Having a received a highball, Southern Pacific Daylight No. 4449 is steaming up as it slowly moves out of Owosso, Michigan, en route to Alma, Michigan, during the 2009 steam festival. Alas, it was an overcast morning with light rain falling. (Scanned from a slide)

UP train ITDM or ITKC, I don't remember for sure, headed South on the BNSF at Foxboro. No mis-taking the heritage of this unit. 02/05/06
Okay the thing is with my #2 Gil is that his joints were unusually stiff and really emphasised how limited the joints were, especially since I intended for this Gil to wear kimono and kneel a bunch. I expected for a single joint to be limited but the fact is, Gil couldn’t even bend his knees far enough to kneel let alone make it look natural enough.
So I took a knife to the behind of his legs and carved out crescent moon shapes so more of his knee joint was exposed and his leg could bend enough for him to kneel naturally. Unfortunately, his legs are hollow plastic so if you carve out as much as I did, it WILL leave really unsightly holes. But since it’s behind his leg I don’t mind, plus he’s most likely to be wearing yukata to expose the knees.
This actually solved his knee joints being stiff so I carved out some plastic behind his ankle to be able to be en pointe and it’s easier to pose him.
I also took out some plastic from his elbows so he could touch his face better but I didn’t far enough as I wanted because his arms are also hollow plastic and I could see the plastic be really thin, which is sad since normal MH boy arms are hard vinyl.
However, I’m happy my Gil #2 can pose better now. My poor #1 Gil can’t keep up with him.

Union Pacific Railroad GTEL (Gas Turbine Electric Locomotive) 6 at Council Bluffs, Iowa on an unknown day in February 1963, photographer unknown (but it looks like Dick Rumbolz handwriting on the Kodachrome slide mount), Chuck Zeiler collection.
UP 6310, one of the final five patched ex-SP AC44CWs, is working in DPU service along with two already rebuilt C44ACMs, after being attached mid-train to the MPDRV at Eugene. Recently Union Pacific has announced another order of AC44CW rebuilds from Wabtec that this time seems like it will cover the rest of the entire fleet, meaning the final five will end up in fresh coats of yellow paint sooner rather than later. The location is McCredie Springs, on Union Pacific’s Cascade Subdivision in Oregon. Locomotive consist is UP 7978, 6822, and 9002 on the point, with UP 6310, 5743, and 6278 mid-train in DPU mode. The final five patched SP AC44CWs are UP 6236, 6310, 6318, 6378, and 6379. Picture taken November 16, 2025.
One of the last images from my Canon G11 test. Having said that, I've enjoyed using the camera so much that there's a good chance I'll continue to use it for a while yet.
I was trying to get a low-down close-up back-lit (got to love the hyphens) image of this leaf, and was ably assisted by both the vari-angle screen and 100% magnification manual focus functionality.
Quite happy with the results.

It was 106 on the Orange County soccer field today, and my son played his 3rd full game of the weekend. They fell to the eventual champs, but it was a great game.

58007 'Drakelow Power Station' sits in Worksop Up yard, waiting to depart with an engineers train for Doncaster Up Decoy on 22nd March 1997.
One thing for certain, the sun sure sets really fast this time of year. Normally I'd be looking forward to sitting in a stand waiting for a monster buck to walk by, but thanks to the temps being too warm for that type of activity, I guess I'll have to settle for piss bricks on the UP.
Here we have this evenings fine image of a Tier-IV GEVO pulling a piss poorly loaded stack train. I guess I should be thankful that the UP sucks so bad, keeps my job safe.
