66529 heading 4L85 12:28 Doncaster EPT - Felixstowe North FLT out of the new dive under at Marholm Junction near Peterborough. It would seem that on this date there was an imbalance with the flow of containers heavily weighted in one direction.
As this engineering project has only recently been completed, the general layout is unusually clean, tidy and vegetation-free. 04/04/2022.

In October 2005 there was a ‘Plandampf’ event in Rhineland-Pfalz region of Germany. This entails certain local services being turned over to steam traction.
Twice a day, the small junction station of Winden would see parallel departures, one heading north to Neustadt and the other up the branch line to Bad Bergzabern.
Despite the gloomy skies, it was still quite a sight.

Tonight from the Highline. This is a repurposed old rail line that went along the west side piers in NYC. The high line was not as old as it seemed, built in the late 20s. so it had less than 50 years of activity. After almost being demolished, it has been turned into an attraction. A place to stroll.
Visited Bewdley today, mainly to see the Severn Valley Railway train. Who doesn't love steam trains?
I find it weird how they can make train tracks so straight and so perfectly inline. I know metal holds its shape, but these tracks are pretty old and for them to have lasted is amazing!
Feel free to follow me on Twitter. You stalker.

Tiger Leaping Gorge (虎跳峡) is a canyon on the Yangtze River – locally called the Golden Sands River (金沙江) – located 60 km north of Lijiang City, Yunnan in southwestern China. It is part of the Three Parallel Rivers of Yunnan Protected Areas World Heritage Site.
Geography
Around 15 km in length, the gorge is located where the river passes between 5,596 metre Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (玉龙雪山) and 5,396 m Haba Xueshan (哈巴山) in a series of rapids under steep 2000 metre cliffs. Legend says that in order to escape from a hunter, a tiger jumped across the river at the narrowest point (still 25 metres wide), hence the name.
Administratively, the river in this area forms the border between Yulong Naxi Autonomous County of Lijiang City (right bank) and Shangri-La County of Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (left bank).
Tiger Leaping Gorge is a contender for the world's deepest river canyon, depending on the exact definition used.[citation needed] The inhabitants of the gorge are primarily the indigenous Naxi people, who live in a handful of small hamlets. Their primary subsistence comes from grain production and foreign hikers. The gorge is not considered navigable. In the early 1980s, four rafters attempted to go down the gorge and were never seen again. In 1986, the first known successful attempt to sail through the gorge was made by the first expedition to float down the entire length of the Yangtze, starting at the river's high source at the Gelandandong glacier lake.
The area was officially opened to foreign tourists in 1993, but had attracted adventurous backpackers already in the 1980s. Officials plan to improve the existing trails and roads, bringing tour buses and more development. These plans arouse highly varied reactions among the local population, from strong opposition to strong support.
Natural crystals are mined from areas in and surrounding the Tiger Leaping Gorge.
Roads and Trails
Hiking the length of the gorge is possible. The hiking path ("the high road") is well-maintained and marked, although sometimes narrow, and is used by the Naxi as part of everyday life. This trail is longer than the lower road, approximately 22 kilometres (14 mi), but more varied. It features a variety of micro-ecosystems, waterfalls, and a fair number of guesthouses for trekkers. These guesthouses are not well heated, which combined with the unpredictable nature of high mountain weather makes this trek unadvisable during the rainy season, although in recent years the raining periods got shorter and it got possible to hike there again.
The lower road, stretching about 195 km (121 mi) from Qiaotou through the Gorge, is a stretch of pavement (until recently a simple mule track) crossed by several waterfalls, and frequently beset by rockslides. Some portions of the road have been known to disappear into the river below. The road follows the Yangtze, so there are more views of the river, and a stronger sense of being in a gorge than on the upper trail. Where the high road descends to meet the lower road, one can climb down to the river near the Tiger Leaping Stone, the point at which the tiger is said to have leaped. At the time being (July 2010) the gorge is closed, because a new lower road is being built. But individuals are allowed to use the upper trail. No busses go through the gorge.
Environmental Destruction
Although Tiger Leaping Gorge is an essential part of the World Heritage protected "Three Parallel Rivers of Yunnan", the Chinese government has floated proposals for a hydroelectric dam on the Jinsha River since 2004. However, in 2007, the Yunnan provincial government scrapped this project.
Details of the scrapped project follow: Construction has already begun on the other 12 dams of the same project which lie just outside the boundaries of the heritage area, even though it has not been approved by the State Council. Media reports suggested that the Lijiang city government is waiving standard procedures in order to facilitate the project.
The project would displace up to 100,000 people to the north, mainly the Naxi minority, to a Tibetan area with harsh climate and the staples are such unfamiliar crops as barley and potatoes; virtually stop the flow of the upper Yangtze River, and irreparably alter the landscape of the Tiger Leaping Gorge. The project was abandoned in Dec 2007. This project was also related to the Three Gorges Dam and the South-North Water Transfer Project, which would cause massive environmental damage and the destruction of thousands of cultural sites.
There was a steepness in the darkness
I wanted to cut it like a comet crash
Hit the city, where you had echoed from a flash
Made it all seem not so bad
'Cause we were parallel lines running through the whole sky
And even in the low light, we were aligned
'Cause we were parallel lines, separate the whole time
But even in the divide, you and I
Don't dare repeat this
But when I lay alone that night
I let the city see me cry
And in my weakness
I wish you hadn't closed your eyes
Crossed the city, open mine
'Cause we were parallel lines, running through the whole sky
And even in the low light, we were aligned
'Cause we were parallel lines, separate the whole time
But even in the divide, you and I
I watched you comb your hands through the light
Every detail spilled from your outline
All at once you filled my eyes
And I could see it all for the first time
'Cause we were parallel lines running through the whole sky
(The whole sky)
And even in the low light, we were aligned
(We were aligned)
'Cause we were parallel lines, separate the whole time
(Whole time)
And even in the divide, you and I

So many parallel lines, so many lightings and light, aaahhh, aren't we lucky?
No shadow without light!
Thank you, M, (*_*)

One of the more anticipated opportunities of the weekend looked a bit shaky whether it might even happen thanks to shunting problems at Quorn, but the parallel run of the public Afghan Express with NM 25 and the enthusiast train headed by Yx 141 occurred without a hitch - and with great results!

On the way to bed, so a last minute pic with the iPhone. I need to make time for a decent photo of the day!
Uploaded with Darkslide.
In case of parallel viewing, the size of photograph is decided by the distance of eyes and we have to bear with a small photograph.
Then I propose an asymmetrical parallel format like the photograph of looking.
If you see the photograph with a parallel methods over the both ends of 3 fingers upraised at hand, you should be able to do corporal vision also with a big photograph.
Please try here. You can see a bigger (A4 size) photograph than the upper one here.
