What goes up must come down.

Despite the naysayers; 4014 was doing the work from the rear while shoving north along the Omaha riverfront. I don't think I've shot a train from this pedestrian overpass since the original 2 heritage units (1982/1983) were unveiled in 2005!
The Mojave River is easily mistaken for a dry wash filled with sand. Although water of the Mojave cut Afton Canyon from the surrounding mountains, only a few times in recent history has enough water flowed here to provide more evidence than a puddle. The river exits the east end of Afton Canyon and ends in the vast Mojave River Sink basin. The Union Pacific built the route of the Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad through this part of the California Mojave Desert along the convenient path of the river to avoid the surrounding mountains.
The rising sun turns the sky and thin cloud to delicate shades of pink and orange over the Mojave River Sink. The crown of the rails running east from the west switch at Basin siding reflect the color of the sky. The mainline of the UP LA & SL is nearly tangent before turning south into the Devil’s Playground to avoid the Kelso Mountains 25 miles distant across the empty basin. At the point were the rails vanish over the horizon a red signal at the west switch at Crucero indicates an approaching westbound grain train.
Union Pacific replaced the original Union Switch and Signal Company signal hardware on the Cima Sub during a modernization in 2015. By 2020 the disused code line on the north side of the right-of-way had also been removed.
Completed by 1953 Union Pacific's third main track over Sherman Hill, also known as the 'Harriman Line', traded 10 extra miles for an easier gradient for heavy westbounds on the busy Overland Route. Between Harriman and Dale 3-track traverses some rugged and truly beautiful scenery in its fight for elevation. Near the top of 'the Hill' the Harriman Line slices through arguably its most impressive trademark, Dale Cut, bored through Wyoming granite Dale Cut brings 3-track in line to reunite with mains 1 & 2 at Dale Junction. On this occasion the near vertical granite cliffs frame a westbound grain train as it struggles towards the top of Sherman Hill, the endeavor of their climb nearly within sight.

Going on a charter fishing boat for the day, with my husband, was wonderful... the weather was beautiful and we enjoyed a beautiful sunset on the water....
the boat was full and it seemed like everyone was pulling in fish...
we pulled up a few, but no keepers... just photos and memories!!!
Up to date with photo uploads again, ready for a new week. It looks as if the good weather may have returned by thee amount of sunshine this morning.
That's a palindrome.
After shooting 3 BNSF trains over near Holliday I saw that Z10 lit WB on the scope. So after scooping the train I posted last night I high tailed over to the sewage plant to shoot this turd.
Ex-KCS SW-1500 second out for you fans keeping track of things at home. Almost wish I would have went west and droned this guy instead at Krieder.
After shooting this guy I went home. There was way too much smoke and dust in the air to make anything look good for last light even though I had the opportunity on both the BNSF and the UP to make this happen.
Way up in the Swiss Alps... there really isn't anything like being up so high, with all the soaring birds and the quietness, and the blindingly white snow. I absolutely loved it, so I wanted to share a little part of it with you guys :-)
The CP-UP delivery pulls a cut of cars out of CP St. Paul Yard and will shove them into the UP Belt Yard.
Looking up into the central tower at Melbourne Parish Church with the bell ropes hanging down.

Boa noite, amigas!
Vi uma combinação parecida com essa num blog gringo e estava doida pra fazer também! Fica tão lindo!
Usei o duochrome/multichrome da UP Colors por cima de um rosa, o Love Bug da Jordana e ficou num tom perfeito, delicado! Esses UP Colors são lindos, estou adorando muito eles!
Pra carimbar usei a plaquinha 208 da BM, e esmalte preto de carimbo da Blant, que graças à Deus não manchou quando passei seche-vite!
Gostei muito, deu um visual lindo na unha!
Boa noite amigas e até amanhã! ;*
