CSX 7791 leads M336 south at Rugby siding with two other GEs behind. As someone who started railfanning off these CSX 7000 units, it's nice to see them still earning their keep.
You can see the road that leads up to Spruce Knob and the first light of morning hitting the highest mountain in West Virginia

The russian word "Soyuz" means "Union". The first Soyuz manned mission took place in 1967 and different variants of the ship have been used for more than 50 years since. All Soyuz spacecraft are based on the same basic design, by Sergei Korolev, and consists of 3 parts: the orbital module (in the front of the spacecraft), the descent or reentry module (middle section) and the service module (the rear section, has the solar pannels and engines).
Korolev wanted a multipurpose ship, capable of transporting people and cargo to low Earth orbit and even devised a version capable of carrying astronauts to the moon (which unfortunately was never used). The Soyuz has served as multipurpose ship in countless missions, allowing, for example, the continued operation of the Mir space station (Mir means "Peace") for many years.
The Soyuz (variant Soyuz-MS) is still in active service and is now the spacecraft used for transport people and supplies to and from the International Space Station.
The Soyuz LEGO Model
This is a LEGO model of a Soyuz 7K-TM ship, a variant of Soyuz used in 1975. The model has about 500 pieces and includes a stand for its exhibition. The three modules can be separated, so you can simulate the separation of the descent module, which is the only part of the spaceship that returns to Earth.
The model reproduces in detail most of the external components of the ship such as engines, radiator, solar pannels, docking system, exterior hatch, periscope and parachute cover. Also the radars, windows and antennas are easily recognizable..
The descent module can be opened and it fit two or three minifigs of cosmonauts (cosmonaut is the russian word for astronaut).

The background image of the main picture and the last picture is from NASA: A bank of clouds over the western Pacific Ocean was photographed by Astronaut Frank Borman and James A. Lovell during the Gemini 7 mission (1965). In the background the moon can be seen.

This month, November 2014, celebrates my 10th year here in the flickr-verse; while things aren't quite what they used to be I still enjoy my time here, and are very active in many groups.
A big thank you to all the people I have met and continue to meet and share photography with.
You rock!
Thanks to PW

This image was made with my iPhone sitting in the car in the usual peak hour traffic that can be such a drudge. The light and clouds were amazing. Like so many images made this way I saw an opportunity and took it.
Post production included colour temperature, levels, sharpening using Lightroom.

Having had his interest in aviation sparked by being at the receiving end of B-24s bombing occupied France when he was 7-yr old, René Francillon turned aviation into both his vocation and avocation. Most of his professional career was in the United States, working for major aircraft manufacturers and airport planning/design companies. All along, he kept developing a second career as an aviation historian, an activity that led him to author more than 50 books and 400 articles published in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and elsewhere. Far from “hanging on his spurs,” he plans to remain active as an author well into his eighties.-------PLEASE TAG this image with any information you know about it, so that we can permanently store this data with the original image file in our Digital Asset Management System.--------------SOURCE INSTITUTION: San Diego Air and Space Museum Archive
