One from the archives shot with the old Nikon D100 which was a digital potato, but it got me away from slide film forever.
UP 3925 West up over the top of a BNSF Z-train climbing the hill, most likely a Z-SBDWSP by the time of the day.

UP 7978 leads the MPDRV along the south shore of Lookout Point Lake in Oregon. The original line through here was built around 1912 and was down below the line’s current location, where the lake is now. In 1952 the railroad was moved to its current location along the south shore for the building of the Lookout Point Dam, which created the lake. Over 20 miles of track had to be rerouted, lengthening the route by 1 mile. Locomotive consist is UP 7978, 6822, and 9002 on the point, with UP 6310, 5743, and 6278 mid-train in DPU mode.

I could hear this Anna's Hummingbird in the bushes and very shortly after I spotted it, away it went.
UP 4014 departing Baldwin,WI under police escort. This fellow will have a long walk to Eau Claire/Altoona.
The irritatingly beautiful Andy and I teamed up again to pimp one of his already fantastic photos from an earlier shoot.
Both of us are in love with this shot by G*Squared, so this is an homage to that.
This covers 10.05.09 - 16.05.09 of my 52 weeks project, and a big thank you to all the wonderful people who've joined so far!
A convenient pedestrian footbridge gives a panoramic view over Leeds and Armley Junction below. On a beautiful summer evening, the low sun casts its low shadow and probably is straight into the eyes of the driver of the daily Kings Cross - Harrogate HST working. Having reversed at Leeds station, the HST set is on the final leg and is about to take the Harrogate line at Armley Junction, Leeds.
HST 43272 leads with 43312 bringing up the rear of 1D24 17:33 Kings Cross - Harrogate, passing Armley Junction at 20:06.

Zoos have evolved over the years to make the life of an animal less and less traumatic, although it is still a prison for entertainment. Unlike those parks where the work to preserve species and recover those at risk of extinction seems to me to be an extremely important social and environmental job. Seeing that there are still zoos where you see that it is simply a prison makes me sad and angry, seeing the aggressive attitude of many animals in these zoos already gives you an idea of the discomfort they feel there and in those conditions. I have mixed feelings, but I am clear that if they gave me the option to choose, I would release them all. I dedicate this series to all those animals that in one way or another live in a prison, or simply have their freedom stolen from them.
Los zoo durante años han evolucionado para que cada vez sea menos traumática la vida de un animal, aunque sigue siendo una cárcel para entretener. A diferencia de aquellos parques donde el trabajo para preservar especies y recuperar aquellas en riesgo de extinción me parece un trabajo social y ambiental sumamente importante. Ver que todavía existan zoo donde ves que simplemente es una cárcel me genera tristeza y rabia, ver la actitud agresiva de muchos animales en estos zoo ya te dan a entender el malestar que tienen estando allí y en esas condiciones. Tengo mis sentimientos encontrados, pero tengo claro que si me dan la opción a elegir, los soltaría a todos.. Esta serie se la dedico a todos aquellos animales que de una u otra manera viven en una cárcel, o simplemente les roban su libertad.
I had the good fortune to come across this gentleman just as I was about to pack up the camera and call it a day. He had a personality as big, outgoing, and bright as the day is long and I'd wager a large sum he's a Vet which his bearing suggests. Dr. Maya Angelou could have had him in mind when she penned her well known quote:
"Be a Rainbow in Somebody Else's Cloud"
And, Yes, he does play Santa Clause at Christmas ! : ))

One of the famed (or profaned?) double coal loads stretches for as far as the eye can see. The power is 2x3x1 with nearly 3 miles of train trailing, 276 loads, and nearly 40,000 tons. Impressive to see in person.
An intermodal approaches Valley Junction from the south. It was lined to proceed onto the MacArthur Bridge and onto the Union Pacific Jefferson City Sub.
To the left is a transfer from the TRRA Madison Yard. It is pulled forward of the switch into the yard and will start backing into the yard shortly.

Wrapped in clouds of steam Big Boy 4014 has paused at Carr, Colorado on the 'Greeley' for a service stop and inspection. The steam crew thoroughly examined their machine looking for the slightest of corrections to be made prior to Big Boy's big debut on Saturday May 4th.
There is not much light at Carr after dark so with thanks to the crew on the northbound 'Nixon' empties holding the siding with their brights on :}
