The Burt Line was an unfinished railroad intended to cross NY state, and competed during construction with the West Shore & Buffalo Railroad. The 2014 Oneida Railway Company book discusses the unfinished line in some detail, and ironically states that construction of the line had been halted around this general vicinity due to an embankment that the West Shore built just west of Quality Hill Rd. (Now Beebe Bridge Rd.) Apparently both railroads surveyed land, and even did some grading, in some places side by side. I theorize that many parts of the West Shore may have been built at a later date over the proposed route of the Burt Line. From what I recall in the book, the two railroads went to court, but neither were found responsible, and construction on the Burt Line ceased not long after, due to the death of General Burt; the mastermind of the proposed railroad. I have no clue how much of the Burt Line was actually built, surveyed, or graded. It is clearly evident here, and on the north side of the old West Shore right-of-way at the end of Stone St. and Lenox Avenue in the city of Oneida, NY. Interestingly, I did see traces of stone, cinder, on the embankment, and a fence on the south side of this grade, typical in design of those built by the railroads. This made me wonder if the West Shore ever used this as a siding during the early days of operations? Perhaps during construction, or until the NYC take over?

'Making war against terror a success'- Island Editorial
"Democracies, the world over have had to respond to threats from both within and without in a similar manner or concede victory to evil forces and perish in the process. Sri Lanka has, after years of oscillation between the two alternatives, finally opted for the former. Tiny as Sri Lanka may be in size, it has taken on the 'most ruthless terrorist organisation' in the world" says the Island in its Editorial published, today, Sep 2.
"The only way to judge the success of a war is to see if it makes life better for civilians after its conclusion. Land may be liberated from the clutches of a terrorist outfit through military means, terrorists killed and the writ of the government re-established in some parts of the country where it had ceased to run, but, if civilians do not feel their lot has improved at the end of the day, the war has failed", the editorial further stated underscoring the need to address the fundamental needs of the affected communities.
Following are excerpts of the editorial published in the Island daily, Tuesday, 1 Sep.
War is hell as General Sherman famously said after the American Civil War. All wars in this world have been fought at the expense of the unarmed civilians on the side of both the victor and the vanquished. War crimes usually become the crimes committed by the vanquished and not the victor, who becomes the judge, the jury and the executioner.
Military operations are like surgical operations: However desirous we may be of avoiding them, there come times when we have to face them whether we like them or not. The world was without an alternative to war in dealing with Hitler. Unless that psycho had been stopped in his tracks, albeit with some delay, he would certainly have made Jews of all the races in this world, save the one he favoured. Had the democratic world adopted the same appeasement policy as some nations that chose to lick his blood-stained Nazi boots in return for non-invasion and allowed him to do as he pleased, today's world would have become one massive concentration camp equipped with state-of-the-art gas chambers.
Democracies, the world over have had to respond to threats from both within and without in a similar manner or concede victory to evil forces and perish in the process. Sri Lanka has, after years of oscillation between the two alternatives, finally opted for the former. Tiny as Sri Lanka may be in size, it has taken on the 'most ruthless terrorist organisation' in the world. Ironically, although Sri Lanka is doing exactly as the champions of global democracy are doing elsewhere in dealing with terror, and its victory against the LTTE is sure to send a chilling message to other terrorist outfits threatening global peace, the self-appointed custodians of global democracy are all out to throw a monkey wrench in the works on the pretext of a humanitarian intervention to let the cornered Tigers off the hook. They, ably assisted by the pro-LTTE INGO/NGO lobby, are preparing the grounds for invoking the so-called R2P (Responsibility/Right to Protect).
The Tigers are on their last legs, having plunged the country into war in 2006. And the biggest challenge before the government is not capturing Kilinochchi or Prabhakaran but denying those members of the international community conspiring to help him by stopping the war an opportunity to achieve their goal. They are eagerly waiting for a humanitarian catastrophe in the Wanni to intervene and the LTTE is doing its damnedest to increase collateral damage and create conditions for that.
The only way to judge the success of a war is to see if it makes life better for civilians after its conclusion. Land may be liberated from the clutches of a terrorist outfit through military means, terrorists killed and the writ of the government re-established in some parts of the country where it had ceased to run, but, if civilians do not feel their lot has improved at the end of the day, the war has failed.
There are many backers of the on-going military offensives against the LTTE. But, sadly, among them, there is hardly anyone willing to make a contribution towards ameliorating the plight of the war-displaced, on whose wellbeing the success of war hinges. Various activities being done at a massive cost to boost the morale of the armed forces, who are already doing extremely well, should also be used to mobilise the public to help the war-torn populace. That is not a task that should be left entirely to a government. There must be popular participation in providing relief to the war displaced. Relief must flow into the Wanni from the four corners of the country!
Meanwhile, it is reported that the army has at long last released a small portion of land in the high security zone in Jaffna to the people for paddy cultivation. That is the way forward. Land liberated from the terrorists must be returned to the rightful owners without undue delay to bring it under the plough so that civilians will rest assured that they will gain from the defeat of terrorism. The Rice Bowl of Mannar and other fertile land which the army cleared of the LTTE must be handed back to the people as early as possible. That will be a blessing not only for the indefatigable industrious farmers in that part of the country but also for the whole country. For, the cultivation of those lands will give a boost to the national food supply.
The LTTE has got what it asked for and its terror machine is giving way under military pressure. But, the success of war-let it be repeated-consists in the ending of the civilians' suffering and winning their hearts and minds. Those who want the LTTE crushed militarily to clear the path to peace cannot absolve themselves of the responsibility for helping the war displaced. Will they rise to the occasion?

