Another shot dug out of the archives. Stac Pollaidh, seen from the main path up that wonderful little mountain.
The path leads round the back of the buttress on the right, to emerge on the summit ridge at the little gap indicated by the photo note. The main summit (612m) is at the far end of the ridge; it's a fairly serious scramble to get there.

CP 5686 leads 3 more SD40-2's on Eastbound CP/D&H train 522 at Canaseraga, NY on July 25, 1998. This angle is no longer possible because of all the trees that have grown in during the past 20 years. SD40-2's were pretty standard, and boring, power at the time on the CP freights.
New Haven Railroad EMD FL-9 locomotive # 2004 leads a westbound passenger train on an express track past tower SS38 at Stamford, Connecticut, 1968. The first car coupled to the locomotive is one of the various versions of the Pullman-Standard lightweight stainless steel combines ordered by the railroad. The combine is the Bronx County that was a Parlor-Buffet-Lounge that also includes two day roomettes and a drawing room, plus a baggage section. In the foreground is an old Reading gondola in the consist of freight cars shown, but most likely is in a group of cars being switched at this location. Bob Hughes was able to photograph a great number of trains from his tower location. There is an employee standing next to the flat car.
BNSF ES44AC 5855 leads BNSF SD70MAC 9869 and a empty coal train for the PRB coming up 2 track after meeting 6 loads stopped trying to get into Bill, WY on track 1. 5 minutes after this shot another load came down track 3 and another empty up track 4. And this is after coal has peaked a few years prior. This is one of the rare times I forgot to document the info on this train.
Keshavan leads his classmates to his birthday celebrations in the Hidden Oaks Nature center, Virginia. It was a day of education for the kids of his class
2194F leads 6752 Townsville to Acacia Ridge sweeper south out of Inkerman. 4164 and 2358 were in vehicle with three PCZY flats and four VBO ballast hoppers. 9/06/21
6349 leads 1 boxcar train over Patterson Road east of Gastonville. This bridge, one of several on this line that still has P&WV lettering.
43069 leads the 1206 London Paddington to Penzance away from Exeter at Marsh Barton. Whilst not quite such a world-famous tourist magnet as Salisbury ;-) Exeter Cathedral (properly known as the Cathedral Church of Saint Peter in Exeter) is prominent.
The farmer leads a happy life, so close is he to nature,
He lives in harmony with all, a foretaste of the future,
He breaks the virgin prairie sod and sows it down to grain,
And after he has done his part he meekly prays for rain.
He grows the barley wheat and oats on which the world is fed,
And raises mutton, beef and pork as well for daily bread,
He grows the cotton, clips the wool to make our family clothes,
He skins the beef and sells the hides, that's where we get our shoes.
If sugar's short he honey gets made by the busy bee,
Or maple sugar neatly tapped from out the garden tree,
His table set as for a feast with plenty for to eat,
All raised and grown on the farm, vegetable, fruit, and meat.
If he should tire of beef and pork as well as other roasts,
He's always sure he'll like a change of eggs and buttered toast,
Or perhaps he'd like to choose some chicken that's well fried,
And often for a special treat has goose and turkey tried.
The berries in their season are like a merry dream,
And make your mouth to water with lots of farmer's cream,
His children have full room to play and fresh air for to breathe,
Besides an education fair from flowers, grain, and trees.
The farmer's back is broad and strong, his hands are built for toil,
He has some dust upon his shoes, his socks are full of soil,
He has some thistles in his pants, burrs in his undershirt,
And ragweed trickles down his neck, these things he calls clean dirt.
Some folks rave of sunsets when the sun sinks in the west,
The farmer says the sunrise is what he likes the best,
The sunset says the day is o'er, the sun it gives the warning,
The farmer hears the rooster crow and says that it is morning.
Another day to do his work, another day to live,
Another day to do his part, a contribution give,
To feed the world food it must have at morning, noon, and even',
He takes his place in this good world, by God so freely given.
And when old age creeps up his back and takes him down a peg,
He finds he doesn't have to work, much less has he to beg,
He just sits around and gives advice, keeps by the cheerful fire,
And grandchildren listen to his words, he never seems to tire.
