" Has a callow youth of 12 or so I asked a retired Keeper why Lapwings flew in such a carefree way across the sky without seem to have no end reason for it....
His reply... " Because they can Lad :-) "

Knaresborough Viaduct is a viaduct in the North Yorkshire town of Knaresborough, England. The viaduct carries the Harrogate line over the River Nidd in the town. The viaduct was supposed to have opened in 1848, but the first construction collapsed into the river very near to completion, which necessitated a new viaduct and delayed the opening of the line through Knaresborough by three years. The viaduct can be seen striking across the Nidd Gorge from the ruins of Knaresborough Castle and is a well-known viewpoint in the town. One writer has stated that it is one of the region's better known landmarks.

There is a cold front on the way. Not much of a snow or rain storm. The forecast is for some high winds for a day or two. A balmy 28 degrees F this morning. The sun was behind me and illuminating the clouds and the sky to the West.
An einem wunderbaren Sommerabend wird die Stille in den Tehachapi Mountains vom Klang von 17.600 Pferdestärken unterbrochen als sich vier BNSF-Lokomotiven mit einem gemischten Güterzug nach Barstow bergwärts quälen. Führend ist eine der langsam seltener werdenden Dash9-44CW in "Heritage 2"-Lackierung, gefolgt von drei moderneren Loks von General Electric.
