A scene from the not-too-distant past at the north end of Wellingborough station on the Midland Main Line. Semaphore signalling and manual signal boxes still prevailed on the line north of Bedford, as did locomotive haulage. The line had been the preserve of the Class 45 Peaks since their introduction in 1961, but Class 47s would also appear. This unidentified example arriving on a St. Pancras-bound express sports a silver-painted cab roof, at the time a hallmark of Class 47s allocated to Stratford Depot (SF) on the BR Eastern Region.
HST sets appeared on the Midland Main Line from 1982, prompting the upgrading of the line’s signalling. Wellingborough’s old Midland Railway signalbox was saved for posterity, subsequently being re-erected at the Midland Railway Centre at Butterley.

This is a view looking towards London from the overbridge, Between 1974 - 76, i use to use Brockenhurst Station daily as i did my A levels at Brockenhurst College.
This view always reminds me of a model railway with the two island platforms and the level crossing in the distance.
You will have to pardon the lack of trains in my photos, the locations bring back great memories and to a certain degree without the modern rolling stock, which i loath, the pictures somehow look older than with trains in view.
The M-27 Dzhubga-Sochi federal highway, Adler-Veseloe section. The road will lead to the border with Abkhazia and the Adler-Veseloe population centre/development. Construction of sections with 4 junctions, totaling 8 km is underway. Commissioning of the venues will considerably improve the transport infrastructure of Sochi and increase the capacity of the Dzhubga-Sochi federal highway

Deganwy is a small town in Conwy County Borough in Wales with a population of 3,700. It lies in the Creuddyn Peninsula alongside Llandudno and Rhos-on-Sea. Historically part of Caernarfonshire, it is in a more English-speaking region of north Wales, with only 1 in 4 residents speaking Welsh as a first language. It is located south of Llandudno and to the east of Conwy, which is on the opposite side of the River Conwy, and with which it forms the Conwy community. Indeed, the name Deganwy has been interpreted in modern times as Din-Gonwy, which would mean "Fort on the River Conwy", but the historical spellings make it impossible for this to be the actual origin of the name although mentioned in Domesday Book is "the territory of the Decanae tribe". The original wooden castle was rebuilt in stone after 1210. Deganwy is in the ecclesiastical parish of Llanrhos, and has a Victorian era Gothic parish church dedicated to All Saints.
Deganwy has one bilingual primary school, Ysgol Deganwy.

WSDOT has marked a major milestone in its effort to replace the aging and vulnerable State Route 520 floating bridge. After 13 years of thorough analysis and input from thousands of people, the state has announced a preferred alternative for the I-5 to Medina: Bridge Replacement and HOV Project.
Major safety, transit and environmental improvements are in store for the SR 520 corridor from I-5 in Seattle across Lake Washington to Medina. The SR 520 preferred alternative takes key steps to get ready for future light rail, help manage traffic in the Arboretum and transform the future highway with a landscaped lid and median for a parkway experience.
The new floating bridge and highway will have six lanes, including two general-purpose lanes and a new transit/HOV lane in each direction. Adding transit/HOV lanes makes travel in the corridor faster and more reliable for buses and carpools and supports regional plans for completing the HOV system to reduce the number of single-occupancy vehicles.
Details are on our website, including images of what a new, larger landscaped lid at Montlake Boulevard would look like. The preferred SR 520 alternative directly responds to input we received from the public, the City of Seattle, the University of Washington and environmental regulatory agencies. Work continues on design refinements for the Montlake area with those groups as well as transit agencies.
Highlights include:
Room for future light rail: The bridge deck will accommodate future light rail trains and the west end of the floating bridge will have room for trains to leave the corridor and head to the University of Washington area. Pontoons could be added to the floating bridge in the future to carry the weight of the trains.
Less traffic in the Arboretum: The project removes the ramps that currently carry traffic directly to Lake Washington Boulevard and the Washington Park Arboretum. Westbound off-ramps instead will carry buses and general purpose traffic to 24th Avenue E. and continue on to Montlake Boulevard.
Buses and a lid at Montlake: New direct-access ramps will carry buses to a new landscaped park lid at the Montlake Boulevard interchange. The open space will extend from Montlake Boulevard into the Arboretum.
Parkway on Portage Bay: A slimmed-down Portage Bay Bridge will be built as a 45-mph landscaped parkway with a 6-foot-wide planted median. The 105-foot-wide bridge is narrower than the 154 feet previously planned in the 2006 draft environmental impact statement.
Identifying a preferred design keeps us on track for opening a new bridge to traffic in 2014.

