Did anyone not know that UP was bringing 4014 across Nebraska for the College World Series this year? Anyone? I'm guessing not judging by the traffic trackside today. Talk about a stampede.
I had originally planned on going west to catch this large lad yesterday morning as today was supposed to be set aside for a "day" trip to Illinois to catch the westbound roadrailer on the NS. If the rumors are true, the days of that train are very numbered, and this is the last weekend for the rest of the month I'm free. However, the weather wasn't going to make the trip worth it, so I changed my plans and went out for this absolute unit today.
Sam and I both had the same idea: pop him once between North Bend and Fremont and use the extra time with their stop in Fremont to get to out spot in Omaha and get setup before the crowd arrived. I showed up to North Bend an hour before the train would be there and there were already 20+ cars at the highway crossing in town, including two gentlemen chain smoking cigarettes with one foot on the rail.
We had predicted a scene similar to that while talking the night before, so we planned on heading to a farm crossing east of town with the hope that most people would also have the same idea. I'm not going to say it was as bad as it was in town, but we certainly weren't the only ones with that idea, as both the crossings we scoped out already had several cars waiting.
Since the shot was just going to be a wedgie anyway, we set up with the others a couple miles east of town and waited. Unlike everyone else at that crossing, however, we brought our big boy lenses (pun absolutely intended), allowing us a telesmash of the consist with the North Bend elevator in the background.
I'll end this story for now and continue it on the next post.

starting catch up now . . .
UP 5170 rolling east at Loring on the UP Kansas Sub. Things are starting to green up again here in NE Kansas as we come out of dead stick season.
Nice to catch some older SD70M's leading trains around here lately. Sure is better than the piss bricks we normally get.

Just had a load of films developed dating back to march, so working my way through it pretty much chronologically.

UP 7868 at the head of four locomotives, including CSX 5208, pulling an eastbound intermodal train up San Timoteo Canyon.
Many thanks to Freightcarkid for showing me around on this day.
66118 brings 6V05, 0915 Round Oak to Margam, round the curve at Up Hatherley, just south of Cheltenham Spa.
Near the "golf-course" entrance to Shepherds Bush an unusually active EYR skipped from branch to branch. Possibly searching for nesting materials.
There's almost nothing I dislike more than washing dishes- so I was more than happy to allow these Teddy Bears to help me!

Things get better through whatever
If you fall, dust it off,don't let up
don't you know you can go,be your own miracle,
you need to know...
if the mind keeps thinking you've had enough
but the heart keeps telling you don't give up
who are we to be questioning, wondering what is what,
don't give up...
through it all just stand up!!!!:)

Cade texted me and said he saw a minty fresh GE fueling at Newman and that he was about to get a light so I decided to roll west this AM and see if I could get lucky with a sucker hole of sun.
My first attempt was here at the airport but unfortunately the sun was just a bit too muted here so you'll have to settle for a black and white conversion.

This captured the mother when she finally was able to carry her little one off into the brush to rest with her. It truly was amazing to watch this take place and to see how gentle they are with their young.
Did not plan to post so many together but felt the story would have perhaps a little more meaning.
Thanks for stopping by !
I will show Mom tomorrow .
This is one of very few Heil F4000s I’ve seen in the last couple of decades which has the basic open back for manual loading, built entirely for kerbside clean-up. Off the top of my head this is also the only mammoth 28m body that has made it down to Australia, appropriate in capacity for the bulk waste job. Amongst a fleet of originally 10 side loaders, it was only this single rear loader taking care of booked clean-ups in Penrith, with additional trucks later supporting the demand in service. Definitely one of the cooler rear loaders living in the Sydney region!
