“How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank.
Here will we sit, and let the sounds of music
Creep in our ears; soft stillness, and the night
Become the touches of sweet harmony.” (William Shakespeare)
Float planes lined up on their moorings on the west side of Schwatka Lake in Southern Yukon. I enjoy clibing the hills around this lake for a quick workout and a view. The past week, I've been hiking the lake quite often, and I have ben astonished at just how many float planes are coming and going. It's a busy place!
Photo taken with the Canon EOS R and RF 24-105mm f/4.0 L. Finished image processed from raw in Adobe Lightroom with basic adjustments only. This photo is not cropped, no creative filters have been applied, and nothing has been added or removed from the frame.
These aren't very good photos as I took them from about 600/700 meters away and it had just started to snow quite heavily. But they show the extent of the damage to the railway line caused by the landslide of the spoil heap from Hatfield Colliery at Stainforth, Nr Doncaster.
This shows just how far the tracks have been pushed outwards away from the spoil heap and out of line. This is usually a very straight stretch of track.
Outbound and inbound Metro transit red line trains pass each other in Washington, DC's Brookland section while CSX's Q135 lumbers westbound with containers for the terminal in Ohio. The old brown and silver Metro trains are being replaced with new trains from Kawasaki which have an all silver with black ends look and a new stylized version of the old Metro logo on their flanks.
Y es que algo tendría que pasar bajo mis pies después de una buena caminata y una buena espera. Aprovisionado si iba, con lo que hice guardia en el puente metálico sobre la línea de mercancías de los Ferrocarriles. Y aunque hasta que no estuvo cerca no logré verlo del todo, si es cierto que la luz del foco me dio el aviso y solo tuve que esperar el momento adecuado. Pregunto yo - Y de donde sale esa linda ramita que no logré ver antes?. La cuestión, que la pedazo locomotora pasa bajo mis pies con un enorme y largo tren de plataformas portacoches. De verdad os digo, es increíble la sensación y hasta que no pasaron varios segundos no fui capaz de soltar el dedo del disparador. Apuntar también que en mitad del portacoches, otro tren, este, él cargometro de SEAT se me cruzaba en la foto por la línea de arriba. Menudo momento.

Unique Wickham Railbus no. 999507 (Laboratory 20) in British Rail Research Department livery on the Lavender line.
The “Elliott Track Recording Coach” was commonly referred to as the 'Wickham Railbus' and was built in 1958 by D. Wickham of Ware, Hertfordshire.
It was a self-propelled four-wheel railbus No: DB999507 with one driven axle and had a Meadows 97HP horizontal underfloor engine. It was used as a track recording car by the Chief Civil Engineer's Department from around 1958, before the BR Research Division was formed and was fitted with an early computer system supplied by Elliott Brothers (London) Ltd (Elliott Automation).
The Wickham was sold to the East Lancashire Railway in 1997 and later moved to the Middleton Railway on 11th June 2003. It is currently based at the Lavender Line in Isfield, East Sussex and is now privately owned.

The Lavender Line formed part of the Lewes to Uckfield Railway when it was opened on 18 October 1858. Within 12 months of its opening, the branch had been integrated into the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LB&SCR) to safeguard the company’s interests east of its London to Brighton main line. Ten years from its opening, Isfield saw through workings from Brighton to Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge, via a new Uckfield–Groombridge link. The Bluebell Railway originally branched off the Lavender Line at Culver Junction, near Culver Farm between Lewes and Barcombe Mills. This junction closed in 1958 with the closure of the East Grinstead to Lewes line.
Following its closure in 1969 the track was removed in 1970 and the station at Isfield was neglected and became overgrown. After fourteen years of disuse, it was auctioned in June 1983 by British Rail and sold for £60,500 to Dave and Gwen Milham who restored the station and signal box and laid the first sections of track. Ownership of the station passed from the Milham family in 1991 and it is run by the Lavender Line Preservation Society.
The line was named 'The Lavender Line' with a historical connection in mind: A.E. Lavender and Sons were the local coal merchants who had operated from the station yard

Who's afraid of all those nasty ol' EMFs?
I owe the title to my wife Sammy. She walked through the room when I was working on this, and all she said was "party line" and continued on out of the room. I was going to call it "high powered convention," but I like her title better.
Then again, maybe "party line"doesn't mean anything, or means something political to many of you Flickrites who weren't around in the days of telephone party lines, when several people shared one phone line, and you could listen in on the conversations of neighbors on your line. Of course, we never did that...☺

The Watercress Line is the marketing name of the Mid-Hants Railway, a heritage railway in Hampshire, England, running 10 miles (16 km) from New Alresford to Alton where it connects to the National Rail network. The line gained its popular name in the days that it was used to transport locally grown watercress to markets in London. The railway currently operates regular scheduled services, along with dining trains, real ale trains and numerous special events throughout the year.
