A large male red deer announces the start of the day as he steps out from woodland cover to challenge rival males.
VIA No. 2 is right on time, and it's making me wish I were aboard enjoying an early morning cup of coffee and a rolling view of Canada's prairies west of Landis, Sask., on July 14, 2016. I've held back on this photo for just over 2 years, but after being upstaged by a certain train dispatcher who shall remain nameless one too many times, I could not miss the opportunity for a one-up.

This Yellow Warbler didn't let me get close but I managed to get a couple shots off at a distance before it flew. It actually went to the tray feeder next but don't think it was there long enough to actually get anything.
Five plus ALCO/MLWs are spotted in front of the WNY&P shops in Olean, New York on a foggy Friday morning. From left to right: #417, ex-CP RS18, #431, ex-NYC C430, and #435, ex-CP C424.
With CSX's Dash 8 fleet being purged from the roster once again, this time likely for good, I made a spontaneous trip over to the Fitzgerald Sub to hunt down local job L738, which is currently operating with an endangered C40-8W and C40-9W pair, both in YN2 paint. Based out of Fitzgerald, Georgia, the pair (plus an ES44AH that thankfully trailed last) shot down to Waycross and back through the Georgia farmland, affording me what may well be my last view of CSX Dash 8s doing what they were built to do. Here, at the first shot of the chase, CSXT 7894, 9039 and 3101 chug out of Fitzgerald in some stellar morning sun.
We have been very fortunate here in Virginia to have had the Amtrak 50th Anniversary units around multiple times. Far and away my favorite of these locomotives is the 160 "Pepsi Can". I knew due to the rotation and sightings south that it was leading Amtrak 80 back into Virginia on Sunday morning. As I checked the Amtrak app Saturday evening, I saw they were already running behind, which is what I needed for a daylight run on the northern end of the RF&P. The moody Sunday morning highlighted this sharp scheme well, and I was thrilled with the scene as 80 crossed over Powell's Creek in Neabsco, Virginia. This was well worth my 5 AM wakeup call, and the extra cup of coffee.

Day 3 of our adventure brought us to the "Electric City" of Scranton, PA. and the Delaware Lackawanna Railroad. After a great day on the B&H and the LAL, we had little sleep before our 0430 wakeup call came to get us ready for another day of ALCO action. DL Train PO-74 with MLW 1970 built M-630 3000, C-636 3642, and C425 2461 departed the city for Ardent Mills at Mt. Pocono with 15 loads. It was a really sunny morning and dad figured the Elmhurst Reservoir would be perfect, and it was. So at a few minutes before 8 o"clock, a trio of MLW and ALCOS raced by us, it was a great start to the day.

It's Time to Wake Up
A poem by Peter S. Quinn
The days are going by,
Motionless black sea;
Through open unknown sky,
Into new times delivery.
The hours were strangers,
Joints are made of waves;
Burgeoning tracks and changers,
Thoughts that no one craves.
The sun flower's coming up,
In dancing shadows dying;
There is no ending or a stop,
Only the brief hours flying.
Borders of dim to follow,
Seeking some reflection veils;
Ancient light now hollow,
Fresh morning of other avails.
Switching off blinking stars,
Dancing dawn now rising;
The peaceful going memoirs,
Into colors of life devising.
Slowly the falling night skies,
Road is awaken with living;
It's time to wake up and rise,
Moments of morning giving.
