43274 leads 1Q18 05:43 Reading Triangle Sidings to Paignton past Hollicombe on Friday 5th April 2024
Despite being very close in number, these two units are actually very different models. The leader is an ET44AH. The unit is compliant with the Tier-4 emissions requirements put out by the EPA. The second unit is an ES44AC, which is compliant with the Tier-3 emissions requirements in effective up until January 1, 2016. Together they lead an eastbound coal load on the main at Cliff past some "stick track" laying on the ground near the east end of the house track.

89001 'Avocet' leads 82139 'My Lovely Horse' & 86101 'Sir William A Stanier FRS' past Beckfoot working 5Z32 13:24 Tebay - Crewe H.S.
This was a loaded test run for the 89, which was performing well past us at Beckfoot. The outward leg was running late due to OHLE damage at Leyland the previous day which had delayed numerous freight workings alongside the usual Avanti/TPE/Northern services.
Having arrived late and then ran round the train at Tebay, it was a waiting game for us and the onboard crew while a path became available to return south.
BNSF #727 leads southbound B119 through Newburgh, New York on the CSX River Line bound for Philadelphia. While most BNSF units from the 700 series are still painted in the predecessor “Warbonnet” paint scheme, this locomotive was one of only a handful of units that have been repainted into the modern look.
59205 leads 59104 Village of Great Elm DIT through Berkley near Frome with a short, late-running 7C77 Acton to Merehead empties.
As all music fans know, "Sleeping Village" was the sixth track on Black Sabbath's remarkable (some would say terrifying) debut album "Black Sabbath". Released (well more like it wanted to escape and there was no-one brave enough to stop it) in 1970. The hugely influential album is held by many to be the moment that Heavy Metal as a music genre came into being, so well done to the lads from Brum. Personally I prefer the slightly later stuff, "Heaven and Hell" being my favourite with vocal duties handled by the teflon-tonsiled, gone but not forgotten, Ronnie James Dio after Ozzy was finally fired from the band for being a tool.

IC 6251 leads a BLE SD40-3 and CN SD40-2 southbound through Saginaw with a loaded ore train. I don't have an ID but with so much of what is pictured no longer shootable I am really glad to have made the trip here in March 2024.
DME 6073 leads train 682 on around a curve on the north side of Dubuque on a beautiful Sunday morning, with the DME 6090 and a whole bunch of what I believe are loaded sand hoppers in tow. At left is one of the abutments for the old Dubuque Eagle Point Bridge that was opened in 1902 and replaced by the current Dubuque-Wisconsin bridge in 1982.
I was in downtown Dubuque anyway this particular morning, and when I heard the crew get talked by MOW north of town I decided to grab a shot. Of the DME "Red Bombs," I don't mind this one so much with the bell and stripes.
43189 leads the 2E06 07.45 Penzance - Exeter St Davids across what is known as Crabtree Viaduct with 43092 on the rear. A lot of clouds about this morning as well as bright sun. The ten minutes I stood here saw the light levels go up and down.
Italien / Südtirol - Dreiburgenwanderung bei Eppan
Hocheppan Castle
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 Waldstraße, 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. Über eine Brücke erreichen wir das Tor des Schlosses und treten in den Innenhof ein. In der Burgschenke erwartet uns die Gelegenheit für 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.

A Morrison Knudsen rebuild leads a Miami bound Tri-Rail commuter train in Fort Lauderdale, FL. The #805 was among the first locomotives in service on Tri-Rail and was retired in 2015. You would not know it by looking at it but in its prior life it was a Conrail GP40. This commuter line runs along the Florida east coast between Miami and West Palm Beach.
50008 leads 67028 through the long-closed Charfield station with the return leg of the 'Retro Devon Belle II' 1Z70 1623 Paignton to Huddersfield on Saturday 27th May 2023.
The station here was open from 1864 to 1965 and plans to get it rebuilt on the original site appear to have recently been given the green light. Like many stations closed around 50 or 60 years ago, Charfield has a growing population with no nearby station and the £22m (yes really) scheme will address that.

