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.

The steeply graded single branch line that re-opened in 2008 climbs 200m in the last 6km section to Cwmbargoed, which can clearly be seen in this shot.

The Roger Stevens Building, 1970, by Chamberlin, Powell and Bon for Leeds University South Campus is designated at Grade II* for the following principal reasons: * Designers: the architectural practice of Chamberlin, Powell and Bon is recognised as significant for their work at Golden Lane and the Barbican in London, and New Hall, Cambridge, and the Roger Stevens Building represents the high point of their Leeds University work * Architecture: the building is an outstanding and individual design with bold external shapes and carefully designed interiors * Planning: the internal spaces are the result of extensive research on the requirements of the university and introduce innovative and influential features such as individual doors into the lecture theatres, and external links intimately with other buildings on the campus by means of multi-level walkways * Intactness: despite the changing requirements of universities, the building has remained largely unchanged, proving the success of its design * Group Value: the building provides a fitting centrepiece to the group of university buildings on the South Campus at Leeds, also recommended for designation
I'm not normally the complaining type, especially about things that are mostly trivial, but this is absurd.
So I got my sorting done, and for the first time in a long while almost my entire collection is properly sorted. Which makes it easier to notice trends in my pieces. "I'm really low on upwards-facing L-brackets" "For some reason I have an asymmetrical number of wedge plates" "I have way too many mixel joints" "All but two of my white 1x1 cheese slopes have hairline fractures in them" "Wait, what?" Yeah, that took me by surprise. I know a couple of them were broken, but i didn't think it was the overwhelming majority. I decided to check and sure enough the 4 on Candy's face are all fractured too.
These pieces are all a couple of years old, so that might be why. Hopefully this issue has been addressed, because I'm gonna have to buy some new ones, apparently.

A grader goes by my driveway pushing snow to the middle of the road . The blower and dump trucks come by after and pick up the snow. Wednesday January 24 2024.
- www.kevin-palmer.com - The sun casts shadows on a switchback along Red Grade Road. This steep road is closed to cars in the winter and becomes a popular, snowmobile, ski, and snowshoe trail.
The construction site next door is getting a new parking lot.

- www.kevin-palmer.com - After the snow storm ended on Saturday I went snowshoeing up Red Grade Road. Rime ice was sticking to all the trees.
I have a load of many, many more edits to make from my two eDDie treks but I want to edit and post more of my Switzerland Trail trek during this autumn's aspen color.
I snapped more shots after rounding the curve above Lefthand Canyon but all these curves are above the highway. I captured this shot across another gully beyond the spot where I left off last year where the view opened again after my recent posts. The grade across the gully shown, is on the way to Brainerd's Curve and road down to Brainerd's Mill on LeftHand Road to Ward. This is a colorful spot along the continuing Switzerland Trail narrow gauge railroad grade. Along the grade here, the grade scenery is typical until the view opens up to views beyond.
It's easy to see how much rock was pushed aside from the grade where I am standing at the bottom of the scene. At least the rock shores up the old grade turned back country road. The rock looks like that shown in my recent (four back) Rock ledge shot. Boy, this 1/20/th of a second exposure should be far shakier.
I have to learn to heavily study Weather Underground for current and upcoming weather conditions later in the day. I looked out the window and I saw a possibility of clearing to mixed clouds and blue. The fact is there are a few days open for shooting the best color up here and the Zinky-Dink crowd are promoting dig-and-burn to mix up the atmosphere. In any case, this is my shot. I made another foray up LeftHand Road a day or two later for more color. Unedited shots sit in another work directory.
This autumn snap along the Switzerland Trail to Ward, shows the railroad grade ahead. I trekked above Gold Hill, Colorado and veered along the railroad grade cut with aspirations of reaching the mountain-bound mining camp of Ward as its first true mountain mining town. This day started as a foray into the hills to search for aspen cloaked in showy fall coats. I thought Google maps showed more aspen on this side of the ridge. The color was generally at peak on that day but it may not look like it while along this old grade turned rough road. This is the narrow gauge railroad grade on the northern, Ward branch, west and north from Gold Hill Station atop the ridge. Sunset, Colorado was at the bottom of the ridge in the canyon left of me and was the division point on the Denver, Boulder & Western RR. You'll need your rock tires on if you plan on driving this track; it's been better and mostly smooth as a railroad. Well except when the snow avalanche slid the entire train down the mountainside above here. I chose the reliability of walking; I wanted a quiet stroll. It must have been a highly sought trip when the viewpoint would have been 10 feet higher while in a rocking passenger car. The original grading on the railroad named The Greeley, Salt Lake and Pacific RR around the 1885 date made it west to Sunset. The Pacific was impossible. After reorganization, it was routed northwest to Ward and southwest to Eldora, Colorado from the Sunset division point. In the distance, the grade ducks to eventually swing left around the wooded hill.