And when he doesn't work at that he reads the funny page,
And to the younger set becomes a venerable sage,
He catches fish or shoots some duck or goes to see a friend,
Or lends a hand to nurse the sick, who's near the journey's end.
And when he, too, is no more use and life goes on apace,
He wonders what the future holds for those who take his place,
He doesn't seem to worry much for men may come and go,
He's satisfied he's done his part and ready for to go.

Pardon the ignorance, but when did MACs get rare, especially on KCS. Legitimately, this may be the first MAC I've shot since a trip to Alaska in 2018. Whatever it may be, this KCS MAC leads a UP PSR special up the Austin Sub out of San Antonio, TX (mixed freight, DPU, stacks, more mixed freight). December 2020.
BNSF 4600 leads a manifest train under the old ATSF style signal bridge and soon to go under the old Elm Street overpass in Gardner, KS. Nothing that you see is this image looks the same today. It's 4 tracks here, the signal bridge is gone and the Elm Street overpass was eliminated when they built LPKC in Edgerton. This was always one of my favorite photo spots proving that ETTS.

A pack of horses leads a group of park visitors through a series of ascending switchbacks along the Peekaboo Loop Trail. The lead animal and its guide stop briefly to glare at the man with the camera focused on them.
New Haven Railroad DER-2a class ALCO FA-1 # 0401 leads an eastbound freight train past tower SS38, with a tower operator looking on at Stamford, Connecticut, 1968. Bob Hughes with his position as a tower operator could capture images such as this on a regular basis where a railfan could just not do it. In the background is seen highway I-95 and a small portion of Stamford's downtown area. The FA-1 locomotive is wearing what has been called the Alpert paint scheme. You can also notice that the old single bulb and reflector style headlight has been replaced with twin sealed beam headlights.
56081 leads GBRf's 5Q77 1010 Crewe CS to Walton Old Sdgs along the Down Arpley line at Warrington with two new Stadler class 777 units in tow on 1st February 2021.
The Merseyrail sets were 777003 & 777009 and were being moved to Walton Old sidings from Crewe where they had been at Crewe CS for door modifications since coming up from Dollands Moor.
There is no room on Kirkdale for the Stadler sets as the 507s & 508s are still present in large numbers due to Covid restrictions halting the planned crew training for the new stock. Bringing up the rear of the train was 47739.
Not being equipped with a pole, I had to make do by standing on a temporary road sign to gain a bit of height!
Fortunately only a 3 mile bike ride for me to see this unusual working of a daytime 777 movement.
EDIT: This would appear to be the only time that this move is likely to be seen in the daytime here, as the next time it ran, the train stopped by Walton Old and was drawn in on a shunt move unnkown to the planners (or crew obviously!) thus avoiding the needless run to Latchford to reverse.
Penn Central GG1 leads a passenger train on a former New Haven Railroad express track through the station at Green Farms, Connecticut, early 1970's. There are numerous old vehicles to be seen in the parking lots within this scene. This little station building reminds one of a small county depot that might be found along a single track branch line. This photo was provide to me by the photographer that capture this image on film.
138. Sticking to the only-human leads not to remaining in the human sphere but to becoming sub-human. For persisting in something is to loose it: to loose that which was intended to be retained.
139. The one in whom the problems of life, consciousness and death do not arise cannot in the strictest sense of the word be regarded as a human being. Undoubtedly he looks like a man but in reality he is not.
140. If superhuman principles does not stand behind man’s intention of changing himself then he will not remain in the human state but descend to a subhuman condition.
141. Without aims going beyond life one does not only go in the wrong way but strictly speaking, one should not be called a man.
142. The one who is not able to live his life as a constant ascension, which attains its perfection in the period right before death, but from a certain age starts to descend, in reality abuses his life.
73968 leads a rather late 1A25 London Euston to Aberdeen 'Caledonian Sleeper' north through Carnoustie some 7 and 1/2 hours late.
An unfortunate combination of a late start from Euston caused by stock issues, a signalling problem en route and then issues with the train loco at Thornton led to one of the latest recorded arrival's in Aberdeen for the sleeper ...3pm.
73966 on the rear was summoned from Craigentinny to assist from Thornton but in the even doesn't appear to have been required.
