44 1486-8 mit dem Sonderzug Magdeburg - Sangerhausen, bei der Ausfahrt aus Staßfurt

CN C40-8 2025 leads ore loads South through Mountain Iron, MN. The iron range is the last place on any class one railroad where you can catch a trio of standard cab GEs on a train.
Am 5.8.1988 passiert die noch Lübecker 218 255-8 mit einem Eilzug die Blockstelle Birkenkamp von Wolfsburg kommend in Richtung Lehrte. Seltsamerweise ist diese Lok noch ohne Abgashutzen unterwegs.
Now the Balmoral, the institution was originally the North British Hotel - part of the railway network terminating in Edinburgh. Walking on Princes Street recently towards Waverley I had a brief frisson of excitement and alarm, thinking I might miss the train if I didn't get a move on. It was only when I got into the station and saw the digital clocks that I remembered the clock on the North British is traditionally run five minutes fast for this very purpose.
47195 ‘ Muricidae’ leaves the down loop at Castleton East Junction signal box with 6e25, the 0848 Stanlow to Leeds service in July 1990.
In the early 1990s, sectorisation was in full swing and freight trains were almost always worked by locomotives (and crew) dedicated to particular customers.
Here one of the dedicated fleet of 13 Crewe-based class 47s dedicated to oil flows from Stanlow works one of the fleet’s ‘booked’ workings, the Stanlow to Leeds. All were painted in trainload petroleum livery and all but one of the class 47s were named after molluscs in keeping with the Shell branding of the customer.
Survival of semaphore signalling into the 1990s at Castleton East followed a similar pattern to elsewhere in the country: it was situated on a secondary route into a major rail centre (in this case Manchester) where lower traffic levels and the condition of the signalling infrastructure didn’t justify resignalling.
Similar examples included the Hednesford route north from Walsall, the Springburn loop in Glasgow and the Marylebone route from London.
Semaphores on the mainline at Castleton were removed in 2013. In 2021 the signal box at Castleton East is still operational, with some semaphore signals on the line towards Heywood. Bizarrely, the next signal block north is now controlled from a new signal box constructed less than one hundred metres east of Castleton East.

El parque nacional de Timanfaya se encuentra en los municipios de Yaiza y Tinajo de la isla de Lanzarote, Islas Canarias.
Fue declarado Parque Nacional el 9 de agosto de 1974. Ocupa una extensión de 51,07km² del suroeste de la isla. Se trata de un parque de origen volcánico. Las últimas erupciones se produjeron en el siglo XVIII, entre los años 1730 y 1736. Cuenta con más de 25 volcanes, siendo algunos emblemáticos, tales como las Montañas del Fuego, Montaña Rajada o la Caldera del Corazoncillo. Aún presenta actividad volcánica, existiendo puntos de calor en la superficie que alcanzan los 100-120C y 600C a 13 metros de profundidad.
Este hábitat volcánico se encuentra en las primeras etapas de la sucesión ecológica (en total se encuentran unas 180 especies vegetales), por lo que es un lugar excelente para el estudio de los procesos de colonización y sucesión.
En 1993, Unesco le otorgó la calificación de Reserva de la Biosfera a toda la isla. También es Zona de Especial Protección para las Aves (1994).
