A pair of former Santa Fe GP30s and a blue Southwestern Railroad GP40 sandwich a work train headed to Peru Hill to dump ties and rail for a siding project. The supplies were collected on the disused northern portion of the SW line near Hanover. After spending most of the day unloading in Peru Hill, the train made an evening run back to Hanover where it will remain until Friday for another southbound run.
Palazzo Reale di Fès,
Costruito nel XIV secolo è uno dei più grandi e antichi del Marocco.
Il palazzo fu ubicato all'esterno della vecchia medina; dopo la sua costruzione, fu edificata una nuova medina, Fès el-Jdid, per soddisfare le esigenze del palazzo.
Come la maggior parte delle moschee e dei palazzi in Marocco, il Palazzo Reale di Fès non si può visitare.
I turisti possono solo osservare le impressionanti porte che conducono al palazzo: sono sette porte di dimensioni diverse, che rappresentano i sette giorni della settimana e i sette livelli della monarchia.
Royal Palace of Fes,
Built in the 14th century, it is one of the largest and oldest in Morocco.
The palace was located outside the old medina; after its construction, a new medina, Fès el-Jdid, was built to meet the needs of the palace.
Like most mosques and palaces in Morocco, the Royal Palace of Fes cannot be visited.
Tourists can only observe the impressive doors leading to the palace: they are seven doors of different sizes, representing the seven days of the week and the seven levels of the monarchy.

Encore appelé "Table des Fées" ou même "Bise Pierre", vieux de plus de 4000 ans, il est l'unique rescapé d'un ensemble mégalithique gigantesque, malheureusement démantelé au XIXème siècle. A l'origine, cet ensemble était constitué :
- de 4 dolmens, disposés en losange, reliés entr'eux par des allées de pierres levées et formant, par ce fait, une enceinte sacrée ;
- de 2 galgals (le 1er de 26 m de long sur 1,60 m de haut, le 2ème de 50 m de long sur 2 m de haut) qui délimitaient l'ensemble au Nord-Ouest.
En fait les quatre dolmens symbolisaient les points cardinaux et étaient reliés par un chemin de grès. Les tailleurs de grès du 19emme siècle cassèrent le trois autres pour paver des routes. Frappé par la foudre ce Dolmen échappa aux marteaux des paveurs.
Situé entre le hameau de Verdrel et celui de Fresnicourt, le dolmen est visible rue du Dolmen à Fresnicourt Le Dolmen.
On dit que ce coin de bois est surnaturel…
A certaines périodes de l’année, des fées « les demoiselles blanches », se réunissent autour du dolmen pour célébrer des rites anciens. Leurs silhouettes forment une ronde et dansent au son d’une musique. Malheur aux passants qui, envoûtés par les sortilèges, sont entraînés sous le dolmen dans le monde des fées.

