A little more playtime with the Polaroid Transfer effect. I like it.
Pescadero State Beach, between Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz, California.
Transfer 1 crosses over the Mississippi River at Camden. Though it's a shame that the SOO power that once roamed these rails is gone now, it's at least nice to see older EMDs still making appearance every so often.
A northbound transfer from Inman Yard in Atlanta leans into the curve at Austell, bound for Whitaker Yard just behind me.
The short distance with a long train makes the transfers in town rather easy to capture more than once. Here we see the BNSF-KCS transfer rolling through the bottoms as it slowly progresses to Knoche.
Polaroid Image Transfer

A Polaroid transfer from several years ago.
I'd planned to someday make some more of these transfers using the Fuji instant pack film. In checking its availability this week I discovered it was discontinued in 2016. (I don't exactly keep current on such things) I'll post the half dozen transfer prints I've not yet put on Flickr, and that it appears will be the end of it.
Heavy snow and frigid temperatures have turned the West Bottoms into a winter wonderland as "Run 20", CP train B92, eases approaches The Incline as it eases up Track 79 of the KCT North-South Corridor at Old Union Depot Interlocking en route from BNSF's Argentine Yard with a transfer for Knoche Yard, the KCS-CP Joint Agency Facility. An SD30C-ECO and an SD60 are the working power along with a few CP and KCS motors being returned home. 2/6/21.
The evening transfer from BNSF's 28th Street Yard to Rice's Point in Duluth sported a pair of SDs here on June 5, 2019. BNSF 1568 and 1986 catch a few rays of light right before sun ducks behind the hills of Duluth. Even the former Santa Fe SD45-2 (now a SD40-2R) leader looks rather diminutive on the wooden approach trestle to the Grassy Point swingbridge, crossing here from Wisconsin to Minnesota.
On a cold evening at Blue Island Junction, Indiana Harbor Belt 4019 leads what is probably a Blue Island - Clearing transfer while the tail end of a CSX ethanol train on the Barr Sub clears the junction.
Before transferring to Accra airport for the flight back home, we revisited Aburi Botanical Gardens.
The missing tails indicated how the fairy hairstreak escaped from the predators.
At first, I thought it's the usual large fairy hairstreaks encountered these days, but it turned out to be a new species to me according to the underside marking.
It's not a fresh individual and I only had the underside picture, but probably either Hypolycaena nigra (Black Fairy Hairstreak) or Hypolycaena hatita (Common Fairy Hairstreak).
Based on the discussion of other Hypolycaena photos in Flickr, I would guess it's Hypolycaena nigra, which has a much clearer discal band on the hindwing that is well defined even at the tornal area.
Any suggestion/correction on the ID is much appreciated.

The narrow gauge network of the Tömörkény fish farm is (was) one of a kind. Next to the Fehér-tavi ("White-lake") network this was the last one with the sole purpose of serving the nearby lakes with tiny freight trains for feeding juvenile fishes, and transporting the harvested ones back to base.
Sadly, the fish farm's - and with that the special narrow gauge railway's - life has come to an end: the fisherman packed their stuff at the end of March, then the premises were taken over by Kiskunság National Park on the 15th of April, 2021.
In 2020 November, on a sunny but windy Saturday a couple of railway fanatics visited Tömörkény to see this very special place for themselves, and also try to capture some of the magic in the form of memories and pixels alike.
A huge thanks to the organisers, be sure to check out the amazing photo report by Endre Barta here.
After waiting on one at Lydia Ave, CPKC train YKK12-06, or "Run 12", proceeds west on Main Track 3 of the UP KC Metro Sub at ASB JCT with a pair of KCS Geep's leading the way. This is a daily transfer job operating between CPKC's Knoche Yard and UP's 18th St. Yard. 12/6/24.
CP Rail SW1200 8171 rolls into a rather packed Soo Line yard in Sault Ste. Marie MI. with a transfer run with many wood chip cars from Soo ON. in late October 1976.

A familiar under-hat face appears from the cab of 37402 as it powers away from Bransty with Tuesday's 2C47.
Ash train from the pocarady power station to the dump yard. We saw the practise that the ash waggons were transfered from pocarady power station with diesel and taken over by the Skodas on the electrified line from Cerady to the dump yard near Uhelna Most
Czech Republic, Most, April 2016
TRRA 2006 leads Terminal 100 east at Willows Tower in East St. Louis, IL, bound for the A&S at Gateway.
A pair of KCS four axle units, a GP40-3 and a GP38-2, are the power for today's edition of "Run 12", CPKC train YKK12-10, leaving NS's Avondale Yard on The Inbound at 10th St with a transfer bound for CPKC's Knoche Yard. 7/10/25.
Small piece of fish left over from Ma's snack. Pops does the mid air transfer beak to talon. I was shooting his take off, and this was the bonus. Yep, it's a composite.
Vermont Rail System's Washington County Railroad crew has run thru downtown Montpelier and is arriving at Barre Transfer at about MP 3.2 on the WACR's Montpelier and Barre Division with a cut of empties pulled from the NECR interchange yard at Montpelier Junction. They will set them over on the old main (track to left) then return to retrieve the loads they'd brought down from Barre and left in town earlier and deliver them to the NECR yard.
Red VTR 206 (a GP38-3 206 blt. Oct. 1969 as SOU 2718 and originally a high nosed straight GP38) and green GMRC 804 (a GP9r blt. Oct. 1955 as NW 13) are the assigned power on this little outpost which is isolated from the rest of the Vermont Rail System network.
Historically this location was known as Barre Transfer because here the rails of the Central Vermont, Barre Railroad and Montpelier and Wells River all met. The train is arriving at the east end of a nearly mile and a half stretch of trackage which was rebuilt on the former M&WR right of way four years ago. This grade had been bereft of rails for 55 years when trains returned in 2021, and this was my first time photographing it. You can read more about why this happened here: vrs.us.com/reviving-a-historic-route-to-improve-service/non
The trackage coming in from the left is ex Central Vermont, first laid in 1875 when the 1849 branch into the capital city was extended to Barre. The track diverting to the right once led another 35 miles east to a junction with the Boston & Maine / Canadian Pacific Conn River Mainline at Wells River. Opened in 1873, trains ran until November 1956 when the route was abandoned and the rails removed except for an 1800 ft stub on this end extending east from this switch to a couple long closed customer sidings in East Montpelier.
In 1957 Sam Pinsly's Montpelier & Barre purchased the CV branch and he quickly consolidated it and the old Montpelier & Wells River (later Barre & Chelsea) routes between downtown Montpelier and Barre. The state purchased these rails in 1980 when the M&B petitioned for total abandonment, and they've had multiple contract operators over the years until finally settling on Vermont Rail System's Washington County Subsidiary about two decades ago.
Check out this shot from five years ago. In it you can see the abandoned right of way that is now rebuilt which tnis train is arriving on:

I made this on Sunday during the Polaroid Image Transfer class I gave, which went well I think. Started with 9 people, 3 had to leave early and finished with 3 die hards who were having a good time... :) It was a lot of fun, and I lived through the nervousness. ha ha
HH11 shuttles some stuff from Harrisburg over to Rutherford with a solo GP38-3 in charge... 11/22/23
T451 transfer from Port Waratah to Werris Creek approaches High Street Maitland with 9007, 9015, 9006, 9016, 48127. The 90's are expected to begin banking duties over Ardglen. 48127 had been the long time Port Waratah shunter before being displaced by an 81 class in November 2019. It had been stored on Kooragang Island prior to being transferred to Werris Creek.
