There’s just something about my girl, Buttercup. 💛🚂

No matter how heavy life feels or how difficult a day has been, one glimpse of that bright yellow face can bring me a kind of happiness that’s hard to put into words. She’s my little ray of sunshine on even the cloudiest of days, and somehow, she always manages to fill my heart with joy.

On a beautiful Monday in October, when a chilly autumn morning gave way to an absolutely gorgeous afternoon, I set out simply to photograph my favorite girl. Little did I know I was capturing her final run of the season before she would be tucked away for her long winter’s rest.

The sunshine filtering through the autumn trees, the smoke drifting through the crisp October air, and that familiar yellow face glowing in the afternoon light made for a little bit of magic.

Sometimes happiness comes from the simplest, most unexpected places. And sometimes, it comes in the form of an old yellow locomotive named Buttercup.

Until next season, my sweet girl. Thank you for being a little bit of sunshine when I need it most. 💛🍂

A Brief Glimpse of Railroad History Beneath an October Sky…

On a beautiful October evening, two aging E-units, Lackawanna 807 and 808 (or as I affectionately refer to all roundy-nose engines…ABCDEFG Engines, because I never know which letter they actually are!), emerged from years of hiding to offer a rare glimpse into a bygone era.

Now resting in Eagle Bridge on the Battenkill Railroad, these magnificent old girls are awaiting the next chapter of their journey, hopefully somewhere down the rails where they’ll be given a little love and a chance at restoration.

Weathered by time, scarred by the elements, and wearing more than a few wrinkles of rust, they may be far removed from their glory days, but there’s something undeniably beautiful about them.

Every patch of peeling paint, every rusted scar, and every faded letter tells a story. A reminder that beauty isn’t always found in perfection, but sometimes in everything that has survived.

Railfans came from near and far to catch this rare glimpse of railroad history, cameras in hand and drones in the sky, sharing stories, admiring their weathered beauty, and offering wishes for safe travels as these old girls prepare for whatever adventures await them.

And as the October sun slowly slipped beneath the horizon, the sky erupted into brilliant shades of orange and gold, casting a breathtaking farewell glow over these forgotten pieces of railroad history.

For one fleeting evening, beneath the fiery colors of autumn, their scars became part of their beauty, and their uncertain future seemed just a little brighter.

A little rust, a whole lot of history, and hopefully a few more miles left in these old girls.

There’s a certain magic in September mornings—where beauty and melancholy seem to exist in the same breath. Fog settles quietly along the creek as spiders weave their delicate art, each web dressed in dew like a necklace of tiny crystals. There’s an ache to this season, but so much beauty in it too. Maybe that’s the magic of fall. 🍂🕸️✨

Fog in the Adirondacks, clouds wrapped around the mountaintops, then blue skies and sunshine dancing across Lake George. We spent the day on an island with great friends, watching the boats come and go and the mountains change with the sky.
It was a perfect day!

September rain has a way of making you feel the seasons changing. Summer still clings to the landscape in shades of green, while moody skies and drifting fog whisper that autumn is on her way. And I, for one, am more than ready for her arrival. 🍂

One year ago today, we found out that Chip was gone.

Tonight, we went back to the tracks and surrounded his place with light.

We brought his lanterns. We brought food. We brought stories and laughter and the people who loved him. We sat together where he belongs and celebrated our Number One Station Agent the best way we knew how.

And it was beautiful.

Tonight, though, you weren’t left in the dark.

We brought the light to you.

You are Loved and Missed by us all, Chip Ordway.

Forever our Number One Saratoga Corinth & Hudson Railway Station Agent. ❤️🏮
