KCS 4006 finally made its way through Windsor completing what seemed to be a tour of CP's Canadian network. After being laid up in Toronto for a few days with mechanical issues, many railfans in Southwestern Ontario eagerly awaited its departure for Chicago. Unlucky for people east of London, lucky for us in Windsor it departed on the late night 141 from Toronto instead of 147 which allowed it to be in daylight west of London. It was dead-in-tow on its way back to home rails for needed repairs that couldn't be done in Toronto. 4006 is a unique unit commemorating US veterans and was most likely an eye opener to the general public at crossings.
Train: KCS 4006 (SD70ACe).
CP Windsor Subdivision
Windsor, ON.
016/365.
Another simple one I know, but I couldn't resist using a photo of this as a 365! John and I were on the bus into the main square of Sorrento, and went past a huge valley right next to a main road. When we looked down, we saw there was a building, so had to go back and take a look once we were off the bus. I think this was an abandoned mill of some sort. Of course I'd have loved to go in it but I decided it wasn't a great idea to get arrested in a foreign country...
This was shot in Chicago with 9 exposures HDR in the late afternoon around 6 PM, just as the clouds were starting to change color for the evening.

What a unique vehicle! I'd never seen anything like it. In the earlier days of modern invention there were lots of ideas about how to do things. This was one of them.
Like most of the vehicles at this museum, it runs. Here a video of it.

October 2, 2021 - Went to Jeff Lane Motor Museum in Nashvile, Tennessee. This place is fantastic! Over 500 vehicles. I've been to one of the best car museums in the U.S., Petersen Auto Museum in L.A. but this one is right up there with it. Specializes in foreign cars and unique vehicles. Half of these I'd never seen or heard of. Well worth going to.
LUXOR-Habu TempleLuxor -Ramses III:s
Tempel-Medinet Habu
The temple, some 150 m long, is of orthodox design, and resembles closely the nearby mortuary temple of Ramesses II (the Ramesseum). The temple precinct measures approximately 700 ft (210 m). by 1,000 ft (300 m) and contains more than 75,350 sq ft (7,000 m2) of decorated wall reliefs.[1] Its walls are relatively well preserved and it is surrounded by a massive mudbrick enclosure, which may have been fortified. The original entrance is through a fortified gate-house, known as a migdol (a common architectural feature of Asiatic fortresses of the time).
Just inside the enclosure, to the south, are chapels of Amenirdis I, Shepenupet II and Nitiqret, all of whom had the title of Divine Adoratrice of Amun.
The first pylon leads into an open courtyard, lined with colossal statues of Ramesses III as Osiris on one side, and uncarved columns on the other. The second pylon leads into a peristyle hall, again featuring columns in the shape of Ramesses. This leads up a ramp that leads (through a columned portico) to the third pylon and then into the large hypostyle hall (which has lost its roof). Reliefs and actual heads of foreign captives were also found placed within the temple perhaps in an attempt to symbolise the king's control over Syria and Nubia.
In Coptic times, there was a church inside the temple structure, which has since been removed. Some of the carvings in the main wall of the temple have been altered by coptic carvings.
Even though the day was mostly cloudy, the colors of the two locomotives on the train greatly stood out.
Here, BNSF 5194 and KCS 4197 leads a Canadian Pacific freight from Bensenville IL as it passes by the Schaumburg station.
For a first, I chased this train from Bensenville to Schaumburg via Illinois 390/Thorndale Ave and overall, it worked pretty well.
QGRY 6904 is leading SLR 394 which is putting its train together at right as CN 543 with borrowed NS power (NS 3660, NS 4039 & NS 7295) makes a move at CN's Southwark Yard on a snowy afternoon.
A446 crosses the Fox River at Burlington southbound. A44681-11 train details: BNSF SD70ACe 9229, CSXT ES44AC 783; 89 loads and 29 empties; 11,932 tons, 7,069 feet. The signal protects the switch at the south end of the Nestle siding.

