153377 is against the blocks at Penzance station and is both the southern most and western most train on the national network at the time the image was taken, The Voyager has taken nearly twelve hours on the 09.00 from Glasgow Central!
The two ladies providing wingman mutual support to the flight leader in the middle are bordering on 5% body fat, I reckon.
The rails at Gaslight Square are pretty awesome, good traingazing spot. Not to be confused with trainspotting gaze.
Looks really red. I may have to alter this one. It reminds me of China. Maybe I will get my RAW photos and see what I can do with this.
From the top of Tour Montparnasse, I spied a whole slew of rails coming out from Gare Vaugirard.

The sun has just dipped below the horizon and dusk slowly settles in as the now three unit lashup comes off the siding. In a moment they'll be lined back against train L516 in order to resume their trip. CN 8925 spent the day here after bringing in an early morning auto rack extra, the crew of the extra was cabbed home after delivering all the cars. April 11, 2022.
A reminder of the past, remnants of the former Peasmarsh Junction, where the Guildford - Horsham Direct Railway line to Cranleigh left the Portsmouth Direct Line.
Sie war ein Mädchen von achtzehn Jahren,
verführt von einer Jünglingshand.
Sie mußte schon so früh erfahren,
was falsche Liebe angebrannt.
Sie liebte ihn mit ihrem Herzen,
doch er, er war ein Bösewicht.
Da fühlte sie mit tausend Schmerzen:
Er, der Geliebte, liebt mich nicht!
Von Hamburg ging sie bis nach Bremen,
von dort bis an die Eisenbahn.
Sie wollt ihr Haupt auf Schienen legen,
bis daß der Zug aus Barmbeck kam.
Jedoch der Schaffner sahs von ferne,
er bremste mit gewaltger Hand.
Jedoch der Zug, er blieb nicht stehen. –
Ein Haupt rollt blutron in den Sand.

Op deze foto van een detail van het station van Luik-Guillemins (Liège-Guillemins) is goed te zien dat de vormen neergelegd zijn als een rails. Althans, die suggestie wordt gewekt.
Het opmerkelijke station, dat ontworpen werd door de Santiago Calatrava (nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santiago_Calatrava), werd geopend op 17 september 2009. De Spaanse architect ontwierp verder onder meer Stadelhofen-station te Zürich, het station van Luzern, het station Lyon-Saint-Exupéry TGV, het intermodaal station Oriente in Lissabon en het nieuwe PATH-station in New York.

Experimentation is fun! It is certainly essential for all creativity, and in this case, almost for free :-)
There are many inspiring people making flipped lens photos, so I figured I'd try some for myself.

The most striking feature about the tiny near-ghost town of Glentana is it's beautiful two story brick school. It sits on the very western edge of town, set apart from everything else. The giant sky and land around it don't diminish it's striking presence. Even in decay it's one of the most beautiful old school buildings I have ever seen. Can you imagine sitting in class, looking out those big windows onto the prairie? I hate to see this building fall apart. It's in the most beautiful location and so beautifully designed. If anyone has any history or stories about this place please share!
Remote doesn't even begin to describe the area where the tiny dying town of Glentana is. Up here the sky to ground ratio is unbelievable. Even I, a self professed prairie loving person (who was raised on the prairie since I was one) like myself was almost uncomfortable--there was so much sky, and so little earth. Robert and I agreed that it's an "exposed" feeling that makes a person nervous, and like I said we both are usually quite comfortable on the prairie. But the farther north you get the more you feel like you're standing in the sky with the ground far below you. Honestly, once you get used to the feeling you like it (at least I did). But as you can see there are pretty much no trees--not even in the draws--and if anything just a few scrub bushes to contrast the prairie grass.
Glentana it's self has a handful of old buildings and homes and even a church. It's very quiet there. Only 9 people lived there at the 2000 census.
"Glentana is ten miles from the Saskatchewan border. Homesteaders began locating around Scobey and nearby Glentana by the hundreds in the early 1900s, even before the government survey. Grassland was turned into fields, some with single-bottom plows pulled by horses and some with hired "gang plows" pulled by big steam engines.
Glentana was a station near the end of the branch line of the Great Northern that went up to Opheim.(from Cheney's Names on the Face of Montana, Mountain Press Publishing Company) Before the Great Northern and Soo Line RR branch lines were built into the county area in 1913, supplies were freighted in from the "main line", usually up from Poplar. Grain also had to be hauled there, all by team and wagon. A stage, following about the same route of the ancient Wood Mountain Trail, ran for some years, carrying mail and passengers to the area.
At one time, most of the homes in Daniels County were heated by lignite coal, which could be found in most areas of the county. Many rural residents just went out and trip mined their own coal where they found it, perhaps working with a neighbor or two. It was poor quality coal, but the settlers became quite adept at getting maximum heat from it. Without this abundant local fuel source, settling of the area may have had to wait until the rails came. There were a number of commercial mines in the county, some quite extensive. In addition, Glentana used to have a smelter that burned Montana coke, produced by placing coal in coke ovens that burned off the gases and impurities at high temperatures leaving a high-grade fuel called "coke." This activity gradually died out, however.
To the south of Glentana is the Fort Peck Indian Reservation. Sioux and Assinniboine live on the reservation, encompassing more than 2 million acres of land just east of Fort Peck Lake, almost to North Dakota, and from 50 miles south of Canada to the Missouri River in the south." -visitmt.com
Pausing to copy instructions, O489 brings a brief flash of color to the Oshkosh 'yard'. This would be the final winter the former CNW bridge (background left) would see.