Finnegan leads a fairly stressful life. Playing with other dogs all day, eating cheese and other snicks, playing with one of his many toys, staring down squirrels at the kitchen window, going on long walks with Mom or car rides to the beach with Dad. Sometimes you just gotta slow down and relax:)
I officially love sun-beams

Our word for today from the Word of God actually comes from my life verse in Romans 8:37 . But, before we get to that, you have to hear the context. Paul talks about these things that have gone on in his life, "trouble, hardship, persecution, famine, nakedness, danger, sword." He's just talked about the worst terrain life has to offer!
If you're on a rocky or slippery road right now, it's probably covered in that list. Or whatever you're going through is nothing worse than what's on that list. Now, the response of someone who is living with spiritual four wheel drive, Romans 8:37 , "In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us." Those guys going where I can't go on those back roads, I know what they feel like - conquerors! The Bible says here that we can live with four wheel drive conquering, actually, more than conquering those things that sink most people. But, how can you be an all-terrain, all-weather Christian, especially with the difficulties you're facing right now? Well, there are four secrets in Romans 8 to four wheel drive faith. First of all you know there's a perfect plan. Verse 28 says, "We know that in all these things God works for the good of those who love him." No matter how the road or the weather looks, you trust in God believing that this road is part of His great loving plan and that if it's a bumpy road it leads to something very beautiful.
It's time that you shifted into four wheel drive for the bumpy or maybe even dangerous road ahead of you. You have a perfect plan, inexhaustible resources, unloseable love and an invincible Savior. Is there any road you can't handle? Is there any road where you cannot be more than a conqueror?

NS 2620 leads ballast train 928 around the NS installed connection track at Bucyrus as they pass the former NYC-TOC station/museum. The train will proceed south toward Marion, OH, runaround its train, turn a locomotive and dump ballast on the Sandusky District.
R707 leads R761 as 8595 departing Newport bound for South Dynon Locomotive depot. This move was with Steamrail Victoria nd 707 Operations due to an occupation at Newport Junction that night. Steamrail ran their annual Snow Train to Traralgon the next day with R761 while R707 ran a charter to Bacchus Marsh.
This consist was R707 - R761 - 17 Cars - T413 - T356.
The headboard on the front of R707 was to recognise the 60th anniversary of the R Class locomotive.
Blitzkrieg leads me through a door and down several flights of stairs, like a lot of stairs. I count at least thirty flights before I get bored. He finally opens a door at the bottom of one flight and bids me to enter after him.
He walks over to his desk and stands, his hands resting on the desktop, pistol back in its holster.
"So, Zulu, I see you figured out my little erm... game? Tell me, how did you break that code? Are you at all familiar with Enigma Codes? Hmm? Silence? Very brooding, I can--"
"Blitzkrieg, shut the fuck up. I don't give a shit how impressed you are or how amazing this borderline Moonbase is, I just want to fight you, kill you and find my friends again, through any means. So stand the fuck up like a 'true Aryan man' and face me! Come on!"
*Sigh* "I'm afraid I can't *really* have a fair fight with the likes of you. I mean, look at me, I'm nearly a century and I've finally harnessed my full strength as an Aryan. You see, you'd be steamrolled, and--"
"And you'd be surprised how tough the League of Assassins trains their--"
"And could you please cease to interrupt me? This if for you, that I say this; leave. Leave now. Take your friends, and go. I'll give you two hours to leave New Berlin with your lives, as unscathed as you are right now. Deal?" I ponder the deal for about thirty seconds. Take it? I live, Jerrick and his... girlfriend live. Leave it? I die, Jerrick and Linda as well, but I can take Blitzkrieg with me.
"I reject your offer. Let's fight."
"To the death, mien leibling?"
"Of course!" I say, snarling and sneering. Adrenaline already pumps through my blood.
