Midweek Photos 1/4/12 --->

Grrr. That's what I get for sleeping in late. When I get home, I will repost! Don't let my mis-step bother you. Keep posting... I'll catch up.


Lesson Learned. Don't try a routine function normally performed on the Mac at home, and expect it to work as well on the PC at work. LOL

Well, it's been to cold and nasty for the old man to venture forth, so I dug one
up from the files I liked, here's the small version:

Watch out doggie, it ain't the same as chasing a car!

Hi there,

I don't have any pics to post of my own. I wish I was able to get my own pics of the ARR steam engine move yesterday. The local newspaper sent a photographer to the ARR Media Event. Local tv crews were also on hand and KTUU - Channel 2 News, will have a segment tomorrow on the steamer. 1-5-12

Here's a link to the Newspaper photo spread.

Gee Tim, maybe we're on a roll here! Let's keep putting up some cool window shots, eh? Last week I passed on posting "best of past year" photos, but this week looks like I'll be doing a version of that. Every year I go to Chicago for the annual Center for Railroad Photography & Arts convention. They have an annual photo contest. This year it's being judged by Richard Steinheimer's widow. Not much money in it if you win, but I'll enter again this year. I think I've posted at least two of these three before. I'd call the competition "open class pro", (Steve Crise, Howard Ande, Keith Burgess just to name a few) but I think the shots I sent in are least solid. (1) Conductor looks bored as he waits for an e/b to pass by near DeSmet, SD. (2) Excited children exchange waves with the crew of UP 844 at Atchison, KS. (3) BNSF switch job returns back to the yard over the Falls Trestle, Sioux Falls, SD.

I can imagine how exciting it must be for kids to watch a train go by and have the crew wave back at them. That's a great photo.



I would like to be a kid again and stand on the platform and wave at the crew! Now one has to be so careful with picture taking etc. The innocence of yonder years is not like what it used to be.
