Quad Cities

Numerous quad tracks can be seen running over the hill here that vanish in the morning cloud. This is rough sheep faming country near Fruid. A lovely morning in the hills.
Iowa Interstate's eastbound CBBI rolls through the yard and past the makeshift corporate sign at 44th street in Rock Island, IL. A nice chilly day for 'fanning, but sadly, not much action, and not the leader I was hoping for.
Derby's centre for the arts, this is the corner of the building ... lots of visual arts going on, as well as the international photographic Format Festival directed by Louise Clements and supported by many significant photographers from all over the world. Still waiting for my invite :D

Four men on a bicycle for four. My restoration and colorization of George H. van Norman´s 1898 photo in the Library of Congress archive.
The Classic Space Bubble Quad was a fast and fun way to travel across the moon. Its big tyres and independent suspension could easily cope with the deepest craters or roughest moon rocks. The bubble canopy afforded unrivalled visibility, though nobody ever worked out where the door was...

This is the second week of taking the photo I submitted to the group Fotosondag (Photo Sunday) the theme there this week was Advent. I put the post processing to this frame to make it a Sliders Sunday shot. This way one can compare the changes easily since they are side by side in my photostream. Oh and by the way it was only one candle I could come up with so I would turn it and move the camera over and then blend the four shots together.
Passing the site of the old Castle Bromwich station, 70809, 70817, 70815 and 70808 lead 6X50 Westbury Down Yard to Bescot Up Engineers Sidings.
KCS 2971 leads CPKC's KD70 near the Water Works on Davenport's east side after returning from a run up the Eldridge Branch. They will cool their heels here for a little bit while 252 heads north with a KCS ACe just out of view to the right.
KCS road power is a common sight on the former CP side of the railroad now. However, the local power is still quite segregated. 2971 is one of the first KCS geep to hold down a regular assignment up here. When I returned a week later, KCS 2847 also appeared. It's only a matter of time before the geeps get as mixed as the road power and this is just the beginning of a lot of change to come. So enjoy those multiple unit KCS locals while you can, because the solo ECO's invasion is coming.
CN train L50881-20, the local that serves the large Quad Graphics printing plant at Lomira, Wisconsin, just south of Fond du Lac, heads back north towards town after finishing up its work just after sunset.
Power for the local today is a pair of veteran CN SD40-2s, CN 5266 and 5268 built in 1975.
Tour through the sand dunes near Langstrand in Namibia.
I had to put in a new roll of film so the rest of the group are a bit miffed with waiting, hence the 80s album cover poses.
Vista del Great Court del Trinity College a Cambridge (també n'hi ha de famosos a Oxford i a Dublin). D'aquà han sortit una bona pila de premis nobel, aixà com cientifics encara més famosos i anteriors a aquests premis, com ara Isaac Newton o Francis Bacon.

===========================================
The Great Court at Trinity College, Cambridge. This very important academic institution has had among their alumni tens of Nobel Prize winers, and even older World famous scientifics, like Isaac Newton or Francis Bacon.
I don't know if that is related to the naming of the 1st atomic test as 'Trinity', but leading names in atomic phisics like Rutherford and Bohr also were Trinity alumni.

While passing through the Quad Cities on I-80, I saw a heads up on here referencing the train seen here rolling through Cammanche. After some quick real-life math class work in my head, I figured that it'd be hitting Le Claire about the same time that I would, and I was not wrong!
My wife dropped me off to run up the hill to the gas station, and just about that time, this great looking KCS Tier IV GEVO came around the corner towards me! This is a 760 train that runs as needed with auto racks from Cottage Grove, MN (SW of the Twin Cities) to IFG in KCMO along the old KCS mainline.
The Belle may be out of place here on the old Milwaukee Road main, but no more so than SOO or CP, and so long as it's looking good, I'll take it! Soon enough, they'll all be gone. For future reference, this was at MP 179.12 in Le Claire, and for those unaware of the geography, the Mississippi River is about 50 yards to my right.
DME 4006 leads a northbound local underneath the Iowa Interstate on its way to Le Claire and Clinton.

With 50+ MPH winds blowing, hard enough to knock anyone down, CN's Quad Local goes about its' business near the east end of Byron, WI. CN's locals are blessed with all kinds of neat second hand motive power, as this ex-DT&I and MoPac lash can attest to