43093 leads 43157 through a snowy Burton Salmon on the 29th December 2000. They were in charge of the diverted 1V49 06:30 Dundee to Penzance. This sums up what what I miss about the current scene. Who wants to go out and phot a diverted Voyager?!
UP SD40N 1794 leads a XITVP over the bridge at Holyoke, MN late on the afternoon of Jume 10, 2014. Nice seeing one of the rebuilt SD40-2 UP engines up in the Twin Ports. Usually the train a day in and out of the Ports is handled by wide cabs, but traffic seems to be up on the UP around here and some extras have been running. This extra out of Itasca Yard had 69 cars, mostly potash from the CN and tank cars out of the Calumet refinery in Superior.
The route that leads to the Piton de la Fournaise crosses through a lunar landscape: Plaine des Sables, a stretch of scorch marks and volcanic rocks at more than 2,000 above sea level.
The destination of today's walk is none other than Piton de la Fournaise, one of the highlights of Reunion Island's stunning natural landscape and one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Even when she is not erupting, Her Majesty la Fournaise is worth the visit, not least because the route which leads there crosses such stunning scenery!
First of all it climbs through a forest of cryptomerias, conifers with straight trunks, which quickly gives way to vegetation stunted by the cool temperature and the altitude. The road is now a track, in the middle of a landscape where volcanic rock is everywhere.
A plain between heaven and earth
We arrive at Pas des Sables, on the edge of a rampart, 2,350m above sea level. A breathtaking panorama opens up before us: a desert full of scorch marks with reddish reflections, just like the surface of the moon. Plaine des Sables stretches out beneath our eyes!
The sea of clouds borders both ends, in the North and the South. For several kilometres, the arid plain seems poised between heaven and earth. The rock and volcanic sand take on different colours depending on the sunlight. Sometimes swept by banks of mist, or drowned under downfalls in the austral summer, it's a continually changing spectacle.
The Kingdom of Vulcan
As we cross Plaine des Sables it feels like we're walking on the Moon. The end of the route approaches: Pas de Bellecombe, a belvedere on the summit of Piton de la Fournaise (2,632m above sea level). The volcano sits majestically in the middle of a high rampart in the shape of a horseshoe, the Enclos, created by the many collapses which have marked the geological history of the massif.
Leaning on the guardrail, I let my gaze wander to the bottom of the Enclos which bears the marks of thousands of eruptions. The black traces of recent lava flows cover the rock washed out by the bad weather caused by older volcanic eruptions. Everywhere you can make out the hellish shapes of solidified magma. It's like an incredible sculpture park that you should see at least once in your life!

Die Straße zum Piton de la Fournaise führt durch eine absolute Mondlandschaft: die Plaine des Sables, eine weite Fläche aus Schlacke und Vulkangesteinen auf einer Höhe von über 2.000 Metern.
Das Ziel unserer Tageswanderung ist kein geringerer als der Piton de la Fournaise, eine der Glanznummern des großen reunionesischen Naturschauspiels und einer der aktivsten Vulkane der Erde. Selbst wenn er nicht gerade brodelt, verdient die Majestät La Fournaise einen Besuch, zumal die zu ihm führende Straße 5-Sterne-Kulissen durchquert!
Zunächst führt sie bergauf durch einen Sicheltannenwald; das sind Nadelhölzer mit geradlinigem Stamm. Nach kurzer Zeit macht er einer aufgrund der kühlen Höhenlagen verkümmerten Vegetation Platz. Jetzt wird die Straße inmitten einer Landschaft, wo Vulkangestein allgegenwärtig ist, zum Weg.
Eine Hochebene zwischen Himmel und Erde
Wir erreichen den 2.350 Meter hohen Pass Pas des Sables an der Kante eines Steilhangs. Ein atemberaubender Panoramablick bietet sich unseren Blicken: eine Wüste mit rotbrauner Schlacke, die einen absolut mondähnlichen Charakter besitzt. La Plaine des Sables erstreckt sich vor unseren Augen!
