One of my favourite locations in London the other being the Templars.... just full of History and stories my Gran told me
LPR50 pulls up over the Capitol Dr. bridge toward 17 track in Butler Yard with UP 1158, formerly SSW 9644, leading the way with 1 tank and 20 open hoppers in tow.
Our nephew was married this past weekend on a unique venue called Butler Farm in rural Tennessee. Here is one of several photos I took of the venue.
In February 1984, a Chicago & North Western freight enters Butler Yard after a trip across the Adams Line in Wisconsin. Powering the train is a pair of EMD SD40-2s, with C&NW No. 6815 leading Conrail No. 6398.

Shooting a lighthouse in the middle of a storm..0/10, would not recommend!
Built in January 1969 for the Chicago Burlington and Quincy as their 521, this SD45 went on to join the Burlington Northern fleet in 1970. It spent over a decade serving the BN as their 6542 until they shed the flared EMD, and the Chicago and Northwestern picked it up in September 1984, gave it a coat of Zito Yellow and numbered it to their 6581. The classic locomotive only spent five years on the C&NW before being retired and sold to VMV Enterprises.

Don't adjust the angle of your screen - The 6-pack of SD9043s roll through the South Yard lead down through some rough and soft track rails before it got a nice "update" a few years. Thanks to millions of dollars and following multiple disrails that they finally got sick of it.

One of the remaining few Butler yard jobs crawls west onto the 124th Street Spur for their only remaining customer there - Wallboard who receives centerbeam loads of drywall in the industrial park area.
It's not only pretty rare to catch this in decent daylight, but they almost always shove a load on the head end and pull an empty out on the reverse move, so usually the shot is completely crap of the power move. In the past handful of times I've seen this job move the past couple years, these are the only salvageable shots.

The Misc run is slowing on the approach to Standard Junc where they will get a signal to proceed back south to AK steel and pick up 2 gons.
Friendly Beaches on Tasmania's east coast.
Fortunately the beaches are a part of the stellar Freycinet National Park. Courland Bay on the other side of distant Butlers Point is locked up by rich knobs that get well sh!tty when you walk on THEIR sand (which is a legal right for all Tasmanians). knobs.

Butler Wash Ruins
Comb Ridge
Utah
September 2022
Butler Wash Ruin is a cliff dwelling that was built and occupied by the Ancestral Puebloans, sometimes known as Anasazi, in about 1200 AD. Parts of the site has been stabilized and reconstructed, but most of it remains as it was found in the 1800s. There are habitation, storage and ceremonial structures, including four kivas. This ruin is located in a side canyon of Butler Wash, on the east side of Comb Ridge. (BLM)

There are notes on the photo.
“These cliff dwellings were built and occupied by the Anasazi Indians approximately 700 years ago. This ruin reflects the full range of living activities: habitation, ceremonial, farming, hunting, storage, and tool making. It contains four kivas, underground chambers where ceremonial activities took place. Three of the kivas are of the round Mesa Verde type most common in this area. The fourth kiva is a square type more commonly found in ruins to the south in Arizona. This indicates that the Anasazi here at Butler Wash were dominated by the Mesa Verde culture to the east and influenced less by the Kayenta culture to the south. Likewise, the ceramics found during stabilization indicate a pure Mesa Verde occupation during the 1200’s AD.
The kivas at this site are located toward the front of the largest cave, while habitation and storage rooms are visible behind them and in various caves and niches around the canyon.
The people who lived here farmed and hunted. Corn, beans, and squash were grown in the deep alluvial soils of the broad canyon to the south. A cycle of deep arroyo cutting may have made agriculture impossible by lowering the ground water level and making irrigation unfeasible. The current deep wash is a result of an erosion cycle which started in the 1890’s.
Whatever the reason – drought, overuse of natural resources, or waring neighbors – this site was abandoned before 1300 AD.” (US Bureau of Land Management)
