M&E 19 and 18 are returning west from Kearny Jct. with five lumber cars and a boxcar. Ahead lies a quick, but rough 1.5% grade leading into Summit. All 4,800 HP would be needed for the climb and to keep them well ahead of an outbound Gladstone train. Normally they would be on track 1, but the TGIV was traversing east on track 2, making 1 eastbound only.
For a small short line, this was probably the most photographed train since the "Lehigh Limited" about 2 1/2 years earlier.
A few more shots from my recent woodland adventure with the toddlers at Bouldnor Forest (Near Yarmouth, Isle of Wight) on a bitterly cold winters day. The kids didnt seem to mind the weather as long as there were sticks to be played with, the adults were mostly happy to see the kids happy. All shot with the 50mm f1.2, making the most of the low winter sunlight available.

* PART TWO. Templeborough, Ickles Viaduct
It was hard to get the full set in along the viaduct and this was only achieved at the expense of having the lead units partially hidden by tree growth at the side of the line, something which later in the year would have meant no visibility at all. DB Cargo class 66s hurtle along 25 minutes late with 66079 leading and 66183, 66125, 66054 and 66108 following on the 0R03, Nuneaton to Doncaster Belmont Down Yard working. This must be another of those unique views here, seeing this number of locos together, though the GBRf delivery from Canada a few years ago, see-

would have been equally as impressive but without the backdrop of the Biomass Works. Apparently this facility has a 1MW output which, for the effort in construction and 'stuff' needed to run it, doesn't seem to be all that great an output especially when compared to E.on's facility at Tinsley which is 30MW and supplies enough power for 40,000 homes, and cost 120million pounds. As it was E.on who finally demolished the two iconic Tinsley cooling towers on 25th August, 2008, they have stated that-
'...E.on said it would establish a community benefits fund worth up to £25,000 a year to support local projects throughout the lifetime of the plant. It also said it was working with Sheffield City Council on a public arts competition, with the company committing £500,000 to a project to create a permanent art work for the area...'
Not sure what progress has been made with this but apart from the look of their building, there isn't any Artwork to be seen from the M1 or further afield, such as that ascribed by some to the 'Twin Towers' of the old Blackburn Meadows power station. I may be being an** about this but I wonder who, in the past, thought it a good idea to renumber the arches on the Ickles Viaduct. The original numbers ran from 1 to 7 with 1 being the Sheffield Road bridge and 7 the last arch before the River Don; the remaining ones being un-numbered. Then at some stage in the past, some wag deemed it appropriate to paint out this sequence and increase the numbers by 2, making the first arch 4 and the last one, before the river, 9 and seen in this picture, at the time it was done, one would have thought nobody would have cared anymore... a picture from the past, without any numbering sequence on the arches, can be seen here in the centre of the 3 images shown here-

Also visible in this shot, thankfully, on the far right of the picture on the Midland line, is the large Masbrough South Junction signal gantry controlling moves along the quadruple lines north and south, the many sidings and the lines to Holmes Junction across the large Masbrough South Curve bridge over the Sheffield & South Yorkshire Navigation; the large Midland signal box is also visible, to the gantry's left and the old Firth-Rixon building ends, poke into the picture at top left. How things used to be eh...

