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.
Sorry for the flood of images...
I honestly don't have the time or energy to keep up with flickr anymore.
The shots I've uploaded today have been stacking up until I "have time" to flickr. Don't see that happening anytime soon...
I will be visiting everyone over the next few days and beyond that I can't say.
To all: Take care and all my best.
Roller Coaster in Wildwood New Jersey. My daughter and brother are up there somewhere, but all you can see are the feet.
With one of Canadian Pacific's heritage ACU's up front, an empty ethanol train from Galveston skirts across the south side of Houston on UP's Harrisburg Subdivision.
CP 7014 is one of 5 locomotives wearing Canadian Pacific's classic tuscan red, gray, and gold paint scheme and featuring script lettering on the long hood. On the nose is CP's beaver logo that was introduced in 1949.

At my second chase location, UP 844 rounds a bend beneath plenty of brush shortly after passing under the Highway 24 overpass just outside Buckner.
I planned my locations around the scheduled stops in Buckner and Lexington with one more location after this one.
Westbound train CPSEY, passes thru the confines of Rock Creek Canyon, west of Crater. This shot requires a mile or 2 walk in on the Craig Branch north of Bond. Pretty crazy how the railroad built to P-Burg thru Crater Loops and out of this canyon. The railroad has been climbing since they left Bond.
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.
rauf und runter
Ich weiß nicht, ob und wann ich überhaupt schon mal so viele Treppen rauf und runter bin, wie am letzten Samstag.... ;-)
The University of the Philippines or UP was established in Manila on the 18th of June 1908 through Act No. 1870 of the First Philippine Legislature. In 1939, work on a bigger campus started in Diliman -- then part of Morong/Rizal province --- that was interrupted when World War II came to the Philippines. Four years after the war and after a massive rehabilitation work, UP’s relocation from Manila to its present site was completed.
Synonymous with UP is The Oblation --- sculptor Guillermo Tolentino’s translation of Dr. Jose P. Rizal’s “Mi Ultimo Adios” with actor Fernando Poe Sr. as the model. The statue’s cornerstone was laid by Aurora Quezon in 1931, and was unveiled in the old Padre Faura campus in 1939 by Gregoria De Jesus viuda de Bonifacio. The Oblation was relocated to Diliman in 1949. What now stands in front of the UP administration building is actually a bronze replica that was unveiled in 1958 in commemoration of UP’s 50th year. The original statue is at the 3rd floor of the main library. In 1977, members of the Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity streaked around the university to protest the banning of the movie “Hubad na Bayani”. What has become known as The Oblation Run is now an annual tradition of the university held every 16th of December in commemoration of the founding anniversary of the fraternity who started it.
This year, UP celebrates its centennial year. Last year, the lesser known school of Hogwarts held its own. My blog entry on this and more Oblation photos at Shooting Churches, Eating Noodles.

Anche un nano, salendo di gradino in gradino una scala alta abbastanza, può giungere più in alto di un gigante. (proverbio cinese)
Questa è la scala che porta alla sommità di "The Monument" a Londra, tra Monument Street e Fish Street Hill.
Fu costruito tra il 1671 ed il 1677 su progetto di Sir Christofer Wren (St. Paul Cathedral) per commemorare la rinascita della città dopo il grande incendio di Londra del 1666.
E' alto 61 metri, l'esatta distanza tra il monumento e Pudding Lane, dopo l'incendio ebbe inzio.
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.
UP 9403 leading a long train of empty autoracks up Cajon pass near Silverwood. You know they are empties because California doesn't have any plants that build cars in SoCal anymore, and hasn't had for quite some time.
UP 3794 heads the WCLOVG-08 (Work: Caliente, NV to Oroville, CA: Gang) westbound near Milepost 373.
After this shot was taken, I shredded a rear tire, and eventually had to limp the 150 miles home on a "donut" style spare.
UP SD70ACe #1989 passes the coal load-out of Justus Coal Company in Revilo, Kentucky with NS 46Z grain train in tow. This load-out, though idled, is the last great stand in McCreary County coal. A place once home to the mighty Stearns Coal Company. This simple black diamond product was once the lifeblood of this area, much like most of Appalachia. Unfortunately, again like most of the region, it's time has seemingly departed. The large Justus mine stands still as a symbol of yesterday.
I was originally headed to Harriman, TN to set up for this, but by luck, ran into Matt Jones and Justin McCravey in Wartburg and decided to turn north and head for Kentucky. This proved to be a very wise move as this train would not make Harriman until well after dark. Now looking back, I'm glad I setup at Justus instead...
Virgin Trains East Coast 43300 leads this spectacle along the Birmingham to Derby main line with Network Rails 43013, Grand Centrals 43423, Pioneer 41001 with matching stock and East Midlands 43048 bringing up the rear. The working was 5Z43 06.29 St Philips Marsh to Derby Etches Park
