The Oak Leaf Trail Zip Line connects Estabrook and Brown Deer Park along an abandoned rail line. The section of the trail marked in red on the map above, between Mill Road and Silver Spring Drive, is where WE Energies has applied herbicide and clear-cut brush along their right-of-way. Trail users and residents of Crestwood Subdivision have health and safety concerns about the work, and the debris left behind.

South Wimbledon Underground Station (Northern Line), 1 May 2023. The station was opened by the City and South London Railway (C&SLR) in September 1926 on the Morden extension southwards from the C&SLR’s Camden Town/Euston – Clapham Common line, first proposed before WWI. The intention was to name the station Merton Grove but on opening it was called South Wimbledon. However, from 1928 South Wimbledon (Merton) appeared on tube maps (and may have been on platform roundels from opening) but not on the station façade which continued to show simply South Wimbledon. In any case, from about 1950 the Merton was dropped from all signage and maps.
The Chief Architect of the Underground Electric Railways of London (the umbrella company for the C&SLR) was the experienced Charles Heap who presented his designs of the proposed stations to the General Manager of the UERL, Frank Pick. But Pick did not like them, thinking them too conservative. Unusually, he commissioned the Architect Charles Holden of the practice Adams, Holden & Pearson to design the stations which must have been a real snub to Heaps. Nonetheless, there seems to have developed a good working relationship between the two notwithstanding Holden holding the predominant position with Pick.
South Wimbledon station is typical of Holden’s first work for the UERL being in Modernist style and clad in Portland Stone and a three part glazed screen in the centre of the double height façade divided by two columns with capitals which are a three-dimensional depiction of the Underground roundel, whilst the central part of the glazed screen contains a large roundel. The station was built with a shop each side, again a typical Holden feature. The station is Grade II listed.
Pictured is an original sign on the southbound platform assuring passengers they are on the Morden platform.
60103 Flying Scotsman brought the DBC operated 1Z87 ‘Scotsman Salute’ to York from Kings Cross. 90028 was to take the tour southbound and was named ‘Sir William McAlpine’ and painted DB red for the occasion.
After the naming ceremony in the National Railway Museum main hall, both 60103 and 90028 were lined up briefly for photos together before the Skoda would take the railtour back to Kings Cross.
60008 (now in long term storage at Toton) was named ‘Sir William McAlpine’. The name has been transferred to 90028, although new nameplates were used.

High Line used to be an elevated freight rail line extending south along the industrial warehouses in the Chelsea district. Closed in 1980, it was renovated as an elevated park and re-opened in two stages in 2009 and 2011, to coincide with the area's urban renewal.
This section allows visitors to sit down, and have a view up the street.
The A4, Bittern looked in fine form on the Watercress Line, but was not overly taxed by the 5 coach load. Here, she is seen between Ropley and Alton. 12th Sept 2008.

After retrieving empty centerbeams from Lake States Lumber, Soo 4450 and 4424 ease up to the end of track at CP Rice's Point Yard in Duluth on Feb. 5, 2012. Once the pair of GP38-2s run around their cars here at the yard, they will continue switching on this Sunday afternoon. CP usually runs a train to Duluth every Sunday morning, but usually they don't stay on duty and work the yard.

The High Line is an elevated park converted from an old freight railroad that ran above the streets of New York City. The elevated railroad lifted trains 30 feet in the air and removed the dangerous freight trains from the streets of Manhattan.
The non-profit, Friends of the High Line, worked with mayor Michael Bloomberg and city council to reverse the decision to demolish the High Line and instead convert it into a public park, and also led the design process of the transformation.

Bunker SJ 6
The Mannerheim Line was a defensive fortification line on the Karelian Isthmus built by Finland against the Soviet Union. During the Winter War it became known as the Mannerheim Line, after Field Marshal Baron Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim. The line was constructed in two phases: 1920–1924 and 1932–1939. By November 1939, when the Winter War began, the line was by no means complete.
The line was fortified with several bunkers that are still left.
