As seen from the rear of a Kimball-bound Brown Line 'L' train, a 1970s-built interlocking tower oversees the CTA action at Clark Junction in Chicago's bustling Lakeview neighborhood. The steelwork to the left supported the small Clark Street station until a 1948 service change that eliminated dozens of minor 'L' stops across the system. The original Clark Junction interlocking tower was integrated with the former station, and was closed in 1976.
After Tower 18 on the Loop Elevated downtown, Clark Junction is the busiest interlocking on the CTA rail system. During rush periods, northbound track 3 at the junction sees over 40 trains an hour, split about evenly between Red and Brown Line movements. Quoting from chicago-l.org: "to put this in proper context, there is a comparable short section at Aldgate North Junction, one of the busiest on the London Underground, that sees 30 trains an hour." In 2002, 876 trains passed through Clark Junction every weekday, and that number has only increased in recent years. There are plans to ease congestion here with a flyover replacing the flat junction, but the scheme is controversial because it would require demolition of several adjacent buildings in what has become a very busy and fashionable neighborhood.

View over the City of London from St Pauls Cathedral.
St Paul's Cathedral, London, is a Church of England cathedral and seat of the Bishop of London. Its dedication to Paul the Apostle dates back to the original church on this site, founded in AD 604.
The present church dating from the late 17th century was built to an English Baroque design of Sir Christopher Wren, as part of a major rebuilding program which took place in the city after the Great Fire of London.
I'm assuming this notice from last weekend from the Germantown Kroger was referring to something computer/ network, and/or software related. It just so happens this will likely be applying to myself as well, as I woke up to the sound of my PC making noises that were none too pretty! I suspect the fan on the power supply is going out, and it could take several days before I can get a new one to replace it. In the meantime, unloading and other Flickr activity will likely be more sporadic. Thanks in advance for your patience in this matter!

The parts for these do stand about half a plate above the rail, but there are no clearance issues for trains using LEGO's train motor.

I ran downtown when I saw the storm coming to and end near sunset. I didn't know where to go and the light fading quick, I took a few shots of the unique lighting around the levee.

I'm not really a fan of rails and trains, but a lot of Japanese are.
While I was in the museum, they were actually talking about the horsepower like these are some sort of Ferraris.
That's passion, I'd say.
