Shot this one last fall. Got nice color to the foliage off in the distance. I have a fascination with railroad tracks. Maybe it's the little boy inside me.
Taken at the end of the Piako County Tramway in Waiorongomai Valley. All of the forest around this tram track and back up the slopes of the valley were cleared back in the early 1880's in the hopes of mining the gold in the Kaimai mountain range. Didn't work out so well for the miners apparently. The rock proved too hard to mine effectively so it was all shut down in the early 1900's. Fortunately for us the forests have regenerated quite fast and we're left with all these mining relics strewn across a valley clad in native bush.
Two of the break heads and 5km of the track are still in tact. Well the bit in the photo is looking pretty rusted though. If you're reasonably fit and its not too wet you can walk/climb/crawl up Butlers incline, one of the three inclines on the track.
6 exposures (no idea why 6 instead of my usual 7 or 9)

Deghosted in Photoshop and fixed the sky.
Close up of a leaf, don't ask me the plant, just hought the converging lines looked interesting. Aperture priority at f4 in full sunlight.
One of my other ideas for the background assignment (my first will be my actual submission). This is just my sb-24 bounced into an umbrella at camera left, balanced with the sunlight coming from behind her and to the right. It kills the harsh shadows on her face pretty well, and the sun serves as a hair light.
The same issue exists here with color balance - I didn't have a light enough gel at the time to get somewhere between daylight and CTO. I don't think this one is as noticeable, however.
Running 100 minutes late, this Network Rail track maintenance machine had run from Stafford and was destined for Horsham. It is seen near Betchworth with the chalk cliffs of the North Downs behind.

More track work had started on the Hillside and Northern! Today, with help from Mike Broshears, I got the spline built and placed for the back loop to get to the engine shop. I also got the engine shop lead connected to the placed switch!
Track plan for the layout. Created with Track Designer (an oldie but a goody) and edited in Photoshop.

Restriction markers protect the 6th Avenue and 6th Street grade crossings for the UP in Rockford IL while work is being done to the crossing signals. Visible in the distance on the left is the historic C&NW East Rockford Depot at 7th Street. The building on the right is the old freight house. This is part of the UP Rockford Industrial Lead off of the Belvidere Subdivision.

The timing for this was a little tricky... you can see the rock on the tie near my foot. It was there so I knew when to look up with a resolute but slightly anxious expression.

It's not often you get the chance to be up close to infrastructure, but with the Tasrail mainline closed at Coles beach, while occupied by a shiny pair of Tasrail's locomotives, no-one seemed to care.
The Don River Railway's 50th anniversary was as good a reason as any to head back to Tasmania. Unlike my previous trip a few months ago, this time would be mostly for trains - the DRR's anniversary in Devonport, plus a couple of days either side for Tasrail chasing. 16 February 2025