Will you Draw The Line with Us?- Photos by Damien
Conway.
Citizens from Seattle, Bellingham and beyond came together for a
coordinated national day of action to Draw The Line against fossil
fuel foolishness. Inspired by the beautiful Salish Sea
that unites our bio-region, activists are organizing to protect what
they love, building the future they envision, and stop dead in the
tracks the climate cooking corporate criminals threatening our
children's future. Native allies successfully resisting tar sands oil
extraction and transport through their ancestral lands and Youth
fighting for generational justice provided participants with the moral
compass and courage to take our activism to the next level with deepened
commitment and conviction. Honored were the 14 Montana's
who escalated resistance action by engaging in non-violent civil
disobedience sitting on the coal train's railroad right-of-way, an
escalation of the fight since last year's week-long coal export action.
From the plains, to the ports, we the people are united. We are engaged
in a struggle of paradigms, on one side is Goldman Sachs, Warren Buffet
and fossil fuel companies like Arch Coal, Peabody Energy, and Trans
Canada who profit through disregard for life and all things sacred
through uncaring extraction, exploitation, and domination. On the other
side is We The People people non-violently, steadfastly,
defending in a beautiful expression of what we love a world worthy of
passing on to future generations. Bill McKibben and Seattle Mayor Mike
McGinn who also spoke reminded us that when the People Lead, the Leaders
Will Follow. Draw The Line by joining those who share
your values and becoming active members of the numerous groups who made
this event possible: 350Seattle, Rising Tide Seattle,
Backbone Campaign, and Plant For The Planet
Seattle. Allies also present and whose contributions made the
event possible: Sierra Club,
Friends of the Earth, Washington Fair Trade Coalition,

I'd been there 20 some years earlier and back in the day it was not an issue to walk freely through the twin towns of Rock Island, Quebec & Derby Line, Vermont. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case, US Dept. of "Home Land Security" informed me that if I crossed the political border into Canada I'd be refused re-entry.....

From photographer's notes - "ARCADIA
Arcadia station with overhead all completed in both directions. They are putting on the finishing touches to the Station. Signal crews from Mass Electric were working on the gates. They had to build a small building to house all of the electronic gear that operate the Flashers and Gates.
MONROVIA STATION & PARKING GARAGE
The Parking Garage is finished and the Station appears to be finished. We were lucky to get a distant shot of the Test Car in the Station. I think it later moved West and was taken back to MTA. We saw the other Car going West on the 210 Freeway towards Sierra Madre Villa Terminal.
MONROVIA SHOPS (Div.24)
Finishing touches on the track work and the lead track in and out of the yard onto Shamrock Av.. The last of the Overhead is being installed. Shop buildings seem to be all completed.
Much work going on inside the buildings.
Things are moving fast and completion is in sight. There will maybe one or more times we go out but there is less new things to take pictures of.
PICTURE #1446, This is a wiring diagram inside one of the Crossing Gates. That is just for one gate. There are eight gates at each intersection. Also there are small gates to protect pedestrians on the sidewalks."

As Christians, our battle line is drawn clearly.
2 Corinthians 10:3-6
3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.
