To date this short one day visit was the only time I got to visit the famed former Norfolk and Western mainline, now Norfolk Southern's Pocahontas District. I really need to get back here some day!
An eastbound coal load behind a pair of EMDs is passing beneath the vintage N&W era color position light signals at MP 377.1 as they climb the 1.4 grade and cross the line from McDowell County into Mercer County. The slide fences guard the approach to Elkhorn Tunnel whose west portal is just behind me. That 7100 ft double track bore under Flat Top Mountain opened in 1950 along with a five mile long bypass of the historic 2.5% Elkhorn grade replacing a single track tunnel dating from 1889 and leading to the shut down of N&W's 50 miles of electrictrification.

With the imposing Livingston Peak rising in the background, 6800 feet of traffic begins its slow climb over Bozeman Pass with two freshly washed EMD's in charge. The town of Livingston can be seen in the background as the mountains fade into prairie before climbing back up to the Crazy Mountains near Big Timber.

Vermont Railway train 263 is grinding eastward on the Green Mountain Railroad's Bellows Falls Subdivision on a cloudy late fall morning. They are approaching the popular photo location at the s-curve leading into the first Vermont Route 103 crossing at about MP 45.7 on this historic former Rutland mainline which opened between Bellows Falls and Burlington in 1849. In the lead is SD70M-2 431 built in December 2006 for the Florida East Coast, and one of only two six axle units on the roster. She is trailed by three geeps (GMTX 2215, CLP 204, VTR 207) and thirty cars destined for Riverside Yard in Rockingham. The train is working hard and is in the process of climbing nearly 1000 ft in the 18 mile stretch from Rutland until they reach the crest of the Green Mountains at 1518 ft nearly aptly named Summit Station.
A half dozen miles to the west rise the 2000+ foot peaks of the Taconic Mountains which are catching some late morning sun that would prove elusive over here to the east in the Greens.

Amtrak’s westbound Southwest Chief climbs Raton Pass at Wootton, Colorado, on March 6, 2005. Two deadhead Superliner cars up front make for a strange looking train…
The landscape looked very different in the Pennine hills 14 years ago! 45407 and 76079 climb past Cornholme on the climb to Copy Pit on 4 March 2006.

When I first read other lynn's intro to Shocktober this year, I tactfully told her that altho I hadn't climbed any mts. in Az last winter, there were some hills that were pretty strenuous for me.
Right-o she said, so when I do your Halloween make over this year I'll put you on a hill you really did climb and I won't mess with you and make you look silly b/c you already do.
I let that slide.
But, she added, I may add some frills and Az wildlife to make it look more Halloweeny.
Ok, great.....or so I thought.
THIS is the hill she put me on and these are the frills and wildlife.
sigh
But never mind.
Shocktober has once again come to an end.
And once again, many thanks to all who joined in the the fun fearlessly. Bravery above and beyond the call of flickr duty.
And to those who added their own twisted images to Shocktober, you brought the season to new heights of depraved depths. You are all mad geniuses.
Kathy, thanks for administrating.
So now there's nothing left to do but say BOO and....
HAPPY HALLOWEEN 👹 😈 👻 👺 🎃 .....💋mmm-wah

This is a great place to think, or not think. Whatever your pleasure, you might find it on top of your mountain.
The climb over the dune to the lighthouse "Rubjerg Knude" in Danmark.
(It`s not in Africa)
On the left side you can see the top of the tower over the dune.
For 122 Pictures in 2022 #15 "Climbing", this scissor-tailed flycatcher has just launched for a climb up to some power lines just overhead. They do not like anyone getting too close, which I'm afraid we did. Taken on Settegast Rd near the Artist Boat Coastal Heritage Preserve on Galveston Island, Texas.
One has to be very careful when climbing under these circumstances. It's not exactly like climbing the north face of the Eiger (that's my joke), but you certainly have to watch your footing.
Hope you like this one, taken from my garden wildlife pond. Its been a good year for little frogs, such as this one. I hope they continue to thrive. Last year was it much drier and the sparrows were feeding them to their young. Such is nature!
Many thanks for your comments and/or favs, which are greatly appreciated.
