Was a little lost as to what to shoot for today's challenge until I walked into my daughter's bedroom - yes whimsical all over the place! This little cat will do the trick ... as well as hopefully, being whimsical.
Off to do more painting at my son's so will call back in later on this evening. Have a great Friday!
Our Daily Challenge - WHIMSICAL .....
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.
Now on the final stages of the second trip into Omaha of the year, 4014 eases north along the Missouri riverfront towards parking for the next couple days.
Always nice to catch a clean motor leading a train, bonus points for being a clean EMD and being able to hid the POS GE that was trailing.
MP 16.5 on the UP Kansas Sub.
UP Steam Locomotive #844 at The Dalles, Oregon.
This train hauls ass. I had one hell of a time shooting it today. I was foiled at every place that I stopped by some goofy little screw up. I had a hard time keeping up with it and every stop that I made I had to rush to get a shot.
This was my last shot and I still screwed up on this one too. Because I didn't really know how tall the train would be in my frame I had the camera set up too low. Also, I had made sure that Mount Hood was in the background and the train and smoke block the view.
Anyhow... I saw allot of photogs out there today. I hope that some of my contacts were able to get a good shot of her.

UP 6517 leads the UP business train south through Lockport, IL. I remember when UP used classy units such as Es for these trains. Nowadays, not so much.
Class 31 No. 31151 stands at platform 11/12 at Bristol Temple Meads station with the 19:40 from Weymouth, which terminated here. The open doors of the leading vehicle suggest that unloading of parcels is in progress. There's evidence of activity in the GPO sorting office, right, but only on a couple of floors late in the evening on Friday 24th February 1978.
TT's climb the massive grade at Ardglen, being assisted by 82 class bank locos at the rear of the train.
I got a 4x5 large format camera. At least I got a borrowed one.
This is one of my first shots with a large format camera. The other pictures of this afternoon's walk have to be developed and will follow soon...

Welcome to red rock country!
Union Pacific 4730 & Ferromex 4077 form the motive power of train LDG-451-B; the sundays only Potash Local on the Cane Creek Sub.
Een stukje voorbij Moab, aan de Colorado river, staat een mijn, waar Potash gedolven wordt; een zoutachtige substantie die veel in kunstmest gebruikt wordt.
De Potash mijn wordt normaal gesproken enkel op zondagen bediend. Op andere dagen wordt de spoorlijn bij Moab namelijk geblokkeerd doordat op de lijn vrijwel de gehele dag een containertrein staat. Die trein vervoert een belangrijker goedje; namelijk met uranium verontreinigde grond en heeft derhalve voorrang. Maar goed nieuws voor de liefhebber; aangezien zondag de enige mogelijke rijdag is van de Potash local, is de kans groot de trein ook daadwerkelijk te treffen.
Na echter ruime tijd gewacht te hebben in de Bootlegger Canyon moest ik op een gegeven ogenblik opgeven; het begon serieus te regenen én ik kreeg honger. De trein was dan ook al serieus een paar uur te laat. Terug bij de auto...u raadt het al...passeerde hij echter alsnog.
Gelukkig is de snelheid op het traject naast de Colorado River erg laag; een mijl of 10 per uur, harder zal het niet gaan. De trein is dan ook snel ingehaald.
Een eerste fatsoenlijke foto toont de Union Pacific 4730 (EMD SD70M) en Ferromex 4077 (EMD SD70Ace) met hun trein LDG-451-B van Grand Junction naar Potash naast een gruwelijk groot rotsblok.
Al had ik een paartje GP40-2's verwacht...ik was al erg blij dat de trein toch kwam opdagen!

'If you don't like the weather in Wyoming, just wait 15 minutes, it will change.'
A perfectly sunny morning on Sherman Hill by high noon was anything but, invaded by a thick cloud bank as yet another thunderstorm moved over Wyoming. After 20 minutes of heavy rain the clouds parted allowing the sun to illuminate a westbound shooter, hustling up main 2 just west of Buford.

UP train MALPR (Altoona-Proviso) makes its way across the south side of Milwaukee, WI at 20th Street. 11/23/2020
Following running repairs in the workshops at Rheine depot, oil-fired Class '043' 2-10-0 No.043 381-3 is lit up and its burners are in operation in order to bring up steam pressure, ready for it to work out its last days in DB service. Despite its poor external appearance here on 3rd September 1977, the 1941-built 'Jumbo' was not only to work until the end of steam on the Emsland line at the end of October 1977, but also survived the cutter's torch, and is today on display at the Bavarian Railway Museum in Nördlingen as 44 381.
