There are times in life when you wish you could just cross the line! This was one of them. The path made me want to keep going, but for whatever reason, the City of Port Orange made this a definite no no. Considering some of the things that exist in areas that aren't maintained like a park here in Florida, there were distinct reasons for obeying the signs and locked gate. The park area itself is mowed and well maintained, but the area beyond the gate might not have been, leaving visitors risking an encounter with overgrowth which might even obscure a small pond or hole. ANY water hole here can be an invitation for alligators, and worse, snakes like water moccasins, which are deadly.
The reason I started coming here was because I met a man at another park once while I was taking pics, and he asked me if I'd been to the park in Port Orange where the water moccasins came out of the water at dusk. I asked where it was, and he told me about this park! I have never seen a water moccasin at Bushman Park, but that doesn't mean they aren't there. Like most snakes, Cottonmouths, or water moccasins as they are called more often, avoid people when possible, but they can be aggressive when cornered. Of course, I had no idea what exactly I'd do if I encountered one, but I dearly wanted to get a photo of one! After several visits, I still haven't seen one.
The scenic beauty of the side areas of this park remind us of what Florida is like in the wild, but still safe enough for people to be there. Without keeping the grass and underbrush down, it would be a real habitat for rattlesnakes, too. As pretty as the area beyond the gate seemed, I much prefer the safety of the pleasant boundary placed there!
The ELR starts in Heywood, follows the Irwell Valley to Rawtenstall. We were going to have a look around but it was raining so headed back to Bury

The legendary Penzance Fryer - featuring pioneer Class 40 D200 :) There were many fine railtours back in the 1980s, and it was often possible to get haulage behind your favourite class and travel over rare track at the same time, as with this tour, and all for a modest outlay of £15-20. Happy days 😍
In this view we see pioneer loco D200 (aka 40122) - steaming away nicely awaiting departure after having run round the train at Penzance - the very first of the class to make it there! The railtour - "The Penzance Fryer" - which was run by Traintours, became rather infamous, with D200 suffering over the South Devon Banks and almost coming to a standstill on the Cornish hills! The tour started at the ungodly hour of 03.00 at Manchester Victoria, but with 45107 in charge. From memory, I joined the tour at Crewe where D200 took over 😎)
I don't recall jumping down onto the tracks, but I guess I was keen to get an unusual angle of D200 as she steamed away, as the crowds were teeming on the platform :)
Anyone recognise themselves on the platform?
And does anyone recall what time we departed Penzance - it's not clear on Six Bells Junction: www.sixbellsjunction.co.uk/80s/851109tt.htm
NOW on SoundCloud! Enjoy the sound of the English Electric Type 4 - for a good 45mins you can immerse yourself in reliving the experience of hanging out of a Mark 1 carriage window behind a classic diesel 😎
The recordings I made on the day were recorded onto a Maxell II metal tape and have lasted quite well over the last 40 years - some distortion with the loco at full power much of the time, but atmospheric all the same!

Track list:
1) Start - 2m 00s we start with D200 as she struggles up Dainton Bank, between Newton Abbot and Totnes, with 10 Mk. 1s. The train can clearly be heard entering Dainton Tunnel.
2) 2m 10s - 7m 50s D200 is now struggling even more up Rattery Bank on full throttle 😍) after leaving Totnes - the weather was foul all day and the rails were somewhat slippery!
3) 7m 50s - 14m 05s continuing up Rattery Bank, with Wrangaton summit finally reached at 12m 15s!
4) 14m 10s - 19m 45s now we’re on the return working, just passed Saltash and over Brunel’s finest bridge on the run into Plymouth (slightly garbled on this section)
5) 19m 50s - 21m 15s after a short scheduled stop at Plymouth, the station staff attempt to get the train moving again 😍)
6) 21m 20s - 26m 20s finally we depart Plymouth, and whistle through the suburbs before getting signal stopped.
7) 26m 25s - 27m 35s after the signal stop, the train continues east heading for the infamous Hemerdon Bank!
8) 27m 35s - 30m 35s D200 with a standing start at the foot of Hemerdon Bank! , with Wrangaton summit finally reached at 12m 15s!
9) 30m 40s - 35m 30s D200 continues on full power up Hemerdon Bank 😍)

