Approximately 1,200 metres (0.75 mi) from the dam is the reservoir's straining tower. Standing only 30 metres (98 ft) from the shore, its purpose is to filter or strain out material in the water with a fine metal mesh, before the water flows along the aqueduct to Liverpool.
Its architecture represents Gothic revival, built at the same time as the dam. The tower as a whole is 47 metres (154 ft) tall, 32 metres (104 ft) of which is above water, and is topped with a pointed copper-clad roof, coloured light green.

Fushimi Inari Taisha (伏見稲荷大社) is the head shrine of Inari, located in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, Japan. The shrine sits at the base of a mountain also named Inari which is 233 metres above sea level, and includes trails up the mountain to many smaller shrines which span 4 kilometers and takes approximately 2 hours to walk up.
Since early Japan, Inari was seen as the patron of business, and merchants and manufacturers have traditionally worshipped Inari. Each of the torii at Fushimi Inari Taisha is donated by a Japanese business. First and foremost, though, Inari is the god of rice. (Wikipedia)

The Sand Island Lighthouse (also known as the Sand Island Light) is located approximately three miles south from Mobile Point. Originally located on a low lying island of 400 acres, the light stands surrounded by water and massive stones placed to halt the erosion of the island. The tower, which is influenced by the Italianate style, is a 132 foot conical masonry structure which tapers from a width of 40 feet at the base to 17 or 18 feet at the top. It rests on a foundation consisting of double course of sill timbers resting on one hundred seventy-one piles overlaid with 12 feet of concrete. Constructed in 1875, Sand Island Lighthouse is the older of the two remaining lighthouses in the state and is the third to have been erected on this location. A light at Sand Island has marked the entrance to Mobile Bay & the Mobile Ship Channel since 1838. This was the second navigational aid erected for the entrance to the port of Mobile, a light having been established at Mobile Point in 1822. The Frensel lens which has been removed was constructed by Barier and Fenestri in Paris in 1871. Since the construction of the tower several different systems were used for lighting. Originally lard oil lamps were used but were replaced in 1833 by mineral oil lamps. In 1912 an incandescent oilvapor lamp of 17,000 candlepower visible 18 miles at sea was installed and later replaced in 1947 by four nine inch 1000 watt bulbs when the light was automated in 1947. In 1966, the 60,000 candle power beam was dimmed to 8,000 when the new Mobile Point Light took over. The light was finally extinguished and the structure abandoned in 1971. The lens was removed at this time and moved to the nearby Fort Morgan Museum. In 1973, the keepers house was burned. The island were the Sand Island Lighthouse was built, originally 400 acres, had been eroding since the construction and by 1873 was reduced to less than 100 acres. The erosion continued at a rapid pace until between 1873 & 1902 the keepers dwelling was twice removed to more stable ground and several thousand tons of rock were placed around the island & tower. More recently, restoration efforts resulted primarily in stabilization of the island through 2008 and in December 2011 construction of a new island was completed with 1,400,000 yards of sand being dredged from the sea floor and deposited around the lighthouse creating a 2,600 feet by 500 feet, or approximately 15 acres island. Less than a year later the $6,000,000 restoration of the island was washed away by Hurricane Isaac.

Approximately 12 percent of the world’s population relies upon fisheries and aquaculture for their livelihood, and over half of the world’s people get a significant source of their animal protein from fish and seafood. In Southeast Asia, this proportion is significantly higher. The region’s seas not only serve as a major source of food and livelihood for hundreds of millions of people, they generate several billion dollars in GDP for the region.
At about approximately 0200 on May 21, 1998 I was taking a lunch break with engineer Sean Ford on the nightly NECR Palmer, MA switcher number 606. We were hanging out on the back porch awaiting train 324 coming in from Brattleboro, VT, when we heard a loud crash and ran out to the parking lot to see Conrail train TV-13 on the ground at speed. Then came the rear end crashing into the head-end sending the consist of double stacks on the front off to the east side of the tracks. The cinderblock wall of Rte 32 overpass in Palmer literally caved in, and onto the right of way directly in front of TV-13. Engines 6176-6516-5650 all derailed along with the head 4 five wells of the train. The fuel tanks of all the engines ruptured and it was a plain mess, thankfully the crew was safe and the 911 call placed by the crew on the touchtone pad of the engine radio brought the Boston Line to a halt and the necessary help. I can't even image how the crew must have felt seeing this all transpire in front of their eyes. Needless to say, our day was over, and as the sun came up the carnage was incredible. The photo shows the scene from the now closed bridge at about 0900 that morning before the arrival of RJ Corman. Later that day, the crews constructed a shoo-fly around the area and traiffic was moving later that evening after 11pm. It was quite a day that didn't include much sleep for me. Thankfully in the end nobody was hurt.

I woke up on November 6th, 2020 to a ton of Messenger notifications telling me that NS 8105 was on the point of CP 244 with an NS dash 9 trailing - and that it had been stuck in Lobo siding just outside of London for a few hours. I decided to hustle over to the Denfield Road bridge, and was greeted by a couple other railfans. Indeed, there it was on the siding with the switch set against it...all due to train 141, which was working Quebec Street yard downtown. We waited quite a while, and caught a couple of CN trains in the meantime on the Strathroy Sub which is situated right next to the CP Windsor Sub at Denfield. More railfans showed up over the course of the hour and a half. 8105 was the first NS heritage unit to come our way in a little while. Eventually, 141 did leave the yard and it was only approximately two minutes after he cleared when 244 became lined out of the siding.
