Quiero compartir algunas preguntas, moscas que me zumban en la cabeza.
¿Es justa la justicia? ¿Está parada sobre sus pies la justicia del mundo al revés?
El zapatista de Irak, el que arrojó los zapatazos contra Bush, fue condenado a tres años de cárcel. ¿No merecÃa, más bien, una condecoración?
¿Quién es el terrorista? ¿El zapatista o el zapateado? ¿No es culpable de terrorismo el serial killer que mintiendo inventó la guerra de Irak, asesinó a un gentÃo y legalizó la tortura y mandó aplicarla?
¿Son culpables los pobladores de Atenco, en México, o los indÃgenas mapuches de Chile, o los kekchÃes de Guatemala, o los campesinos sin tierra de Brasil, acusados todos de terrorismo por defender su derecho a la tierra? Si sagrada es la tierra, aunque la ley no lo diga, ¿no son sagrados, también, quienes la defienden?
Según la revista Foreign Policy, Somalia es el lugar más peligroso de todos. Pero, ¿quiénes son los piratas? ¿Los muertos de hambre que asaltan barcos o los especuladores de Wall Street, que llevan años asaltando el mundo y ahora reciben multimillonarias recompensas por sus afanes?
¿Por qué el mundo premia a quienes lo desvalijan?
¿Por qué la justicia es ciega de un solo ojo? Wal-Mart, la empresa más poderosa de todas, prohÃbe los sindicatos. MacDonald’s, también. ¿Por qué estas empresas violan, con delincuente impunidad, la ley internacional? ¿Será porque en el mundo de nuestro tiempo el trabajo vale menos que la basura, y menos todavÃa valen los derechos de los trabajadores?
¿Quiénes son los justos, y quiénes los injustos? Si la justicia internacional de veras existe, ¿por qué nunca juzga a los poderosos? No van presos los autores de las más feroces carnicerÃas. ¿Será porque son ellos quienes tienen las llaves de las cárceles?
¿Por qué son intocables las cinco potencias que tienen derecho de veto en Naciones Unidas? ¿Ese derecho tiene origen divino? ¿Velan por la paz los que hacen el negocio de la guerra? ¿Es justo que la paz mundial esté a cargo de las cinco potencias que son las principales productoras de armas? Sin despreciar a los narcotraficantes, ¿no es éste también un caso de "crimen organizado"?
Pero no demandan castigo contra los amos del mundo los clamores de quienes exigen, en todas partes, la pena de muerte. Faltaba más. Los clamores claman contra los asesinos que usan navajas, no contra los que usan misiles.
Y uno se pregunta: ya que esos justicieros están tan locos de ganas de matar, ¿por qué no exigen la pena de muerte contra la injusticia social? ¿Es justo un mundo que cada minuto destina 3 millones de dólares a los gastos militares, mientras cada minuto mueren 15 niños por hambre o enfermedad curable? ¿Contra quién se arma, hasta los dientes, la llamada comunidad internacional? ¿Contra la pobreza o contra los pobres?
¿Por qué los fervorosos de la pena capital no exigen la pena de muerte contra los valores de la sociedad de consumo, que cotidianamente atentan contra la seguridad pública? ¿O acaso no invita al crimen el bombardeo de la publicidad que aturde a millones y millones de jóvenes desempleados, o mal pagados, repitiéndoles noche y dÃa que ser es tener, tener un automóvil, tener zapatos de marca, tener, tener, y quien no tiene, no es?
¿Y por qué no se implanta la pena de muerte contra la muerte? El mundo está organizado al servicio de la muerte. ¿O no fabrica muerte la industria militar, que devora la mayor parte de nuestros recursos y buena parte de nuestras energÃas? Los amos del mundo sólo condenan la violencia cuando la ejercen otros. Y este monopolio de la violencia se traduce en un hecho inexplicable para los extraterrestres, y también insoportable para los terrestres que todavÃa queremos, contra toda evidencia, sobrevivir: los humanos somos los únicos animales especializados en el exterminio mutuo, y hemos desarrollado una tecnologÃa de la destrucción que está aniquilando, de paso, al planeta y a todos sus habitantes.
