As the Mojave Desert blooms with wildflowers, NS 4393 west (MWCST) has been put away at Ansel for one east. That eastbound, UP 8628 (MRVLA), rattles the west switch at Ansel as it continues down grade towards the floor of the Antelope Valley.

Eastbound stacks race for Ogden as the sun tries to pop out on what was had been a very cloudy and dreary winter afternoon.
Maha Chedi Chai, Roi Et, Thailand. From an altitude of about 1200 feet we can enjoy a beautiful view over Thai/Isaan wild farm. The weather was so windy that just 1/50 sec shutter speed was enough to make clouds moving and trailing.
High up in the Sierra a pair of SD70Ms lift a westbound 'blade' train up the grade, moments from entering Shed 47 between Andover and Eder. Donner Lake is at left.

Thanks for the visit - have an enjoyable week -
Also known as viola, wild pansy and heart’s ease, the johnny jump up is actually a relative of the pansy only much, much smaller in size.
CN power leads a UP train under the BNSF overpass at Grand Island, NE. The mid train DP was NS7681. Meanwhile, the guy on the ground is lining up NCRC Platte Valley Turn power out of the house.
The 40-car train easily fits in to one shot from one of the many bridges on the West side of Creston.
I've shot on the Blair a few times but never on Arlington Hill. Paul being the chauffeur led us to this spot, where a short hike into the field awards you with a beautiful view in the afternoon light. Sam broke off here and Paul, Ryan and I booked it west to catch him one more time coming under 275 into Fremont before we headed home for the day.
Thanks for showing me this spot, Paul. Might have to get out here again soon.
UP SD70AH 9074 leads a manifest westbound on the Blair Subdivision outside Arlington, Nebraska, March 10, 2024.
Winter night at Pokljuka forest in Slovenia. You can clearly see the Andromeda galaxy and Milky Way.
Nice looking Union Pacific locomotive. The UP power roster notes that it was delivered in mid 2007. GE C45AC-CTE 4400 horsepower
After taking a short hike and bagging a shot down below along the tracks, I was walking back to my car and I looked up the hillside from the curves and thought maybe there would be a shot from up there. Knowing a second south bound was on the way along Union Pacific's Black Butte Sub, I decided to take the gamble on up the steep hillside cliff and hope a shot would turn out somewhere. Luckily it was only about a 10 minute climb and giving off quite the view. Dorris, California
...for his check up with the Vet. He makes stressed people in waiting room smile and children love this little clown
Just sending you a smile for the weekend - be safe and well
Several shots blended - watching a spider crawl up the web under the Queen Anne's Lace flower. I think it's a sac spider.
On 2-15-17, UP moved a set of power including some SD60M's from storage into Chicago to address a temporary power shortage. Photo is taken at the DeKalb depot.
With 22,000 tons of Wyoming soda ash tied to the drawbar Union Pacific's eastbound 'BF' conforms to the reverse curves as it pulls the grade out of 'Daley's Hole'.

"Se guardi le stelle in cielo ricorda che ognuna è un desiderio, e che tu puoi sempre scegliere in cosa sperare, credere, sognare" Stephen Littlewood
Un piccolo paese di montagna sembra fatto da una manciata di stelle cadute dal cielo sul fianco della montagna.
Sarò all'estero tutta la settimana. A presto :)