This is a 1958 "Field & Stream" Travel Trailer ( canned ham ). This vintage style of camping trailers were referred to as "car trailers" back when they were being built because of their size, light weight and ease of towing. The cabin part of the trailer is 12' long, the tongue is 2' making the total length only 14'. It pulls beautifully going down the highway, no fish tailing at all. You can forget your pulling a trailer.
This trailer is 95% original, no modifications. This trailer has not been restored and I have only made a couple of small repairs. If you are looking for a great platform for making a complete restoration then this would be an absolutely great trailer for such a project.
The interior is all wood, top to bottom and front to back and it is all original wood. I have installed a self-contained 12 volt electrical system and it doesn't need 120 volt. Everything runs off of 12 volts. However all of the original 120 volt wiring is still in place and hasn't been touched, even the original 120v light fixtures are still in place. All of the cabinet hardware is still in place, working and original. All the hinges, handles, and everything is original. The original "icebox" and oven/stove are still in the camper and work great. It also has the original factory installed "Kenmore" cabin heater and it also works great.
When I got the trailer someone had changed the paint scheme so I re-painted it to the original design. The rear couch makes into a double bed. Above the rear couch it has a removable bunk bed/hammock that is original factory equipment also. The dinette also makes into a double bed. There is a lot of storage in the camper. It also has a 10 gallon fresh water tank with a manual hand pump.
The trailer also comes with 2 30 lb propane tanks, a new spare tire and wheel.
The following items are new in the past three months:
New Interior 12 volt light throughout the camper
New 240 watt solar panel
New "Sunforce" 12v, 30 amp charge controller
4 new "Everstart" 750 cold crank amp deep cell marine batteries
New "Cen-Tech" 1500 watt continuous , 3000 surge 120v power inverter (for microwave, etc.)
New Rival 700 watt microwave
New manual water pump for sink
New Shakespeare SeaWatch 15" Marine TV Antenna (model 3015)
Toshiba 17' Flat Screen TV
All new blinds on the windows
New roof top vent
This is one great little camper. I bought it for hunting plus the nostalgia. It was used this past hunting season and worked great. However with four adult men it was a little cramped. So I plan to up size for next year. I pulled it off road in BLM land in Teller County and down in the Phantom Canyon area and had no problems at all.
Because this trailer is extremely rare there are not many sources of photos to be had but you can follow the link below to another "Field & Stream" trailer. As you can see the interiors are very similar as it is all original like mine: girlcamper.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
(Update) You can see a video of the interior of my camper here: youtu.be/NA1VfPU8Sd8
Now the best part last: YES, I DO HAVE A CLEAN CLEAR TITLE IN HAND, AND CURRENT REGISTRATION ALSO. So unlike most trailers you see of this vintage you will not have a problem with registration and it will be registered as a "Field and Stream" not a home-made trailer as is usually the case with trailers bought without a title.
If you have questions please ask. I am asking $5000.00 cash, make offer, no trades. I will sell it to the first person who makes me an agreeable offer with CASH ONLY. I will consider local delivery after the cash transaction.

ʻĪao Valley is covered in dense rainforest, most of which consists of introduced vegetation on the valley floor. The Puʻu Kukui summit area at the valley's head receives an average 386 inches (9.8 m) of rainfall per year,[2] making it the state's second wettest location after Mount Waiʻaleʻale.[3] Much of this rainfall ends up flowing into the ʻĪao Stream. Trails in the State Park run alongside ʻĪao Stream and through the forest.

Making biscuits is serious buisness in my house. My dad once told me he couldn't see the difference between homemade & from a can. I proved him wrong with my homemade version. It takes a bit of work but like all good things it is worth it!!
This is by far my favorite recipe, it comes from the Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook. The only part I disagree with is using a food processor to cut in the butter. I prefer to do it by hand. Overworking the butter in the dough is what ruins biscuits.
Bird-Head Buttermilk Biscuits
- makes about sixteen 2-inch round biscuits -
Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
2 1/4 cups sifted cake flour or 2 cups sifted bleached all-purpose flour, plus more for your work surface and hands
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into several pieces
2 tablespoons cold lard or vegetable shortening, cut into several pieces
3/4 cup cold whole or lowfat buttermilk (preferably whole)
Procedure
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a medium bowl, mix the dry ingredients thoroughly with a fork. Transfer to a food processor fitted with the chopping blade. Add the butter and lard and pulse the mixture in 2-second increments until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with a few pea-sized pieces, about 5 pulses. (If you don't have a food processor, cut the fats into the dry ingredients in a bowl by mashing with a fork, a whisk, or a pastry blender; it will take about 3 minutes.)
3. Transfer the mixture back to the bowl, pour the buttermilk over it, and mix with the fork for about 1 minute, until the dough just comes together. Turn the dough out onto a floured board, knead with floured fingers once or twice, and pat it into a rectangle about 6 x 10 inches and 1 inch thick.
4. Fold the rightmost third of the rectangle over the center third and fold the left third on top. Turn the dough a quarter turn, pat it into a 6-x-10-inch rectangle, and fold it upon itself in thirds again. Repeat one more time, then pat the dough into a 6-x-10-inch rectangle about 1 inch thick.
5. Using a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter (or an upside-down shot glass), cut the biscuits from the dough and place them about I'll inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the tops just begin to brown.
6. Serve the biscuits warm,

