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.
With dismay after finding the CNW Depot at Ames now covered in countless air conditioner condensers, fencing and weeds; I opted to re-create a shot I'd done the last time steam was in Ames.
Special thanks to that lady for running into the scene at the very last second, forcing me to relocate and recompose. She probably got a great cell phone photo.
My first contribution to the new Nifty Fifty Friday group! If you aren't a member, consider this your invitation! Join here. It's been a while since I've used mine. Wow - forgot how light my camera was without the 24-70 f/2.8L!!
Have a wonderful weekend! I'll be shooting some fireworks tomorrow (work!). If you have any tips, please pass them along :D.

Westbound BNSF grain loads carefully drop down grade at Ilmon, with a mixed bag of power up front. The train's swing and rear distributed power consists can also be seen in this view, adding much needed breaking effort to the 13000 ton train's decent into the San Joaquin Valley.

A stairway takes you to the lookout on the Track and Tower trail in Algonquin Park where a fire tower once stood.
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.
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!
Sorry about the scratches -- DSLR-scanned with some scrap glass holder.

Jake Hills car locking up the brakes at the entrance into Duffis dip at Knockhill,,,
It's a bit more sever processing than i'd usually do but I felt uping the contrast and clarity just added to the feeling of incident with the breaks on rather than it flowing with speed... do you think that works?

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.

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)

not sure about the texture on this one.. I'll post the original in the comments as well for comparison.
have a sunny day, my friends!

UP 3939 was built in April 2003 as part of UP's massive order of more than 1400 SD70M's. It was also built with a flared, 4-section radiator (improved emissions & cooling) to meet EPA's Tier 1 standards.
20 years later, as SD70Ms have slowly been phased out in favor of newer SD70ACe's and ES44AC's, UP 3939 finds itself in storage at UP's Congress Yard in Houston.
