UP 8378 in DPU mode helps brake a heavy and slow moving coal train down Cajon pass and across Drawbar Flats in the early morning mists.
A business train returns to the Omaha area after a trip south. The 103 year old 'Shoshone' is visible 3 cars back, second oldest in the Union Pacific fleet. It's always good to see it out and about.
A hike up the West Fork of Oak Creek Canyon is still one of my favorite hikes in the Sedona area. It's good to have lots of memory space in your camera and an extra battery along as photo ops abound. Weekdays are the best times to go when there are a lot fewer noisy humans intruding on the serenity.

EMD Tier IV UP 3044 leads a mixed manifest train around the long curve coming into Loring this morning. If you only get a chance to shoot one train in the morning then you better make it a good one.
Just a tad bit too much tree on the lead truck than I would like, but maybe that tree will get removed soon too. Who knows. We’re not in a National Forest, yet.
These Tier IV’s are starting to get the UP piss brick treatment. Look at the roof of this unit and you will see just how dirty they are starting to get. It won’t be long and they will look like the EMD SD70M second out. Hot garbage.

Looking the other way at flag barn with the UP 7804 East coming up to the intermediate signal at 24.5.
My trip with Gary Powell to the Twin Ports in 1986 was one for the books. This GL Powell shot is of me cleaning up high weeds at an Erie Mining grade crossing. That walking forearm crutch came in handy.

UP Westbound Local Freight Train secured at Apex, NV. waiting on a fresh crew with a pair of SD40N's in charge, the 1899 is former C&NW SD40-2 6933.
This cheetah shot is just the way I shot it and is NOT a crop.
Shot at about 300-350mm. Yes we were close.

UP 2619 leads a northbound manifest freight past the south switch at Springfield Junction. The track to the right gave northbound trains access to the Siskiyou Line, but is no longer used. Now all trains entering the line originate at the Eugene yard and are routed via the north switch. One of the many SP trestles over the Willamette River is in the background.
Medanak, first reversing station of the Khyber Pass Railway. The line continued on the upper left to the next reverse at Changhi and further on to the Afghan border at Torkham where it stopped just a few meters from the border line. The railway was opened in 1925 to Landi Kotal and 1926 to the border - this later section with two reversing stations was already closed in 1932 after only 6 years of use. The Peshawar to Landi Kotal line remained open for regular trafic with one train a week until 1982 and for special trains between 1993 and 2007. It is closed since due to severe washout. Essential reading about this line is 'Permanent way through the Khyber' written by the line's building engineer Victor Bayley. February 1997
Brand new ARRIVA Buses Wales ADL Trident 2 / Enviro 400 4550 - CX14 BXN loads up in Rhyl Bus Station for a journey on coastal route 12 to Llandudno West Shore.
The world must feel quite different when you're a butterfly compared to us. I mean, to us, up and down are two very clear concepts, but to something as light as a butterfly with tiny hooks on its feet - plus wings - they can just as well land on the underside of a leaf as on top of it.
Here it is a common eggfly (Hypolimnas bolina), also known as the varied eggfly, the great eggfly and the blue moon butterfly which thought that hanging underneath the leaf was preferable to being on the other side.
View from Sears Towers, Chicago, IL. One of my first long exposure night shots, taken with an Olympus IS-20 SLR. It was a very long exposure and I burnt some parts! I did not have the luxury of digital camera, to see and delete. I did not know the result until I came back from the trip. The blue hue (all the blue here was actually black) was created by Walmart when processing my film :-(
End of the day, I convinced myself, 'Not a bad attempt at long exposure night shots' :-)

Mount Olympus Trail to Olympus summit; Mount Olympus Wilderness, Utah; August 2017
The entire hike up Olympus is steep, but the final stretch requires the use of hands. It's very steep, but I think photos make it look more intense than it is.
Its the 5th of December 2015, and after landslides and floods on the West Coast mainline, the entire line north of Preston had been subject to major delays and cancellations. Seen here, DRS 37688 Kingmoor TMD had left Kingmoor at least 30 minutes early, and was sat on the up road for some time. The loco was going to Carnforth on line clearance but never left the station. The loco completed her journey south to Carnforth Jn the next day.
Out of the 6 pictures that I took, this was the best. Not the best quality, but while being pelted with rain and facing gale force winds it was the best I could manage. Thanks to our train being cancelled, we had enough time to photograph the loco while we tried to work out a way home via Newcastle. Needless to say, 688 was one of my last 37 that I needed, well worth braving the weather for!

Bit about me, I'm a 14 year old photographer, I love photographing wildlife, landscapes, pets, urban scenes, and other things that really interest me!
I guess we'll make it a local day. This is the WB version of today's M-TPTP as it works it's way back west on the UP Kansas Sub at Linwood.
Always makes for a good day when you can catch a GP40 leading a train in fresh paint.
Former B&O 3699, Former SP 7125. Not bad for a 1966 graduate of LaGrange, IL.
