Also found CSX 4568, an Operation Lifesaver SD-70AC at Cayce, SC on Train L644. Numerous North American railroads operate differently painted Operation Lifesaver locomotives to promote highway crossing safety. [D5100]

Today's Train 18D, a solid train of BMWs from upstate South Carolina headed to the Port of Charleston for export. [D5100]

That's an amazing bird and I very much appreciate your explanation of its special bill. I find myself showing quite a few of your photos to my family as they walk past my desk when I'm on Nikonites. We all enjoy them. Thanks!

< Quit using so much wax. ;) > Haha! I laughed out loud at that comment. :D You're probably correct on the reflections. Good suggestion on the polarizing filter. I have one around here somewhere.

Thank you Chuck. I also took it on a run both ways on the Tail of The Dragon and had a really fine time. As you suggested, I'll probably buy a few photos from Killboy. I'm not sure yet which ones, I have a bunch to choose from.

Mk1 VW GTI [D5100]

My GTI in the overcast. Curiously, my D5100 cannot capture a good image of this color in direct sunlight. The facet of the car in the sun (like the hood) looks very light blue, almost white, while somewhat shaded sides look normal. To add to the oddity, my modest iPhone (SE 2020) is...

Graffiti-free carload of Vitamin C at Wildwood, FL [03/08/1987, Kodachrome, Nikon N2020]. Tropicana's enduring logo with orange grove girl Tropic Ana has since been retired.

Agreed on the DSG. I test drove both transmissions back-to-back and found the DSG to be unlike any automatic I'd ever driven, lightning quick and almost intuitive in its gear selection. Regarding the manual, I should have known something was up because VW removed the time-honored golf ball...

My VW GTI, but not my caboose. :) Read a few days ago that VW will eliminate the option for a manual transmission in the GTI, offering one last special edition with a manual in 2024. Mini too will eliminate their manual gearbox after 2024. These are sad times for those of us who prefer...

Also took a photo of the Seaboard's McBee, SC station and an ACL/SCL M-5 Caboose there. There's a fine little rail museum inside the depot, which is also the town's library. The rail line through McBee was completed in early 1900, as John Skelton Williams stitched together segments of acquired...

:D🤣:unsure:

Very nice! I like your use of black and white on these. (y)

Today's CSX train L645 at Cassatt, SC.

From 07/24/1976 at Flemington, NJ, Black River & Western's No. 60 leads a tourist-laden train out of town. She'll run six miles to Ringoes, NJ and return. No. 60 was built in 1937 for Great Western, a Colorado sugar producer. She still runs today.

Back in those youthful days, any train picture was a good train picture, right? :) Yep, good times. I wish I'd been more venturesome when I was a teen, but I knew my mother would never let me borrow the car for unnecessary outings like train chasing.

Another shot not lost on black and white film was this one of a ragged black PC E-8 at Red Bank, NJ on 07/05/1977.

Thank you Chuck. I try to remind myself that at least I captured something on film back then, better than nothing. In that same week in July 1976, I caught Central Railroad of New Jersey RS-3 1554 at work in Flemington, NJ. Weathered and painted in somber black, I didn't lose much with black...

From 07/22/1976 at Hoboken, NJ, GE U-34CHs are ready to pull commuter trains to the suburbs. With 1976 being the U.S.A.'s Bi-Centennial, many of the nation's railroads painted select locomotives in celebratory red, white and blue. Conrail's 1776 was an example. Being a teen in college, I...

Way too hot outside to be hunting up trains, so I'll press the [Rewind] button and stop at about 1976. We're at Barrington, IL and Elgin, Joliet & Eastern's Train No. 5 is working hard with heavy loads of coiled steel. The EJ&E was owned by U.S. Steel at the time. Shot on good ol' Kodak...
