One of the iconic images from Route 66, there's probably 100 shots of this on Flickr alone. This one's mine.
Looking south from Southwark towards Elephant & Castle. A train can be seen on the left heading towards Blackfriars station on the busy Thameslink route.
Crawford's locomotives PHC002 and PHC001 make their debut daylight appearance in the Western Suburbs on train #8590 from Hermidale to Werris Creek taking the 2nd quickest route to the north western railway town via the Blue Mountains and Sydney. It has taken the longer trip through Sydney due to trackwork on the preferred, time saving route.

A hike in the park............Wrangell-St.Elias National Park. This shot was taken while navigating through a serac/boulder field on our way to Mt. Bona. May 2004.
MRL's Night Gas Local heads west through the village of Lothrop, east of Alberton, on the Fourth Sub. Traditionally, the Night Gas would take the Tenth Sub, a shorter route to its destination in Thompson Falls, but due to track work, it was routed over the circuitous Fourth Sub, or what dispatchers call, the river route. MRL's Veterans Wrapped Unit leads the train this evening.
A small slot canyon along the Escalante Route, Grand Canyon National Park. The Escalante Route is an unmaintained trail that connects the New Hance Trail to the Tanner Trail. The trail is renowned as being one of the most beautiful trails not only in the park but also the country (backpacker magazine rated it the #2 trail in the country, behind the John Muir Trail of California). The trail begins at the terminus of the New Hance Trail, at the Hance Rapids, and heads east, quickly climbing a very steep landslide to beautiful views above the river. The trail narrows, and eventually begins twisting through several small slot canyons (one of which is shown here). Eventually, the trail climbs several thousand feet above the river, with amazing views of the canyon, until descending to Tanner Beach following the Unkar Cliffs.
To give some scale to the shot, the boulder in the canyon is massive, and the drop beneath it was too big to make without ropes. We had to climb up and around to get past the obstruction.

Many thanks for your visits / comments / faves!
Pan Am Boston based local BO-1 is heading home light engine after run to Peabody to deliver cars to Rousselot which is the very last customer remaining on the north shore and the sole reason this lonely freight train makes its biweekly treks up the old Boston and Maine Eastern Route mainline. This is a sad state of a affairs and a far cry from days of old, but now only crumbling vestiges of trackside industries and legacy names such as Brickyard serve to remind us of once was. But forget all that was lost for a moment and be thankful for this pretty sight we do have as the mysteriously Guilford repainted GP40-2LW 507 rolls south beneath the signal mast here at about MP 10.8 on the Keolis/MBTA mainline.

History of this 1970s Route 66 roadside attraction on Roadside America: www.roadsideamerica.com/story/14307
Royal Route: The city has some buildings surviving from the time of the Hanseatic League. Most tourist attractions are located along or near Ulica Długa (Long Street) and Długi Targ (Long Market), a pedestrian thoroughfare surrounded by buildings reconstructed in historical (primarily during the 17th century) style and flanked at both ends by elaborate city gates. This part of the city is sometimes referred to as the Royal Route, since it was once the former path of processions for visiting Kings of Poland.
The Golden Gate is a historic Renaissance city gate in Gdańsk, Poland. It is located within the Royal Route, the most prominent part of the historic city center and is one of its most notable tourist attractions. It was created in 1612–14 in place of a 13th-century gothic gate, the Brama Długouliczna. Wikipedia
The virtues of Peace, Freedom, Wealth, Fame, Piety, Justice and Concord are depicted in allegorical statues adorning the balustrade of this gate overlooking ul. Długa. Designed by Flemish architect Abraham van den Blocke, it was built between 1642-44, later destroyed during WWII and not restored until 1997. An inscription on the gate reads, “Small states grow by concord, great ones fall by disagreement.” As you walk through the gate, you are now on ul. Długa (Long Street) - the heart of Gdańsk Old Town.
Prison Tower & Torture Chamber
Originally built as part of the city’s fortifications in the second half of the 14th century, the complex was rebuilt by Antoni Van Obberghen between 1593 and 1604 with the smaller of the two buildings becoming a torture chamber and courthouse while the larger tower became the prison. It was here that executions were carried out until the middle of the 19th century. Damaged during WWII, it has been extensively renovated and how houses the Amber and Torture Museums.
