Black Tailed Prairie Dog
Keystone species are those whose presence and role in an ecosystem is paramount to the point that they have a disproportionate effect on other organisms within the system. Ironically, though they have a lasting effect on the ecosystem, they are the least in count.
Who knew...they all matter!

A sweet-looking pair of CSX SD40-2s descend the West Slope of Sand Patch Grade on a fine Winter afternoon.
Keystone Dam is located on the Arkansas River near Sand Springs, Oklahoma. Keystone Lake, above the dam is fed by the Arkansas River and the Cimarron River. Started in 1956 and completed in 1964, it provides electrical power and flood control for the Tulsa area.
This place looks more like a hunting lodge than a mine mess hall. The structure on the right end is the ruins of the shower house.

The Norfolk Southern business train runs left-handed on the former N&W Pocahontas Division mainline. The immaculate covered wagons started the morning in Norfolk, Virginia and will tie up for the day in a few hours at the division point of Williamson, West Virginia. The Coca-Cola lettered building is just one of the many landmarks on the famed Elkhorn Grade in McDowell County West Virginia.

Deep gorge near Valdez Alaska, cut in the slate rock by the Lowe River.
In 2014 heavy snow (typical of the area) and avalanches completely filled this gorge in minutes, luckily no one was on the road at the time. The Lowe River was also blocked, and a new term was coined for the lake that flooded upriver from the 1500 foot long x 100 foot deep avalanche... a 'Damalanche.'
Excerpt from www1.toronto.ca:
The pure style is represented by mannered and geometrized classical mouldings, with keystones and other details rendered in contrasting stone. The distilled residential style is somewhat square and simple with some classical elements like classicized posts as porch support.
For the first time in nearly ten years, the iconic PRR 'keystone' logo adorns the nose of Pennsylvania Railroad E8 5898. Used by the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern as power for their excursion trains, this locomotive has spent most of the last decade cycling through phases of bodywork and partial repaints. With the reappearance of the nose logo in autumn 2022, the 5898 looks the most 'complete' it has in a long time.
Except during winter, StLIM&S operates excursions most Saturdays of the year. Here we see the train rolling across a small and mostly weed-obscured trestle south of Jackson, MO on October 29, 2022.
