In fact, the likelihood of two people sharing identical fingerprints is estimated to be less than one in 64 billion. This means it would likely take more than a million years for two people with identical fingerprints to appear by chance.......

Out in the rain last night near the paper mill my little town was founded. Getting a feel for how I might want to capture this place over the year.

La parroquia de San Blas fue fundada en 1571, creada para los indígenas cuando los conquistadores trazaron Quito, con su deseo de convertir a todas las personas al catolicismo. Hasta comienzos del siglo XX, la plaza marcaba el límite norte de la ciudad. Cuenta con una sencilla iglesia que junto con San Sebastián, es la más vieja de Quito.

I am all for getting people into the hobby, and seeing this many people in Durand, a place that used to have many dedicated visitors, is great. However, they were all on the wrong side of the light for a returning GLC unit potash train for HESR they got from CSX in Howell. For a short time, this GLC extra was known as CSX Z624-13, but, back on home rails in a few moments, it passes the depot on a wonderful late fall day.

I finally got out and took a few pictures!

Listening The Smile …🎼🎶… again, again ——- I quit
My head is lit

This is my stop
This is the end of the trip
With their short run to Berry Plastics complete, the crew of Arkansas-Oklahoma (A-OK) Super-7 #4098 (aka "Wyatt") has run up the west side of the UP connector at McAlester, OK and tied down for the rest of the day. The 4093 (aka "Reed") is parked right where they left it and two of three former BNSF B40-8Ws are parked in the yard to the distant left. That boom truck is kinda nice too.
4093 started life as Western Pacific U23B #2255 and 4098 started life as WP U23B #2260. After rebuilding, both spent time on the Monongahela, Conrail, and Norfolk Southern before getting painted in this passable rendition of the Rock Island scheme. Most appropriate since the A-OK operates part of the Rock Island's former Choctaw route from Memphis to Tucumcari.

De la época colonial y de las primeras edificaciones luego de la fundación española de la ciudad de Quito, 1534. Es una casa emblemática situada en la calle de las Siete Cruces (García Moreno 1773 y Galápagos). Está dentro del inventario de construcciones y monumentos históricos del Ilustre Municipio de Quito que forman parte del Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad.
Se dice que Casa de la Peña fue propiedad del primer médico español que llegó a Quito, Don Pedro de Valverde, quien al parecer instaló entre estos muros el primer hospital de la ciudad “Nuestra Señora de la Antigua”. (Inf. Diario La Hora).

When the work day is done, and I am looking to spend a little time outside with the best woman in the world. This is where I want to go.
After some chatting with Mobile 80, the Tramp Job heads for the Union Yard Runner (i.e. the old main) to tie up with some cars from the Commercial Yard.
