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.
This is my typical expression when I ask you, "Whatcha up to?!"

So really, whatcha guys up?
Any plans for the 4th of July?

Looking the other way at flag barn with the UP 7804 East coming up to the intermediate signal at 24.5.
This Grizzly Cub popped up out of nowhere, quite far from his Mama who was feeding in the big meadow near the top of Dunraven Pass. I was walking along the roadside up to the crowd who had gathered to view her; in less than 10 seconds he/she was out of sight again,but not before I got a few camera shots through the branches of some large trees on the side of the road. Isn't that the cutest Bear ever????
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.
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

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.

Sadly Polar Star is no longer in operation - a lovely little ship in which we sailed the Antarctic Peninsular, South Georgia and the Falklands.