This one is for 7 Days Group - Autumn 2007.
I think it also qualifies for SAJ's I dress like a slob every day. So I think I might just have to go join that group right now.
The Murph shirt is from about 4 years ago....at least. Very tragic. Not the fact that I love Murph, just the fact that the shirt has seen better days.
Perhaps next V8 season I should buy a new one.
But I didn't want to kill the new Threadless shirt I had been wearing by covering it in cake batter.
Mill End Park is a tiny park that is exactly 0.292 m^2, making it the smallest park in the World, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. It was actually supposed to be a spot to hold a streetlight when it was first dug in 1948. However the light never came and so the hold became clogged with weeds. Newspaper columnist Dick Fagan of the Oregon Journal, whose office overlooked the hole, eventually planted flowers in it and decided to name it "Mill End" after the name of his column.
Dick Fagan, of course told a different story. According to himself, he was looking out of his office when he spotted a leprechaun digging around the hole. Running out, he grabbed the leprechaun, which granted him a wish. Fagan wished for a park, which was granted, but as he had not specified the size of the park, the leprechaun simply granted him the hole. Fagan would continue writing about Mill End Park for the next few decades, claiming that the park contained "the only leprechaun colony west of Ireland," headed by a head leprechaun named Patrick O'Toole. In 1976, on St. Patrick's Day, Mill End Park was officially declared a city park of Portland.
Since then, Mill End Park has been a whimsical part of Portland life. The park itself changes frequently; there have been a swimming pool for butterflies, a miniature ferris wheel, an "Occupy Portland" of army figures. In 2006 it closed for about a year over road work. The park's tree was stolen in 2013, then apparently returned after city workers planted a new tree.

The London Underground is a rapid transit system serving a large part of Greater London and neighbouring areas of Essex, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire in England. Despite the name, it is not the only underground railway to have been built in London – there was also the now defunct London Post Office Railway, Kingsway Tramway Subway and Tower Subway. There are localised railways in use today – the Docklands Light Railway and the Tramlink. There is also the London Overgroundservice. With its first section opening in 1863, it was the first underground railway system in the world.[3] In 1890 it became the first to operate electric trains.[4] Despite the name, about 55% of the network is above ground. It is usually referred to officially as 'the Underground' and colloquially as the Tube, although the latter term originally applied only to the deep-level bored lines, along which run slightly lower, narrower trains along standard-gauge track, to distinguish them from the sub-surface "cut and cover" lines that were built first. More recently this distinction has been lost and the whole system is now referred to as The Tube, even in recent years by its operator in official publicity.[5]
The earlier lines of the present London Underground network were built by various private companies. Apart from the main line railways, they became part of an integrated transport system in 1933 when the London Passenger Transport Board (LPTB) orLondon Transport was created. The underground network became a single entity in 1985, when the UK government created London Underground Limited (LUL).[6] Since 2003 LUL has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Transport for London (TfL), the statutory corporation responsible for most aspects of the transport system in Greater London, which is run by a board and a commissioner appointed by the Mayor of London.[7]
The Underground has 270 stations and 402 kilometres (250 mi) of track,[1] making it the second longest metro system in the world after the Shanghai Metro.[8] It also has one of the highest number of stations. In 2007, more than one billion passenger journeys were recorded,[2] making it the third busiest metro system in Europe after Paris and Moscow.
The tube map, with its schematic non-geographical layout and colour-coded lines, is considered a design classic, and many other transport maps worldwide have been influenced by it.

