Having just worked the Nevada Goldmines facility at Jayhawk (Newmont) the paired track local hustles west towards their last customer, MI Swaco in Battle Mountain. Elko and Winnemucca based locals and yard jobs are still powered by EMD/NLR SD40Ns, as demonstrated here by 1635 and 1620.

Going up " The Tower " which is a Bar/ Tatoo parlor in City Height ( I was not going up, just standing outside the iron gate on a sunny day ;-D )

UP 1350 guides the MIR job westbound for Plymouth. For those who don't know this job often leaves East Minneapolis in the morning which is in bad light but for some unknown reason this train departed around 13:00, thanks to a heads up from Henry Jansen saying he shot the train going by Nicollet Island I figured I could meet the train west of Golden Valley. They were just about to finish working an industry and I had just enough time to set up the pole to document the move of the MIR in good light AND with the engine facing the right way.
After making a pickup at the CN in Manly, UP train LTC17 enters the former CGW for its last 10 miles to Mason City.

I was slowly approaching this pair hoping to capture them taking off from the water. They spotted me though and took flight, so I had to quickly shift position to catch them up in the air.
I'm not sure what train this is but I saw the same power doing the same thing two days in a row so I suspect it's a local transfer job of some sort. At any rate, this pair of UP Deuces is heading north out of Fort Worth and soon to go over the Trinity River. 5/18/18
Turning away from the playa of the Smoke Creek Desert at Sano, the rails of Western Pacific's Fifth Subdivision start up the east side of Sand Pass. Highlighting the route, with over 13K feet and 20K tons, a westbound North Platte, Nebraska to Fresno, California manifest makes the climb to Sand Pass.

Peiko Jones always MUST lick the butter dish before it goes into the dishwasher. When I went to pick it up I noticed these shadows from my windowsill knickknacks on the floor, please ignore any crumbs :)
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.
MITPS heads south through Owatonna with UP 1996 and 8204 for power. This is my favorite heritage unit of the six UP has. Knowing it was going to be a nocturnal run into St Paul, I knew to make my way to Spine Line. Unfortunately shooting southbounds in the morning isn't super optimal lighting, doing some research I knew the track jogged slightly east for half mile near the north end of Owatonna, so I made the most of what was given.
In late January and early February 1998, EMD and Union Pacific teamed up to test the SD90MAC-H on UP's Bond Subdivision (later Moffat Tunnel Sub). The units and EMD test car are shown westbound at Leyden siding, about 12 miles west of Denver. EMD Demo 8504 eventually went to the UP.
Called rock trains, UP ran these in the 90's from Silver Bow to Great Falls and then to Calgary with phosphate. Some of the best coverage I got of the line up to Great Falls was because of these moves.

Fisketorvet is one of the shopping malls in Copenhagen. In the beginning it was quite lonely, on the old harbor, but other houses, both residental, and offices has been built around the shopping mall. And now, it is a pretty cool area.

Time to relax is later. Now is the time for doing away with all (well, most) of the fallen limbs and branches that Winter hides.
btw: it's dark because it is pre-dawn. That's the only time there is no wind blowing, and safer for fire... :)
150271 crosses the River Don in the heart of Sheffield and passes some derelict industrial buildings some of which are finding new uses as gyms and meeting halls serving the community.
150271 was working the 1813 from Huddersfield.
This shot is a composite image. I was pushing the limits of low light photography, the two images are separated by only 12 minutes. I have only used the light plume from the street lamps from the second image. This has enabled me to maintain a low grain image with that lighting up feel. The last step was to darken the whole image by 1 stop.
