F40PH-3C 1050 leads Keolis/MBTA outbound Franklin Line train 711 at MP 18.53 passing under Main Street / Route 1A along the former New Haven Railroad Midland Division Mainline.
Here is a great history written by P.K. Lazarus for the 1988 MBTA Historical Property Survey:
National Register recommendation: Eligible. The tunnel appears to date to the original construction of the railroad in Walpole Center. It is a well-preserved example of stone-arch technology for bridge construction and appears to be among the oldest spans carrying an overhead roadway in the area.
The portion of the Franklin Line extending from Readville to Franklin was originally conceived of as two, short, branch lines; the Walpole Railroad, linking Walpole with Dedham, and the Norfolk County Railroad that ran from Walpole to Franklin. The Walpole Railroad was chartered but never actually built. It was vigorously contested because the populous wanted a local line independent from the larger rail lines planned to Connect Boston with New York City and the upstate Hudson River region. The Norfolk County Railroad, chartered in July, 1847, was promoted by wealthy Blackstone millowner Welcome Farnum (1796-1874). The line was opened for service from Boston to Blackstone on 16 May 1849. Farnum's plan was to extend the line through to the Hudson River in order to bring coal form Pennsylvania mines into New England. Farnum had the proposed route surveyed as far as the Hudson River at his own expense, and in 1853, the line was extended as far west as Southbridge, Massachusetts. Farnum's failure during the Panic of 1857 spelled the end of his involvement with the railroad, but the line was completed to Fishkill Landing on the Hudson in 1881. The Norfolk County Railroad went through several reorganizations, consolidations, and name changes between 1858 and 1869 when the line became part of the New York and New England Railroad. In 1898 the New York and New England became the last major acquisition to come under direct control of the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad.
The 200 foot-long, stone arch tunnel with a severe skew appears to date to the original development of the rail line in Walpole Center. Carrying Main Street over the right-of-way in a residential area north of the business center of the town, the tunnel ranks as one of the oldest structures taking a vehicular roadway of the railroad in Eastern Massachusetts. In most instances, grade crossings were not eliminated until beginning in the third quarter of the 19th century when increased rail and vehicular traffic began to become a threat to public safety. While stone arch bridges were not uncommon in the middle of the 19th century, they were usually restricted to water crossings. The only other documented railroad tunnel in Eastern Massachusetts is in 1839 Salem, but it was completely rebuilt in 1957.
The single track tunnel is built of split, rubble-coursed shale, as are the splayed wing walls and abutments, but the ring stones on both ends are dressed ashlar. The joints have been stylistically inappropriately repointed with Portland cement mortar, but otherwise the tunnel appears to be in good condition.

I'd been worried that my non-matching hat and scarf were garish, but I kind of love them together on this gray snowy day!
Love the logo. Really nicely designed and executed form of Graphic-Reduction.
Third and final testing session to make sure I have my kit dialed-in for the season ahead.
I'm sure I'll be making some additional minor tweaks and such along the way but upon review of last year, I've worked-out some kinks and issues I was having in setup and technique.
AER - American Endurance Racing - 9 hour event at New Jersey Motorsports Park (NJMP)
I enjoyed the course, I met some really lovely people.
I wanted to learn more about filters and I did ... but this shot is soft and I really wanted it to be sharp.
(I know most of my shot are soft !)
Any advice would be gratefully received :)
The newly overhauled B12 4-6-0 No. 8572 passes Sheringham Golf Course with the Quad-Art set on a train for Holt. Taken at the North Norfolk Railway Spring Gala, 10th March 2012. More shots from the Gala to follow in due course.
No correspondence.
Flawless photograph depicting personnel from the Werf Division posing with diving equipment and a chalkboard which reads (in Continental Morse Code) "Diving Course Mär 7 1915".
These territorial disputes always happen here in the wetlands but am not adept enough to photograph and just get caught flat footed watching them. Here I think I did pretty well and with the new camera being as fast as it is folks, I.M.H.O. not a bad effort. Than ks as always for the kind words, comments and of course the comments, and great to be back amongst friends.
6:45am, and I find myself looking at this beautiful vista waiting for the starter to let me out on a nice Tuesday morning round on The Boulder course in Palm Springs. It is a pretty long course with lots of sand traps that are very deep.
No golf but a ,lovely walk through Royal Troon Golf Course, this afternoon on my way back home ~ not many on the course, today!! Maybe, something to do with that cold wind!!
Stay Safe and Healthy Everyone!
Season's Greetings To Everyone

He started off toward the reeds on the other shore but reconsidered, I guess, when he saw some paddlers in his path and wound up almost right where he started. Least Bittern in California bulrushes on Horsepen Bayou.
Well, this is Portland Golf Course that runs alongside Royal Troon Golf Course ~ just a nice view to take in during my walk this morning!
Stay Safe and Healthy Everyone!

Vista from the golf course of the Golf Club Karwendel in Wallgau.
Wallgau is a town in the district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, in Bavaria, Germany.
After some beautiful weeks in September and beginning of October we have now a change in the weather. Temperature felt from 26°C to 15°C in only one day - maybe we'll get the first snow in the mountains until tomorrow.
I used a great freeware tool to align my photos to create an HDR out of three photos:

The fiercest storms may blow us off course... they may wreck our plans and break the keel, but hold on to the lines, and keep your course true.

Tomorrow morning I finally have my first darkroom course! Really excited for it, because I already have a darkroom set for my own. Just need to know how to use it and I'm done! I can make my own darkroom! How cool is that?!
May 12th, 2008 - New York, United States
Of course, I took a second shot with the girl three yards further on, so that it looked like the archer was firing his arrow at her - it should have been the perfect shot. And of course, a scruffy guy in a tracksuit ran into the frame just as I clicked the shutter, turning it into just a picture of two people in front of a yellowy-orange wall. But this is better than nothing.