Wikipedia: The New Guinea Singing Dog (NGSD, New Guinea Highland Dog, or Singer) is a relative of the Australian Dingo that is native to New Guinea. Singers have remained isolated from other dogs for almost 6000 years,[2] making them possibly the oldest of the pariah dogs. They are unique in their ability to howl in a wolf-like manner, but unlike wolves, Singers modulate the pitch, hence the name. They have a fox-like appearance, with a double coat that ranges in color from red to brown, and have a characteristically large carnassial tooth. They stand between 14 and 18 inches (36 to 46 cm) at the withers, and weigh 17 to 30 pounds (8 to 14 kg) as adults.
Once thought to inhabit the entire island of New Guinea, today wild populations are thought to be extinct,[citation needed] with captive specimens numbering from 100 to 200.[citation needed] They are an exceptionally clever breed of dog, but are hard to keep because of wild behavioural traits. There is some debate as to whether Singers are truly domesticated animals, though with proper training, their pack-instincts may allow them to live with humans. They are a recognized breed by such organizations as the United Kennel Club, which classifies them as a pariah dog.

Cette route est l’unique voie routière qui mène au Milford Sound. Et si vous vous rendez au Milford Sound, vous ne regretterez pas un instant de parcourir cette route qui est juste splendide, avec tout au long du trajet des paysages à couper le souffle. Les arrêts que vous voudrez faire seront certainement très nombreux tant tout est merveilleux et éblouissant pour se terminer en apothéose au Milford Sound, le clou du spectacle. Vous pouvez être sur que vous ne verrez pas passer les 120 km qui séparent Te Anau de Milford Sound et le conseil que l’on peut donner est prévoyez une bonne marge, il vous faudra certainement 2 bonnes heures de routes ou plus selon les arrêts que vous faites.
La State Highway 94 est une autoroute nationale néo-zélandaise reliant la grande ville de Gore dans le Southland à l'une des destinations les plus populaires de la Nouvelle-Zélande, Milford Sound. Il passe également par les cantons importants de Lumsden et de Te Anau en passant par le tunnel Homer (dans cette région, il est également appelé «la route de Milford», le tronçon allant de Te Anau à Sound s'étendant sur 119 km). La route traverse également le Fiordland et traverse la ligne de partage principale des Alpes du Sud.
Considérée comme l’une des routes les plus pittoresques de la Nouvelle-Zélande, avec une altitude de pointe de 940 mètres, elle est la troisième plus haute route du pays après la Desert Road (SH 1) et le Lindis Pass (SH 8). Toutefois, la partie "Milford Road" est également l’une des routes publiques les plus dangereuses de Nouvelle-Zélande, avec des taux d’accidents corporels supérieurs d’environ 65% au reste du réseau néo-zélandais et un taux d’accidents mortels presque deux fois plus élevé (par kilomètre-véhicule). parcouru), [2] en faisant la troisième section la plus dangereuse du réseau routier de la Nouvelle-Zélande (à partir de 2008)
Les avalanches constituent un danger hivernal dans les hautes montagnes au-dessus de la route Milford. La neige et la glace affectent la surface de la route en hiver; les panneaux de transit informent les automobilistes des conditions et un point de contrôle de Transit New Zealand a été construit pour s'assurer que les usagers de la route portent des chaînes pour un passage en toute sécurité vers Milford Sound. Les portes en métal sont positionnées de part et d'autre de Milford Road, dans les vallées de Hollyford et de Cleddau, lorsque la route est fermée en période de forte probabilité d'avalanche. La route est fermée en moyenne 8 jours par an, principalement pendant les mois d’hiver, lorsque le SH 94 est exposé à la neige sur toute sa longueur. La neige peut tomber sur les parties les plus élevées de la route à tout moment de l’année et, en raison de la nature de l’environnement du Fiordland, la route peut être fermée à tout moment de l’année en raison de glissements de terrain, d’arbres et de ravinements. Des précautions doivent être prises toute l'année, en particulier dans les régions montagneuses situées entre Mossburn et Milford Sound. Des inondations peuvent également se produire à tout moment le long de la route, en particulier autour des rivières.
State Highway 94 is a New Zealand state highway connecting the large Southland town of Gore with one of New Zealand's most popular destinations, Milford Sound. It also passes the significant townships of Lumsden and Te Anau as well going through the Homer Tunnel (in this area it is also called the 'Milford Road', with the section from Te Anau up to the Sound being 119 kilometres or 74 miles). The road also goes through Fiordland and crosses the Main Divide of the Southern Alps.
It is regarded as one of the most scenic roads in New Zealand, and with a peak elevation of 940 metres (3,080 ft), the country's third highest highway after the Desert Road (SH 1) and the Lindis Pass (SH 8). However, the "Milford Road" part is also one of the more dangerous public roads in New Zealand, with injury crash rates around 65% higher than the rest of New Zealand's network, and a fatality crash rate of almost twice average (per vehicle kilometre travelled),[2] making it the third most dangerous section of New Zealand's State Highway network (as of 2008)
Avalanches are a winter hazard in the high mountains above the Milford Road and snow and ice affect the road surface in the winter months; transit signs inform motorists of conditions and a Transit New Zealand check point has been built to make sure road users carry chains for safe passage to Milford Sound. Metal gates are positioned across the Milford Road in the Hollyford and Cleddau Valleys when the road is closed at times of peak avalanche probability. The road is closed an average 8 days a year, mainly during the winter months, when the entire length of SH 94 is susceptible to snowfall. Snow can fall on higher parts of the road any time of the year, and due to the nature of the Fiordland environment, the road can be closed at any time of year from landslips, treefalls and washouts. Care should be taken year-round, especially on the hillier regions between Mossburn and Milford Sound. Flooding can also occur at any time along the road especially around rivers.