Beidseitig wird sie im Norden und Süden vom Wolkenmeer begrenzt. Auf mehreren Kilometern scheint die karge Wüste zwischen Himmel und Erde zu liegen. Das Vulkangestein und der vulkanische Sand ändern ihre Farben im Licht der Sonne. Durch die zeitweise über sie hinweg wabernden Nebelschwaden oder die Wassermengen des Südsommers bietet sie ein ständig wechselndes Schauspiel.
Im Königreich des Vulkans
Wir durchqueren La Plaine des Sables und haben dabei den Eindruck, auf dem Mond zu laufen. Das Ende der Straße ist nah: der 2.632 Meter hohe Aussichtspunkt auf dem Gipfel des Piton de la Fournaise, Le Pas de Bellecombe. Der Vulkan thront inmitten eines hohen, hufeisenförmigen Steilhangs, der Vulkanebene L’Enclos, die sich aus den zahlreichen Einstürzen herausgebildet hat, welche die geologische Geschichte des Massivs begleiteten.
Auf das Geländer gestützt lasse ich meinen Blick über den Grund dieser Ebene L’Enclos schweifen, welche die Narben tausender Eruptionen trägt. Die schwarzen Spuren der jüngeren Lavaströme bedecken den Felsen, welcher von den Witterungseinflüssen der älteren Vulkanausbrüche aufgeweicht wurde. Überall erahnt man die dantischen Formen erstarrter Magma. Ein wunderschöner Skulpturengarten, den man mindestens einmal im Leben bewundert haben muss!

As the train approached a Stoat was running along the grass in the foreground, sadly it isnt in the shot as the HST spooked it
BNSF #968 leads the H GALTUL off of the KCT onto the ex-Frisco BNSF Fort Scott Subdivision. It will stop a few feet from here to swap the Marceline Sub crew out for a Ft. Scott Sub crew. Many would agree that this might be the best looking road power on the BNSF roster.
Italien / SĂĽdtirol - Dreiburgenwanderung bei Eppan
This very pleasant hiking tour leads you to three popular castles: Castel d’Appiano, Castel Boymont and Castel Corba
Our starting point is the small village of Missiano in the municipality of Appiano. Having reached the car parking space underneath Castel Corba, we start our hiking tour on an asphalted street. Very soon we can see two of the castles on our tour: first Castel Corba and than Castel Boymont, which lies a little further above in the woods.
Later on, the trail leads us along vineyards and fruit orchards, presenting wonderful views to the valley and the city of Bolzano. Soon afterwards we reach a farm, which we simply cross, staying on the asphalted street. At the beginning of the wood we follow trail no. 12 until the so-called „castle trail“ (in German „Burgenweg“). Having gained height on a small steep track the trail goes on on a series of serpentines until we finally reach the tower „Kreideturm“.
We pass the „Kreideturm“, keep to the left and continue until we reach an asphalted forest street which will finally lead us to Castel d’Appiano. Before the trail gets steeper we decide to stop and drink some water we brought with us in our rucksacks. Continuing our hiking, we soon arrive at our first destination, the Castel d’Appiano. A breathtaking view to the valley and the city of Bolzano is welcoming us here! Having taken some fotos, we decide to explore the inside of the castle. Passing a small bridge we reach the castle’s gate and enter the courtyard. In the castle’s tavern we treat ourselves with some refreshing drinks.
After a short visitation we continue our hiking tour towards Castel Boymont, passing some horses and pigs who are looking at us half asleep. We follow the track steeply downwards to a gorge where we take some steps and cross a little bridge before we walk upwards again to reach the other side where we can once again enjoy the great view to the castle and its chapel. We continue our hike through the wood (trail no. 14), finally arriving at our next destination, Castel Boymont. After a short visitation, we enjoy the warming autumn sunlight.
Starting our way back we take the same trail on which we came to Castel Boymont. After a few metres we turn into the trail that leads us back to Castel Corba.
Please note: This hiking tour is particularly recommendable in spring and autumn and very suitable for families since castles and their courtyards are great playgrounds for children who like adventures.

Hocheppan Castle (German: Burg Hocheppan) lies on the territory of the frazione of Missian in the municipality of Eppan near Bozen in South Tyrol (Italy). Hocheppan is one of the most important fortifications in South Tyrol.
The medieval hill castle stands on precipitous crags above Missian.
Most South Tyrolean castle scholars believe the castle hill was already settled and fortified in the Rhaetian period. The most recent archaeological finds confirm this.
