CSX train Q364-18 is stopped for an emergency inspection on track 1 between Port Byron and Savannah, NY. In the background we can see the conductor and the closed High Bridge road.
A UP SD40-2 leads an extra Butler - Proviso train south out of Butler as the snow comes down on a lovely winter's afternoon.

Bec's doing well. She's going in for a cardiac ablation procedure on Tuesday, so until then it's waiting around, reading, eating bad hospital food and tolerating husbands taking photographs )
Yesterday I had an encounter with a very curious milkfactory :)
I love those cows and the milk they're producing.
Have a great week my friends!
Riding on the Hong Kong trams are awesome. No air con, open windows, mechanical sounds, and a rocky ride. It's also very cheap, and a great way to see the Island.
Rescanned the negative during COVID isolation. Kodak Tri-X, Nikon FM3a.
So it seems like Lego messed up with my latest parts order and sent me some not-yet-released prints that'll come with the microscale Diagon Alley (40289) instead of unprinted ones. I didn't bother too much about them, but realizing no one has probably seen them yet I thought I'd share a pic.
With lightning in the sky and before the heavy rains fell, I snapped a few frames of the UP business train sitting on the RIP track at Nahant Yard last night.
It is scheduled to depart Nahant today (9/10) at 0730 and will run to Butler, WI via La Crosse and Tunnel City, WI.

UP 7526 rolls past the signals at MP 24.5 on the UP Kansas Sub into the remnants of the sunshine from this evening.
This should have been a shot of a minty fresh GE in the new paint scheme but the usual UP BS stopped all that from happening. Instead you get a barely lit ISO 1000 shot of a stack train with a garden variety faded piss brick on the point.
I might post one of the better ones later.
With the bottom of lens just skimming the top of the water even 2 inch ripples look like waves..........

Dandelion-leaf with a guest looking up to the sun!
This week the MM-task "looking up" was very challenging: first of all I didn't know whether I should look up or it should look up or .... then I looked around and found lots of things that looked up or I looked up to, but there was no possibility for a macro shot around.
Finally, I found this dandelion-leaf. It was so cute to see how it sat there alone in the grass and "looked" to the sun.
happy WEV and happy MM!
Close-up of the left-front corner of a Ford Galaxy 500XL. I took this at the All Ford and Mustang Car Show at the Nashville Superspeedway in Lebanon, TN back in September.
This image is at HDR created from three photos that were bracketed at two stops over and under exposed. It was then converted to B&W in PS and the red was painted back in on a layer mask.

Yippe for Friday, everyone!
This is the first shot taken on my gawjus Manfrotto tripod, I pulled in near this field on my way home with it. No soon had I got it erect when POW! A man appeared asking me what I was doing....ummmm taking a photo?? I then nervously went into depths to explain it was a 3 bracketed shot, I was hoping to get a good HDR. I don't know why I told him this, I'm sure from the look he gave me it made no sense.
Anyhow after he had told me about people walking their dogs and spoiling nearby crops and not being respectful, I decided NOW was the time to do a silly shot, knowing that he'd gone away happy that I was trustworthy.
A 10 second timer dash, if you don't mind, in which I sustained a slight elbow injury, gawd knows how. And its not the best shot, but Im so happy with my new tripod that I decided to upload it even though it shows my horrid Hobbit feet off nicely.
From the archives.

UP SD60m #2329 leads on this Oakland to Pueblo work train as it heads East in DeBeque Canyon near Akin siding.
Right now, it feels like life is a crumbling brick wall.
Brick by brick, it's slowly falling apart.
And as hard as I try to put back the bricks that fell off, fix the grout,
keep it from crumbling more....
it just
keeps
crumbling.
