UP GP60 1038 leads a very large KD local west out of Belvidere, IL.

Being a relatively low priority move, the Spirit only made it as far as the first siding south of Omaha at Murray before being instructed to take the siding to meet three northbounds. Here they creep past the old wooden elevator in town to the south end of the siding to kick up the feet for a while.

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

pile me up? :)

UP LTA41

At first glance I thought it was a junkyard, but upon closer inspection, I don't think there is a vehicle in the lot that I wouldn't want to take out for a spin. Taken at 300mm, so a good ways away (err above).

Thanks for looking!

UP 3392 east is using track rights on the BNSF Trans-Con, passing the new connection at MilePole 185 in the Spring of 1998. Single boxcar must have been high priority to be on a stack train.

On or two of you wanted to see a standing up version of this outfit and so it here it is.

It is very nice but my other half did like to point out that my backside is visible when following me upstairs!

Thanks love I won't be wearing these again while you are about or any one else for that matter lol

UP 7819 leads a short intermodal train past Krieder Road last night. The clouds moved out for just about 90 minutes or so prior to sunset allowing be to get a shot of the only train that was out and about last night on the UP.

I kind of thought the clouds made for an interesting backdrop to an uninteresting train. The sun was just a tad bit muted from all the crap in the air from the wildfires out west.

New scheme UP 6483 leads this Long Beach bound manifest at Delano.

I wanted to take a pic "looking up" at something for Maelia's fun 7DWF group, so I put a Star-6 filter on the lens and went for it. I'd never used a star filter before and was surprised at how the pics came out!!

Some lights had no star effects, others looked like this pic. Not really a "star", but you can see the 6 star-ish flares coming from the light. (It's a 5 fixture LED lamp, so the other flares are spilling over from the other LEDs.) Interesting. I'll have to experiment some more. Such fun. :-)

p.s. I was just reading about star filters.. so interesting!! I think I got this effect because I was so close the the subject. "Subject-to-lens distance: The closer you are to the light that is producing the star effect, the larger the star effect will be in your frame." Plus using a smaller aperture, plus etc!! I'll have to print the article to read more. ;-)

Still not the best as I think... neither the eyes.

Need to redo again but I'm happy that I improve my DD face-up skill.

But I need more time.... T.T

Overlooking the boats down at Keyhaven this morning which are often lined up in an orderly fashion.

Met up with talented photographer and fellow Westonian, Simon (Rep001) for a sunrise shoot followed by coffee and croissants. Not the most vibrant one but very moody with some interesting light and lots of possibilities.

Thanks Simon for coming over my way so early and sharing some helpful tips it was great to meet you :)

It was yelling at me.

UP 8459 is looking bad as it leads CSX train K682 at Savage Road in Churchville, NY on October 20, 2019. I had set up my lawn chair at the Savage Road crossing hoping to get a few trains in some Fall colors, since the NS Southern Tier is devoid of any daylight trains. I could hear this train calling signals as it approached, and was happy to get something other than the usual CSX GE fatheads. I didn't count on a front door in primer that really messes up that UP herald.

Cuando iba editando esta foto cada vez mas se me iba pareciendo a una acuarela y de hecho en los comentarios me lo han puesto. Muchas gracias amigos

Just made #6 on explore !

I've been a tad busy of late with the added bonus of working in London all week, meaning a longer commute than usual. This means I've been unable to take many photos even though I've been carrying my G9 around with me every day.

On my commute I pass Charing Cross station, which is just a mess of lines and tiles - a very harsh enviroment and certainly not that welcoming. It does make for some rather nice black and white geometric shots. I'll be passing through again after the weekend so will have another go.

UP 8642 is stuck in the new backtrack in Salmon Arm.

A pair of UP Tier IV GEEZ leads a pair of CSX GEVO's east on a double stack train at the big curve at Lenape. Not going to be able to shoot here much longer with that sun slowly creeping back north on the horizon. in 3 months we'll be shooting Westbound trains from the other side of the track in the evening.
