The Chain - Fleetwood Mac (just because I like their music).
Thank you for your views, faves and or comments, they are much appreciated! Have a great day and ... listen to the 🎶 music!
After shooting I014 with the 911 at Rochdale I thought I could make it to the top of the parking garage before they pulled in. Alas they were the fastest CSXT crew in history and despite making all the lights, by the time I sprinted from the fourth floor to the roof of the parking garage (since the top level was chained off precluding driving all the way up like usual) I literally missed the shot by 30 seconds as I watched the head end disappear behind the garage! It was a (no) photo finish, but at least one other person got it...
Anyway, to get a sense of what might have been here is the well known scene only about 45 min later as regular daily I022 (Syracuse to Worcester premium intermodal) arrives between two run of the mill Gevos and is seen crossing over at CP45 to enter the west end of the yard at the east end of CSXT's Boston Sub mainline. Looking on behind the units is long closed New Haven tower SSM334 dating from the 1911 grade separation project and track configuration when the Boston and Albany built Union Station and reconfigured the trackage in the area in conjunction with tenants New Haven and Boston and Maine whose lines entered from the south and north respectively.

Hereford Cathedral
The Chained Library at Hereford Cathedral is a unique and fascinating treasure in Britain’s rich heritage of library history; there were books at Hereford Cathedral long before there was a ‘library’ in the modern sense.
The cathedral’s earliest and most important book is the 8th-century Hereford Gospels; it is one of 229 medieval manuscripts which now occupy two bays of the Chained Library.
The chaining of books was the most widespread and effective security system in European libraries from the Middle Ages to the 18th century, and Hereford Cathedral’s 17th-century Chained Library is the largest to survive with all its chains, rods and locks intact.
A chain is attached at one end to the front cover of each book; the other end is slotted on to a rod running along the bottom of each shelf. The system allows a book to be taken from the shelf and read at the desk, but not to be removed from the bookcase.
The books are shelved with their foredges, rather than their spines, facing the reader (the wrong way round to us); this allows the book to be lifted down and opened without needing to be turned around – thus avoiding tangling the chain.
The specially designed chamber in the New Library Building not only means that the whole library can now be seen in its original arrangement as it was from 1611 to 1841, but also allows the books to be kept in controlled environmental conditions according to modern standards of presentation.
The Széchenyi Chain Bridge is a suspension bridge that spans the River Danube between Buda and Pest, the western and eastern sides of Budapest, the capital of Hungary. Designed by the English engineer William Tierney Clark, it was the first permanent bridge across the Danube in Hungary, and was opened in 1849.
It is anchored on the Pest side of the river to Széchenyi (formerly Roosevelt) Square, adjacent to the Gresham Palace and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and on the Buda side to Adam Clark Square, near the Zero Kilometre Stone and the lower end of the Castle Hill Funicular, leading to Buda Castle.
The bridge has the name of István Széchenyi, a major supporter of its construction, attached to it, but is most commonly known as the Chain Bridge. At the time of its construction, it was regarded as one of the modern world's engineering wonders.[citation needed] It has asserted an enormous significance in the country's economic, social and cultural life, much as the Brooklyn Bridge has in New York and United States of America.
