That's heat dissipation distorting the signal bridge in Derry, PA, not the stink from trash train NS 62V. I was happy to telesmash the late model ACe leader and step back from the tracks before the smell of garbage came wafting through in its wake.
A few hours' mountain climbing make of a rogue and a saint two fairly equal creatures.

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear
Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear
Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
Slower, slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart, my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear
Wild South Africa
Kruger National Park
Critically endangered White-backed Vultures waiting for the sun to create warm-air pockets that would enable them to soar over distances of up to 150 km. They are Africa's most common large vulture, an accomplished scavenger that feeds on the carcasses of Africa's large animals.

Lone Survivor
UP 7607 cruises along the Columbia River at milepost 129 of the Portland Sub, taking in some sun before the fog returns, as seen creeping in the background. With its six total units all online, the detector at 133.2 read out a speed of 69MPH, roughly matching the 70MPH speed limit on I-84. A lonely pole stands proudly next to the right of way, one of a few remaining along this section of the Portland Sub who were lucky enough to be given white tape to mark each quarter mile. This particular pole looks like a decorated veteran with all 4 stripes and a milepost sign present to mark the 129th mile of track east of Portland.
Despite the entire river being covered in low hanging clouds at sunrise, it’s a particularly pleasant day with little wind and a high in the low 40s. The rain from the previous few days reset the stagnant air that was present over the course of the previous week, and the clear atmosphere would yield a particularly brilliant sunset. More on that eventually.

Blalock, OR // UP Portland Sub
Before DPU was introduced, UP was known for very long locomotive consists. Nowadays such configurations became rare, but they are still possible. A nice 5x consist lead by AC4400 #6391 passed Devils Slide. With GP38 #531 even a standard cab unit was part of the story, unfortunately only in position five.
