There is no wire here for these kind of shots so how about another from the archives a while back.
Those of you who follow my work know I have a thing for shooting freight under wire. Well this past Thursday I got a tip that CSXT Middleboro based daytime local B727 would be making a relatively uncommon move that was long on my wish list to shoot. B727 runs five days per week between Middleboro and Attleboro on the MassDOT owned and Mass Coastal maintained and dispatched Middleboro Subdivision serving customers and interchanging with the MC along the way.
On Thursdays they normally sneak out on to Amtrak's NEC main at BORO interlockong for a two and half mile shove west down Track 4 to East Junction to work a couple customers on that historic bit of trackage that I've written about in this caption: flic.kr/p/2jck93J
But there is one other customer in the area that every once in a while gets a switch. And on this day after shoving out they reversed direction and ran east a mile to a short twisting lead splitting off just short of Holden interlocking. This lead reaches down into the building of Polyfiber Inc. a subsidiary of Holland Manufacturing makers of industrial packaging, specialty coated and laminated products, water activated tapes and other products.
B726 has run the mile west with three cars trailing three GP40-2s. Here just short of Holden they will make two trips down and back on the lead to pull one empty and spot one load before shoving back east through Attleboro station toward East Junction. They are seen here on track 4 at MP 198 setting over the empty they just pulled from Polyfiber before starting back down the twisting lead with the load to spot.

Skene Terrace (again). Telephonic (?) spaghetti as the spring (who knows?) sun catches these wires and renders some bizarre shadows and lines.
i share my pics with a strange feel because since the time that i've shot them there happened the easily noticable changes right now, here for example that part of the street (which goes by the length of the frame) became only accessible for pedestrians, the asphalt has been changed on granite, suspended lamps - changed on the "retro" looking lamposts (with the LED lamps inside :-)
A shot of the Alberta prairie near Calgary taken just after midnight. The scene is illuminated by the near full moon to the back of me.
We have a lot of water this year, but you can see that the level has dropped as indicated by the weeds on the barb wire fence.