11) 35m 55s - 38m 45s we now depart Bristol Temple Meads heading north for Birmingham.
12) 38m 45s - 43m 40s and as a suitable finale, we hear D200 at Bromsgrove again performing a standing start on the attack of the famous Lickey Incline!
The British Rail Class 40s were built by English Electric between 1958 and 1962. They were numbered D200-D399. Despite their initial success, by the time the last examples were entering service they were already being replaced on some top-level duties by more powerful locomotives. As they were slowly relegated from express passenger uses, the type found work on secondary passenger and freight services where they worked for many years. The final locomotives ended regular service in 1985. The locomotives were commonly known as "Whistlers" because of the distinctive noise made by their turbochargers.
British Railways originally ordered ten Class 40s, then known as "English Electric Type 4s", as evaluation prototypes. They were built at the Vulcan Foundry in Newton-le-Willows, Lancashire. The first locomotive, D200, was delivered to Stratford on 14 March 1958. Following fitter and crew training, D200 made its passenger début on an express train from London Liverpool Street to Norwich on 18 April 1958. Five of the prototypes, Nos. D200, D202-D205, were trialled on similar services on the former Great Eastern routes, whilst the remaining five, Nos. D201, D206-D209, worked on Great Northern services on the East Coast Main Line.

I'm not perfectly pleased with the symmetry (or the lack thereof) of this shot... grrr. This was one of the last shots I took before we moved on, and by that time everyone was antsy to get going. So I didn't have time to re-frame it. Oh well. This is what it looks like on the other side of the sign.

This shot of 'The Tempest' by Jim Vision was taken last Saturday during my pre London Flickr Photowalk photowalk. I'm no expert on street art but Jim is one of my favourite street artists so it was a pleasant surprise to bump into this one in Berwick Street, Soho.

From his website, "Jim Vision is a visionary artist, a Post Modern Vandal and painter of large-scale murals and graffiti. His personal drive has challenged the zero tolerance policies of local councils and progressed the Graffiti culture and Street Art industry of East London.
A leading protagonist of London's contemporary street art culture, Jim’s talent has taken him all across the globe, from Buenos Aires to Tahiti, Miami to Mexico. Some highlights include invitations to paint at the Ono'u festival in Tahiti, Banksy’s Cans2 festival in Leake Street tunnel Waterloo, MuTATE Britain, Westbank gallery’s Gonzo Exhibition, and a major EndoftheLine retrospective at LondonNewcastle in Shoreditch .
Jim’s subject matter often features thought-provoking issues, both environmental and political, intertwined with fantastical often apocalyptic visions of the past, present and future. The prophetic nature of his work challenges cultural expectations and predicts an uneasy future."

The Midland Metro's new southern terminus (and trip hazard) is the head shunt for trams to reverse at the junction of Stephenson Street and Pipers Row. The main task here is to establish a sighting board for the driver to pinpoint where to stop clear of the turn back crossover. Tram No. 37 illuminates the scene in the early hours of 24th April 2016.

Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center, closed 1994. The facility operated from 1924-1994. In it's heyday, up to 5500 resident patients were housed here in the dozens of buildings. The entire campus spreads over 700+ acres in the peaceful little rural town of Wingdale, NY. Originally constructed to be used as a prison, but that plan was met with much disdain by the local residents who fought the plan whereas it was subsequently converted for use as a state psychiatric hospital.
We were told that a Korean organization has now purchased the entire operation with a plan to restore the buildings and convert all for use of an Evangelist Christian university. (not confirmed) Apparently, OSHA has a permanent party resident there, and there has been fines levied against the owners because of workers found working in asbestos, lead paint, and overall toxic environments.
All interior shots were done through windows, many of which were broken. Obviously, entry into any of the buildings was not available, nor was it an option.

It's game over for 45051, 45044, 45049 and 45070 at Glasgow Works. 45051 was being stripped for spares and the reason the marker lights are on is because the batteries were connected to a generator to provide power to the engine room lights
