Between the shorter days and regular work at the autoport L516 is seldom seen in the daylight here these days. So it was today by the time they got here. It was a really nice night so when I heard them preparing to switch the siding I went out to sit on the deck and watch. There were 10 empty tie cars to retrieve off the siding, I watched them go about the pickup in the dark. Once they backed down the main the headend lined up precisely with the backyard when they made the joint. I figured it was worth attempting a shot with the power spotted so well. I grabbed the camera out of the house while the conductor was walking back up to the point and set up the Canon on the seat of the old Allis Chalmers B, trying a few test shots. It wasn't long before the conductor climbed up and settled in to update his paperwork. A minute later the highbeams were back on and L516 back underway for Stevens Point.

This is work on the Transpennine Upgrade.
The rail route between Manchester and York, passing through Leeds and Huddersfield is being upgraded to carry faster and longer trains.
The sole remaining train that still sports a caboose. Although the B&B gang still use a caboose they need the company work train to move it from location to location. On occasion if they don't have too far to travel the B&B crew will move their cars with a locomotive crane.

Why am I posting a Xmas scene in July? Well, the Elves have to work in the off season to keep up with the Xmas demand. And it looks like they're doing a pretty good job of it. I asked for a sample, but they have a quota to meet and thought I'd reduce their inventory too much. They were right too. Elves are always right.
The brick factory work is seasonal and the employment is contractual, utterly insecure and wage is piece-rated. Though man & woman workers comprise about one-half of the total workforce in every factory, they hail from the families that survive by working as labourer in every conceivable sense; they are from lower caste and class.
