Always shoot the elevator. That was the plan, anyway, as after the Platte River shot we headed south to Murray.
However, once we got to town (sorry for making you miss your turn Sam), we found that the tracks were fully shadowed. I knew that the Adams St. crossing a couple miles north of Union was one of the few open (relative to the rest of the Falls City sub) spots we could get another shot at, so we booked it there.
We found more foamers waiting as well once we pulled up, so we walked out to join them. Thankfully, we had somehow made time and gotten back in front of him, so I had time enough to hike a ways out into the field. Only so much I can do in that instance to have a different photo.
He had slowed down at this point and crawled his way into Union. He pulled onto the wye to flip around and head back north and was met with a crowd waiting for him. The sun had dipped below the trees by then, though, so away the camera went.
Union Pacific SD70M 4533 and 4404 lead a retirement special southbound on the Falls City Subdivision across the Union, Nebraska, September 29, 2023.
Moving from the East Coast to the Midwest, one of the things I've noticed are the length of coal trains. From the 110 to 115 car trains I seen on CSX and NS to the 135 to 150 car trains on BNSF and UP. Seen here are one of those 135 car UP coal trains gliding across the trestle oer Santa Fe Junction.
Form last week, when the sun still shined here in Kansas. UP 5997 West leads one of the afternoon manifest trains west in Bonner Springs, KS.
Someday the sun will come back out. Today isn't going to be that day and tomorrow isn't looking good either.
A male white-breasted nuthatch runs up the trunk of a tree, seemingly unaware of gravity. Nuthatches are common in our area; their distinctive sound is familiar in the woods.
The lights go on at night at the Kelaniya Buddhist Temple near Colombo to celebrate the Duruthu Perahera, or Buddha's journey to the Sri Lankan mainland.

Yep, this is UP train RWYODS with two CNs, an NS, BNSF, and not a single UP unit in the consist. They're easing their way down the hill just south of Block after waiting for the MYCAS to finish their work in Villa Grove.
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.

Passing the vintage UP entry signal at the North Bend siding, 2001 continues westward on its journey to North Platte.
Steps leading up to the 1941 director tower at Beacon Hill Battery (also known as Beacon Hill Fort) is a late-19th and 20th century coastal fortification that was built to defend the port of Harwich, Essex.
Lighting up time - A wonderful end to the day watching the sun setting over South Uist out across the Minch with some intense and incredible light catching the cliff edge of the thin sliver of land leading out to the lighthouse at Neist Point.
One of the most westerly locations in the UK, Neist Point can be a fickle location at the best of times, sunset can be very hit or miss here; however when it’s good, it really is good. It's a location that’s hard to beat as one of the best places to witness sunset and it really comes into its own when conditions are as spectacular as this.
