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 Grade I Listed St Edmundsbury Cathedral, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, East Anglia.
A church has stood on the site of the cathedral since at least 1065, when St Denis's Church was built within the precincts of Bury St Edmunds Abbey. In the early 12th century the Abbot, Anselm had wanted to make a pilgrimage along the Way of St James to Santiago de Compostela. He was unsuccessful and instead rebuilt St Denis's and dedicated the new church to Saint James, which served as the parish church for the north side of Bury St Edmunds.
This church was largely rebuilt, starting in 1503, with more alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries. When the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich was created in 1914, St James Church was made the cathedral. In 1959 Benjamin Britten wrote the Fanfare for St Edmundsbury for a "Pageant of Magna Carta" held in the cathedral grounds.
From 1960 onwards, there was renewed building work designed to transform the parish church into a cathedral building, with the rebuilding of the chancel and the creation of transepts and side chapels. The cathedral architect from 1943 to 1988 was Stephen Dykes Bower and he left £2 million for the completion of the cathedral. In the cathedral grounds a new choir school and visitor's centre were built which were opened in 1990. A Gothic revival tower was built between 2000 and 2005.
The font was designed in 1870 by George Gilbert Scott, constructed on a medieval shaft, with a cover by F. E. Howard of Oxford. The decoration was added in 1960.
In addition to guided tours of the cathedral itself, visitors can view changing exhibits of art in the Edmund Gallery, and an exhibit of historic and religious regalia and artefacts in the Cathedral Treasures display. The painting "The Martyrdom of St Edmund" by Brian Whelan hangs in the Lady Chapel.
wanted to scraplift an idea of using paint and glitter...turned out really nice...loving the page and my new gold heidi spray too. So many school pages to do...kinda tired of school paper.
sad there is only one more day :(
WEEK 33 – Toys “R” Us Outlet, Southaven
Moving further into the salesfloor now, here's a look at the middle portion of the store. For the most part, this store can be divided into three parts: the front, the middle, and the back. “DUH!!,” I'm sure you're all screaming at your computer screens right about now XD But my point in saying that is so that I can distinguish each portion from the others – for instance, the front of the store had mainly short quad displays holding special or seasonal merchandise; the middle of the store here featured a blend of half-height and full-height shelves, as the store transitioned into a more permanent layout; and the back of the store was exclusively full-height shelves. This gradation made for nice sightlines.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
Downtown Denver, Colorado.
We spent a couple of hours walking around before having to catch our flight home... which was delayed of course.
If you guys have some suggestions, you're welcome to say it. :) (except for removing the guy in the background lol)
After sneaking through the Spoon River Valley KJRYs westbound road train begins its climb back up out of the valley. Unfortunately the trees hide a lot of the interesting winding the line does just south of Marietta, Illinois.
All aboard, top of the line! We followed the early Union Pacific Railroad from Cheyenne west, up the mountains toward Laramie and arrived at the round house and station atop Shermen Hill before the descent. The UP encountered plenty of obstacles over the top. The new whistle stop looked pretty rustic in 1869s. There were several wood buildings and I theorize they stocked a lot of materials atop Sherman for the push down to Utah. Little remains at Sherman after UP drove the twin tunnels and relocated the up and down lines over the summit. Steam engines required continual repair and maintenance in round houses.
The Ames pyramidal monument is 800 feet south of the turntable pivot block in this view. Search Ames Monument to zero in on the location. The grey tracing, Iron House RD., designates the original grade. I don't know if the fondation to the left was the depot.
The Saluda Grade is the steepest standard-gauge mainline railway in the USA and opened in July 1878. The three mile railway grade ranged from 3.7%- 4.7%.
The railway line was constructed to connect Spartanburg, South Carolina, Asheville and North Carolina through the Blue Ridge Mountains. It has been out of service since 2001.
Since 2001 the vibrant green vegetation around the railway has started to rapidly grow over the tracks and in some sections completely engulfed the railway. Beneath some of the railway it has been heavily eroded, which has caused many railway ties to become detached from the railway lines.