SR 520 - I-5 to Medina: Bridge Replacement and HOV Project
Status
February 2011
ESSB 6392 reports now available
We've sent two final reports to the governor and state legislators (High Capacity Transit Planning and Financing and the Washington Park Arboretum Mitigation Plan). This completes the requirements of Senate Bill 6392.
Floating bridge construction
Three teams have until spring to submit their bids and proposals for the new SR 520 floating bridge. Construction starts in 2012 and the bridge opens in 2014.
Overview
The I-5 to Medina: Bridge Replacement and HOV Project will replace the interchanges and roadway between I-5 in Seattle and the eastern end of the floating bridge.
Why is WSDOT pursuing this project?
About 115,000 vehicles and more than 190,000 people cross Lake Washington every day on the SR 520 floating bridge. It’s a key regional route for commuters and freight.
After floating for nearly 50 years, the four-lane bridge is often clogged by traffic and is showing its age.
The floating bridge pontoons are vulnerable to windstorms, and bridge support columns are vulnerable to earthquakes.
The End Result
The I-5 to Medina Bridge Replacement and HOV Project includes a new floating bridge and highway with six lanes, including two general-purpose lanes and one new transit/HOV lane in each direction.
The project also takes key steps to get ready for future light rail, help manage traffic in the Arboretum and transform the future corridor from Montlake to I-5 into a city parkway with landscaped lids and medians.
Project Benefits
The new SR 520 corridor through Seattle will:
Provide transit connections and priority.
Create a pedestrian-friendly urban interchange at Montlake Boulevard.
Restore park area and connections next to the Washington Park Arboretum.
Reduce noise levels from the Portage Bay Bridge.
Be ready for light rail if the region chooses to fund it in the future.
What is the project timeline?
Spring 2011: Publish final environmental impact statement
Mid-2011: Select contractor team for new SR 520 floating bridge
2012: Begin construction of floating bridge
2014: Open new floating bridge to drivers
The schedule for constructing the segments of the corridor west of Lake Washington is pending additional funding.
Financial Information
We are moving forward with construction on a new SR 520 floating bridge, which is fully funded by a variety of state and federal sources, including SR 520 tolling that is set to begin in spring 2011.
We are continuining to work with the Legislature to fund the elements of the project from I-5 to the floating bridge.

Rogue River Bridge, Gold Beach, Oregon.
In the 1920s and 1930s, Conde B. McCullough was the state bridge engineer in Oregon at a time when highway infrastructure was rapidly expanding. His most distinctive style is evidenced in his elegant concrete arch bridges. The Rogue River Bridge was the first of six major Oregon Coast bridges. It was competed in 1931, stretching 1,898 feet across the mouth of the Rogue River. Its seven open-spandrel arches each span 230 feet.
So I've been looking for this opportunity for a while however my schedule did not fit the time of day for the right shadow. Finally after starting my work in a new location and modified schedule it lined up with a chance to see this fun shadow cast on the tanks. Several months ago I saw several similar examples of this from Joe Chan on Flickr making this tank shadow thing more of a desire. I've drove past these tanks daily for ten years now they are the subjects for some of my recent images. These tanks are the Kinder Morgan infrastructure that is part of the pipeline from SF bay area to Sacramento. The fuel line traverses north from here and under the American River. Stay tuned for some more compositions regarding this subject.

The expansion of the A10 in Amsterdam East is part of a huge infrastructural project to improve the road connection between Schiphol, Amsterdam and Almere. This includes the A9, A10 (East), A1 and A6 highways. The A1 is a highway which has roughly 2x3 to 2x4 lanes plus 1 to 2 reversible lanes for rush hours. In the year 2020 the A1 will have 2x5 lanes plus 2 reversible lanes for rush hours (wisselstrook). In 2013 the preparatory works started which can be seen here next to the exit 3 ("Muiden | Weesp"). This means the shifting of cables and pipes and installing pipelines for the supply of sand. But also some pylons for the electricity supply need to be relocated which is happening here. New pylons have to be built and connected and the old ones will have to be demolished afterwards to make room for the A1. Three men high above the ground at work to install the cables and its insulators.