Esa tecnologÃa se alimenta del miedo. Es el miedo quien fabrica los enemigos que justifican el derroche militar y policial. Y en tren de implantar la pena de muerte, ¿qué tal si condenamos a muerte al miedo? ¿No serÃa sano acabar con esta dictadura universal de los asustadores profesionales? Los sembradores de pánicos nos condenan a la soledad, nos prohÃben la solidaridad: sálvese quien pueda, aplastaos los unos a los otros, el prójimo es siempre un peligro que acecha, ojo, mucho cuidado, éste te robará, aquél te violará, ese cochecito de bebé esconde una bomba musulmana y si esa mujer te mira, esa vecina de aspecto inocente, es seguro que te contagia la peste porcina.
En el mundo al revés, dan miedo hasta los más elementales actos de justicia y sentido común. Cuando el presidente Evo Morales inició la refundación de Bolivia, para que este paÃs de mayorÃa indÃgena dejara de tener vergüenza de mirarse al espejo, provocó pánico. Este desafÃo era catastrófico desde el punto de vista del orden racista tradicional, que decÃa ser el único orden posible: Evo traÃa el caos y la violencia, y por su culpa la unidad nacional iba a estallar, rota en pedazos. Y cuando el presidente ecuatoriano Correa anunció que se negaba a pagar las deudas no legÃtimas, la noticia produjo terror en el mundo financiero y el Ecuador fue amenazado con terribles castigos, por estar dando tan mal ejemplo. Si las dictaduras militares y los polÃticos ladrones han sido siempre mimados por la banca internacional, ¿no nos hemos acostumbrado ya a aceptar como fatalidad del destino que el pueblo pague el garrote que lo golpea y la codicia que lo saquea?
Pero, ¿será que han sido divorciados para siempre jamás el sentido común y la justicia?
¿No nacieron para caminar juntos, bien pegaditos, el sentido común y la justicia?
¿No es de sentido común, y también de justicia, ese lema de las feministas que dicen que si nosotros, los machos, quedáramos embarazados, el aborto serÃa libre? ¿Por qué no se legaliza el derecho al aborto? ¿Será porque entonces dejarÃa de ser el privilegio de las mujeres que pueden pagarlo y de los médicos que pueden cobrarlo?
Lo mismo ocurre con otro escandaloso caso de negación de la justicia y el sentido común: ¿por qué no se legaliza la droga? ¿Acaso no es, como el aborto, un tema de salud pública? Y el paÃs que más drogadictos contiene, ¿qué autoridad moral tiene para condenar a quienes abastecen su demanda? ¿Y por qué los grandes medios de comunicación, tan consagrados a la guerra contra el flagelo de la droga, jamás dicen que proviene de Afganistán casi toda la heroÃna que se consume en el mundo? ¿Quién manda en Afganistán? ¿No es ése un paÃs militarmente ocupado por el mesiánico paÃs que se atribuye la misión de salvarnos a todos?
¿Por qué no se legalizan las drogas de una buena vez? ¿No será porque brindan el mejor pretexto para las invasiones militares, además de brindar las más jugosas ganancias a los grandes bancos que en las noches trabajan como lavanderÃas?
Ahora el mundo está triste porque se venden menos autos. Una de las consecuencias de la crisis mundial es la caÃda de la próspera industria del automóvil. Si tuviéramos algún resto de sentido común, y alguito de sentido de la justicia, ¿no tendrÃamos que celebrar esa buena noticia? ¿O acaso la disminución de los automóviles no es una buena noticia, desde el punto de vista de la naturaleza, que estará un poquito menos envenenada, y de los peatones, que morirán un poquito menos?
Según Lewis Carroll, la reina explicó a Alicia cómo funciona la justicia en el paÃs de las maravillas:
–Ahà lo tienes –dijo la reina–. Está encerrado en la cárcel, cumpliendo su condena; pero el juicio no empezará hasta el próximo miércoles. Y por supuesto, el crimen será cometido al final.
En El Salvador, el arzobispo Óscar Arnulfo Romero comprobó que la justicia, como la serpiente, sólo muerde a los descalzos. Él murió a balazos, por denunciar que en su paÃs los descalzos nacÃan de antemano condenados, por delito de nacimiento.