I guess that the back of semaphore signals is better than nothing but I sure wish that I would have followed this guy and got him passing more "blades"!
Santa Fe SD45 #5331 on the point of the Eastbound QEPKC pulls out of the East end of Ojita siding in New Mexico on April 13th, 1990.
It had just met the Westbound Southwest Chief.
On August 21, 1991, 34 years ago, Santa Fe B23-7 6406 leads westbound trailers up the grade of the Caprock escarpment between the sidings of Buenos and Southland in rattlesnake country of West Texas. This is the Texas mainline connecting Galveston/Houston/Dallas with the Transcon at Clovis, New Mexico. The train has just left rugged ranching and oil country and will top out in a few minutes in very flat farm and oil country. Photo by Joe McMillan.
Santa Fe's longest branch line, the San Angelo Subdivision, ran 386 miles across desolate West Texas from San Angelo Junction (west of Brownwood on the Texas main line) to Presidio, Texas, on the Mexican border.
In October 1968, it took me three days of engine and caboose riding to make the trip from Brownwood to Presidio. The first day got me from Brownwood to San Angelo, 71 miles, mostly at night; the second day had me riding a trailing F-unit from San Angelo to Fort Stockton, 167 miles, on train 129; and the third day was a caboose ride from Fort Stockton to Presidio, 145 miles. Yes, it was a long trip. The last segment, from Fort Stockton to Presidio, was mainly at night.
We arrived at the border station just after sun up. The crew went on their rest. I wandered around the area all-day, going to Ojinaga on the Mexican side to photograph the Chihuahua Pacific Railroad (Ch-P), one of my all-time favorite railroads.
Late in the afternoon, the crew went on duty and did some switching and shoved a long cut of cars down to the International bridge to transfer to the Ch-P. In this scene at sunset, October 18, 1968, the units (a GP7 and two GP7Bs) and caboose pause in front of the station while the crew gets their orders to head back to Fort Stockton. It will be another all-night caboose trip, but I will get off at Alpine, Texas, in the wee hours and get a motel room. The following day, I will catch SP's SUNSET LIMITED to El Paso, another Santa Fe freight to Belen, New Mexico, and more freights back to my home in Topeka, Kansas.
The San Angelo Subdivision was once the main line of the KCM&O, a segment in Arthur Stilwell's dream to build a railroad from Kansas City to the Gulf of California, a shorter distance to the Pacific than Kansas City to California ports. Santa Fe acquired the KCM&O in 1928, but it never developed as a through route as planned.
The Subdivision was sold in 1998, and there are still attempts to establish through service.
The depot, shown in this image, was destroyed by fire a few years later.
A Médina is a walled section of a city, usually defining the old city. In Fes there are twisting, turning narrow streets of cobblestones and clay. Watch out for donkeys loaded high with goods on their backs. Also watch out for the mopeds, motorcycles, bicycles and handcarts that comes charging towards you demanding right of way: not a place for the intrepid.
In a Médina you can purchase anything in leather, clothing, jewelry and handicrafts, not to forget the sweets with 100s of bees on them. Haggling is the name of the game, just remember to keep a firm hand on your phone and wallet.
During my weekend visit to Tehachapi Pass the weekend of 1/11/1997, I started seeing the beginning of the end for Santa Fe power. There was green BN and a few BNSF Heritage I units mixed in with war bonnets and classic Santa Fe blue and yellow. But there were also a few solid Santa Fe lashups to enjoy. Here is solid blue and yellow lashup on an S-RICH with a standard cab GP60 in the lead. It had crested the Summit a few miles back and is cruising down the 50mph section between Tehachapi and Warren. I was hoping for a chance at a little more white stuff but this was about the most that I saw.
An eastbound Santa Fe manifest, led by a GP30 and a half-dozen GP35’s, passes two Southern Pacific SD9’s on a work train at Cliff. Caliente is visible over the cab of the lead unit. All of the GP30’s and GP35’s running on the Santa Fe at that time took me back to my days watching the Reading Company a decade earlier. Those two models were the backbone of the Reading’s second-generation road power. I checked an old calendar, and this was taken on a Thursday.
Santa Fe FP45 #104 in "Super Fleet" colors trails on a light engine consist at San Bernardino in October of 1989.
On a warm (for winter) sunny evening out in Waterman, IL, a former Santa Fe SD40 cruises west with the 476 job. Seen here passing the DeLong Co. grain facility.
BNSF 3167 leads 427's return trip from Rock Island to Barstow, pausing at the IAIS yard to pickup interchange.

Buscaré el sol junto a la nieve,
y la vida al lado del agua
que corre lenta y alegre
disfrutando su pasar.
Te buscaré entre las aguas,
y cerraré mis oÃdos
a ninfas que emergen
queriendo ocultarme
mayores consuelos
que sólo el cielo
me puede entregar.
No dejes que pierda
la fe en el camino,
que ha de llevarme
a gozar otros mares
y sentir la aventura
de ver a una diosa
asir en sus manos,
al par de las mÃas,
el recio velamen
que me ha de llevar
a mares ignotos,
siempre en la ruta
hacia donde he de remar.

ONCF EMD GT26CW-2 is hauling the early passanger connection between Taza and Fes. The train is just about to enter the tunnel under the city of Fes shortly before sunrise.
Santa Fe SD40-2 #5059 leads four Burlington Northern engines on a Southbound loaded coal train with WFAX cars.in February of 1990.
This was taken at Husted which is located between Monument and Academy sidings on the Joint Line South of Denver.
A Santa Fe pig train lead by GP50 3839 is approaching the SP diamond at Colton. Soon they will be in San Bernardino the base of Cajon Pass.
Guardar la fe en un cajón
no es recurso para el hombre
que quiere vivir y ser.
No es cuestión de religión
creer y saber ser,
aunque alguno asà piense.
Quien cree puede comprender
y comprendiendo entiende
que no hay razón que no lea
con los ojos de la fe,
y ponga razón y fe
en una misma balanza
pues hay que saber creer
y con ello comprender
que en la vida quien no cree
le falta algo a su esencia
para poder entender
que todos los pueblos conviven
con la razón y la fe.
"Cree para comprender y comprende para creer". San AgustÃn.
