On a perfect summer mornings a Keystone Outbound is departing the western electric terminal of Harrisburg PA. Leading towards New York is an Amtrak Cab Car rebuilt from a metro liner. Resting in the station is another set with a cab car.
I had to pull some old backups out to grab an image for something, and stumbled upon some old stuff, so I'm uploading it all for safekeeping.
The keystone is the last stone that they place into an arch, it makes the structure self supporting. It bears the less pressure compared to the other wedge shaped stones therefore the "key" word is very appropiate. Due to it's importance it is often carved and highlighted, bigger than the other stones or slightly dropped. In the medieval times masons mixed blood into the cement when they placed the keystone into the arch. So did I. It was a sacrifice to insure the stability of the building.
The black ring is carved from ardesia, a common stone around here. The white ones are Carrara marble, while the red one is Hungarian red marble. Apart of the actual blood I mixed into the cement, with it's colour it referes to the traditional blood offering. The stone element is set into a silver rim, that I worked out for my Planet Pendant.
The diameter of the circle (with the silver rim) is 32 mm.
Someone sent me this photo today so figured I would share and post it here. 1 of 1 Keystone Flyer. Basically a Bonneville with a few added features.
The Saint-Maurice cathedral, seat of the former diocese of Mirepoix, in Ariège, was built from 1297 on the left bank of the course of the Hers, a first church located on the right bank having been carried away by terrible floods in 1289.
From 1317, Pope John XXII made Mirepoix the seat of a new bishopric and the church immediately became a cathedral, but for all that, the funds were lacking to enlarge the building because of the Hundred Years War and the plague epidemic of 1361.
Thanks to Bishop Philippe de Lévis, work was finally initiated in the 16th century: it is true that when he took office, the nave was open to the sky and the rest of the site was almost abandoned. The bishop demolished the houses adjoining the cathedral, decided to enlarge and embellish it and endowed it in 1506 with a bell tower with a 60 m high spire. The entrance porch and the Renaissance door also date from this period.
After Philippe de Lévis, his successors no longer live on site and over the centuries, the structure deteriorates, the furniture is abandoned or looted (especially during the Revolution and when the bishopric is then abolished).
In the 19th century, a major restoration was undertaken under the direction of Viollet le Duc. The vault was redone, the walls of the choir and the nave were rebuilt: the latter becoming one of the widest in France (21.40 m), protected by flying buttresses. The whole is in the Languedoc Gothic style with, however, a few "liberties" taken with the history of art, as in most of the renovations carried out by Viollet le Duc.
Subsequently, the building was listed in 1907, the altars were replaced by Gothic imitations in white marble and in the middle of the 20th century, the coverings of the apse and the terraces were restored.
Inside, the private chapel of Bishop Philippe de Lévis, known for its labyrinth traced on cobblestones and its painted tiling, the keystones of the radiating chapels and the imposing organ from 1891 are to be observed, as well as the statues in gilded wood (18th century), paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries, a marble tabernacle and an altar table and its support in sculpted stone (15th century).
"It’s now an ATM niche, but it was originally one of the three corner entrances into the triangular Keystone Clothiers building. It was based on the Mayan Theater. The architect of the Mayan Theater was Stiles O. Clements of Morgan, Walls & Clements. Since opening in August 1927, the opulent theater had been a legitimate playhouse, a second-run movie house, a burlesque house, an art film house, a Spanish-language cinema, an “adult” theater, and, since 1990, a nightclub."

Location: Keystone Arches Chester, Massachusetts USA
Caption: Caption: Capture taken during a recent photo walk at the Keystone Arches in western Massachusetts. Trail head is located in Chester Ma and follows the west branch of the Westfield River. This double Arch is still in use by CSX rail. Very interesting location for both historical significance and abundant photo opportunities.
Info garnered from one of the trailside signs: The Keystone Arches (rail bridges) were built in the 1830’s as part of the Western Railroad opening in 1841, at the time the time it was longest and highest railroad in existence and the first to cross mountains. Incidentally the engineer / surveyor was Maj. George Washington Whistler whose second wife posed for her son’s famous painting “Portrait of the Painter’s Mother” aka “Whistler’s Mother”. Whistler also engineered 400 miles of Russian railroad for the Czar. The arches are all dry laid stone and were built this way for strength and longevity with no maintenance required. The builders had only black powder to loosen rock, picks, shovels and horse carts to move stone. Some of the line was re-routed so you can actually cross one of these bridges on foot and some of the arches are still in use today – a testament to the engineering when you consider when they were built the locomotives weighed 12,000 lbs. and modern locomotives now weigh north of 400,000 lbs.! Some of the trail follows along the Pontoosic Turnpike, an early stage coach road to Albany, NY.

The keystone is the wedge shaped block situated at the top of the arch, often decorative in appearance as in the example shown and holds the other blocks (voussoirs) of the arch together.
Detail of the 'AD 1871' keystone above the south portal of Moseley Green tunnel. I always find a tunnel with a dated keystone seems to give that structure a bit of uniqueness – and only four tunnels in the Forest carry such a date, the other three being Mierystock, Purton and the tramroad tunnel adjacent to this one, the second oldest tunnel in the Forest – see photos later in this photoset.
