A series of wooden ladders inside the Hubbard Mine. I spent almost an hour setting up the colored lights.
The Hubbard mine was started in 1874 and was jointly operated with the Redman and Ready Relief mines. Together they were one of the largest mining operations in the Julian district. The Hubbard mine profited $200,000 during its years of operation.
The workings include a crosscutting adit which is 300 feet long, plus a 275 ft. shaft connecting to the surface. Due to this shaft the mine was always well vented. There is one drift that connects to the Ready Relief Mine. The vein is approximately 1 ft. wide, is about 200 feet below the surface
There are impressive rolls of gangue quartz found here and other mines around Banner, including one ore called blue ribbon quartz. The rocks are highly siliceous mica schist.
This mine is home to a colony of rare Townsend’s big-eared bats. This species is very sensitive to human disturbance and therefore the mine should not be entered during the breeding season from May to September. -- Hidden San Diego
I'm not a salmon but I swim up the stream of faceless metropolitan crowds everyday...
*** The first two days at school were super crazy and busy! I feel as if I were the fish in the image. Though I'll be still uploading pics here and there, I will be doing little commenting as the new school year has officially started yesterday. So, please feel free not to comment on the photos.
Thank you very much for your visits or comments in advance.
🍄 La magie de la forêt : l’automne les voit pousser tantôt sur un vieux tronc puis sur un couvert de mousse. L’un est comestible, l’autre non.
La nature nous réserve toujours des surprises incroyables ! 🌿✨
Threading the Humboldt River in remote Palisade Canyon eastbound grain empties ride former Western Pacific iron en route to a crew change in Elko, Nevada. Coming in second place to lay rail through the Canyon WP shared the limited space along the Humboldt with the Southern Pacific, pairing their trackage to create a stretch of double track railroad (eastbounds on the WP and westbounds on the SP). Today the trackage through Palisade serves in the same capacity now under the sole ownership of the Union Pacific.

SOO train 911 wades the weeds of summer as it struggles up the hill west of Trout Lake with 212A, 742 and 214A leading 90 cars on July 24, 1978. This is the SOO I grew up with, well maintained units leading big trains in Upper Michigan.
This was my first view of the young Osprey in the nest at Matsqui Trail, Page Road, Abbotsford, B.C.
This is the companion shot to the Out of the Storm image. Taken just twenty minutes later. The thunderstorm cell to the left was competing with another storm behind me to see who could drop the most rain in the Shawnut area. It ended in a draw.
Amtrak 40 brings the California Zephyr to speed, after a 42 mile long trek full of sharp turns and steep grades through the tight canyons of the Colorado River Valley. On this part of the Dotsero cutoff, the Colorado floodplain expands enough to allow the railroad to have faster turns, and allow the Zephyr to fly.
UP was kind enough to put the clean one on the point of this mostly domestic intermodal train as it passes Krieder Road on the UP Kansas Sub. It was all of 0 degrees when the bird went in the air, but it was much warmer in my pickup truck!
Taken when visiting Loch Lomond with our Canadian friends a few weeks ago ... just wanted to remind myself that we do have nice weather now and again!

Our (MWO) snow tractor heading up so that Jon could work on opening 5-mile grade while we (Observers) worked towards digging out our 4300ft ARVP sensors.
Sovetskoe foto, in the person of Mikulin, informs young photographers that they are looking "à la Rodchenko", and therefore that their photographs cannot be accepted.

Street art from, perhaps appropriately, the Graffiti Wall at Bondi Beach, Sydney. Artist unknown.
Not the most elaborate piece down there and, like most of the work, maybe a language I'm not in tune with - but the eye-catching combination of bold lines, palette and graphical design, very much appealed.

Seeing how the CSX was a bust the next best thing was a mostly fresh AC6000 rebuild leading a freight out of Mo Valley first here at 338.

When you get into photography you have to start somewhere and for me it was Christmas 2008 when I received my first DSLR, a Canon Rebel XSi. I had used one of my Dad's Olympus film cameras here and there prior but it wasn't until I got the Rebel that my interest in photography took off.
As I'm sure many of you out there can relate, looking back at early photos can make you cringe! I had no concept of light, sun angles, or composition back then and I really seemed into taking roster shots of the power and not including much, if any, of the train.
During the summer of 2009 Union Pacific's power desk was running duos, trios, and even a quartet of their heritage locomotives on their Chicago to Los Angeles 'K' train service. I had the good fortune of catching a few of those colorful trains in SoCal that summer, unfortunately, I have few presentable photos to show for those early efforts. No matter, the memories of those trips are priceless. I was still in high school in 2009 and during my summer break while my dad was at work my grandpa took me on many railfan adventures, including this one...
The sun has just climbed above the mountains that ring Cajon Pass and illuminates the UP 1983 (WP) and 1996 (SP) as they bring the KLAG1 up the old 'north track' alignment at Pine Lodge. UP 1995 (C&NW) was on the rear as a DPU.
I recently came across this photo and while it is nothing special photogenically...it sure brings back good memories. What I would give to be trackside with Gramps again!
Thanks for looking back with me.
