A former ConRail SD60M leads southward 15T past the N&W-era signals that govern movements to the 5842-foot long siding. The shadowed shoulder of the Blue Ridge provides a nice backdrop.
HOME OF THE THIRD
The Draft House is a small group of #PublicHouses which aims to do for #beer what our culture has done for #food and #wine over the past twenty years. Namely, we take its provenance, cellaring and serving seriously. We celebrate choice and quality with an extra-ordinary range of strange and wonderful brews.
"Britain is full of public houses of all shapes, sizes and varieties, but I felt we'd lost something special in recent years from British life and I wanted to provide a place that recaptured my idea of the perfect public house."
#TheDraftHouse is a charming place where you can - alone or with others - experience great beer, good food, interesting people and great conversation. It's a refuge for the soul for everyone who values civility in today's world. It's always genuine, staffed by people who love their job, packed with interesting stuff, plays good music and is frequented by people just like you.

NS 12Z passes the CPLs at Stuarts Draft on a hot and muggy summer morning. Unfortunately, progress has been made in the slow signal replacement program along the Shenandoah Line, and replacements are standing here now a year later.
Train: NS 12Z with NS 8096 (ES44AC).
Stuarts Draft, VA
NS Roanoke District
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.

"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."

If you've driven up Snowball Road north of Pagosa Springs, CO, you've noticed the big blue barns and draft horses. There were five mares in this pasture, and all had colts. Ths black mare has twins. Even as young colts, their draft horse heritage is noticeable.
NS 3611 heads north through the N&W CPLs at Stuarts Draft as the train heads north toward Shenandoah Yard.
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. ;-']
...like 747 Heavies landing at O'Hare, these bees are attracted to the sugary solution in the hummingbird feeder for which it's meant. So far, no hummers. Not complaining though, since we suspect that the bees are far more endangered than those tiny birds, and without the bees, well, you know how that goes!
This is NOT a multiple exposure!
In case you didn't know: Bees produce honey by collecting nectar, a clear liquid consisting of nearly 80 percent water and complex sugars. The collecting bees store the nectar in a second stomach and return to the hive, where worker bees remove the nectar. The worker bees digest the raw nectar for about 30 minutes, using digestive enzymes to break down the complex sugars into simpler ones. Raw honey is then spread in empty honeycomb cells to dry, reducing its water content to less than 20 percent. When nectar is being processed, honey bees create a draft through the hive by fanning with their wings. When the honey has dried, the honeycomb cells are sealed (capped) with wax to preserve it.