El resultado de las recientes elecciones en El Salvador, ¿no es de alguna manera un homenaje? ¿Un homenaje al arzobispo Romero y a los miles que como él murieron luchando por una justicia justa en el reino de la injusticia?
A veces terminan mal las historias de la Historia; pero ella, la Historia, no termina. Cuando dice adiós, dice hasta luego.
Disculpen las molestias

1920 Carroll car built by the Carroll Automobile Company in Lorain, Ohio. The car was built by my great grandfather and now sits at the Swigart Museum in Huntingdon, PA. There were about 200 cars produced between 1920 and 1923. I am always on the lookout for another one stashed in a garage.
Be sure to look at my photostream for the complete set.
28th September 2019 - Never meet your hero's they say. Well I say nonsense. Some may say that Andy and his partners were Liverpool's equivelant of Tony Wilson in Manchester in the late 80's and early 90's.. I reckon that's a very healthy discussion.. Maybe next time?
An outbound Camden Line MARC train for Washington was pushing through Carroll Interlocking on a beautiful summer morning in 2008.
MARC GP40WH-2 66 had been through here many times as it was built for the Baltimore and Ohio as GP40 4062 in 1971. It was rebuilt by MK with parts of a former Burlington Northern F45 to create the unholy abomination of steel that you see before you.
After MARC was finished with the 66, it headed nawth to Bahston, where it worked for the MBTA for a wicked bit and current whereabouts are unknown per a quick google search.
Pulsa L para verla en la caja de luz. Un experimento de desenfoque selectivo. Cuando vi el primer resultado me acorde de los cuentos de Lewis Carrol y me pregunte: ¿Como atraveso Alicia el espejo?. Me imagino como la veria un ser del otro lado. Saludos.
Press L to see it in the light box. An experiment of selective blurring. When I saw the first result I remembered the tales of Lewis Carroll and wondered: How Alicia broke through the mirror?. I imagine as a being would see her the other side. Greetings
Thanks for the visit, comments, awards, invitations and favorites.

Nancy Carroll , ( Ann Veronica Lahiff )1904- 1965

NANCY CARROLL
One of the Silver Screen's Most Romantic Stars!
Born Ann Veronica Lahiff in New York on November 19, 1904, Nancy Carroll was to be one of the finest actresses ever to grace the silver screen. She was smitten, early, by the acting bug when she appeared as Fay Larkin in 1918's RIDERS OF THE PURPLE SAGE a film that went absolutely no where. (Sources that I have, and there are two, state this. However, email I have received say that it was impossible for her to have started at such an early age. Going with the two sources I will leave it as it is until I got positive proof otherwise. I'm not saying they are wrong, but the printe sources are the best I have for the time being. Remember, early films were made on the East Coast.) Prior to that she had limited experience on the stages surrounding NYC.(Some have said that Nancy couldn't have appeared in this film, but all research inicates she did. One source even stated the film was made on the East Coast).
Nancy was all of 14 at the time but she already knew what she wanted to do. For the time being she would go back to being a young girl and occasional stints on the stage. To Nancy, stage work was all fine and good but she had tasted life in front of the camera and she wanted to go back, but there was no doubt that her tender young age was going to work against her for the time being.
Later she performed on Broadway. Impatience can be hard to control, but by 1927 she was ready when she made her "second" film debut in LADIES MUST DRESS after being spotted in a play on the west coast. She impressed the powers that be and was signed to a contract with Paramount.
In 1928, Nancy appeared in seven movies such as THE WATER HOLE, MR. ROMEO and CHICKEN A LA KING, but it was as Barbara Quayle in EASY COME, EASY GO that would establish her reputation. The movie was intended to be a vehicle that would intensify Richard Dix's career---and it did, but it also made Nancy Carroll a film force to be reckoned with. The production was a hit.
Her next film was ABIE'S IRISH ROSE. The film was adapted from the stage version which ran on Broadway for six years. Paramount shelled out $500,000 for the rights to the film (the highest at that time) and cast Nancy in the role of Rosemary Murphy. She and her co-star, Buddy Rogers, made a lovely couple on stage but other movies with a similar theme caused the film not to be accepted well at the box-office.
