Scenes like this just never get old for me even though I continue to. I can recall walking this road 30 years ago. I don't think there's any recognizable change in its appearance after all this time. It's as desolate and lonely looking now as it was then. And that's the appeal for me. It's a secondary road at best, and sees comparatively little traffic. It's possible to stand out here right on the centerline for long stretches without having to flee from speeding cars. And I do stand here for long stretches. I always bring the camera, but spend most of my time just observing the landscape and appreciating the desolation. I derive energy from straddling the divide, the boundary between the adjacent farm fields. Could be the sense of casual geometry one gets standing at just the right angle. Not sure there's any scientific basis for any of this, but it feels very real to me. This is high ground and it's always windy up here. Uncomfortably so on cool days, but that's part of the experience so I just dress accordingly. Weirdly this is one of those places where the more off-putting the weather, the more attractive it is. My best times here are spent in the most awful weather conditions. Somehow nice weather defeats the desolation and weakens the emotional impact. Nope, it never gets old.

Una linea roja divide a la sociedad entre dos ideas . La alegoría quiere representarla. La interpretación es libre.
A red line divides society between two ideas. The allegory is meant to represent it. Interpretation is free.
I just loved the colours on this water worn rock, as the water divided around it. Abergwesyn common is a magical spot, and Vision of Division by the Strokes is fine.
A practice in patience for the crew of this eastbound Union Pacific manifest. The train had permission from South Saint Paul to the west leg of the wye here at Division Street. It was supposed to follow an eastbound coal train, but that stalled and blocked the route for well over an hour. It eventually backed into Hoffman Yard and clear the track for this movement to head to the UP Altoona Subdivision. The train is now finally underway passing the Union Depot Rail View Park.
The Hill Job rolls through residential Tacoma behind a pair of former demonstrator SD70ACe-P4s sandwiching a GP23ECO. The SD70ACe-P4 was EMD's solution to the GE ES44C4 featuring a B1-1B axle configuration where the axle closest to the fuel tank is unpowered. BNSF bought 20 of these engines in 2014.
The SD70ACe-P4s make up the largest engines on the Tacoma Rail roster and are regularly assigned to the Mountain Division which features a 3-4% grade coming out of Tacoma. The Milwaukee Road historically operated a roster of 2-6-6-2 Mallets on this stretch of territory that were initially built for the Pacific Extension mainline west of Harlowton, Montana but were relegated to Tacoma after electrification. Following dieselization, an EMD F7A/B mother-slug set replaced the Mallets and operated out of Tacoma until the Milwaukee Road abandoned all operations west of Miles City, Montana in 1980.
