The low neck posture is a warning to 'back off from me and my babies'...
I liked how the goslings were perfectly lined up for this capture :)

Kahn gets a bit worried about the wind in the trees; and it's been very windy lately!
Still locked up in ice, the Algomarine fired up it's engines this week. An ice breaker is expected to arrive over the Easter weekend but ice fishermen weren't giving up just yet.

Pleasure Island was primarily a night-time entertainment complex
with two comedy clubs and four dance clubs. These clubs closed permanently on September 27, 2008. New shops and restaurants were planned to open to replace the closed clubs, but the economic recession of 2009 delayed plans. Only one new restaurant has opened to date.
While the Village/Marketplace and West Side have always been free to enter, Pleasure Island required the purchase of admission and was closed during the day. Beginning in summer 2004, Pleasure Island became free to enter, and only those guests entering the nightclubs were charged admission.
On November 18, 2010, Walt Disney World Resort announced a project named Hyperion Wharf, which was planned to replace the Pleasure Island complex. Pleasure Island would have undergone extensive renovations and re-theming to transform into the early twentieth century wharf-themed entertainment area. New shopping and dining locations would have also been added. In July 2011, it was announced that these plans have been delayed. These plans were later cancelled in favor of Disney Springs. Construction began in April 2013 on Disney Springs, a complete remake of the section, which will be completed by 2016.
I'm so excited to post my first water shot! The water was super cold; I was shaking like crazy haha. But it was fun and adventurous.
Classic trucks lined up on the back lot of the Motor Transport Museum in Campo - San Diego with the Milky Way rising up behind.
The infamous UP GP30 844 sits at Boulder City. This engine forced the more well-known UP 844 to be renumbered 8444.
A friendly wave from the conductor flies from one of a handful of CNW Dash 9 patches remaining. 9741 is the lone engine a coal empty westbound on the Blair Sub. Check out some of the interesting touches on this veteran; hand painted numberboards, and visors over the headlights... appears someone stole a headlight casting from an EMD and mounted it upside down.
It is unusual to see DC power on Union Pacific coal trains, much less General Electric DC power, and even much less CNW patches!
And nowhere to go! Pushkar Camel Fair 2016 turned into a sad fiasco after the 8PM announcement of demonetization of currency notes of denominations 500 and 1000. Traders who groomed and decked up their camels found no buyers!

Tried to explore some of the grungier side of New York this time. Had this nice friendly greeting in the East Village.
Back from the graveyard, one of the re-activated SD9043's leads autoracks west through Logan, IA. Interestingly, the second unit is an old C60AC; now re-engined and downgraded to C44AC status (and obviously has experienced the ubiquitous GE fuel fire). These two locomotive series are an illustration of the failure of the 6000HP race.
CN C40-8M 2421 and UP SD70M 5063 head north on the IHB about to cross CSX at Calumet Tower East Chicago IN, Dec 10 2005.
Union Pacific 4-8-4 Northern #844 on the 2016 "Trek to Tennessee" Special traveling between Jefferson City, MO and St. Louis, MO on October 18, 2016.
After making the stop in Hermann, the 844 continues east past the high Kallmeyer's Bluff.
Here's where things went a little off the rails for me (so to speak) as I had some bad luck with the sun that was darting in and out from under the clouds. Just moments before this shot, the sun was behind a cloud and I had adjusted my exposure. Then it popped back out, requiring another. By the time it reached the point of just before the trees, it was back behind the clouds again and the exposure on my shots at that point were off again.
This ended up being the best of a bad lot. While not exactly where I wanted the train for composition, the sun is at least out and the exposure is at least pretty good (with a little help from my friend, Photoshop)

Union Pacific Railroad Operation Lifesaver caboose at North Little Rock, Arkansas on July 31, 1986, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This car was known as EAST ONE when it was on the Missouri Pacific. Yeah, I know, I could have framed this shot better. I was not an invited guest, so I grabbed the shot from my car and moved on.
