With steam to spare and a healthy-looking load of coal in the tender, 46100 'Royal Scot' rolls into Beattock up passenger loop heading the 1Z64 10:37 Edinburgh Waverley-Carlisle S.R.P.S. charter on Bank Holiday Monday 29 August 2016. The surviving infrastructure at this once important 'banking station' and loco depot site is remarkable.

To the best of my knowledge, the last wig wag in service on the Shasta Route protected KLAD Crossing. This grade crossing lies between Texum siding and Bieber Line Junction just south of Klamath Falls, Oregon. The white structure behind the stop sign was originally an administrative office building for the lumber mill on the site. After the plant closed for the final time, the administrative building was converted for use by radio station KLAD, which gave the crossing its unofficial name.
Although the radio station has since moved on, the crossing retains its unofficial name to this day. Not long after this Kodachrome was exposed, the Magnetic Flagman was retired by Union Pacific.
Bijna elke nacht wordt er aan de lijn Zwolle-Wierden gewerkt om de lijn te elektrificeren. Hierdoor komt er ook eens een andere diesel op het station van Nijverdal. Aan het begin van februari zijn ze begonnen met het plaatsten van de portalen.
De avond van 4 februari ben ik naar Nijverdal gefietst en daar, na ruim twee en een half uur wachten bij het laatst geplaatste portaal tussen Wierden en Nijverdal, kwam dan eindelijk de VolkerRail 203-2 langs met de ombouwtrein. Tot mijn verbazing reden ze eerst door naar het station van Nijverdal om daar dan kop te maken en dan in de richting van Wierden te gaan werken. Na passage ben ik dus keihard naar het station gefietst, aldaar was ik net op tijd aangekomen op de plek om dit plaatje te kunnen maken. Na een paar minuten vertrokken ze rond de klok van 0:00 weer vanaf het station van Nijverdal om tussen hier en Wierden de portalen te gaan plaatsen.
This was taken about an hour before game time at a game in which the San Diego Padres humiliated the Dodgers (two days before the famous 4+1 home run game!) At least I had fun taking pictures. We like to sit on the Top Deck at Dodger Stadium where the seats are cheap ($6), the fans are for the most part well behaved, and it's not impossible to get a seat in the section behind home plate. The view is wonderful. The field is laid out in front of you so that you can study the game, noting things like the positions of the fielders for various batters. The steep walk down to your seats can be unnerving, so if you have any fear of heights, get seats on the lower levels. Also, it takes a while to realize that every flyball in not a homerun.
This is my first attempt at HDR. To create this shot I took three exposure bracketed shots propping my arm on the armrest to steady the camera. The pictures were combined and tone-mapped in Photomatix.
Las 269.091 y 269.093 continúan con el TECo de CLA su viaje hacia Sevilla, tras realizar una parada de varias horas en la clasificación de mercancías de Vicálvaro.
The Windy City is such an adventurous place to shoot after dark. I'm sure I have hardly scratched the surface of what this place has to offer. I'll keep scratching though.
Christian Radich is a Norwegian full-rigged ship, named after a Norwegian shipowner. The vessel was built at Framnæs shipyard in Sandefjord, Norway, and was delivered on 17 June 1937. The owner was The Christian Radich Sail Training Foundation established by a grant from an officer of that name.[1]
The vessel is a full-rigged three-masted (fr) steel hull, 62.5 m long, with an overall length of 73 m including the bowsprit and a maximum width of 9.7 m. She has a draught of about 4.7 meters and a displacement at full load of 1050 tons. Under engine power, the Christian Radich reaches a top speed of 10 knots, while she can make up to 14 knots under sail.[2]
The crew is 18 altogether. It can accommodate 88 passengers. The Christian Radich is well known through the international release in 1958 of the Cinemiracle widescreen movie Windjammer. The Christian Radich sailed to the United States in 1976 as part of the Bicentennial Celebration, and partook in the Operation Sail parade in New York Harbor on 4 July 1976. The ship also appeared as herself in the 1970s BBC TV series The Onedin Line, as one of James Onedin's ships.[citation needed]
The vessel was built for training sailors for the Norwegian merchant navy, and did so for many years. From 1999 and on, the ship has been on the charter market as well as sailing with paying trainees to foreign ports on summer trips, participating in the Cutty Sark Tall Ships' Race and large sail events in various European ports. She won on corrected time in Class A and overall the tall ship in total in 2007, and became the only class A vessel that crossed the finish line.[citation needed]

Il mistero di quella parte di città
che scende ripida verso i cantieri,
ora che non ci sono più cantieri
ma solo qualche scafo imbalsamato
e palazzoni popolari in declivio
che si accendono ai tramonti d'ottobre
non potrò salire le scale
per ascoltare di là dalle porte
le donne e i bambini sbadigliare
e i raggi dell'ultimo sole
tra i quaderni incantati e una minestra
era così e poi una piccola luna
era il segno di domani per i padri
e anche un sogno breve all'osteria
carezzando il mare laggiù in fondo.
Cartolina di Trieste? Ma sì, forse.
Eppure se dal porto una sirena
lunga e triste mi raggiunge la notte
mi accorgo che essere felice
si riduce, in fondo, a poche cose.
