SSNP switching for an hour or so before they let the RCP&E train go west. Just long enough for clouds to roll in. Seen here at Pine street in Mankato.

Close up on the aging structure. Lichen and small flowers making their presence felt :)

No Group Banners, thanks.
Making good time at Valley, we thought they would keep the speed up through Omaha but instead they got hit with slow orders at every bridge.
Daily Dog Challenge: Looking up.
Kahn gets a bit worried about the wind in the trees; and it's been very windy lately!
Took this as there wasn't much else about. The back of two geese :)
Many thanks to all who comment, fave or just enjoy looking, it really is very much appreciated!
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.
First wig try, I'm not sure yet if it's the definitive one.

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.
66557 accelerates up the incline at Oakenshaw, West Yorkshire working 4O95 12:13 Leeds F.L.T-Southampton M.C.T. 12/07/2017.
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!
"Every child is born blessed with a vivid imagination. But just as a muscle grows flabby with disuse, so the bright imagination of a child pales in later years if he ceases to exercise it."

have you ever in life been told to be too old for something? or that you've outgrown that stage when you're watching kids' tv shows? I have. many, many times. and I refuse to agree with people. I think there is no such point in life when kids should be turned into adults, letting go of what they love and changing who they are just because they've reached a certain age. society tells us too much anyways when to grow up, when to no longer watch Disney movies, and when to say good bye to your childish self. to me, growing up is about getting to know how to be responsible about what you're doing, to learn how to handle things yourself. but it doesn't go hand in hand with forgetting about imagination, childhood memories, and just being a child from time to time. I will never in my life stop watching Disney movies, and I will continue drinking hot chocolate out of my 101 Dalmatians mug with a straw, nobody will ever keep me from having fun in bouncing castles, and I will forever laugh about whatever cherishes my mind - I will never say good bye to my inner child, no matter what age I'll turn.
the concept above goes to me so well with growing up and being torn between childhood and the time when we are told to take on responsibilities instead of finding ourselves still in imaginary worlds. we find ourselves being pulled out of that worlds, only few decide to hold on to what they should later think about their most carefree and happiest times of their lives. this is actually the first concept I've been happy with in a long, long time. and yes, it may be grainy and the processing is far from being perfect, but I love it. and to me it brings across exactly what I wanted to say with it.

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.
This is the same young bull who came to drink out of the swimming pool at Elephant valley Lodge on Friday evening...
Thanks for taking the time to stop - I really appreciate your faves and comments.
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.
