Elbereth Taivas (March 30th 2005 - July 8th 2021)
After a normal day, with a walk both morning and evening, my 'naughty Miss Taivas' went downhill rapidly from late yesterday evening and overnight. This morning I knew she hadn't got long and sadly I said goodbye to her at the vet's just two hours later. I took this photo at home, I'm glad she looks peaceful, just like she is sleeping.
There's no doubt she will keep them all in order over the rainbow bridge.
The typically chaotic scene on Rankin Street unfolds as the South City Switcher sends trucks and heavy equipment scrambling out of the way. Generally, about five-or-so trucks back onto Evans Avenue when a train is announced, creating quite the traffic nightmare. Union Pacific 1451 is in charge of today's local taking a short train of loaded mud cars to South San Francisco.
With a fresh crew from Pearl Yard, I-DAAT blasts east through Rankin. The massively cleared ROW is pretty signature KCS from what I can tell.

The Presbyterian minister, Dr John Rankin and a black foundry owner John Parker, both heroes of the Underground Railroad operated in Ripley. Located in the Appalachian Plateau Region of Ohio. This image is on North Front Street with the Ohio River to it's south side.

West texas light crude oil, esp. if discovered by a hillbilly named Jed.
Listen to a story about a man named jed a poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed then one day he was shooting at some food and up from the ground came a bubbling crude. Oil that is. Black gold. Texas tea.
Rankin's Grocery originally housed a store and a gas station in a rural community within Anderson, sc. Currently the building sits amongst subdivisions and busy roads used solely as a means to connect us to the past.

The last road switcher in San Francisco city limits runs through two sections of street-running between Pier 96 and the Peninsula Sub.
Chaos, scrambling, and yelling, typical of urban street-running operations, is present in this scene as Job 70 rounds the corner onto Rankin Street with a trash train from the SFBR.
These guys wasted no time at Pier 96; they were in and out within half an hour.
During a rare streak of clear nights, I was out with both telescope setups collecting data. On two of those nights, to my surprise, the aurora put on a great show. Unfortunately, I only had my phone with me, and even if I’d had my camera, I wasn’t in the best location to capture it — so I missed out.
But, the aurora decided to make an appearance again the following night. With the moon out, I wasn’t planning to set up my scopes, so instead I packed the camera and headed to a new spot I’d found earlier that day on Google Maps. The moonlight and a few scattered clouds made me a bit unsure at first, but I ended up getting lucky. The foreground picked up just the right amount of that usually unwanted moonlight, and a layer of fog in the distance added a bonus I didn’t even notice until editing.
The aurora itself turned out better than expected, but the real highlight of the night was a couple of beavers hanging out under the bridge I was shooting from. They definitely weren’t thrilled that I was there—every so often one would slap its tail on the water. If you’ve never heard it, it sounds like someone throwing big rocks into the river. Being alone in a new location, it made my heart jump every time.

A shiny Belle GP40-2 does the honors on this Saturday morning as the Rankin Turn ducks under the signal bridge at East Brandon.
Waiting for some conflicting movements ahead to clear, the Rankin Turn holds at Greenfield on the return trip to home base at Pearl.
First up;
The Conapaira Hotel in the middle of town -- Faced with the prospect of a town with no beer, residents in several regional New South Wales towns have banded together to buy their local pub. Increasingly, it is locals who are buying in, to preserve their town's only meeting place. The Conapaira Hotel is one such case, in the Southern NSW town of Rankins Springs. Its only pub closed 18 months ago, prompting locals to buy in. "It meant everything to the town, it was a meeting place for everyone to gather," new owner Stuart Vearing said."You didn't see anyone if the pub was shut. It was a very lonely place in Rankins Springs."
Secondly;
The unusual scalloped shape of the concrete silo (Type A191 ~ 19,100 tonnes capacity) built in 1964 on the Bardmedman to Rankins Springs rail line; just on the outskirts of town, but it looks to be serving the locals well though.

The morning local out of Jackson, rips east for Rankin with gas for Messer and NexAir Carbonic. It was a relief to spend time in these parts and still have solid KCS sets.
Vancouver, BC Canada
The Inukshuk is an Inuit monument at English Bay in Vancouver.
Is is a striking rock monument that is very popular. It is fantastic to take photos in front of Vancouver's English Bay in the background.
Inukshuks are a symbol from the north polar region of the world especially for the Inuit people in northern Canada. The First Nations people around Vancouver did not make Inukshuks.
In the Inuit language the name Inukshuk means "in the likeliness of a human". Every Inukshuk is unique in shape because they were made of whatever rocks were near that location.
Inukshuks are used to mark a place for navigation or as an important location such as a burial ground or important location. The arms and feet, when pointed in a certain direction indicated the way to go for navigation.
Inukshuk Monument plaque at English Bay says:
This ancient symbol of the Inuit culture is traditionally used as a landmark and navigational aid and also represents northern hospitality and friendship. Constructed of grey granite by Alvin Kanak of Rankin Inlet, this monument was commissioned by the Government of the Northwest Territories for its Pavilion at EXPO 86 and later given to the City of Vancouver. In 1987, the Inukshuk was moved to this site and sponsored as a gift to the City by Coast Hotels through the Vancouver Legacies Program.
