Operating a safari themed resort is challenging. You are up against free places like the latest project from 80 Days (Jambo 2.0). And you are competing against the well established Kidaka Resort.
So how did the Makanyi Safari Resort from Lifestyle Inc stack up?
The Durango and Silverton Narrowgauge Railroad is a wonderful piece of history which is still being operated. Watch this to see this beauty in the mountains of Colorado:

The City of White Rock has a railway that runs along the waterfront. This single track rail line operates 24 hours a day and is operated by Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) and is used by BNSF and Amtrak passenger trains.
Burlington Northern Santa Fe, LLC is the parent company of the BNSF Railway (formerly the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway). The company is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, which is controlled by investor Warren Buffett.
History
The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation was incorporated in 1993 to facilitate the merger of Burlington Northern, Incorporated, parent of the Burlington Northern Railroad, and Santa Fe Pacific Corporation, which owned the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (Santa Fe). The corporate merger was consummated on September 22, 1995, at which point shareholders of the previous companies became shareholders of BNSF and the two companies became wholly owned subsidiaries of BNSF. In December 1996, the two holding companies and two railroads were formally merged, and in January 1998 the remaining intermediate holding company was folded into the railroad.
Robert D. Krebs of Santa Fe Pacific was president of BNSF from the merger until 1999, chief executive from the merger until 2000, and chairman from 1997 until 2002. He was succeeded in all three positions by Matthew K. Rose.
On November 3, 2009, Berkshire Hathaway made a $26 billion offer to buy the remaining 77.4% of Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation it did not already own, valuing the purchase at $34 billion. The deal, which including Berkshire's previous investment and the assumption of $10 billion in Burlington Northern debt brings the total value to $44 billion. Consummated February 12, 2010, it is the largest acquisition in Berkshire Hathaway's history.
The deal was structured so that the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation would merge with and into R Acquisition Company, LLC, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway. The deal closed on February 12, 2010, and at the same time, the now merged company changed its name to Burlington Northern Santa Fe, LLC that remains an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway.

The West Rim is located on the Native American reservation, owned and operated by the Hualapai Nation. The West Rim is most famous for its natural landscape and the Skywalk (…more on that later). At the West Rim, visitors can walk right up to the rim and peer 4,000 feet down the canyon to the Colorado River. The West Rim, while not as wide as the South Rim, is still extremely impressive and the drop to the canyon floor is almost completely vertical.
Joshua Tree
Yucca brevifolia (also known as the Joshua tree, yucca palm, tree yucca, and palm tree yucca) is a plant species belonging to the genus Yucca. It is tree-like in habit, which is reflected in its common names.
This monocotyledonous tree is native to the arid Southwestern United States, specifically California, Arizona, Utah, and Nevada, and northwestern Mexico. It is confined mostly to the Mojave Desert between 400 and 1,800 m (1,300 and 5,900 ft) elevation. It thrives in the open grasslands of Queen Valley and Lost Horse Valley in Joshua Tree National Park. Other regions with large populations of the tree can be found northeast of Kingman, Arizona, in Mohave County; and along U.S. 93 between the towns of Wickenburg and Wikieup, a route which has been designated the Joshua Tree Parkway of Arizona. The trees are abundant in Saddleback Butte State Park only 85 miles north of Downtown Los Angeles in Los Angeles County's Antelope Valley.[10] The common name Joshua tree apparently comes from Christian iconography.
MTM announced this week at SDP40 325 and GN coach 1096 were being shipped to Albia Iowa in the coming weeks for repaints.
A massive private donation is seeing that both 325 and 1096 are repainted in Great Northern orange and green.
The 325 wore the simplified orange scheme for the first few years of her existence. seen here:
www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=114373
Both will return to the roundhouse in time for the 2023 operating season, so I've heard.
Being with the "big leagues" I've mostly fallen out of touch with MTM but maintain a few connections.
Fundraisers to repaint it Big Sky Blue (plan A) were deemed not successful, and the museum is giving the option of refund, reallocation, or hold for future 325 cosmetics.
Seen here are 325 & 1096 at Osceola in October 2018, when I made my last run as a volunteer.
Looking forward to seeing the finished product in a few months.
Honestly, with the chaos that is MTM the past year, I didn't think there was a snowball's chance in hell it would happen. But, money talks and the money wanted orange, even though I, along with many others, was rooting for blue.
A westbound Union Pacific Office Car Special operating for the Board of Directors passes through colorful Red Canyon along the Colorado River between Dell and Range, Colorado, on September 28, 2000. This location is on the Dotsero Cutoff on UP’s Glenwood Springs Subdivision.
Operating in true C&NW left handed fashion, this eastbound pig train has just departed Boone after a crew change. They are passing under the old Fort Dodge, Des Moines & Southern Railway bridge on the east side of town. The Fort Dodge Line was started as an electrified interurban hauling passengers and freight. After passenger service ceased, their freight business was lucrative enough that the C&NW bought the company in the late 1960s. This part of the Fort Dodge Line has been abandoned but the right of way is still visible on Google Maps photo. Unfortunately there is no trace of the bridge left.
I am pretty sure the shadow next to me is Jim French from Dixon.