Antwerp (English: /ˈæntwɜrp/ ( listen); Dutch: Antwerpen, [ˈɑnt.β̞ɛr.pə(n)] ( listen), French: Anvers) is a city and municipality in Belgium and the capital of the Antwerp province of Flanders. Antwerp's total population is 512,000 (as of 1 January 2013),[2] making it the largest municipality in both Flanders and Belgium in terms of its population. Its total area is 204.51 km2 (78.96 sq mi), giving a population density of 2,308 inhabitants per km². The metropolitan area, including the outer commuter zone, covers an area of 1,449 km2 (559 sq mi) with a total of 1,190,769 inhabitants as of 1 January 2008.[3] The French name of Antwerpen is Anvers, [ɑ̃vɛʁ(s)]; it may be found written this way on signposts in French-speaking parts of Belgium, and of course in French publications.
Antwerpen is located on the right (eastern) bank of the river Scheldt, which is linked to the North Sea by the estuary Westerschelde. The city has one of the largest seaports in Europe. Antwerp has long been an important city in the Low Countries both economically and culturally, especially before the Spanish Fury (1576) in the period of the Dutch Revolt. The inhabitants of Antwerp are locally nicknamed Sinjoren, after the Spanish honorific señor or French seigneur, "lord". It refers to the leading Spanish noblemen who ruled the city during the 17th century.[4]

