Today a walking trip with my walking club along the Noordzee canal (the canal is from Amsterdam tot the Nortsea at IJmuiden.
Locomotive #201 is a model RSD-4 constructed by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) in 1951. This road locomotive has 1,600 horsepower, is geared for a top speed of 60 miles per hour, and has a total weight of 286,000 pounds. It is fully operational and often pulls excursion trains on the Museum's Snoqualmie Valley Railroad.
The 201 is a diesel-electric locomotive: a diesel engine turns an electric generator and electric motors turn each axle. It has an air compressor to supply air for the air brake system and seating for two crew members.
The Alco RSD-4 was a short-lived production model and the 201 is the last surviving unit. The prime mover is a 12 cylinder ALCO 244 four stroke diesel. Notable in this design is the dry engine block. Coolant is plumbed to each cylinder while the engine block remains dry.
Batemans (National Trust)
Home of Rudyard Kipling.
The July Monthly Project (366/2024 - The Future is Now), I visit Batemans several times a year, so my monthly project this year is to take a photo from the same vantage point every month to show the garden changing over the year.
The July image, taken on a nice sunny Friday morning, the car park was very full, but the garden was surprisingly quiet, although there were a few children following the Jungle Book Trail, there is a bit more green on the lime trees this month and a nice blue sky.