According to one theory, Hocheppan Castle was built around 1125 by Count Ulrich II of Eppan as a stronghold (Trutzburg). Other researchers believe a later construction date is more probable.
The former seat of the counts of Eppan near the village of St. Pauls had become unsafe due to conflicts with the counts of Tyrol. Where it was, exactly, is not known, but in any case the Altenburg ("Old Castle") in Eppan is not the predecessor of Hocheppan.
In 1158, after the Eppans had ambushed a Papal delegation, the castle was destroyed in a punitive expedition under Henry the Lion, but was then rebuilt. In 1315, it was transferred to the princes of Tyrol, who subsequently enfeoffed it to various families. In 1834, Emperor Francis I enfeoffed the castle to Martin Teimer von Wildau. Since 1911 the counts of Enzenberg have owned Hocheppan.
Meanwhile, the structure of the castle has been consolidated and, in places, restored. The site is home to a snack bar today.
Access to the castle, which was extended over the centuries, is from the north through a complex system of outworks, guarded by battery towers, from the late Middle Ages, much of which dates to the 16th century. Outside the actual enceinte, an open roundel, which could be defended with firearms, guards the site. Dominating the castle is the high pentagonal bergfried, a shape which is rare in the Tyrol, whose condition is endangered by a deep fissure in the masonry.
The frescoes in the castle chapel are some of the best preserved in Tyrol. On the inner and outer walls scenes from the life of Jesus and the apostles are depicted as well as other Biblical scenes, such as the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins.
About ten minutes walk from Hocheppan is the Chalk Tower (Kreidenturm), a separates outwork of the castle. It consists of a very high, white, limed tower that is probably still at its original height. It is surrounded by a small chemise.

Eine gemütliche Wanderung, die Sie zu drei bekannten Schlössern führt: Burgruine Boymont, Schloss Hocheppan und Schloss Korb.
Ausgangspunkt unserer Wanderung ist die kleine Ortschaft Missian, eine Fraktion der Gemeinde Eppan. Mit dem Auto erreichen wir den Parkplatz etwas unterhalb von Schloss Korb und machen uns von hier aus auf den Weg und folgen anfangs immer der asfaltierten Straße. Hier können wir bereits zwei der Schlösser der Wanderung entdecken: Schloss Korb und etwas weiter oben im Wald können wir schon Schloss Boymont erspähen.
Der Weg führt uns an Weinbergen und Obstwiesen entlang und wir genießen die herrliche Aussicht auf das Tal und die Stadt Bozen. Bereits nach kurzer Zeit erreichen wir einen Bauernhof, den wir, der asphaltierten Straße folgend, einfach durchqueren. Nun erreichen wir einen Wald und folgen immer dem Weg Nr. 12, bis wir den Burgenweg erreichen. Über einen kleinen Steig gewinnen wir an Höhe und schlängeln uns über Serpentinen hoch. Bald schon haben wir den Kreideturm erreicht.
Wir spazieren am Kreideturm vorbei, halten uns links und erreichen eine asphaltierte WaldstraĂźe, der wir nun Richtung Schloss Hocheppan folgen. Der Weg wird deutlich steiler, doch bald haben wir bereits unser erstes Ziel erreicht: Schloss Hocheppan, mit einem herrlichen Panorama auf das Tal. Ăśber eine BrĂĽcke erreichen wir das Tor des Schlosses und treten in den Innenhof ein. In der Burgschenke erwartet uns die Gelegenheit fĂĽr eine erfrischende Pause.
Nach einer kurzen Besichtigung wandern wir Richtung Schloss Boymont weiter. Wir kommen an Pferden und Schweinen vorbei, die uns etwas schläfrig betrachten. Der Weg führt nun steil abwärts in eine Schlucht. Von dort aus müssen wir über Stiegen und eine kleine Brücke auf der anderen Seite wieder hoch. Hier angekommen genießen wir noch einmal die schöne Aussicht auf das Schloss und seine Kapelle.
