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.......

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.
After a long day on Wisconsin & Southern's Oshkosh turn (L595), now retired engineer Lou Sage heads for the crew truck and conductor Matt Brozowski is not far behind at Ripon. After a quick job briefing, the new crew will climb aboard and continue the work towards Horicon.

La Iglesia de San Francisco es una basílica católica que se levanta en medio del centro histórico de Quito, frente a la plaza del mismo nombre.
La estructura es el conjunto arquitectónico de mayor dimensión dentro de los centros históricos de toda América, y por ello es conocido como el "Escorial del Nuevo Mundo".
Sobre sus tres hectáreas y media de superficie se han construido trece claustros (seis de ellos de gran magnitud), tres iglesias, un gran atrio, sumando aproximadamente cuarenta mil metros cuadrados de edificación. Allí se desarrollan múltiples actividades en la actualidad: las conventuales y religiosas, de atención pública en las áreas de salud, de comunicación, educativas y otras de corte popular que mantienen activo al edificio.
Dentro de la iglesia se encuentran más de 3.500 obras de arte colonial, de múltiples manifestaciones artísticas y variadas técnicas, especialmente aquellas correspondientes a la Escuela Quiteña de Arte, que nació precisamente en este lugar.
Posee también una biblioteca franciscana, descrita en el siglo XVII como la mejor del Virreinato del Perú.
Al conjunto le precede una plaza homónima que durante años abasteció a la ciudad de agua de su fuente central, y que ha funcionado como mercado popular, como espacio de concentraciones militares y políticas, y como lugar de encuentro y recreación social. La escalera cóncavo-convexa que comunica la plaza con el atrio, que resalta la fachada manierista-barroca del templo mayor, es considerada de gran importancia arquitectónica.
En sus tres naves, San Francisco devela artesonados moriscos con lazos mudéjares, retablos profusamente decorados y columnas de diversos estilos. En el coro, la decoración mudéjar, original de finales del siglo XVI, se conserva íntegra porque la nave central se vino abajo con un terremoto y fue reemplazado por un artesonado barroco en 1770. Cielos mudéjares en los extremos, barrocos en la nave central, retablos llenos de imágenes, mascarones y querubines mirando al centro del Altar Mayor.
The Church of San Francisco is a Catholic basilica that stands in the middle of the historic center of Quito, in front of the square of the same name.
The structure is the largest architectural complex within the historic centers of all America, and for this reason it is known as the "Escorial of the New World."
On its three and a half hectares of surface area, thirteen cloisters have been built (six of them large), three churches, a large atrium, totaling approximately forty thousand square meters of building. Multiple activities are currently carried out there: conventual and religious, public attention in the areas of health, communication, education and others of a popular nature that keep the building active.
Inside the church there are more than 3,500 works of colonial art, of multiple artistic manifestations and varied techniques, especially those corresponding to the Quito School of art, which was born precisely in this place.
It also has a Franciscan library, described in the 17th century as the best in the Viceroyalty of Peru.
The complex is preceded by a plaza of the same name that for years supplied the city with water from its central fountain, and which has functioned as a popular market, as a space for military and political gatherings, and as a place for social gathering and recreation. The concave-convex staircase that connects the plaza with the atrium, which highlights the mannerist-baroque façade of the main temple, is considered of great architectural importance.
In its three naves, San Francisco reveals Moorish coffered ceilings with Mudejar ties, profusely decorated altarpieces and columns of various styles. In the choir, the Mudejar decoration, original from the end of the 16th century, is preserved intact because the central nave collapsed in an earthquake and was replaced by a Baroque coffered ceiling in 1770. Mudejar ceilings at the ends, Baroque in the central nave, altarpieces full of images, masks and cherubs looking towards the centre of the High Altar.
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).

G514 works empty cement train from Newcastle as 4244 through Shiels Hill near Maldon bound for Berrima.
Tuesday 24th February 2026
Mass Coastal 2009 (née-IC GP28) and 2011 (née-NH FL9) are parked in the yard at Hyannis, MA at nightfall. The crew of the passenger train has just tied down after a day of hauling Cape Cod tourists in the summer heat.
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.
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.
