Visited with family in WI this past week and was able to stop by the CP (former Milwaukee Road) / CN (former Soo) junction at Duplainville. It's a busy spot.

Wife and I attended a car show yesterday. I'm amazed at the skills possessed by some owners!

Taken by my college student kid in Knoxville with a cell phone. I thought it turned out pretty neat.

Also found the former Piedmont & Northern depot in Greer, SC under renovation. The P&N favored stucco walls and tile roofs on their structures and fortunately a few of them remain.

Had some time on Saturday afternoon to check out Norfolk Southern's mainline between Greenville, SC and Spartanburg, SC. I'd never seen much of this portion of the line. Caught a few shots and found some locations worth revisiting. Taylors, SC: Wellford, SC:

Local pool, finally open. The curving bullnosed brick caught my eye here.

A small footbridge crossing a creek in our neighborhood.

Stopped at Fairforest, SC just missing seeing a train, but a look at the signals indicated more action was to come. In fact, three more moves followed in twenty minutes. :) A westbound stacker: On his heels, a westbound light engine move: and an eastbound stacker:

I didn't want to post this shot in the Birds In Flight thread, because he was just sitting there trackside like I was. :)

Two shots taken yesterday, the first at Clemson, SC of NS 265 with the Virginian heritage unit lending a hand and the second near Jarrett, GA on the Tugaloo River bridge at the GA/SC state line. I tried in vain for this shot many times in the late '80s, and finally hit paydirt yesterday after a...

Today would have been Conrail's 45th birthday. I still miss "Big Blue". This Kodachrome dates from almost 32 years ago to the day, taken in the heart of PRR country at Altoona, PA on 04/04/1989. [Nikon N2020]

Not very large, but a hard worker in the tractor tradition was our family International Harvester Cub Cadet 123 seen here in 1975. With its mighty 12 HP, my brother and I mowed neighborhood lawns all summer and cleared driveways all winter. Dad bought the gas and paid for the maintenance...

This field adjacent to the Blue Ridge Southern at East Flat Rock, NC is usually home to some dairy cows, but none were to be found while I chased the train. The farmer had a sign posted nearby which read Cow pictures are free Bulls charge :D

Thank you. I hadn't thought of a lotto win, but you might be on to something there. :) I also caught this backlit NS stacker at Fairforest, SC on the same day.

In a case of serendipity, I found Blue Ridge Southern working the most distant extremity of their line yesterday, once NS's to Saluda, NC and the famous grade, once the steepest mainline grade in the U.S. and now out of service. I'd taken a shortcut, expecting to see the usual cuts of stored...

From October 1979, L&N GE U-30C 1573 awaits its next assignment at Knoxville, TN. Not the best lighting, but what ya gonna do? [Kodachrome, Nikon EL-2]

I finally found a nice day to wax the new GTI. I'm sure my 0-60 times are a bit quicker now. :cool:

N&W 611 departs Attalla, AL for Chattanooga, TN. It's a beautiful 04/01/1989 morning and she's on her first fantrip of the season. [Kodachrome, Nikon N2020]

I stopped at the same location at sunset five days later and caught a northbound intermodal train. The light wasn't great, but I cranked off a few shots. Note that the two units are the same as in my shots from above! :eek:

As seen yesterday, a 1965 Porsche 356C available for $135,000 USD (£97,500 GBP). Safe to say, it will not reside in my garage. :cool:
