The Barbours Cut container terminal in the Port of Houston sends traffic to the rest of the country via shuttle trains that run to UP and BNSF's primary Houston-area intermodal facilities.
Here is UP's shuttle train, MBCHO (which is symboled as a manifest train), rolling through Deer Park Jct on the south side of the Houston Ship Channel.
In another 20 miles or so, the train will arrive and make connections at UP's Houston Intermodal Terminal at Settegast Yard.
The track in the foreground leads to Frontier Logistics's large warehouse and small SIT yard. They're switching this morning, hence the blue flag placed on the lead.

The first depot was built on this site in 1905 when the Louisville & Nashville Railroad Line came to Foley. The railroad was once known as the Bay Minette and Fort Morgan Railroad. At that time, logging was an important industry in this area and the railroad was built to help move the timber out of the area.
At one time, there were two trains per day going in each direction - one to Foley and the other to Bay Minette. These trains were wood burners. They had fairly high smokestacks in order to deaden the live sparks that could cause fires in this timber area. There was also wire netting stretched across the smokestack to help keep the cinders from flying into the woods.
Wood racks were found along the railway so that the wood burners would always have a supply of wood. The settlers would cut and haul their wood to these racks. When the wood was loaded into the train’s tinderbox, the engineer would sign a “wood ticket.” The settler would turn in this ticket for cash.
The trains would also bring in passengers from the North who were coming to Baldwin County to buy land and build homes. In Bay Minette travelers would transfer from the main line to a small coach. This small passenger train became known as “The Pine Knot Special.” The train would make many stops along the 36-mile trip from Bay Minette to pile on wood or to let people off near their farms.
Foley became a growing and thriving community. The railroad served as a means to get the various crops to market. Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, tobacco and cucumbers were some of the main crops that were shipped on the railroad.
The first depot that was built in 1905 burned to the ground in 1908. It was rebuilt and served as the center of activity for the community for many years.
In 1971, word was received that L & N was going to discontinue service to Foley and would destroy the building. John Snook, owner of Gulf Telephone Company bought the building for $1.00. He cut the depot and the freight area into two parts and moved them to Magnolia Springs. There it stayed for approximately twenty-four years and served as storage for Gulf Telephone. In the early nineties, Mr. Snook deeded the depot back to the city of Foley. In 1995, it was returned to the original site and renovations were begun to make the depot into a museum for the city.

Coldstones Cut is Yorkshire’s biggest and highest public artwork with spectacular views.
The Coldstones Cut is a piece of public art on a monumental scale. It was created by Andrew Sabin as a cultural response to Coldstones Quarry.
From an array of platforms visitors can view the vast quarry hole, limestone quarrying operation and sweeping panoramas across the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It’s an exposed spot so you to wrap up warm even on a sunny day!
I was taking pictures of them to sell them ,but I decided to stop and play with them a little. They are a little scuffed from my childhood ,but they are still very good.

This is a 1.75" section of a 3.25" laser-cut crystal cube I got as a 15-year anniversary for my employment at CSK Auto Inc., now O'Reilly Auto Parts. Several months after receiving this really cool gift, O'Reilly, who had acquired our company, no longer needed my services and laid me off, along with 350 others. But that's another story.
Nothing like celebrating at the end of a performance...sometimes you just have to cut loose and be goofy AF!!

On the headland about 10m above St Peter's church there are two sets of rock-cut tombs or graves. They probably date from the 10th century. Each grave is cut out of the sandstone.
A set of six of these, two straight-sided and four body-shaped all with socket holes at the top where a wooden cross would have been placed. Two more rock-cut graves can be seen close by. The graves are often filled with rain water.
In 1970 a cemetery to the S of this site was excavated and 85 sets of bones were found and dated to the 10th-11th century. The rock cut graves are grade 1 listed and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
