Starting to get back into the swing of things a little bit. Still not on the bicycle but I have been making some trips down to the yard in the morning before work which so far has yielded some good results. All the snow is gone, the weather appears to be holding and I can’t wait to really get this show on the road.

Still alive, just deprived.
Good lord. I miss the life something terrible. Biking weather is coming back, just gotta get Opal in the shop for some work before we can hit the road again. And that means the yard on the daily. Hopefully though before then I’ll be able to get down there in the AM before work and get back into the swing of things. I walked down last weekend (or was it the weekend before?), but it was nothing but hoppers and a big snowy, muddy mess. Either way it was nice to just stand there. I’m glad Spring is pretty much officially here. Any longer and I was sure to perish.

Is it Spring yet?!
Seriously. This winter has been harder than past ones for some reason. The weather seems like it’s been worse and the yard has been empty every time I’ve been able to get down there. Pretty big bummer. But it’s February and March will be here soon which means bicycles and hopefully better weather, so hopefully things will improve soon. Not much going on here, but here a few flicks for now.

California: Part Two.
Another productive early morning allowed me to finish the last of the California flicks. A couple more days like this and I’ll be caught up with everything! Not much was left, but here goes.

Chicagoland: Round Three.
The third and final installment of the Chicago freight photos. I’ve been a little distracted lately so it took a little longer than usual to get these up, but nonetheless, here they are! Most of these are from a benching spot where trains run so often, I think I got more flicks here in one hour than I have since fall here in Madison. I need to go back.

Chicagoland: Round Two.
This next set of photos is the start of benching on my 2nd day in the Chicago area. I visited a hobo jungle and it was pretty neat. Definitely a cool place to either trainspot or catch out. It was the start to a very good day. And days like that don’t come often enough around these parts.

Chicagoland: Round One.
Here is the first part of the freight photos I took while down in the Chicago area. These are from a quick trip out to the yard area on New Year’s Eve. Much to my enjoyment, lots of activity and I benched my first set of autoracks. I’m just getting started on editing photos so there are plenty more to come.

Pre-Chicago, Post post post California flicks.
Hey there. Long time no flicks ‘eh? You’re telling me! December is always a brutally slow month for me regarding benching and flicks, but hopefully things will pick up again next month. In the meantime, I’m off to Chicago for New Year’s and to spend some quality time with some freights down there. I imagine (and really hope!) that I’ll be back with a boatload of graff, trains and other photos. In the meantime, here are some of the graffiti flicks I took in California that I never posted. I have more too, but this kicks it off and eventually I’ll have the rest up.
Photos are from various locations that include: Los Angeles, Long Beach, Seal Beach, Huntington Beach, Venice Beach and my hometown of San Bernardino. And as you’ll probably notice, a lot of photos were taken from the car.

Precursor.
Not much to really say about this set of flicks. Sunday on the way to work I strolled past the backyard to see what was up and had my heart broken by two strings of boxcars, one with a nice set of TBOXs that I could only look at from a distance. There was some activity at the front yard that I missed which only added insult to injury. It was warm for a few days after all the snow we got but foggy and dreary otherwise. Looking forward to this weekend which will hopefully afford me a little more yard time.

It Begins.
The snow has officially arrived. These photos are from Monday after we got our first significant measurable snow. As I post this though, the city is currently trying to come out from underneath an all out blizzard. Everything is shut down and there is so much snow everywhere. But it’s December in Wisconsin, so what can we really expect right?
And we’re just getting started on winter.
