A reflection of a lift going up in a building near tower bridge. I am not entiley convinced about this one yet. Any comments welcome?
UP GP60 1038 destroys another plow line as it passes through Rollo, IL. This was probably the most intense of the plow lines it hit on its run. Probably the biggest I've caught on camera so far.

We love travelling in the UK, varied and beauty everywhere.
What a country, especially around where we live (or am I prejudiced? LOL)
I'll let you be the judge!
Hope you enjoy.
Thank you, have a lovely day, M, (*_*)

UP 2696 (ET44AC) leads a 15 car passenger special (PSCCB3-14) to the end of North Yard for a crew change and fuel stop.
Back into the Mer Bleue area for this morning's walk.
Here I'm watching two mountain bikers approaching. When bicycles or joggers get close I have to sit and wait for them to pass.
I'm pretty good at observing the rules on the trail. Most of the time I have a lot of freedom.

UP 6377 East rolls through the early morning fog at Pump House on the UP Kansas Sub.
It was completely socked in where I was standing, it was not where the drone was.
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.

As clouds meander across the plains, a trio of SD40Ns, led by snoot 1598, wrap up their day's work in Eaton, Colorado. Soon the 40s will be humming along at track speed headed home to La Salle.

The night sky in the Adelaide Hills.
Taken about 6 weeks ago.
A few light painted shots of the ruins blended with a 60 second tracked shot of the sky.

After a long wait for a busy Lafayette District to clear up, D93 finally has the light up the hill back towards Lafayette. The conductor climbs up on the 7111, shortly before they depart west.

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.

It's March so that means the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, the world's largest, is back in town.
This year we just decided to do the carnival. We rode rides and ate fried stuff on a stick. Fried Oreos and fried cheese cake. We decided to skip the fried butter.
As many times as I'd chased and photographed trains on this railroad I'd never actually ridden it except for one short trio behind 425 from Port Clinton to Schuylkill Haven and return. But this past fall I finally rectified that with a ride on Reading and Northern train PIJT from Pittston to Jim Thorpe and return about their spectacular boat tail observation car number 7, the King Coal...which once graced the rear of the Illinois Central Railroad's City of New Orleans.
After a fun 4 hr 35 min stay in Jim Thorpe spent walking around, having lunch and beers with a friend, and photographing 2102 I'm now on my way back north on 2 hr 20 min journey to Pittston via the Lehigh Gorge and up over Solomon Gap. The train consisted of a pair of GP38-2s, power car 1257, coaches 306, 312, 303, Crown Class coaches 451, 562, dome car 4, Pullman sleeper 1127, first class lounge number 7.
Here's a view out the dutch door of the sleeper (former Boston and Maine 'Salisbury Beach') on the fireman's side looking toward the head end of the train as we cross the former Central Railroad of New Jersey bridge and roll through RIVER interlocking at MP 121.1 on modern day RBMN's Lehigh Division mainline. We are dropping down the grade and will leave the CNJ right of way and join the ex LV at a new interlocking built by the RBMN that they have named COAL.
This bridge was actually abandoned around 1972 when the CNJ pulled out of the state of Pennsylvania, but the Reading and Northern relaid the rails on the bridge in 2003 to give their trains direct access to the north from Jim Thorpe without having to travel all the way south to Packerton Junction to access the Lehigh Line for points north. The once double track bridge is now single, with the location of the second track now a wonderful paved bike bath that affords a front row seat to all the rail action. Beneath the train is the former Lehigh Valley Railroad double track mainline. The empty Main 2 is now Norfolk Southern's little used upper Lehigh Line Main at about MP 124.3 while the Main 1 is now owned by Reading and Northern and designated as their Lehighton Branch and used for car storage.

Conforming to the reverse curves between Heard and Hermosa eastbound tonnage challenges gravity on the climb out of Laramie to the top of Sherman Hill. Nearly 10 miles remain for the eastbound manifest before the 8015' summit will be at hand. UP 1988, Union Pacific's Missouri-Kansas-Texas heritage locomotive, leads the charge.

150 empty cars are on their way up "The Hill" at Herndon, as U87 takes them to storage on the ex-Virginian PD District. This section of rail was mothballed in 2015, but for one day in 2020 a train once again traversed the rails between Elmore Yard and Clarks Gap to put 150 cars in storage. Whether or not this will be the last moved every over the famed hill remains to be seen. The train is seen here chugging up the 2.07% grade, passing a set of Virginian searchlights.
