All is quiet at Reading & Northern's North Reading Junction. The classic "retro" switch targets and Reading-style blue and white signage that R&N uses are a nice touch.

When I moved to Alaska 40 years ago - the Alaska highway was over 1500 miles of rough gravel. Prudent speed then was about 15 MPH towing an RV. Some sections of the roads surface were coal. When it rained and we traveled over that coal, our vehicle and travel trailer became black - but on the positive side - the noise was less, and we could actually get up to around 30 MPH. In those days it was a long and challenging trip. Today people cruise along at 55 to 65 MPH, and grumble when they come upon a section of road like what you see in this image. Usually it is construction and repair, and at most is 20 to 25 miles in length.
Hubby and I never complain with beautiful scenery surrounding us like what you see in this image. We have traveled over the Alaskan Highway 55 times in our 40 years in the far north - and will do so again this summer. Hope to see some Flickr friends out there.

This is my 2,000th photo posted to Flickr.
Beautiful old church located in St. Johnsbury, Vermont. Sorta got sidetracked (Excuse for being lost) and stumbled across this and the Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium all on the same street in this gorgeous city.

For a change of scenery a couple of weeks ago Judy and I decided to drive over to Norfolk for lunch and then spent the afternoon travelling along the coast and taking a few pictures.
Thornham is on the north Norfolk coast, about four miles from Hunstanton. In days gone by - before the inlet silted up - there was quite an important port which was used - among other things - to unload coal brought down the coast from Newcastle. The building on the left was used to store the coal.
The small boat appears to have had its last day at sea, and unless a substantial amount of remedial work is done it will simply become another rotting hulk on the salt marshes.
Buffalo Bill Reservoir’s blanket of ice still glistens even under cloudy skies., Carter Mountain risea behind the lake. The reservoir lies west of Cody in Buffalo Bill State Oark.
North Berwick (/'berik/; Scottish Gaelic:
Bearaig a Tuath) is a seaside town and former royal burgh in East Lothian, Scotland. It is situated on the south shore of the Firth of Forth, approximately 20 miles (32 km) east northeast of Edinburgh. North Berwick became a fashionable holiday resort in the nineteenth century because of its two sandy bays, the East (or Milsey) Bay and the West Bay, and continues to attract holidaymakers. Golf courses at the ends of each bay are open to visitors.
North Union Canal which runs between Provo Canyon through Orem and on to Pleasant Grove, Utah County Utah. For the Crazy Tuesday Challenge: Water and/or rain.
Union Pacific 6938 East with a Hot Piggyback train is passing the approach signal to North Powder at Mile Post 319.8 (yes, I know the photo shows MP 319.9 that is for the other direction) on Union Pacific’s Huntington Subdivision of the Portland Area. The train is just coming out of the 25 mph trackage through the Powder River Canyon. By the smile on the locomotive engineer’s face, he in starting to accelerate and picking it up to 70 mph. As a side note, when I worked the Mojave Subdivision we had 70 mph tracks, I can recognize the same smile through any zoom lens.
UP 6938 is a Survivor, (unless Uncle Jim downsized that too!) setting in front of Jenks Locomotive Facility in North Little Rock, Arkansas. 6938 was one of forty-seven units built by EMD starting in 1969, because of that they were called “Centennials”

North Lees Hall near Hathersage.
In 1845 Charlotte Bronte visited North Lees and it became the principal inspiration for Thornfield Hall in the novel ‘Jane Eyre’.
A 35mm slide image, originally shared almost a decade ago, that has brushed up nicely courtesy of the improved digital darkroom skills (and software packages) I've managed to pick up over the last few years.
In this shot an Eastern Region Rail Rover and an overnight train from London Kings Cross provided for a dawn arrival in Newcastle Central, where first light catches a class 03 shunter at the eastern end of the station ready for the day's action. The Keep, a must-do destination for rail snappers visiting Newcastle back then, stands imposingly in the background.
As ever, exposure was a bit finger in the air with the Zodel F Lightmeter (a 60's vintage hand-me-down from my Dad), but two or three bracketed shots for safety managed to yield a result.
I had a couple of these ERRR's over the years and they provided superb rail photography opportunities for this East Midlander who had rarely ventured further east than Grantham.
This version should go to full-screen quite well. The original has been deleted.

CSX Q692 crosses over the switch at North Elkhorn and onto the Big Sandy Subdivision. At one time, Elkhorn City was a major interchange point between the Clinchfield Railroad, and the Chesapeake and Ohio, and was home to several industries, an engine terminal, and a wye. Nowadays, the point where the two roads merged is now a lowly passing siding and small yard and coal tipple primarily used for car storage.
The weather vane on the roof of my shed. She's been looking into the wind for about thirty years. She's survived wind, rain, snow and kids with BB guns. When I put her there I made sure the cardinal points were oriented correctly so I'm pretty sure I know which way the wind is blowing. Enjoy Flickr Friday and thanks for any views, faves and comments.

Beginning a series of posts that have little in common except that they were taken two or more years ago.
From Wikipedia:
The North American porcupine (Erethizon dorsatum) is a large quill-covered rodent in the New World porcupine family. It is the second largest rodent in North America after the North American beaver.
The word "porcupine" comes from the middle or old French word porcespin, which means 'thorn pig'.
We found this prickly guy/gal in Arapaho National Wildlife Refuge near Walden, Colorado.
