With the local council deciding to dig up the main road in/out of Preston brook from the north, I decided to check out what diversion the O2 Contract would take during this weeks road closure. I anticipated that the powers that be wouldnt necessarily like sending a bus down the motorway but when you have a timetable to stick to you've got to play the hand you have been delt. Thus meaning an M56 Diversion.
A slightly different shot of V141 LGC, one of the new purchases from London, heading towards the Daresbury Junction of the '56 bound for Warrington.
In hindsight, a slightly side on shot would have been better, but im not very clever when it comes to quick thinking at the time its needed.
While it may look like BNSF has left a loco to be worked on by the local auto-body repair outfit, it is not what it appears to be. Instead, it is something major that they would never be able to handle. The 4828 had a traction motor seize-up on it and the train set out the GE on an adjacent spur next to the autobody shop until mechanical forces could inspect it. But considering how many techo-toasters I've seen with varying degrees of scorch on the BNSF, this wasn't so far fetched. Feel free to add your own caption. Hughson, CA on March 10, 2000.

Premier Jason Kenney provided details, from Medicine Hat, Alberta on Thursday, March 31, 2022, on sustainable funding for Helicopter Air Lift Operation (HALO) and Helicopter Emergency Rescue Operation (HERO), as part of Budget 2022.
For the first time, Medicine Hat-based Helicopter Air Lift Operation (HALO) will be offered guaranteed funding and a contract with Alberta Health Services, moving from a fee-for-service model. HALO will get more than $1 million in annual funding.
Fort McMurray-based Helicopter Emergency Rescue Operation (HERO) will get almost $2 million under a new five-year contract, which is double its current annual funding.
These contract changes mean better integration within the provincial air ambulance system, improved oversight and equitable and sustainable funding levels among all three helicopter air ambulance providers in Alberta.
The investment in HALO and HERO follows last week’s announcement of increased funding for STARS Air Ambulance to $15 million annually, more than doubling previous funding.
Also in attendance were Jason Copping, Minister of Health, Michaela Frey, MLA for Brooks-Medicine Hat, Paul Carolan, CEO, HALO, and Paul Spring, president, Local HERO Foundation. (photography by Chris Schwarz/Government of Alberta)

Le circuit Gilles-Villeneuve est un circuit de sports mécaniques situé au parc Jean-Drapeau sur l'île Notre-Dame, au milieu du Fleuve Saint-Laurent, à Montréal, Canada. Il porte son nom en l'honneur du pilote canadien Gilles Villeneuve, mort lors de la séance de qualification du Grand-Prix de Formule 1 de Belgique à Zolder le 8 mai 1982. Sur l'emplacement de la ligne de départ est inscrit « Salut Gilles ».
Le Grand Prix du Canada de F1 s'y est tenu de 1978 à 2008. Après une pause en 2009, celui-ci s'est couru à nouveau en 2010 le 13 juin, un accord avec la Formula One Management ayant été signé pour organiser l'événement pendant cinq ans, de 2010 à 2014
C'est un circuit rapide et spectaculaire de 4 361 mètres mais qui manque de dégagements. Robert Kubica y fut victime d'un terrifiant accident lors du Grand Prix du Canada 2007, sans blessures sérieuses pour le pilote polonais. La succession de lignes droites et de virages lents occasionne de nombreux regroupements2 et soumet les freins à rude épreuve. Nombre de pilotes, dont des champions du monde, y ont perdu leurs illusions en touchant le Mur des Champions se trouvant au dernier virage du circuit et où figurait une publicité touristique du Gouvernement du Québec et où il était inscrit « Bienvenue au Québec ».
Le 4 août 2007, le circuit Gilles-Villeneuve est l'hôte d'une course de la série Nationwide de la catégorie américaine Nascar, une première au Canada. Auparavant, de 2002 à 2006, c'est le Grand Prix de Montréal de la Champ Car qui s'y déroulait.
En dehors des courses, le circuit est ouvert à tous les sportifs, qui viennent pour y pratiquer soit le vélo, les patins à roues alignées/roller (notamment pour les 24 heures de Montréal), la course ou la marche.
The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is a motor racing circuit in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is the venue for the FIA Formula One Canadian Grand Prix. It has previously hosted the FIA World Sportscar Championship, the Champ Car World Series, the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series, the NASCAR Nationwide Series and the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series.
The venue hosted the Champ Car World Series Grand Prix of Montreal from 2002 to 2006.
The Canadian Grand Prix of Formula One racing, which had taken place for 30 years at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, was dropped from the 2009 Formula One calendar and replaced with the inaugural Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. On November 27, 2009, Quebec's officials and Canadian Grand Prix organisers announced a settlement with Formula One Administration and signed a new five-year contract spanning the 2010–2014 seasons.
The 2011 edition took place on June 12 at 1:00 pm (17:00 GMT) and was the longest World Championship Grand Prix ever, due to a lengthy rain delay

the ability to choose and arrange the rainbow's spectrum can be transformed into an intellectual motif -- the rainbow of consciousness and the explosion of the individual within the whole.
all of us are born into this social contract of humanity. we don't have any choice about this. we are raised and reared within the boundaries of these social contracts.
currently, in this part of the world, there is a loosening of the moral and religious hold on sexuality and the range of the human heart's ability to be bigger than the limited and challenging gender roles of the past.
both sexes, men and women, are starting to understand themselves inside a much greater context and understanding than we think the past afforded.
it is just one of the outgrowths of a materialized capitalistic system of social contracting.
with moving imagery and invisible worlds now firmly entrenched across the country, the powerful syndrome of "the emperor who wore no clothes" can take full effect.
in the original tale, the narrative stops short on the exclamation of a small girl child who says, "but, mommy, he's not wearing any clothes!"
and of course, the moral right and the rigid uptight sexual judgers all come down on the period with their verdict -- which really is that the emperor has been cheated and defrauded in front of everyone.
but we already know of this lesson.
so perhaps we really should be asking where our true naked leaders are -- not the one who got cheated and defrauded and paraded in front of his subjects by clever tailors. we should be asking where our naked leaders of greatness and awesomeness and full human glory might be.
we really should be considering the idea that our leaders shouldn't need to be covered up in metaphorical or physical buffers and boundaries.
but our leaders are weapons manufacturers and drug dealers and pornographers.
our leaders spread disease and pestilence and cause wars in other countries.
our leaders are not rainbow warriors. they are gold and diamond collectors. they use time and drugs to rule and reign. they use entertainment and news to delight and bemuse.
we are the fire children.
we love our energy.
but we don't worship the sun like we used to in the alleged past.
we worship ourselves.
and this worship of the self is the exploding dahlia.
we are these dahlias floating through space. and each of us explode one day.
