In this photo Walker Basin can be seen on the other side of the Rankin Barns. Johns Peak rises behind the valley on the skyline. Originally called simply “The Park”, this beautiful little valley, Walker’s Basin, was named for Joseph Reddford Walker who was a pathfinder and scout for General Fremont. Walker came through this area in 1834 when he came down the San Joaquin Valley from Monterey and led his party out of the valley and over the pass which was also named for him…Walker Pass. The first settlers came to Walker’s Basin long before roads came. The trail leading up Walker’s Basin Creek through the Basin and over the mountain pass was the route of the Union Soldiers during the Civil War as they journeyed between Fort Tejon and Fort Independence (near Bishop in northern California). The Quarter Circle U Rankin Ranch was founded by Walker Rankin in 1863. His decendents still operate it today.
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.
On 2nd October 1999 4803 and 4916 lead the preserved Southern Aurora set on a Rail Transport Museum tour between Weethalle and Rankin Springs
Union Pacific's South City Switcher rumbles down Rankin Street after several trucks hurried out of their way. This local is the last freight job to run to San Francisco, and generally does not run to Pier 96 more than twice a week, though they are on duty every day. On September 8th, five GP's were needed to bring a heavy mud train up the grade to Caltrain. Also take note of the disgruntled clown advancing towards my camera to investigate why someone would take pictures on a public road.

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.

Our Daily Challenge 9-15 April : Ceramic.
The last remaining object in a set of stoneware vases and lamps I made inspired by seed heads .
The glazes were made using wood ash and fired to 1280C
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.
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.
CPKC LL77, the Rankin Turn, departs High Oak Yard with the usual string of Autoparts boxcars in tow for General Motors. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure since this was taken, the General Motors warehouse east of here no longer receives cars, so getting this job with the autoparts was a nice way to end the trip. 1-14-25

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.

Waiting for some conflicting movements ahead to clear, the Rankin Turn holds at Greenfield on the return trip to home base at Pearl.
Two loaders are making progress loading ore into the open containers at Rankin Dam which make up 9102 ore train hauled by the unusual combination of G533,G535,ALF24,FQ02 on 17-11-21
With their work for the day done, the Rankin Turn passes the business track at Greenfield on the way back to Pearl.
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.

A Texas Pacifico local with a leased MAC switches out cars. Of course the time while working on a project near here, this was the only train I saw and the only time I didn't have my camera with me so an iPhone shot will have to work.

Easing back into High Oak Yard after working customers east of town, the Rankin Turn has a nice clean pair of GP40-2s in charge.

With the usual string of carbon dioxide tank cars in two, the Rankin Turn heads east at Mississippi Highway 18 in Brandon. A smart-looking Southern Belle GP40-2/GP38-2 pair are in command this day.
