It was another Burlington Northernesque type of morning in Longmont, Colorado, as the "Buck Local" with a pair of Cascade Green painted Geeps shove back to the east yard next to a pair of Grinstein painted SD70MACs, on February 3, 2019.

A trio of Burlington Northern painted EMDs led by BNSF SD60M No. 1444 leads the "Longmont Switch" south down the middle of Atwood Street in Longmont, Colorado on April 12, 2017. The local picked up cars at Highland just north of town. Later this morning, they will head back north towards Loveland and Fort Collins to do some work before coming back later today.
The golden hour was upon us as another Eastbound rolled passing through the control point at East Pisgah. It would mean another late night having dinner but it was worth it.
This bridge has a harsh and weathered quality to it that I quite like.
It's fast becoming one of my favourite bridges in Portland.

Burlington VT
Burlington is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Vermont and the seat of Chittenden County. It is located 45 miles (72 km) south of the Canada–United States border and 94 miles (151 km) south of Canada's second most populous city, Montreal. The city's population was 42,452 according to a 2015 U.S. census estimate.[7] It is the least populous municipality in the United States to be the most populous incorporated area in a state.
A regional college town, Burlington is home to the University of Vermont (UVM) and Champlain College, a small private college. Vermont's largest hospital, the UVM Medical Center, is located within the city limits. The City of Burlington also owns the state of Vermont's largest airport, the Burlington International Airport, in neighboring South Burlington. In 2015, Burlington became the first city in the U.S. to run completely on renewable energy.[8]

Burlington Zephyr postcard- this is the original 9900, later named the "Pioneer Zephyr"; it was the only one with the curved brow in the front window line, on the later Zephyrs the top window line was flat. Noting the viewing platform at left and the ramps laid across the tracks, it looks like it's somewhere on one of its early (1934) exposition tours prior to entering regular service.
The Pioneer Zephyr is on display today at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry.
As fog blanketed the whole city on a Sunday in March 2024, I ran out with my camera to take advantage of the opportunities!
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Burlington Bay James N. Allan Skyway, originally called the Burlington Bay Skyway and simply known as the Burlington Skyway, is a pair of high-level freeway bridges (built in 1958 and 1985) spanning the Burlington Bay Canal. The Skyway, as it is locally known, is located in Hamilton and Burlington, Ontario, Canada, and is part of the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) highway linking Fort Erie with Toronto.
The first bridge (steel structure) was completed in 1958 and officially opened October 30, 1958, crossing the narrow bar separating Hamilton Harbour from Lake Ontario. This allows for Great Lakes ship traffic to flow underneath while four lanes of Golden Horseshoe road traffic may flow on top of it, neither disturbing the other. The bridge was designed by John Turner Bell. Construction of the entire Skyway required 20,000 short tons (18,000 t) of steel and 90,000 cubic yards (69,000 m3) of concrete.
The bridge had tolls when constructed, but these were removed December 28, 1973 after they were found to heavily impede traffic flow (The toll plaza was located near Tower's Drive). Truck drivers in particular had refused to take the tolled bridge since not only were they charged the full toll but also it took them extra fuel to ascend the Skyway. With the lifting of tolls on the bridge, trucks were then banned from using Beach Boulevard.
When traffic volume became more than the bridge could accommodate in the early 1980s, the bridge was twinned. The 1985 bridge was a conventional precast concrete box girder. When the new skyway (concrete structure) was opened on October 11, 1985, traffic was temporarily rerouted to it so that the old bridge could be extensively rehabilitated and this work was completed August 22, 1988. Afterwards, there were eight lanes of traffic crossing the harbour.
The twinning project also saw a major upgrade of the freeway approaches to the bridge. The entire project resulted in the QEW being widened to eight lanes from Burlington Street to Highway 403, with modern Parclo interchanges at Burlington Street, Northshore Boulevard (former Highway 2), and Fairview Street/Plains Road. This section has a variable lighting system to overcome the frequent fog found in the area. It is also the site of Ontario's first freeway traffic management system which incorporates traffic cameras and changeable message signs.
The 1958 steel bridge is a suspended deck through-arch truss bridge. The approach to the main span has elements of a through-truss bridge, but the arch shape takes the truss higher than the roadway deck, so hangers are used to suspend the deck from the arch truss. The 1958 bridge is 2,560 m (8,400 ft) long overall. The main span of 151 m (495 ft) is flanked by two back spans each 83.7 m (275 ft) long; there are 72 total approach spans, and the bridge has 36.7 m (120 ft) of vertical clearance below the bottom of the deck.
A second bridge, completed in 1985, is 335 m (1,099 ft) shorter. The roadway deck for each bridge is 30 m (97 ft) wide.
