One of the highlights on the east slope of Tehachapi pass was this sturdy signal bridge, a popular frame for photographers.
Mr. Harrop caught Santa Fe 5254 East ducking under the structure, marching toward Mojave, California with an all EMD consist.

Heber Valley Railroad's Lakeside Limited is nine miles into its two hour journey along Deer Creek Reservoir as it approaches the runaround track at Wallsburg, Utah on Sept. 13, 2024.
This former B&O GP9 is a good stand in for the many Rio Grande GP9s that traversed the Provo Canyon Branch in the 1950s and 60s.
At 5:08 p.m., September 24, 2025, the UP OCS has exited Bootleger Canyon and Tunnel and is heading north (timetable east) toward Brendel. The train is in long shadows at mile 24, about to enter an extended vertical-walled rock cut.
Doc and I have spent a lot of time along the Yukon River over the past 44 years. Just a short distance south of Whitehorse you will find a narrow road leading to Miles Canyon. It is well worth the drive. The scenery is spectacular, and you get to cross over the river on a wooden suspension footbridge. That in itself is a thrill, (especially if you are afraid of heights) - and looking down into the swirling Yukon River below, can be just a tad intimidating as well. See those trails along the canyon? You are free to roam all over the area, but you best be careful, because if you get too close to the edge you would disappear in a few seconds.
**1898 The Gold Rush
During the Klondike Gold Rush, the thousands of stampeders travelling down the Yukon River to Dawson - Miles Canyon and the Whitehorse Rapids were the most treacherous obstacles on the entire route. Canyon City, at the upstream end of the canyon, was the place where people stopped to plan their next move. Many unloaded their boats and laboriously portaged their goods.
By June 1898 a huge bottleneck had developed at Canyon City. Nearly 300 boats had been wrecked in the rapids, and five people had drowned; North-West Mounted Police Inspector Samuel Steele confessed: "why more casualties have not occurred is a mystery to me." Steele issued an order that skilled pilots had to be hired to take the boats through.
By then, a tramway had been built on the east bank of the river. It was eight km long and ran from Canyon City to the foot of the rapids, just across from the present site of downtown Whitehorse, hauling goods on horse-drawn cars for 3 cents per pound. A rival tram was also built on the west bank of the river. A small settlement developed at Canyon City, and a townsite was even surveyed there. Although it thrived for a short time, by 1900 the White Pass railway was completed to Whitehorse, and Canyon City had lost its reason for existence. Of the many modes of transportation developed during the gold rush, the most practical was the White Pass & Yukon Route, a narrow-gauge railway connecting Skagway, Alaska, at tidewater, with Whitehorse, at the head of navigation on the Yukon River.

From a week's family vacation in a rented house in Skagen, Denmark - April 01, 2021.
The photo is taken at the Raabjerg Mile area (a huge area of sand drift) south-west of the town.
Utilizing a three-mile long controlled siding to stay clear of the mainline, Nebraska Central's train for Grand Island is ready to depart for Grand Island with a paltry six car train this day.
Råbjerg Mile is a migrating coastal dune between Skagen and Frederikshavn, Denmark. It is the largest moving dune in Northern Europe with an area of around 1 km² (0.4 mi²) and a height of 40 m (130 ft). The dune contains a total of 4 million m³ of sand.

Twenty mile river image taken during low tide. As ugly as the mud is , I think the patterns that are left in the mud by the receding tide are beautiful.
This point near Bell Buoy Beach in northern Tasmania marks the beginning of a rocky reef. As the name suggests it extends out to sea and along the coast for two miles. It is one of the reasons the Low Head Lighthouse was built to warn shipping.
Ice stretches for miles along the east shore of Bear Lake at Cisco Beach, Utah. I stacked two photos to add the storm clouds over the lake.
KCS 2 heads West toward KC on the KCS Mexico Sub between Marshall and Blackburn, Missouri. In a few miles, just West of Blackburn, the front of KCS 2 would meet the bumper of a vehicle, stopping and delaying the train for a few hours. (The driver of the car had no injuries.)
As far as I can tell this is either a Golden (or yellow) dung fly (Scathophaga stercoraria) or a Helina Abdominalis fly, if anyone knows which for sure.....then I'd love to know. Olloclip macro @ 14x, handheld, Hisy remote, tweaked in 'Photos' on Mac and Snapseed on iPad Pro.
