I've always been fascinating with fire escape stairs. The only thing missing here is someone running up or down. Oh well....
Five Columbia Basin Railway first generation SD9 and GP9 variants lead a massive Connell Turn south past an old wooden grain elevator at Koren, Wa. The lead unit, CBRW 651, is one of two SD9s rebuilt under Montana Rail Link into an SD19-1, and is currently (mid 2026) the only first generation six-axle left on the CBRW roster to my knowledge. The SD9s were replaced by SD40 variants toward the end of 2025 I believe, and I'm not certain if the GP's were also retired. Koren, Wa.

I received a message from Cody last evening that two of the elevators in Warner are coming down, very few of these prairie giants remain......and this just happened to the last elevator row that was left in Alberta.

Back to Singapore and another photo I overlooked. Taken from the cable car that took us to Sentosa Island. Not long after 'landing' we too were scaling the heights of Merlion by elevator and stairs within this massive structure. It was worth the effort as the views were amazing from the top.
One of the things that amazed me were the amount of ships waiting to berth.
New Richmond, Wisconsin
Nothing special, but they fascinate me as much as the skyscrapers of New York or Chicago.
Ault, Colorado
This is the first time I have visited this elevator when the light was spectacular and the base wasn't littered with parked trucks and campers.
Sipple, Montana
There is nothing else of Sipple. Built on the Milwaukee Road.
Six of my grandfather's eight siblings went to Montana before and during the Homestead boom. None ever went back to the Ozarks except to visit.
