It's pretty amazing how fast your children grow up, isn't it? Seems just like yesterday we were chasing frogs and catching fireflies.
Here she is for her Junior Prom, all dressed to the nines. She is so very smart too, recently back from Washington DC where competed in the US National Science and Engineering Symposium. Of course her best quality is not one you could capture, it is that heart of gold she has!

UP MOPAC heritage unit 1982 is seen quietly resting in the Jefferson City Mill Bottoms awaiting viewing by members of the MP Historical Society the next day. She's looking pretty good despite the frame stripe and the fuel tank.
UP 1983 on the point of CORP 508, the Eugene to Medford hauler that uses UP power between Eugene and Roseburg. Taken under the I-5 overpass along Franklin Blvd. near Goshen, Oregon. Nice to see a heritage unit even if it's technically not on the UP!
After waiting a couple of hours after the IOANP passed, the ICBOA got the highball out of the Lathrop Intermodal Terminal for a late afternoon run over Altamont Pass today. Fortunately the late spring light worked out nicely. I captured the train at Goecken Road, just east of the Greenville Trestle on the west slope in Livermore in dynamic braking as it drifts off the pass. Westbound intermodals on the Oakland Sub are almost non-existent though this is the second ICBOA in June 2025. We'll see if this becomes a regular occurance...
Treblinka, he is reputed to have picked up the bleeding body of a baby lying on the ground and turned to those with him saying: This is holiness, purer than all purity, a Jewish child…. These 'defiled' ones, when they see a Jewish child in the arms of his mother are immediately filled with the urge to murder … the forces of tumah, demonic defilement, cannot endure the sight of holiness, the spirit of purity that hovers over the face of a Jewish child.

The purpose of this trip was to set up a temporary medical clinic in the rural village of Ekumfi Obidan in Ghana. These people did not have access to modern healthcare. Interestingly enough, Ghana has a fledgling government run universal healthcare system. One must purchase a card every year to be covered. The card costs around the equivalent of U.S. $7 per year, but many of these people still cannot afford that. Throughout our stay, we saw over 700 patients; a large percentage of whom were afflicted by malaria or parasitic worms.
I'd been meaning to build an autorack for ages, but never got around to it. Part of my dismay had been that the clearance limit at my club (14 high from the baseplate) was too low to look realistic. So here's my 14 high from the baseplate car carrier in UP armor yellow. It's built upside down all the way to the roof. I saw this on brickshelf and had to use that roof. I wanted to do it in metallic silver, but once I found out the price I decided white would be just fine! It's 44 long and well over may scale's 500 gram limit.
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!
This week's theme: Pin up girl
this is the most revealing photo i've uploaded here, ergo the reservation to hide my face :)
this is a modern interpretation of the pin up girl popularized during the war by betty grable, greta garbo, anita page, etc (to name a few) back in 1910
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.

sliding into the sea, on the crests of the waves, the wind, every stroke.

deslizando no mar,nas cristas das ondas,a favor do vento,a cada remada.