Lockey operated two AEC Regent Vs with forward-entrance bodies. Since both were always conductor-operated on stage carriage work, it is possible that a rear-entrance bus, such as this ex-Leeds Regent V, may have been obtained instead, had a suitable vehicle been available at a better price. The company did, in fact, operate an identical bus on a Daimler CSG6-30 chassis, concurrent with each of the Regent Vs (updated 26-Nov-16).

The Trona Railway operates one of the most isolate and desolate piece of track in western United States. The scenery of the line along with a full roster of EMD product fresh from the 70s help to attract many people over these empty roads to the mining town.
Clearly showing the colours of their former owners even if they are badly burned by the merciless Death Valley sun, six SDs slowly pull an empty coal train out of Trona, ready to attack the 30 miles uphill ride toward the interchange point with Union Pacific in Searles, the railway's only connection with the outside world.

The Monastery at Lébény was established between 1199 and 1203, by a nobleman, for private worship. The complex was dedicated to the Apostle Saint James the Great. Though the existing charter for approving the donations and construction was signed by Andreas II (1208), one of the walls of the church had “1206” engraved in them, which may indicate that the church was already built at that time. It is also mentioned in the RegestrumVaradiense (an important language memorial), which was made in the late cathedral chapter of the present Oradea (Nagyvárad) in the 13th century. The monastery of Lébény was attacked and burnt down several times; the first by Mongols, then the second by King Ottokar I of Bohemia; and thereafter by the Turks, which was probably in 1529 and definitely in 1683. The monastery was taken back from the Turks by the arch-abbot of Pannonhalma in 1540. He named a new abbot, though the title only existed on paper for a little bit longer than two decades. In 1563 the monastery was burnt down again for the third time and was left devoured. Presently, the only part of the complex that is still standing is the iconic three-nave Romanesque church in the middle of Lébény village. This church is one of the most important Romanesque style buildings of Hungary, which was most probably restored in the 17th century by the Jesuits, and it was the first ever Hungarian monument that was restored in the second half of the 19th century. In addition, the Romanesque church is also operating as a parish of the village.

ET42 class is dying out nowadays. It is said only 7 units are working now (some sources point only 4) and of course month by month this number will only go down. After I saw ET42-035 yesterday with coal train to Warsaw, I couldn't resist from posting this photo of the same locomotive, just from the past, when these locomotives were running almost exclusively on Coal Trunk Line.
Here, ET42-035 with open box wagons set as southbound freight train on harbour line from Gdańsk Port Północny station. June 10, 2001.

Ponieważ seria ET42 jest na kompletnym wymarciu, mówi się, że zostało już tylko kilka egzemplarzy (źródła podają między 4 a 7), tym większą gratką jest przypadkowe spotkanie takiej maszyny, jak to miało miejsce wczoraj, gdy w Warszawie Głównej Towarowej utknął "węglarz" z pociągiem do nieodległej Pragi i tamtejszej EC Żerań, prowadzony ET42-035.
Ale na fotce nie ta sytuacja, tylko zupełnie inna, sprzed lat, a leitmotivem jest ten sam egzemplarz ET42-035. Tu z węglarkami, pewnie próżnymi, jedzie najprawdopodobniej z Portu Północnego linią 226, która w tym miejscu zbliża siię do magistrali Warszawa - Gdańsk. 10 czerwca 2001 roku, czyli czasy, gdy ta seria niemal wyłącznie jeździła po Magistrali Węglowej.

