This is a one way street with 2 areas of semicircular bike racks a few metres apart. However, to cycle north-eastwards just 25m incurs a detour of over 1km.
[Google Maps directions claim that you can cycle north-eastwards between the 2 but that is a mistake on their part; you would have to walk (that is why driving route is shown).]
[And we'll ignore the motorbike parked there shall we?]
In the 1800's a 3'6" gauge railway was built in what was thought to be seemingly impassable wilderness. It purpose was to carry copper from the mines in Queenstown, where smelters opened in 1897, to the port at Strahan. Due to the steep climbs a rack was laid and the 0-4-2 steam locomotives fitted with a cog driven by an extra two cylinders (based on a German patent which was already proven). In June 1962 the last through train ran between Queenstown (pictured above) and Strahan due to improvements to the road system.
In 1990, with funding from the federal government, the railway was relaid and a number of passenger carriages were built, as well as, the restoration of the present three steam locomotives. The completed station and turntable of the restored operation is pictured above.

Newly-completed Mitcham station built as part of works to grade separate rail line from Mitcham Road and Rooks Road. The station officially opened January 25; the day before these photos were taken.
The new lowered station is located on the southern side of the old at-grade station in what was part of the station's car park.
An UP X'Trapolis passes a DOWN empty one through the new station. View looking in UP direction from the pedestrian overpass.
Photography from a flight over the North American prairies: the journey was from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan into the province of Alberta. A snow-covered landscape shows an interplay of light and shadows.
The new bridge deck under construction. The new bridge will be an iconic structure – the largest and longest main span river crossing in Western Canada; the second longest (by mere metres) in North America and the 29th longest in the world.

環河南北路快速道路，北起延平北路六段，南終點於萬大路華中橋；北端和洲美快速道路相接，南段和水源快速道路相接，屬於台北市區的環西快速道路系統，有效地疏解流動於台北市南北交通的車流，故行車規劃上，台中市都會區無交接完善的高架道路，行經市區車輛，不同時段都會塞車的困擾問題，在台北相較良好許多。

In the 1980s, USAID funded hundreds of infrastructure projects in El Salvador. These efforts were made possible by the active participation of local community members, including local women who carried rocks to help in the construction of a retention wall for landslide prevention projects.

Starting in October 2012, the second ARM Mobile Facility (AMF2) was deployed on the Horizon Lines cargo ship Spirit for the year-long Marine ARM GPCI1 Investigation of Clouds (MAGIC) campaign, traveling between Los Angeles, California, and Honolulu, Hawaii. The purpose of the deployment was to understand and parameterize clouds, precipitation, aerosols and radiation, and the interactions among them.
