Alongside the cycle path on the route of the former Chesterfield and Lincoln Direct Railway, approaching the former Fledborough Railway Station, in between Fledborough and High/Low Marnham in Nottinghamshire.
The station was opened by the LD&ECR in March 1897 and closed by British Railways in 1955. The station and the stationmaster's house were built in the company's standard style. From Tuxford the line fell gently past Marnham, where in 1960, High Marnham Power Station was built. The junction to the power station was about 500 yards west of Fledborough Station, which was, in turn, just before the line crossed the River Trent by means of the Fledborough Viaduct.
Like most new railways of the time the Chesterfield and Lincoln Direct Railway's purpose was the carriage of coal. The project's leading light was William Arkwright, a descendant of Richard Arkwright who had made the family's fortune by mechanising the spinning of cotton. William Arkwright had settled at Sutton Scarsdale Hall near Chesterfield and with the land came extensive deposits of coal.
The rail network in the vicinity provided by the Midland Railway and the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway was still in its infancy and would not meet his requirements. In 1887 the Chesterfield and Lincoln Direct Railway was proposed independently to join with Midland lines at each end. It would cross his land but received insufficient support.
Arkwright decided to promote an independent line to provide through roads to opposite coasts of the country. In time it became known as "The East to West". It would be sufficiently large to maintain itself in the face of competition from other railways. There were a number of lines already approved but not carried forward which could be incorporated. With the Newark and Ollerton there was the Macclesfield and Warrington Railway and the Lincoln and East Coast Railway. A number of other lines had been considered but not formally proposed and these, together with plans for dock works at Sutton on Sea which had been approved in 1884, gave Arkwright his route and support from the various landowners involved. The Lancashire Derbyshire and East Coast Railway Company was formed at 27 George St in Westminster and published its plans in 1890.
There was initially a deal of opposition from landowners and other railway companies but, in the end, the main opponent was the MS&LR because the line would bypass its own line from Sheffield to Retford and thence to London. The Great Eastern Railway turned from opponent to supporteer, realising that the line could give it an entree to the Midlands coalfields. The Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway Act authorising building the line was given Royal Assent on 5 August 1891.
Due to lack of investment, only the portion from Chesterfield to Lincoln was built. To have continued west of Chesterfield would have required some extremely expensive and difficult engineering works. It was an ambitious undertaking, with some extremely expensive engineering works, crossing the Peak District which had always been a major headache for railway builders. Even to the east it crossed lines of hills running north and south. In addition it would conflict with the lines of a number of other railway companies.
From Lincoln the line would continue eastward over the Lincolnshire Wolds, with a junction near Stainfield as it crossed the GNR Louth to Bardney line. Proceeding well to the north of Horncastle it would cross the East Lincolnshire Railway to the southwest of Alford passing to the south. It would then join that line's loop (at that time known as the Willoughby Railway) near Thurlby turning north east to Sutton on Sea, where the North Sea port would be built.
Passenger services over the line to Lincoln finished in September 1955.
CN M394 proceeds eastbound at Pulham Road on the CN Strathroy Subdivision west of London, Ontario. Taking charge of the train is Canadian Pacific AC4400CWM 8157. This train caused quite a stir, as CP (or foreign power as a whole) is a bit rare to come by leading CN trains through Southwestern Ontario. The light was decent enough for this shot, the sun going in and out of the clouds. It's good enough.

Here are two items used with my pop-up flash macro bracket. One is necessary... the direct flash shield, the other is a nice option... the frozen dinner bowl flash diffuser. Both are adapted for mounting on the front of a lens using a Raynox UAC2000 snap-on lens adapter. It allows mounting their macro lenses (and now my attachments) on any lens having a filter ring between 52mm and 67mm. It fits on like a lens cap by pressing two tabs. This convenient adapter is the 43mm model supplied with their DCR-150 and DCR-250 macro lenses, and is available separately. If focusing your lens results in the shield or diffuser rotating away from its position directly in front of the pop-up flash, simply squeeze the two mounting tabs and reposition the shield.
The diffuser is made from the plastic bowl that comes with a Marie Callender or Healthy Choice “steamer” frozen dinner. It provides diffused pop-up flash lighting, with soft edged shadows. Clipping a small piece of black paper or plastic on the back of the diffuser allows you to selectively block a portion of the flash, creating directional soft lighting, adjusted by moving the material right or left. Bowls from any dinners having tomato sauce shouldn't be used. Even after vigorous scrubbing, running through a dish washer, or soaking in a variety of cleaners and solvents, a very slight orange stain will remain, enough to produce a color shift in your images. Most other varieties are OK, their bowls being completely neutral, as with the one in this photo.
The "direct flash" shield is used to prevent direct light from the pop-up flash falling on your subject. Operating at very close macro-shooting distances, the flash could create heavy overexposure. With this in place on a lens, all lighting is bounced onto your subject using bracket mounted reflectors.

Direct Rail Services livered BR Class 90, 90034 stands at the Country end of London Euston's platform 7 awaiting departure time with Virgin Trains' 1G40 19:03 London Euston to Birmingham New Street service.
Some information about the Class 90:
The British Rail Class 90 electric locomotives were built by BREL at Crewe in 1987-1990, weighing 84.5 tonnes and with a top speed of 110 mph (180 km/h). They operate from 25 kV AC overhead lines and produce 5,000 bhp (3,700 kW). The class is employed on express passenger and heavy freight trains. Their main passenger roles include the Caledonian Sleeper, the ex-Virgin trains Mark 3 set and the Abellio Greater Anglia services from London to Norwich. Freight operations are with DB Schenker and Freightliner on a mixture of roles mainly on the West Coast Main Line and the Great Eastern Main Line.
Fifty Class 90/0 locomotives were built in the late 1980s, numbered 90001-050. They were developed from the Class 87, with many improvements and new features. The Class 90s were primarily built to replace the ageing Classes 81, 82, 83, 84 and 85 dating from the early 1960s, which were prone to fire damage.
The class is fitted with rheostatic brakes in addition to standard Westinghouse air brake equipment. A Time-Division Multiplexer (TDM) is fitted to enable two or more locomotives to work in multiple. It also allows a Class 90 to work a push-pull passenger train with a Driving Van Trailer (DVT), DBSO or Propelling Control Vehicle.
A Class 90 with a rake of eight British Rail Mark 3 coaches and a Driving Van Trailer (DVT) will reach 60 mph (97 km/h) in just over 1 mile (1.6 km), and 100 mph (161 km/h) in another 1 1⁄2 miles (2.4 km).

FEDERAL STUDENT LOANS: Education Could Do More to Help Ensure Borrowers Are Aware of Repayment and Forgiveness Options
Note: To determine participation, we examined data for 11.2 million borrowers with Direct Loans (excluding those with only parent PLUS loans) in active repayment (not in deferment, forbearance, or default) with an outstanding balance as of September 2014. Borrowers participating in Extended repayment with fixed payments are included in Standard, and Extended repayment with graduated payments are included in Graduated. Other includes some borrowers who did not have a repayment plan.
a) Among Income-Based Repayment borrowers, 87 percent had a partial financial hardship and were paying less than they would on the 10-year Standard plan, and 13 percent had payments equal to the 10-year Standard plan.
b) Among Pay As You Earn borrowers, 95 percent had a partial financial hardship and were paying less than they would on the 10-year Standard plan, and 5 percent had payments equal to the 10-year Standard plan.