In 1929, she had another big hit with her part in THE SHOPWORN ANGEL. It was Nancy's first "talkie" ( and a partial one at that) and it showed the Paramount executives that she was one that would make a successful transition from the "silents" to an exciting new medium. In that same year she made CLOSE HARMONY in Paramont's first all-talkie. Once again a hit was born.
Later, in their third pairing together, she and Buddy Rogers filmed ILLUSION. They were able to profit from their intense popularity but there was a sameness to their material.
In 1930, Nancy was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance as Hallie Hobart in the highly acclaimed THE DEVIL'S HOLIDAY. She had given a luminous performance. She didn't win but it solidified her as a genuine star. It was said she was a close second to Norma Shearer in THE DIVORCEE.
By the time Nancy filmed HONEY, the tempo of her rise caused her to receive more fan mail than any other star. Paramount had a genuine super star on their hands. She continued to be a big success throughout the 1930's when she made her last big picture as Grace Bristow in THAT CERTAIN AGE.
After the conclusion of filming she retired only to come back one more time for a chance at the infant medium of television in the series THE ALDRICH FAMILY during the 1950-1951 season. She then retired forever from film but went back to work on the stage.
Nancy was found dead of a heart attack on August 6, 1965, after she failed to show up at a stage performance. She was 60.

Terminal Railroad's T104 drops down the south approach to the MacArthur bridge at St. Louis with a stretch of empty tanks and hopper cars for Miller yard.
To the left of the train is UP's Lesperance yard.
Behind the power is a concrete pad, the only remains of Carroll Street tower. The three-story concrete tower was built in 1930 by the City of St. Louis to expedite traffic over the newly constructed "Municipal" bridge, and featured 55 active levers and 9 spares.
Although owned by the city, it was operated by Missouri Pacific employees. When it was taken out of service in 1983, the city reportedly saved $202,000 in operating expenses, paid to the MoPac. The bridge was later sold to the Terminal Railroad.

Just a simple clean boring wedge shot I kind of like from this splendid day. At least the old school MEC flange lift sign at right ads a bit of interest.
Having traveled 29 miles from North Conway and run around beside the historic former Maine Central depot at Fabyans, Conway Scenic Railroad's 470 Railroad Club is starting their eastbound return trip. They are seen here approaching the gateway at MP 84.5 of the old Maine Central Railroad's Mountain Sub, having just departed from the Crawford's depot at the 1900 ft high point of the railroad. Ahead looms the long 1400 ft 2.2% descent down the mountain through Crawford Notch.
Both units are owned by the 470 Railroad Club and are original Boston and Maine locomotives wearing their as delivered EMD designed scheme. 4266 was built in Mar. 1949 and was acquired for preservation in 1981 off the Billerica deadline. Restored a couple years later, she has called North Conway home ever since and has been operational off and on for the past four decades.
4268 was built in Oct. 1949 and ran for the very first time in almost a half century just earlier this year. I'm not sure when her last run was, but I can find no photos of her in service after about July 1974. She languished for a decade behind the Billerica shops after being stripped of all major components including prime mover, main generator and traction motors. In 1986 she finally left Billerica by truck after being acquired by George Feuderer who displayed her in a field in East Swanzey, NH until acquired by the 470 Club and trucked to North Conway in October of 1991.
She received a cosmetic restoration in 1993 and had been prominently displayed at the Conway Scenic in the company of her operational sibling ever since. After years of planning, the club began restoration in earnest in 2018 with the full support of the railroad and its shop using ex New Hampshire Northcoast GP9 1751 (ex PRR) as a major parts donor for the four year long restoration project.
Addendum: thanks to Carl Byron for supplying the fascinating historical information below that I'd never read about before.
The 4268A was actually built in March, 1949 as Engineering Test Dept Locomotive #930. Used for high altitude component testing on the DRGW's Soldier Summit among other locations. It spent some of that summer masquerading as a CB&Q locomotive leading their passenger car display at the 1949 Chicago World's Fair. It was then was cleaned up, re-engined, and made into to a standard F7A and offered for sale at a "slightly used demo" price. The B&M bought it and it was renumbered and painted into the B&M livery and shipped east, so while the builders plate may well say 10/49 but it certainly had a prior interesting career.
