Like trains? Like storms? Like trains with storms? Me too. BNSF 1755, 1 of scant few SD40-2s still dressed in Santa Fe paint, races westward near Princeville, IL as a lazy convective system slowly moves east. Behind 1755 is a cabless GP60B, also a rare & endangered species. Also seen at Ransom, IL
You’ve crossed paths with him in the forest. You think he must be lost, but he knows it’s really you who are lost. #fursuitfriday
I hate that by the time I complete suit-up I’m already starting to sweat.
For more tornado-themed art, here is a piece featuring Bora by @corvuspointer.bsky.social I always want my characters to look like they may have bitten off more than they can chew; which isn’t to say they’re not enjoying it.
Back on my bullshit, lads. Not just because it’s #fursuitfriday it is #flappyfriday as well.
Wild! Officially the tornado was about a mile north of me at this point. Still quite a rush as the power flashes had me looking out for debris coming my way.
Happy Conrail Day to all who celebrate. 50 years since it was created, and almost 30 years since I took this photo from a signal. Bonus Taurus for ultimate 90s vibes.
Currently passing the exact location I took this video in another storm last year.
