like this – I could have missed it by just a millisecond (a bit of an exaggeration but you know what I mean).
They say “Time waits for no man” but the bible says – “God is the same yesterday, today and forever”.
In a hurry but will get back tomorrow to comment on your photos. Sandra
Timing is everything, a split second later and I would have missed the water droplet falling from this loon's beak. That's why we've got high speed shooting now I guess, so we don't miss the slightest detail.

I waited pretty well all year to get this shot, at this time of the year the sun is at its most southerly point (when rising off the eastern horizon) and it just lines up with this channel at Little Bay NSW.
Good timing. Not planned either. This is Fraser castle. A frequent enough visit where new ideas are required.
UP 844 arrives into Pacific, MO for a stop as the sun pops out. This was the only sun seen on the 844.
I found this strawberry flower this morning.
It will never become a strawberry.
Right place, wrong time...
I believe this is the first time I was able to catch a train coming under the DeKalb coal tower at the exact time the setting sun was shining through one of the windows of the coal tower. There is only a minute or two of opportunity for this, so even though the sun was a little muted due to clouds, the timing was just perfect on this 8-29-17 date.
Two times a year, sun lines up for this reflection on the windows of the club house. With the low clouds and clear horizon, this makes for a nice composition...

Well away from its normal morning timing, here 60010 passes Miskin in the Vale of Glamorgan with 6B13 10:05 Robeston Sidings to Westerleigh Murco. Some recent bankside vegetation clearance has finally opened up this view once again.
