on the way up to Haystacks

Several shots blended - watching a spider crawl up the web under the Queen Anne's Lace flower. I think it's a sac spider.

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.

With such a pretty falls I tried zooming in to isolate one of the more interesting sections. This is a naturally monochrome image with no colour adjustments made.

CP train 486 was shrugging off a winter chill at Rondout behind a trio of SD40-2s.

At the time, a scene like this was a daily occurance, but wasn't taken for granted as the writing was on the wall.

Today, it's all devolved to a General Electric show around here.

Have a close look at this one; and you'll see me in the bird's eye reflection!!!

The classic BLE tunnel motors are seen doing the helper honors up Byron hill on the CN. Manned helpers and cool power on a class 1 is a great combination

The hump at UP's Englewood Yard is unique in that the crest spans a main line, in this case the two main tracks of the former HB&T East Belt.

Having just finished shoving a cut over the hump, this hump set awaits instructions before heading to pick up its next cut. In the distance, a yard transfer out of UP's Settegast Yard has just cleared below as it rolls south.

Cycling home the other evening the wind had dropped, the sky was blue and I do love the majestic structure of a pylon.

CN 327 has 30 intermodal platforms up front as it approaches Dorval with CN 2224 & IC 2724 for power.

Westbound SeaLand Train, former Erie Mainlin, January 1977.

This train made great progress. I saw this train in the pre-dawn hours on my way to the office at MP 11.3 and by the time that I was coming home that afternoon it had made it all the way to MP 20. That's velocity. Moving at about an average of 1MPH.
