The ambiance seen here was somewhere between Sunnyside UP and Over EASY 🌟

Definitely one of British Columbia's best kept secrets.

Thank-you for all the overwhelming support and many friendships.

Thank you all for your clicks, comments and faves.

Fog was the name of the game this AM and it was crazy thick in spots and in other places like here at 26.5 there was a sucker hole that you could shoot through.

The Canada Goose is a species a lot of people take for granted, but they actually have lots of interesting traits that are appealing. They help each other when flying together in formation by drafting off each other and taking turns doing the hard work at the front. Two or three adults will work cooperatively to look after the young of many goose families, allowing the other adults to feed or rest. It is cool to see 20 or 30 goslings following single file behind an adult across a pond. They can get a bit feisty when they feel threatened, but mostly they prefer to relax and just get on with enjoying life and raising their young.

This photo was taken at a popular urban park when a pair of big geese (some subspecies are much smaller) were taking off to carry on with their migration and were cooperative enough to fly low right past me. They gave me, a fellow Canadian, a friendly 'honk' as they passed. LOL

'Hastings' (Hunslet, 1888) and Isibutu (Bagnall, 1945) start making their way up the short gradient to Statfold Junction.

Wish I had more time to play this morning but just a quick shot of the sunrise through my scratched up sunglasses. I guess it's time for a new pair and perhaps to use a glasses case to prevent the scratches.

Ok fine, you get a photo today because I have a feeling that eventually something will go right and I can replenish the vault. I also find few reasons to complain about this one.

Goff, OR // UP Portland Sub

An architecture shot from Liverpool, UK (December 2024).

The "Spirit of the Union Pacific" leads a business train tied up at Union Depot. I would have gotten several more shots but the Highway Patrol came up to my spot noting that this was highly illegal etc. and several people had called 911 to report a dangerous situation. It's a good thing I still can tap dance since after a brief conversation, he just asked me to leave. (Phew)

Thanks to Douglas and Shawn for the heads up.

Up close.

This building looks very unsafe and derelict, yet I believe the ground floor is still in use!

We've moved east now and to the town of Revelstoke where we stopped for lunch. We were greeted by the curious sight of the main street being closed with the road having been dug up and being readied for resurfacing. I imagine frost and snow damage takes its toll in these parts

Figueres ...

This wild consist ended up on the MNLCB. They made it through KC quickly last night and had an ETA of about 0600 into Omaha - not ideal.

I woke up around 6 to see a series of messages in the local groupchat, thanks Randall the Vandal. Another northbound three trains ahead of MoP had an engine failure around Nebraska City and brought a fleet of five trains to a stop. The rescue engine took hours to procure, meaning I had a shot at this MoP/Espee pair.

I found them getting a recrew at Julian about an hour after technical sunrise. Finally an hour after official sunrise the smoke cleared and the traffic jam began to roll north.