Power from just about any Class I can often be seen on the easternmost end of UP's Geneva Sub, as run-through traffic from foreign roads makes its way towards Proviso Yard. Here at Austin Avenue, (the boundary between Chicago and Oak Park in this area) a BNSF Dash-9 on the point of an NS freight sits while the evening Metra rush is underway. Visible in the far distance is the sparkling Chicago skyline and an approaching CTA Green Line train.
CSX 3396 pulls a medium-sized CP 250 down the Hinckley Subdivision on this nasty spring-like morning. The sun was playing that one game where it says 'hi' a few minutes before the train makes its appearance, goes away for the entire train and comes back right after :)
Honestly I'd rather had the CP 2292 lead instead.

NS 11V rounds the curve in Derry with the MP 307 signal in the background. This train had one heck of a consist! BNSF and CN power trailed on this colorful train!
KCS 4855 sits at North Dexter getting a crew change as CN 3035 passes beside it, acting as one of the DPUs for the ONUCS-01.
A British built, Spanish registered car in Belgium. It's always nice to see a foreign registered Rover abroad. This one looked in good condition.
I ended my day at Dolton, IL for this petcoke train led by a UP GE and EMD on the IHB heading west.

Our Daily Challenge: Imported - Foreign - or Exotic
America, founded on wonderful principles, has a history of oppressing minorities. Our forefathers came to this world and oppressed the native Americans, and throughout our history we have done it time and time again. What makes America great is not embracing hatred but in the diverse peoples that have come together to make this great country. We are a melting pot, not a milky sea of hate. I am afraid of the direction this country is going once again. Can we not learn from our history?
Thank you so much for your views, comments and favs. I really do appreciate every one!

UP 7216 heads west on the BNSF Marceline Sub. with the Union Pacific intermodal train operating on BNSF as F-IG4TU01 25. Currently swinging the curve into Rutledge, Mo. with some nice fall color accents.
It was a nice surprise to see a former Southern Pacific GE in the consist as well. There can't be more than 10 GE's still in the SP paint roaming the system.
I'm not sure how to start this off...My dude Jurne so graciously blessed me with a couple of outlines which I Frankenstein into the piece you are now viewing. I'm not sure if this is how the needle exchange program works but it sure was hella fun....I hope I did you right.
This piece reminds me of this song.....

Motor vessels of different variants of the "Nevsky" type (Pr. R-32, R-32A, R-32BU and R-32K) are the big dry-cargo ships with open bilge or hold compartment with hatch covers, with double boards and double bottom. Seria is named after place of birth or main working area - Neva river there the Nevsky shipbuilding and ship-repair plant is situated. There are two main versions: with high superstructure in the stern part or with low deckhouse in the bow (for easy navigation under low bridges of Neva River). The last modification (pr. R-32K) are equipped with raising deckhouse in the bow. The superstructure on the ships of the initial project is low, with two squat chimneys, on the vessels of Project P-32A are high with one chimney. Modified ships (Pr. R-32BU) have increased power of machines, greater length of hull and tonnage, ice reinforcement of the hull. Several vessels received a closed hold, adapted for transportation of containers, including those on hatch covers.
Totally 40 vessels of "Nevsky" type have been built since 1973 till 1994. Construction was executed by Nevsky vesselbuilding and vessel-repair plant (Russia, Shlisselburg). Initially they were delivered to North-Western Shipping Company for operation mainly on the Neva river, Ladoga and Onega lakes and in the Gulf of Finland of the Baltic Sea. Two vessels were built for work on the Dnepr. In the 90's, several vessels from the North-West Vesselping Company were sold to foreign companies, and others were bought for work on the Volga.

In the early Fifties, odd little cars began to show up on car lots across North America. Many had been brought to the continent by returning service men and the sports car movement was born.
The slightly scruffy, rambling village of Patara (Gelemiş) attracts an interesting mix of Turkish and foreign eccentrics. Its ruins come with a bonus in the form of a wonderful white-sand beach some 50m wide and 20km long. While there are plenty of pensions and a few midrange hotels, traditional village life still goes on here. Transport can be irregular, so hopefully this means it will stay the way it is.