Heading for Clifton Forge to make interchange with the CSX is the Buckingham Branch RR's Mountain Local. So named for operating on the west end of the old Chesapeake & Ohio Railway's Mountain Subdivision. The line once had eight tunnels between Charlottesville and Clifton Forge. Half of those were bypassed or daylighted by the C&O. Millboro Tunnel is 1,335-feet long and was completed in 1857. Brick arching replaced the original wood arching in 1891, and brick portals were added in 1893.
The Strathspey Railway operates from platform 3 of Network Rail's Aviemore railway station. Until 1998 the railway's southern terminus was Aviemore Speyside about 300 yards (270 m) further north. Aviemore Speyside is no longer in regular use, although its platform has been retained as a fallback in case of problems with access to the Network Rail station. Coaling of the steam locomotives is carried out at a facility constructed in 2014 on the site of the former Aviemore Speyside station building. Its signal box, which was formerly at Garve West and transported from there in 1986, was retained when the station itself shut. New features are gradually being brought into service at the Aviemore site controlled using traditional British Railways mechanical semaphore signalling.
From Aviemore, the line passes the four-road locomotive shed which was constructed by the Highland Railway in 1898. The original purpose of the shed was to house locomotives for the lines to Perth and Inverness (via Carrbridge and Forres). It was common for original Highland Railway engines to be allocated to the shed and in London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) days it housed Stanier Black Fives, Pickersgill Bogies (Caledonian Railway), Caley 439 tanks, Caley 812 classes, and Fairburn tanks. In British Railways days the shed was allocated the shed code '60B'. These days the engines that are in traffic on the Strathspey Railway still bear the 60B shedplate on their smokebox. The shed has a 60-foot (18 m) turntable, originally from Kyle of Lochalsh.
There is also a carriage maintenance shed which was erected and opened for use in 2005; this shed allows the railway's volunteers and staff to work on its fleet of coaches indoors. On the opposite side of the line is a three road carriage storage shed erected and opened in 2011; this allows the coaches to be stored under cover and protected from the weather.
The former engine crew hostel, called Spey Lodge, stands just to the north. This building was erected by the LMS during the Second World War to provide railway crews with a safe and cheap option for accommodation whilst rostered to work locally. The British Railways Staff Association For Scotland then took it on to provide holiday accommodation for railway staff and their families. It was saved by the Strathspey Railway Company during the 1970s and gradually the facilities have been upgraded by volunteers. Spey Lodge now fulfils its original role again, providing hostel accommodation for engine crews and other volunteers working on the railway.
After Spey Lodge, the railway passes the site of the new Aviemore Hospital then crosses Dalfaber level crossing, an Automatic Open Crossing, Locally Monitored (AOCL). This level crossing was not originally part of the railway, but was installed after the development of the Dalfaber Estate in the 1980s. After crossing the road and passing the Cairngorm Brewery the line climbs through Granish Moor. This heather moor affords views of Cairngorm Mountain and the line runs parallel to the Speyside Way, a popular walking and cycling route. Once into the forest at the north end of the moor, the line descends past Boat of Garten golf course and into the village of Boat of Garten itself.

Operating across the old Rock Island mainline from Blue Island, IL to Council Bluffs, IA the Iowa Interstate can rightly claim the mantle of successor on the heart of that once 'Mighty Fine Line.' I truly did not expect to be so lucky as to see one of their trains in the short time I allotted for my first visit to this famous location. So this was second only to the UP heritage unit in terms of my excitement here.
Anyway, I figured another frame was worth adding to my archives so here it is.
In this post I told the story of my first visit to Blue Island and the crazy variety show of trains.
Here is the sixth one I listed, as a pair of Iowa Interstate GE ES44ACs thump across the CN diamonds after crossing the bridge across the Calumet Sag Channel on Indiana Harbor Belt Main 1 at MP 15.2. I'm not sure where this train was headed or what it's symbol was but it appeared to be almost all empty ethanol tanks presumably headed back to Iowa via the old Rock Island Line.
