Working on my magnum opus about spending 11 days driving a jeep across North America, following the alignment of the first transcontinental railway.

And having lunch.

Pretty sure it's a DC class locomotive, taken with a really heavy filter to slow down the exposure and make the sky look all boreal.

The bloke in the foreground did a good job at standing still.

And...

A "miscommunication."

Shirt is acceptable.

It's international stuff they're concerned about.

Staff training will ensue.

In other treaty news, I had to turn my Tiriti T inside out at the ASB Open - as it's too political - and life is neutral at tennis, apparently.

#trains I remember these locomotives from when I was at intermediate school - back in a kinder, mor gentle time historians like to call the early 1980s.

Today, they're in excursion service - and very dangerous.
