Si vous vous aventurez du côté de Remagen, au sud de Bonn, vous tomberez sur une somptueuse gare néo-classique (toujours en fonctionnement) datant du milieu du 19ème siècle, offrant un magnifique panorama sur le Rhin. C’est la gare de Rolandseck, un lieu de rendez-vous des artistes et intellectuels au 19ème siècle ainsi que dans la deuxième moitié du 20ème siècle, transformée, depuis 2007, en musée grâce à l’ajout d’un deuxième bâtiment ultra moderne, perché au dessus sur la falaise.
La gare de Rolandseck, œuvre de l’architecte et ingénieur Emil Hermann Hartwich, a été inaugurée en 1858, à l’âge d’or du chemin de fer. De nombreuses personnalités du monde politique, artistique et culturel s’y retrouvaient. Guillaume Apollinaire a même écrit quelques poèmes, composés à Rolandseck, lors de son séjour en Allemagne entre 1901 et 1902.
Épargnée par les bombardements de la seconde guerre mondiale et tombée en désuétude, la gare devient, en 1964, grâce à un galeriste de Bonn du nom de Johannes Wasmuth, un centre artistique où sont exposées, entre autres, les œuvres de Hans Arp et de son épouse Sophie Taeuber Arp.
Au cours des années 90, Wasmuth convainc le land Rheinland-Pfalz et l’achitecte renommé Richard Meier de transformer le site en musée pour exposer une partie des oeuvres des deux artistes, œuvres léguées par la deuxième épouse de Hans Arp, Marguerite Arp-Hagenbach. C’est ainsi qu’en 2007 est inauguré le Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck.
Avant même d’entrer, on ne se lasse pas d’admirer le bel ensemble qu’offre la façade, ses balcons en fer forgé et sa verrière. Les étages supérieurs comprennant l’ancien hall de gare et les salles d’attente, servent de halls d’exposition et de restaurant.
If you venture to Remagen, south of Bonn, you'll come across a sumptuous neoclassical train station (still in operation) dating from the mid-19th century, offering a magnificent panorama of the Rhine. This is Rolandseck station, a meeting place for artists and intellectuals in the 19th and second half of the 20th centuries. Since 2007, it has been transformed into a museum thanks to the addition of a second, ultra-modern building perched above on the cliff.
Rolandseck station, the work of architect and engineer Emil Hermann Hartwich, was inaugurated in 1858, during the golden age of the railway. Many prominent figures from the worlds of politics, art, and culture used to gather there. Guillaume Apollinaire even wrote a few poems, composed in Rolandseck, during his stay in Germany between 1901 and 1902.
Spared from the bombings of the Second World War and having fallen into disuse, the station became, in 1964, thanks to a Bonn gallery owner named Johannes Wasmuth, an art center where, among other things, the works of Hans Arp and his wife Sophie Taeuber Arp were exhibited.
During the 1990s, Wasmuth convinced the state of Rheinland-Pfalz and the renowned architect Richard Meier to transform the site into a museum to exhibit some of the works of the two artists, works bequeathed by Hans Arp's second wife, Marguerite Arp-Hagenbach. Thus, in 2007, the Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck was inaugurated. Even before entering, one never tires of admiring the beautiful ensemble offered by the façade, its wrought iron balconies and its glass roof. The upper floors, including the former station hall and waiting rooms, serve as exhibition halls and a restaurant.

This isn't a staged reenactment. On many of the former USSR's less modernized lines, rail traffic is still governed by flags at stations and yard limits. In this scene, a switchman raises a yellow flag to indicate 'proceed', as 2-10-0 L-3958 enters the yard at Ostashkov.
To stimulate tourism in this economically depressed part of the country, in fall of 2018 Russian Railways made the decision to operate the regular local passenger train (6697/6698) from Bologoye to Ostashkov with steam power on Saturdays. While the idea behind it is to increase tourism, make no mistake - this a regular passenger train whose primary job is to serve as a form of local transportation. The vast majority of passengers aren't tourists, but little old babushkas just trying to get from village to village with their jars of mushrooms and pickled tomatoes. This is as authentic of an experience as you can get with a steam-hauled passenger train in the 21st century. The train takes three hours to traverse its 70-mile route and travels at speeds of 30-40 mph, making 13 stops in various villages along the way.

This train is entering East Hope, Idaho, which is near Sandpoint. Lake Pend O'Reille is just across the highway, behind us. The Fall colors all along the highway and the Bull River were absolutely stunning. Wild and beautiful country.

Yes! I redeemed myself from that mediocre picture I had posted. I like this a lot more, and hope you do too. I am very pleased to have at least made one entry to the Summer Joust this year! I have always wanted to create a middle eastern build, and I saw the chance when the contest had a category just for that: but in the end I didn't have time to make but one entry, so I had to fit it all in this one! The castle walls, the Arabic city, and the quest, which I wanted to do from Ladyhawke. Hope you like it!

UP 5306 rounds the bend out of Rocky, headed toward the CO-93 underpass and Barbara's Gulch. In another mile or two, the train will be able to pick up some speed, as the part of the Moffat with the most curves will be left behind.

About 2 miles out of Chama, the rotary outfit comes along Highway 17 as the train enters a tight little valley known as "The Narrows." As can clearly be seen, there is probably less than foot of snow on the rails.....but enough to put on a nice demonstration. Providing the motive power this day are two of the line's K-36 Locomotives, #s 487 and 484. Behind that are the rotary outfit Cook Car and a Bunk Car, with a Caboose on the tail end. Outside of the C&TS markings (vs. D&RGW), this was a pretty authentic-looking rotary outfit.
It should be noted that the 2020 Rotary Run was operated as a private charter, vs. a public event. There were two reasons for this. First, because the railroad's insurance company would not allow them to run it as an open, public event, due to safety concerns. As the CT&S CMO put it: " A rotary plow is the nuclear weapon of railfandom. If we were to run this without controls, we would have bedlam." The second reason for the security was because the event was being paid for by the 150 photographers who attended, not by the railroad. Therefore, State Police and Highway Department personnel set up a rolling work-zone. This essentially prevented any non-participating traffic from passing through the area of operations, without a police escort. Non-participants were not allowed to stop or park in the work zone. It created a safe zone for the photographers, and kept the crazies from doing their thing. In the end, it worked pretty well. It was just extremely expensive. For this reason, the railroad does not expect to run OY again on the west side.
The softness of a heavy fog drapes the landscape in a wet dewy mist. Just off the Cumberland River an inlet flows South through a grove of trees only to re-enter the river just below where it started.