Durch den Wald setzen wir unsere Wanderung fort (Nr. 14) und nähern uns somit unserem nächsten Ziel, Boymont. An der Burg angekommen, besichtigen wir auch diese und genießen die wärmenden Sonnenstrahlen des Herbstes. Dann machen wir uns auf den Rückweg. Über den selben Weg, den wir zum Aufstieg zur Burg bewältigt haben, wandern wir ein kurzes Stück zurück bis zur Wegkreuzung, die uns direkt zu Schloss Korb zurückbringt.
Hinweis: Diese Wanderung ist besonders im Frühjahr und Herbst zu empfehlen. Besonders für Kinder sind die mittelalterlichen Burgen und Schlösser immer wieder ein großer Abenteuer- und Spielplatz.

Die Burg Hocheppan zählt zu den wichtigsten Wehrbauten in Südtirol (Italien). Sie liegt auf dem Gebiet der Fraktion Missian in der Großgemeinde Eppan bei Bozen.
Die Burganlage liegt oberhalb von steilen Felswänden über Missian. Sie gehört zum Typus der Höhenburgen.
Nach Ansicht der meisten Südtiroler Burgenforscher war der Burghügel bereits in rätischer Zeit besiedelt bzw. befestigt. Neueste archäologische Funde bestätigten dies.
Burg Hocheppan wurde nach einer Theorie um 1125 von Graf Ulrich II. aus dem Haus Eppan als Trutzburg erbaut. Andere Forscher halten ein späteres Entstehungsdatum für wahrscheinlich.
Der vorherige Sitz der Grafen von Eppan in Dorfnähe von St. Pauls war wegen der Auseinandersetzungen mit den Grafen von Tirol zu unsicher geworden. Wo er genau lag ist unbekannt, jedenfalls ist die Altenburg nicht als Vorgängerburg von Hocheppan anzusehen.
Nachdem die Eppaner 1158 eine päpstliche Gesandtschaft überfallen hatten, wurde die Burg durch eine Strafexpedition unter Heinrich dem Löwen zerstört, danach aber wieder aufgebaut. 1315 wurde sie an die Landesfürsten von Tirol übergeben, die in der Folge verschiedene Familien damit belehnten. 1834 gab Kaiser Franz I. die Burg an Martin Teimer von Wildau als Lehen. 1911 ging Hocheppan in den Besitz der Grafen Enzenberg über, die den Baubestand konsolidierten und teilweise auch restaurierten. 2016 erwarb die Gemeinde Eppan die Burg zu einem Kaufpreis von rund 3,5 Millionen Euro.
Der Zugang der über Jahrhunderte erweiterten Burg wird im Norden durch ein komplexes System von Vorwerken mit Geschütztürmen aus dem späten Mittelalter geschützt, das zu großen Teilen aus dem 16. Jahrhundert stammt. Außerhalb des eigentlichen Mauerberings schützt ein offenes Rondell, das mit Feuerwaffen verteidigt werden konnte, die Anlage. Dominant ist der hohe und in Tirol seltene fünfeckige Bergfried, dessen Bestand durch einen tiefen Riss im Mauerwerk gefährdet ist.
Die Fresken der Burgkapelle gehören zu den besterhaltenen Fresken Tirols. Auf Innen- und Außenwänden sind Szenen aus dem Leben Jesu und der Apostel sowie weitere biblische Szenen, wie die klugen und die törichten Jungfrauen, abgebildet.
Etwa zehn Fußminuten vor Hocheppan befindet sich der Kreidenturm, ein separates Vorwerk von Hocheppan. Es besteht aus einem sehr hohen, weiß gekalkten Turm, der wohl in ursprünglicher Höhe erhalten ist und von einer kleinen Ringmauer umgeben wird.

NS 3220 leads a tanker local through NS junction with a nice painted cabooses on the back. First time shooting at Ohio street!!
Stanier Black 5 44871 leads the first leg of this year's Great Britain tour around Kent this morning, working up to Folkestone at Capel le Ferne. Was a little surprised to be the only person here, though it is a bit of a trek to get to this footbridge. In my case more vertically as parked on the Old Dover Road on top of the cliffs...
Thankfully Network Rail have cleared out the buddleia that was growing next to the line when I was here last year.
I'm not chasing this tour around the country, just took the opportunity to see it down in the South East. Though I may catch up with it again next weekend!
