Following on from the Test Train image at Hellifield, here is a view looking south from the platforms at the northern end of the Station. The weeds have taken grip, and despite Network Rail spending half a million on the Grade II listed station building in 2013, obviously the budget didn't extend to the platform curtilage.

Teaching is great, but grading, not so much. Today's grading challenge is getting through a stack of midterms. Not sure that I'm going to make it.

In the first grade, a boy named Gary Lynn liked me. He spend a dollar on this card for me. Absolutely extravagant in 1960. I nicknamed him affectionately as Lynnie, and it stuck for life with everyone. ODC: first

Happy Window Wednesday!
Finally forced myself to cover LEGO PF motors with some greebling. The black battery awaits a sticker (and so does the door) but other than that - this part of the model is finished.
What I need now are the new, long and expensive linear actuators to finish the backhoe arm.
That's a stark contrast between the grades of the original 1868/69 alignment in the foreground and the steeper but straighter alignment of the Harriman era. Both tracks meet again at Emory in Echo Canyon

Hello to my 4th grade friends in America...;-)
Abandoned Abused Street Dogs.
Back Story .....................................
You've all heard me mention, "no drama" today on the roads
while traveling out to the monkey temple.
Well to verify why I mention this, yesterday Thailand was awarded
second place for the most dangerous roads in the World !!!
First place went to war torn Libya as the most dangerous roads !
With that being said lets move on to the next topic of conversation.
Mr Apollo passed away Monday night, this is one of the reasons I was busy. Did a private and very personal funeral service for him. He was laid to rest on a special monks robe in a quite spot near the Kind Monks Place. I washed his body with scented oils then placed colorful orchids around him.
Incense sticks were lit, soft chanting took place to help guide his soul towards a better place on his journey .
R.I.P. Mr Apollo .
Arrived at The Dog Palace 10 minutes after 6AM this morning.
Mama and I did our usual greeting before heading into the bingo room where her breakfast was laid out for her.
Actually had to put her food outside and we'll get back to that.
Next we zipped on up to the roof where the new dog and Mama had big fun chasing monkeys and playing with each other .
Next over to The Nuns Place where Rocky, Anna, Tinker Bell and Little Stubby were given their fare share of attention.
Soon Honey and Tuff Guy were also being fed and inspected for any new dings or divots.
Now at this point we are going to back up and talk about a small problem.
An old plastic water line had ruptured in the bingo room and left a 1/2 inch of water on the floor.
Water line has been turned off and extra parts have been purchased for a simple repair tomorrow or the next day.
The way I see it this was a good way to wash the floor without having to carry in buckets of water. Plus I already have an old mop there so it's no big deal ...;-)
Thanks for stopping by and please remember there is only 10 days left to achieve our goal in the gofundme contest .

An eastbound Scoot charges up the hill at Mill Neck Curve, braving the wintry conditions. The trees are white with snow on this gorgeous afternoon.
Pulling the grade out of Creston,IL is UP 8196 east, a new ES44AC with a heavy stack load from Global III to West Chicago.
47826 crosses the River Dee approaching Hawarden Bridge station with the Branch Line Society Railtour The Ruby Valentine. The tour was welcomed to the station by a party of cyclists who had stopped wondering why all these people were at the station. Sadly the railtour derailed just around the corner, in Dee Marsh Sidings, curtailing the trip round part of the Merseyrail network.
Chenies Palace in the parish of Chenies in Buckinghamshire, England, is a Tudor Grade I listed building[1] once known as Chenies Manor House, although it was never a royal seat nor the seat of a bishop. It was held by the Cheney family since 1180 and passed by marriage successively to the Semark and Sapcote families and thence in 1526 to the Russell family,[2] Earls of Bedford, later Dukes of Bedford, by whom it was held for several centuries. Although the Russells soon abandoned Chenies as its main seat in favour of Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire, Chenies parish church remains the site of the private "Bedford Chapel", the mausoleum still in use by that family.[3]
John Russell, 1st Earl of Bedford set about improving the house both as his home and enlarging it to the size and standard needed to house the royal court, so he could host visits from the king. The house was probably constructed by him around 1530–1550, while the significantly larger north range, which included the royal apartments, has been demolished. Russell had a meteoric career as an advisor to successive monarchs, becoming wealthy and titled and acquiring other properties. By about 1608 Woburn Abbey had become the principal family residence. Thereafter Chenies became increasingly neglected; the surviving buildings are the ones which were still considered practical.
At the northern end of the west wing, there is an undercroft from the previous medieval manor house which occupied the same site, which is a scheduled ancient monument. wikipedia
You might not know it by name, but Sand Patch Grade is a well-known spot to photograph trains.
This is one of my favorite slides in my collection. As a kid I thought the Chessie System logos and colors were the coolest thing, ever. This image, taken by David Leonard, perfectly frames the colors of the Chessie, and those turbo V-16's working hard on the 2% grade that is the Allegheny Mountains in Pennsylvania.
This is a hi-res drum scan of a 35mm Kodachrome 64 slide, photographed in Mance, PA on October 28, 1978.
