H-GALPAS muscles up the Midway Sub to Northtown for a crew change. Nice to see H1 paint leading in decent afternoon light. Was glad this took the Midway Sub as main 1 on the St Paul Sub was filled with parked westbounds waiting for a slot into Northtown, this S curve at Western Ave has also been on the list for a while.
The Union Pacific Museum excursion rolls through Elkhorn, approaching the control point at Pacific Street where it will be delayed a couple hours. A manifest strung out through the crossover had gone into emergency and pulled out a drawbar in the process. D'oh!
Life on a boat up the creek .. confinement and days off sailing out on the bay look remote .. but a memory .

It's slightly embarrassing how often I get sunscreen smudges on my lens... and unfortunately it tends to take some time until I notice the reason for the stubborn "bokeh" in the middle of my pictures 😅
My favorite "sunrise in paradise" location on Key West. These palms are featured on Jimmy Buffett's A1A album, and the back cover is about 50 yards north of here. While he lived here this was a favorite spot of his and he wrote a few songs here. Have been attempting to get the best shot of these palms for many years. I'M STILL TRYING!

I climbed to the top of Blakeney Church for the first time to catch some images of the surrounding coastline. This shows Cley windmill with the village with the Marshes behind and then the North Sea.
A clean set of Conrail GP10’s are running up the ramp between the westbound departure yard and the eastbound arrival yard at Enola, Pennsylvania.
Between Holborn and East Moor a westbound engineering department OCS makes quick work of eSPee's Pequop crossing.

A soggy afternoon in the Smoke Creek Desert begins to dry out as the clouds part, allowing the sun to poke in and out throughout the afternoon. Good fortune brought a westbound North Platte, Nebraska to Fresno, California manifest, seen climbing the 1% grade that will soon be achieved at Sand Pass. The trailing Ferromex SD70 wears the road's newly adopted paint scheme and it is certainly an eye catcher in bright sunshine.
This same wet weather left hundreds stuck in the mud for several days at the nearby Burning Man Festival.

I captured this while in traffic, on a bridge, through my windshield.

At a glacial pace, a couple of SD40N's drag UP train YKS92R-10 through Hickory St on Main Track 1 of the UP KC Metro Sub in the West Bottoms, en route from CPKC's Knoche Yard with a transfer for UP's 18th St. Yard. 10/10/25.
Wake up call given out by this Knot (Calidris canutus) as I edged closer...this meant that half the flock of birds I was watching scooted over to the next rock pool island. There is always one keeping a beady eye on you! :))
Have a lovely Sunday everyone, have fun :))
Info from the RSPB.
The knot is a dumpy, short-legged, stocky wading bird. In winter, It is grey above and white below; in summer the chest, belly and face are brick-red. In flight, it shows a pale rump and a faint wing-stripe. It forms huge flocks in winter which wheel and turn in flight, flashing their pale underwings as they twist and turn. Many knots use UK estuaries as feeding grounds, both on migration and in winter, and therefore the population is vulnerable to any changes such as barrages, sea-level rises and human disturbance. Large numbers of birds visit the UK in winter from their Arctic breeding grounds.
Rebuilt from an AC6000CW, UP C44ACM 7037 accelerates west out of Rosenberg on the Glidden Sub with empty rock train RMYGW-01, heading for the Garwood quarry.

The mountain scene was serene until an ape appeared on the top. I quickly took the picture, and he was gone. No one believes me that he was really there, but pictures don't lie - they just show us what we want to see. What do you see? If you want to see an ape up there you will. Easy as that.
The steeple is on the wonk as the church is listing, the footings are giving way, but the old boys now long dead are propping up the foundations just to spite those that shut the church doors.
Long live their spirit, laughter and merriment.

UP 8593 leads a monster freight south under a Missouri Pacific era signal bridge on the former MP/SSW joint line near McClure, Illinois. Of course this rail line is now Union Pacific's Chester Sub.
