With Snow falling, Ipswich Buses ADL Enviro 200 pulls away from Stutton on the 0825 Ipswich to Manningtree 92 service. KY55 UNY (77) was vice the usual Optare Versa. I belive these are quite sure footed on snow covered roads.
A 2nd shot of 66734 this time she is seen arriving at Hindlow Quarry. Hindlow Quarry is on Stearndale Moor which is pretty much the highest railway point in the area. The further east i ventured the snow became lighter. Even just a few miles away at Topley Pike the snow covering was much more patchy.
The tracks leaving the center of the right hand side of the frame lead to Dowlow Quarry just a few hundred yards further along the tracks.
66734 was working the 4H89 0510 Hams Hall to Hindlow.

An Excellent photograph taken by the late Alfred Palmer in 1942 that depicted the role that many women took on by working at our military defense plants during WWII. Their significant contribution, combined with our brave military forces and allies eventually led to the success of defeating the Axis powers. I took this image off the Internet and thought it was worth sharing once more, and highlighting the role that so many women played during that period. In this particular photo, the woman is taking a well earned coffee break, and doing so sitting next to a piece of some plane fuselage, possibly a C-47 military transport. Many of these women earned the moniker of "Rosey the Riveter"
And I think I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the unseen Grandma's, and their contributions. Many of these young women workers had children, and who watched those kids when mom went off to work at the defense plant, none other than Grandma! The unseen, and often unmentioned heroes for their contribution to the whole!
During World War II, Douglas joined the BVD (Boeing-Vega-Douglas) consortium to produce the B-17 Flying Fortress. After the war, Douglas built another Boeing design under license, the B-47 Stratojet turbojet-powered bomber, using a government-owned factory in Marietta, Georgia.
World War II was a major boost for Douglas. Douglas ranked fifth among United States corporations in the value of wartime production contracts. The company produced almost 30,000 aircraft from 1942 to 1945, and its workforce swelled to 160,000. The company produced a number of aircraft including the C-47 Skytrain, the DB-7 (known as the A-20, Havoc or Boston), the SBD Dauntless dive bomber, and the A-26 Invader.
The Photographer:
As a young man, Palmer traveled around the world as the official photographer on several different cruise lines. When he returned to America, Palmer set out across America documenting everything that captured his interest. Around this time, he was chosen to head the photography department of President Roosevelt's Office of Emergency Management (OEM). Their goal was to rally and inform citizens about the use of their tax dollars via vividly captured photo stories. Palmer developed his gritty style on these assignments, capturing the geometry of mechanical form with the emotional range of men and women at work.
This eventually led him to the Office of War Information and later the Farm Security Administration. Palmer’s emphasis was on the typical American hard at work on the home front. His photographs were also an integral part of the campaign to change the public attitude toward women joining the work force. He showed women as patriotic, glamorous, and capable, working on fighter planes as well as assembly lines. Palmer also focused on the dedication and dignity of the black labor force and worked with the chief of the News Bureau Negro Press.
Palmer’s belief in promoting the strength of the people permeated his entire career. His works were praised for their symbolic power, conveying the courage and determination that Roosevelt sought to arouse in the nation. Alfred Palmer passed away in 1993, leaving a legacy of photographic work.

A pair of Hilton and Albany (HAL) SD40-2s return from the Chattahoochee Industrial yard (CIRR) as they prepare to switch the yard at Hilton.
Being a bit braver this time with the shutter speed, I gone for another pan shot of 43238. Seen passing Cossington working the 1B63 1645 Nottingham - London St Pancras International. My last pic of this powercar before it was withdrawn later that week. 19/4/21.
the tactor working the field producing the dusty residue as it truddles along. I tried to get closer to use a shorter lens, however the was not possible.
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. Just short of Holden they stopped and made 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 the rickety s-curve lead track down into the plant that leave main track 4 at MP 198.

The pandemic has changed our lives in many ways -
Some for the good; some well maybe not.
Alcohol abuse has increased during the coronavirus pandemic, according to the British Liver Trust, which has reported a 500% rise in calls to its helpline since lockdown began in March.

An Alaska Railroad crew is working Whittier yard with a pair of SD70MACs getting ready to double up a big 120N freight of mixed manifest and intermodal traffic off the AML barge up from Seattle that they will take north to Anchorage a little later.
Whittier is the ARRC's main port for interchange of both containers and railcars which arrive via the weekly AML barge from Seattle. The containers are stacked on racks two or three high above the main barge deck which contains 8 tracks for interchange of railcars to and from the BNSF & UP. The concrete structure rising beyond is the long abandoned Buckner Building, once the largest building in Alaska. And the single track at left and the tent structure beside it is the ARR's passenger 'station' which mostly serves passengers walking directly across the street to and from waiting cruise ships.
