A Cold Morning by Jonathon Leese, on Flickr

Re: Daily Uploads
How did you like the hike up "my hill" ? I laid that all out so the Favreau's would have a nice buildable lot with that view. I'm surprised they didn't build a new house there and then sold their house on the east end of the property. Mr Favreau was a pleasure to deal with acquiring the ROW to build the new road alignment.

Re: Daily Uploads
Well, it was almost 12 years ago, so I don’t really remember. I have been up there more recently though, just to scout out pictures. The foliage has definitely grown up more on that hill since then.Raildudes dad wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 1:58 pmHow did you like the hike up "my hill" ?

I didn't even look for a date. I assumed it was last Saturday. I was thinking I thought we had removed that row of silt fence a number of years ago. Duh.........

Both sides of the moon by David R. Collins, on Flickr
I thought this shot I took was cool of K596 stopped with both the shady side and bright side of the SD70MACe leader.

No, a friend and I were in town checking out the Mad River & NKP Museum and 2 W&LE trains happened to come by. 16 years later, those are still the only W&LE trains I’ve ever seen.AARR wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 6:12 pmNice picture SD80 .

Swanton by Jonathon Leese, on Flickr
A GP60 rolls into the siding at Swanton, OH, passing the classic Conrail tri-lights and bracket mast that once stood here. The dwarf on the pole is interesting, too. I don't think I've been to Swanson since then, but I'm sure these signals are long gone. 3/25/2011
Indiana & Ohio by Jonathon Leese, on Flickr
Running as 401 on the CN, IORY #4083 heads south on the old DT&I through Carleton. Even though it's part of the orange borg now, this is a job I wouldn't mind shooting again. 9/16/2011

Tier 4 ACe Over Buck Creek by Jonathon Leese, on Flickr
One of CSX's ten EMD SD70ACe-T4s (classified as ST70AHs by CSX) leads Q326 over Buck Creek in Grandville. I'm glad to have finally caught one of these beasts leading! 1/19/22
Hump Power by Jonathon Leese, on Flickr
A pair of Norfolk Southern's SD33ECOs, with a slug in between them, roll through Inman Yard on a chilly January morning in Atlanta. The units will eventually tie on to the rear of the cut of cars on the left and shove them over the hump. 1/8/22

D706 Eastbound by Jonathon Leese, on Flickr
After having troubles with SD40-3 #4026, D706 leaves Grand Rapids with SD40-2 #8849 doing all of the work to pull the dead trailer and roughly 40 cars out of town. This was the last hurrah for 8849 on D705/D706, which had been on the jobs for a few weeks at this point. 12/28/2021
Saginaw River by Jonathon Leese, on Flickr
Central Michigan #8804 leads C30-7 #5086 and B30-7 #5492 across the frozen Saginaw River on a brutally cold (but sunny) February day back in 2011. After crossing the river, the HESR's 702 will turn southwest and head for Durand. 2/8/2011
