CSXT Waycross to Miami train Q453 charges through Okeechobee pastthe Walpole Feed Mill (which is a railroad customer) at about MP SX908.9 on CSXT's Auburndale Subdivision. This freight and counterpart Q452 are the only scheduled through trains on the southern end of this line account Florida East Coast has cornered the intermodal market thanks to their shorter, faster and superior route.
The Auburndale Sub is CSXT's mainline to Miami, and is interesting in that it was one of the last major railroads buit in the US. The 204 mile line from Coleman was chartered as the Florida Western and Northern Railroad (an SAL subsidiary) in April 1924 during the period of the great Florida land boom and construction began shortly after. The line was championed by Seaboard president S. Davies Warfield who had an ambitious plan to connect the Seaboard network to the South Florida region, which for almost thirty years had been the exclusive domain of the Florida East Coast Railway. The line's final spike was placed on January 21, 1925 and four days later, a special section of the Seaboard's Orange Blossom Special ran to West Palm Beach officially inaugurating service. After terminating in West Palm Beach for two years it was extended to Miami, with SAL rails eventually reaching the southern tip of Florida at Homestead.

Just another frame from this fun lucky bonus train from my recent trip to the Sunshine State.

There's only so much lego you can pick up from the floor before you start playing with it. I rarely seem to get pastthe door and windows these days - too busy to build an entire house!
As long as I have just posted some autumn shots above Lyons in Apple Valley, I decided to dip into an old trip around this old bypass route when I found this original shot of a fence next to the road. Now I can chuck this pseudo-HDR in with my categorized, finished edits. Not only is this an environmental fence, it will be part of the environment before too long. It looks like the environment is still in charge out here. Watch out for rusted nails! While it may keep sensible trespassers out, it has yet to stop a critter from venturing forth from the hills above the road. It's almost like a river runs through this valley!
This shot was on a rather mellow fallish day. This shot is north on the Apple Valley road. Tihs fall, I extended my stash of unedited Apple Valley snaps on my hard disk. This shot screams autumn's slow creep along the back-counrty byway.
Pictures here are everywhere. I just threw this series in for yet another break. I returned and found my class of shots at the vertical end to the Colorado plains. It's clear that random life can always manage a foothold on these cliffs. These are the finger prints of Colorado-tough, rough and tumble plant life. Here, I am once again adding to my massive stash of captures to edit. At least this is green and I snapped away. Next? Let's continue up the road pastthe Antelope and Nelson Ranch Roads turnoff.
Going back to my recent ride through Newstead Abbey Park, this is the view from the grotto behind the Upper Lake Cascade. The current low flow pastthe window allowed this view, of the Abbey.

The Perlach Tower thatstands rooted in uprightness surely preaches tothem of that righteousness that should characteriseevery councillor. How strangely silent is the great central streetof Augsburg! There is scarcely a sound of wheels,and hardly a carriage of any kind is visible. Inthe outskirts industry has its home, and greatfactories give employment to thousands of work-men, but on this great historic street all is silentand leisurely.

Everywhere in this city wefind homes and haunts and traces of the Fuggers.In St. Ulrichs we admire the richly decoratedFugger Chapel; near the Town Hall we pass thestatue of Jacob Fugger, but best of all we discoverwhat is called the Fuggerei. This is a littleenclosed village with four gates, a fountain, andone hundred little dwellings, and the Chapel ofSt. Marks, founded by Marcus Fugger in 1584.Each dwelling has four apartments that are givento worthy poor Cathohcs, who must, however, payfour marks a year as rent.

At the rim village, I see a sign point to a trail. Despite a stinking hangover, I set off pastthe sunbathers at the lodge sipping cocktails. No really.
Yes, I had a hangover; the last major hangover I have had. The previous night I had gone for dinner at the camp's restaurant, only for them to forget about me and give my tableto someone else.
When I pointed this out they were appologetic and said I could eat in the bar and they would upgrade my steak free of charge.
As I sipped a beer at the bar, I talked to the guy next to me; he was local, but came up with his van to camp several times a year. His name was Bob, and he bought me a beer or two.
The steak, or half a cow, came and I struggled to finish it, and had to turn down the free dessert.
Bob bought me a Mai Tai; i bought him one back. And so on.
So, my dawn start was delayed by several hours and I was very dehydrated. I bought water and a huge bag of trail mix for the hike.
