KJRY on a winter's day and fog weather shots...
Thankfully it hasn't been as cold as it was and managed to get above 35
so figuring a Westbound might pull through I do a short drive to a few
spots for fog winter shots to pass the time til they might pull into Canton.
I go to Bryant and take a few pictures there of the old Interurban depot
there and the BNSF Yates City sub tracks as well as a few other random
shots. I like weather pictures so it kind of sparked interest when I seen
how foggy it was this morning. I go up to Cuba and head back unto
Canton and seen no KJRY. I figured maybe they are running another
day or did yesterday which I didn't hear so I go home for a bit.
My Brother n law used the car and whom do I hear KJRY's horn ofcourse.
Haha My luck and timing sometimes. I didn't think I would catch them
at all today and Scott comes home. I go down to Cuba to see if I can catch
up and I see the last car depart Cuba so I head it off at Highway 95 between
Cuba and Smithfield. I film it there then take some pictures in Smithfield
and Seville. I know so many other people get alot better shots and locations
but i'm cautious so I stay in places I know. Safety is always first i anything
in life. Before I filmed at the crossing over the highway a van pulls up and a
man being driven by a woman asks me if I'm okay. I respond I'm fine and
thank them. I've had that happen quite a few times in the last few months
even at the Railfan Santa event when the men were on the other side with
cameras set up but someone pin points me and asks if i'm okay. I am very
greatful people show concern but i have to wonder if some aren't just curious
or is it because i'm female and it's a rarity in this hobby. If my car crapped out
I'd have the emergency lights on or the hood up as well as try to flag someone
down. I do appriciate it but it does make me nervous sometimes because I
have to explain myself and what I'm doing and I have gotten some of the
strangest looks. Haha. I guess every railfan gets that from time to time but
sometimes I do feel singled out due to gender. Maybe it's because I feel
society wants me to be something I'm not. Make up, dresses and all that
god awful girly crap. Then my interests doesn't interest many and they
think I'm weird so I stand apart. It's good to be unique but sometimes it
also has an odd effect on anxiety and fear of judgement. I'm nuts though
so probably my mind set. To be fair my Dad and a few relatives used to
tell me I should act more like a lady. Ummmm why because society wants me
to be. LOL. No I'm not transgender either or gay. That was not a dig at
anyone so don't take that wrong. I'm a married woman to a man but I also
like things guys like that few women wouldn't give two shits about. I am
me and that's all I ever want to be.