La neige et la glace affectent la surface de la route en hiver; les panneaux de transit informent les automobilistes des conditions et un point de contrôle de Transit New Zealand a été construit pour s'assurer que les usagers de la route portent des chaînes pour un passage en toute sécurité vers Milford Sound. Les portes en métal sont positionnées de part et d'autre de Milford Road, dans les vallées de Hollyford et de Cleddau, lorsque la route est fermée en période de forte probabilité d'avalanche. La route est fermée en moyenne 8 jours par an, principalement pendant les mois d’hiver, lorsque le SH 94 est exposé à la neige sur toute sa longueur. La neige peut tomber sur les parties les plus élevées de la route à tout moment de l’année et, en raison de la nature de l’environnement du Fiordland, la route peut être fermée à tout moment de l’année en raison de glissements de terrain, d’arbres et de ravinements. Des précautions doivent être prises toute l'année, en particulier dans les régions montagneuses situées entre Mossburn et Milford Sound. Des inondations peuvent également se produire à tout moment le long de la route, en particulier autour des rivières.
State Highway 94 is a New Zealand state highway connecting the large Southland town of Gore with one of New Zealand's most popular destinations, Milford Sound. It also passes the significant townships of Lumsden and Te Anau as well going through the Homer Tunnel (in this area it is also called the 'Milford Road', with the section from Te Anau up to the Sound being 119 kilometres or 74 miles). The road also goes through Fiordland and crosses the Main Divide of the Southern Alps.
It is regarded as one of the most scenic roads in New Zealand, and with a peak elevation of 940 metres (3,080 ft), the country's third highest highway after the Desert Road (SH 1) and the Lindis Pass (SH 8). However, the "Milford Road" part is also one of the more dangerous public roads in New Zealand, with injury crash rates around 65% higher than the rest of New Zealand's network, and a fatality crash rate of almost twice average (per vehicle kilometre travelled),[2] making it the third most dangerous section of New Zealand's State Highway network (as of 2008)
Avalanches are a winter hazard in the high mountains above the Milford Road and snow and ice affect the road surface in the winter months; transit signs inform motorists of conditions and a Transit New Zealand check point has been built to make sure road users carry chains for safe passage to Milford Sound. Metal gates are positioned across the Milford Road in the Hollyford and Cleddau Valleys when the road is closed at times of peak avalanche probability. The road is closed an average 8 days a year, mainly during the winter months, when the entire length of SH 94 is susceptible to snowfall. Snow can fall on higher parts of the road any time of the year, and due to the nature of the Fiordland environment, the road can be closed at any time of year from landslips, treefalls and washouts. Care should be taken year-round, especially on the hillier regions between Mossburn and Milford Sound. Flooding can also occur at any time along the road especially around rivers.
Cette route est l’unique voie routière qui mène au Milford Sound. Et si vous vous rendez au Milford Sound, vous ne regretterez pas un instant de parcourir cette route qui est juste splendide, avec tout au long du trajet des paysages à couper le souffle. Les arrêts que vous voudrez faire seront certainement très nombreux tant tout est merveilleux et éblouissant pour se terminer en apothéose au Milford Sound, le clou du spectacle. Vous pouvez être sur que vous ne verrez pas passer les 120 km qui séparent Te Anau de Milford Sound et le conseil que l’on peut donner est prévoyez une bonne marge, il vous faudra certainement 2 bonnes heures de routes ou plus selon les arrêts que vous faites.
La State Highway 94 est une autoroute nationale néo-zélandaise reliant la grande ville de Gore dans le Southland à l'une des destinations les plus populaires de la Nouvelle-Zélande, Milford Sound. Il passe également par les cantons importants de Lumsden et de Te Anau en passant par le tunnel Homer (dans cette région, il est également appelé «la route de Milford», le tronçon allant de Te Anau à Sound s'étendant sur 119 km). La route traverse également le Fiordland et traverse la ligne de partage principale des Alpes du Sud.
Considérée comme l’une des routes les plus pittoresques de la Nouvelle-Zélande, avec une altitude de pointe de 940 mètres, elle est la troisième plus haute route du pays après la Desert Road (SH 1) et le Lindis Pass (SH 8).
