BPRR 3000 works the former Central Vermont yard at White River Junction. After a few shots here, I headed north to intercept the VRS detour move.
A brand new spot for lineside photography at the time of taking this image. With the sun moving round to this side of the line, here we see ÖBB locomotive 1116 191 working the 10:16 service from Munich to Villach (EC115) on the afternoon of the 26/1/26. The train was captured arriving into Mallnitz-Obervallech in perfect winter conditions.
My mathematical son Max sketching a mathematical representation of a glider. That's right, a glider. An engine-less airplane.
Yeah, it doesn't make sense to me, either. And that's the point of this photo. So much of what has happened to me this year hasn't made sense.
But I'm working on it. And I'm soo grateful for the friendship and family I've found here on Flickr. <3
I'll be home tomorrow, and back to making snarky comments on your photos, but in the meantime, I'd like to wish each of you a new year of sunny skies, clear eyes, beckoning horizons, storm-tossed seas, raucous laughter, cozy comforts, peace, joy, forgiveness, and above all, love. :D
Southern Railroad of New Jersey (SRNJ) #800 works the Universal Supply Company in Pleasantville. Currently their only ALCO with a working horn, the 800 gives a nice hit of classic ALCO smoke as it notches out of the facility.

As you can see there really isn't a nest here but this is the tree that the eagles have chosen to try to build a nest in. This has been going on now for two weeks. The eagles keep bringing branches into this "Y" of the tree and every one of them have fallen to the ground. They are very persistent though. I would like to climb up there and nail a few branches in and give them a head start, but I think they will figure it out on their own.
Working hard for something we don't care about is pain. Working for something we believe (with or without tomorrow) is a blessing.

The birds have a life span of up to 25 years.The practice of fishing with cormorants is an ancient tradition in China that is now dying out as the fish populations decline in the rivers and it is now practised primarily for the tourist industry. This bird was preening and had a feather stuck to its bill.
