An absolutely glorious walk in Cornwall is the coastal walk from St Just to Pendeen lighthouse. It takes in a number of old tin mining sites including Botallack, Levant and Geevor.
These two buildings perched precariously on the cliffs are two engine houses for Botallack mine. The lower engine house held the steam engine for pumping water from the mine while the upper engine house was used for winding ore out of the mine. A plaque inside the upper engine house states:
"Crowns Engine Houses, Botallack Mine.
Worked before 1721 and closed in 1914. The lower pumping house was built in the 1830's & the upper winding house Pearce's in 1858. Preserved 1984 by the Carn Brea Mining Society with the help of many individuals and authorities as a tribute to past generations of Cornish miners."
The full history of Crowns Mine is well worth reading and can be found here.

The morning of May 13 found me wake and alert before dawn, so I got to shoot part of the morning fleet on the NS Lafayette District. I am familiar with the afternoon offerings on this busy freight artery, but I don't get out too often early in the day, so my insomnia had a silver lining to it.

Hailed as Union Pacific's "Living Legend," the engine is widely known among railroad enthusiasts for its excursion runs, especially over Union Pacific's fabled crossing of Sherman Hill between Cheyenne and Laramie, Wyoming.
The Northerns
The Northern class steam locomotives, with a wheel arrangement of 4-8-4, were used by most large U.S. railroads in dual passenger and freight service. Union Pacific operated 45 Northerns, built in three classes, which were delivered between 1937 and 1944. Initially the speedy locomotives, capable of exceeding 100 miles per hour, were assigned to passenger trains, including the famous Overland Limited, Portland Rose and Pacific Limited. In their later years, as diesels were assigned to the passenger trains, the Northerns were reassigned to freight service. They operated over most of UP's system.
The second series of Northerns was more than 114 feet long and weighed nearly 910,000 pounds. Most of them were equipped with distinctive smoke deflectors, sometimes called "elephant ears," on the front of the boiler. These were designed to help lift the smoke above the engine so the engine crew's visibility wasn't impaired when the train was drifting at light throttle.
The last steam locomotive built for Union Pacific was Northern No. 844. It was saved in 1960 for excursion and public relations service, an assignment that continues to this day. Any current excursions scheduled are posted on the Schedule page. Two other Northerns are on public display: No. 814 in Council Bluffs, Iowa and No. 833 in Ogden, Utah. A third Northern, No. 838, is stored in Cheyenne and is used as a parts source for No. 844.

Engine No. 374 is the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) locomotive that pulled the first transcontinental passenger train to arrive in Vancouver, arriving on May 23, 1887. This was a year after sister Engine No. 371 brought the first train to cross Canada into Port Moody, roughly 20 miles (32 km) to the east.
No. 374 was built by the CPR in 1886 and was one of eight similar steam locomotives built that year in their Montreal shops. While No. 371 was scrapped in 1915, No. 374 was completely rebuilt in 1914 and continued in service until 1945. Because of its historical significance, it was donated to the City of Vancouver upon its retirement, which placed it on display in Kitsilano Beach Park. It suffered greatly from exposure to the elements and a lack of upkeep. It remained there until 1983, when a group of railway enthusiasts launched an effort to restore the engine in time for Expo 86. It was moved from the beach and spent the next few years in different warehouses around Vancouver while a crew of volunteers undertook the task of restoring the engine. Completed in time for Expo, No. 374 was put on display on the turntable at the renovated former CPR Drake Street Roundhouse where it became a prime attraction.
1986 World Exposition on Transportation and Communication, or simply Expo 86, was a World's Fair.

I took this yesterday... I was pleased that the chimney had survived the storms and looks very solid. However, that crack in the south wall, which we first noted in 2008, has begun to spread and cause stones to be displaced. I suppose that it is too dangerous to try and conserve, not that there's the money for that any way.
