This horse has all the markings of a draft horse, a farm work animal usually used to pull carriages or equipment. It has large hooves and is built strong. The coloring looks like The American Cream, the only draft breed indiginous to the United States. It is considered rare because of a genetic condition that has reduced its numbers. Minimal texture added to reduce sunlight glare. If any flickr members recognize the horse breed, let me know because I'm not sure. Chosen as cover photo on front page of Horses, Ponies, and Foals, Sept. 2019.

Just a few minutes after dawn, NS 202 slices through the still-darkened landscape past the CPL bracket mast at Stuarts Draft. A matched set of SD70ACes leads this lengthy train north toward Shenandoah, and eventually Harrisburg. 202 and counterpart 201 are the only intermodal trains to use the lower part of the H-Line, which otherwise is limited to manifests and the occasional unit train. They're hot on the heels of northbound manifest 12Z, and are passing a 15T that's waiting in the siding right behind me.
"Lincoln's New Salem State Historic Site, about 2 miles South of Petersburg and about 20 miles Northwest of Springfield, is a reconstruction of the village where Abraham Lincoln spent his early adulthood. The six years Lincoln spent in New Salem formed a turning point in his career. Although he never owned a home here, Lincoln was engaged in a variety of activities while he was at New Salem. He clerked in a store, split rails, enlisted in the Black Hawk War, served as postmaster and deputy surveyor, failed in business, and was elected to the Illinois General Assembly in 1834 and 1836 after an unsuccessful try in 1832."

Part of my lengthy chase of an early morning 16T between Buena Vista and Compton, Va brought me to the small borough of Stuarts Draft. Here, the train hustles north at track speed, passing one of the many ex-N&W signals that still guard the sidings on the Shenandoah Line.
The sun rises in the Shenandoah Valley over Stuarts Draft as the now fallen N&W protect the control point.
A trifecta of white pelicans glide gracefully across the sky. I woke up this morning with urge to fly. What I wouldn't give to be able to soar like a bird amongst the clouds.

I think this is what these four sand hill cranes are doing. Note the perfect spacing, wing position and diagonal line. (except for the last bird that is on a level plain)
There is always one that doesn't get the word. ;-']
NS 14Z heads north through the farmland in Stuarts Draft as the train continues its journey north toward Shenandoah Yard.
Good morning, everyone.
First of all, you need to know who we are: a couple of environmental researchers and analysts.
We therefore draw on the Earth's natural resources to design our experiments and provide them with "diagnostics".
We are developing our research on the dynamics of natural fluids and their potential for action; Experience this on our YouTube channel (A.V.P.9 -Auxiliary of Shared Vision-) :
www.youtube.com/channel/UCF4t8IwDbaiJ1zBUnv3e4DQ
Today we are creating this piggy bank to have access to the equipment we need for the proper functioning and concrete realization of our projects.
This equipment is expensive and unfortunately does not plan to reduce its price, which slows us down; compared to the importance of a quality camera associated with a lens that best suits our work. We need this precision and sharpness to share our discoveries/explorations with you effectively.
To immerse yourself in our world, we warmly invite you to visit our YouTube channel and our photo gallery.
Whether it's a donation of your opinions on our drafts, or a donation that will be put into our piggy bank: they will be most rewarding!
We thank you in advance for your approval of our project developments.
Thus, it is in the face of your generosity that we will one day be able to open our doors to you: Your immersion in our world.
