The CN runs a daily job out of the former GM&O Glenn Yard to the former EJ&E Kirk Yard. Normally threading through downtown Chicago around lunchtime, most days this job can be an easy target in the electrified zone. In addition, this run has historically rated unique motive power - even back in IC/ICG days when the job turned at Markham. This day a pair of IC SD70s are in charge.
They are passing through one of the parallel bridges over the Little Calumet River. From left to right are the twin mains of the former IC electrified commuter zone, two other double track structures that were for IC freight and passenger trains, then a single-track bridge that supports a connection with the B&OCT.

Some Emily Dickinson:
MY river runs to thee:
Blue sea, wilt welcome me?
My river waits reply.
Oh sea, look graciously!
I ’ll fetch thee brooks
From spotted nooks,—
Say, sea,
Take me!
#577-312 runs north along the Davenport sub. It is currently crossing the double track mainline of the UP, as Fifth Street is a control point that allows the CP to crossover the UP. This empty oil train has 1x1 GE's, 9804 and 9808.

NS 228 runs through Brandtsville with a pair of elephant-style catfish hauling 20' and 40' international intermodal containers bound for the port of Norfolk in Virginia. Overcast conditions and forgettable power had me dial down the shutter to 1/15th of a second and fire off a zoom pan shot.
Whitsand Bay is situated in South East Cornwall. It runs from Rame Head in the east, to Portwrinkle in the west. It is characterised by sheer, high cliffs and dramatic scenery. At low tide an expanse of sand approaching 4 miles in length, where several smaller coves and beaches join up, is revealed. The South West Coast Path runs the length of the bay.
The beach is fairly exposed and there are often surfable waves. However, it has a reputation for strong rip currents which makes swimming potentially treacherous. The shifting sandbanks and sandbars at Whitsand Bay, are a primary cause of this. The bay tends to develop sandbars particularly around mid-to-low tide. These sandbars create channels where water, pushed in by waves, returns to the sea, forming powerful, narrow rip currents. Dangerous rips can be found particularly around Tregonhawke and Tregantle beaches. RNLI lifeguards patrol designated sections, but not all areas, during summer. At other times there is no cover at all, making it crucial to be aware of the hazards. The area also attracts divers who come to dive the HMS Scylla, an ex-naval frigate sunk in 2004 to create an artificial reef.
Taken on a particularly low tide, this image looks east from Sharrow Point towards Rame Head. The chalets clinging to the cliff are above Freathy and Tregonhawke beaches, and the white coastguards’ cottages, further along, are above Polhawn Cove. The spire of Rame Church can just be seen on the horizon, and the white National Coastguard Institute station sits on Rame Head, just inland from the ancient chapel of St. Michael.

The road from Hayle to Portreath ( B3301 ) runs at sea level until Gwithian and Godrevy Lighthouse and then at a cliff top level before dropping down into Portreath . Along the road as it goes along the cliff top has a number of pull-ins ( some big enough for a coach or two ) and for some reason we call them the Frying Pans , probably as from a narrow entrance they open out into the unsurfaced parking places . Thus here is a view from one of these pull-ins looking back west in the direction of Hayle . The views are magnificent on a day like this and in the other direction one can see the golf ball installation on the old Nancekuke airfield - that is another story including whatever has been buried deep in the old mine shafts under the airfield !!
My only regret with this shot is how the horizon on the sea matches up with the cliff tops on the left , would have liked a step in the levels there !!
Endeans Mill is deep in the central North Island and close to Pureora Forest Park. A wonderful historical site filled with aging relics of the timber industry.
#44 runs hard upgrade with a pair of EMD's in notch 8, just after sunrise. WC 6587 (ex ATSF SD45) and CR 2574 (SD70) are a neat pair, as the WC could have some really odd power running between Fond Du Lac and Chicago. I remember wishing the CR 2574 was the leader. Looking back, still do!

The railway runs from Cairns to Kuranda and after starting at sea level climbs to an height of 328 metres. During the constuction hundreds of men were required to build the 37 bridges and the 15 tunnels that were required before the line was completed. Work started in 1882 and ended in 1891.
Exploring some of the churches on Skiathos, we came across this one, Archangels Taxiachrches (Church of the Archangels), built over a fresh water spring. The water is so clear and runs down to a fish pond, again one I have never seen with such clear water.
Water Runs Through It….

Where the river runs, life's story unfolds in fluid motion. It carves its path, a serpentine journey through the heart of the land, carrying with it the essence of time. Like a wandering troubadour, it weaves tales of the earth, whispering secrets to the banks it caresses. The river mirrors the ebbs and flows of existence, mirroring the trials and triumphs encountered along the way. Its current, a steady force, encapsulates the essence of resilience and adaptability, navigating obstacles, sculpting the terrain, and symbolizing the ceaseless passage of moments. In its waters lie reflections of life’s journey — a reminder that as the river runs, so does the narrative of our lives, ever-flowing and ever-evolving.

The Royal Mile runs between two significant locations in the royal history of Scotland: Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace. The total length of the streets between the Castle and the Palace is almost exactly a mile (1.6 km), hence the name. The streets which make up the Royal Mile are (west to east) Castlehill, the Lawnmarket, the High Street, the Canongate and Abbey Strand. The Royal Mile is the busiest tourist street in the Old Town, rivalled only by Princes Street in the New Town. Quoted from Wikipedia
The Tron Kirk is a former principal parish church in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is a well-known landmark on the Royal Mile. It was built in the 17th century and closed as a church in 1952. Having stood empty for over fifty years, it was used briefly as a tourist information centre and, more recently, has been re-opened as the site of the Edinburgh World Heritage Exhibition and John Kay’s book and gift shop.

Excerpt from uwaterloo.ca:
Description of the District
The Durand-Markland Heritage Conservation District runs along Markland Street and includes Park Street and MacNab Street between Markland Street and Herkimer. Chilton Place is also included.
The Durand-Markland Heritage Conservation District is found in the City of Hamilton and consists of 51 residential properties.
Cultural Heritage Value of the District
The Heritage Conservation District Plan describes the heritage character as:
“Although a few residents were built in the 1850s and 1860s, the Durand-Markland study area is characterized by a predominance of late nineteenth century to early twentieth century building construction. There is a range and diversity of structures from small, vernacular worker’s cottages to large classically detailed houses of the upper middle class.
The most prominent architectural styles are nineteenth century Italianate (1850-1900), and Queen Anne (1880-1910), and twentieth century Tudor Revival (1900-1930s) Examples of such architectural styles as Second Empire (1860-1880), Colonial Revival (1900-present), Edwardian Classicism (1900-1930), and four-square (1900-1930) are also represented in the district ”.
It goes on to state:
“The distinctive architectural features of the area are its scale, mass, decorative detailing and building sitting. Remarkably few individual buildings and properties have been extensively altered or subdivided over time due to changing tastes, economics and fashion The overall nineteenth century residential character coupled with a distinctive treeline and canopied streetscapes have generally been retained and occasionally enhanced”.
Designation of the District
The designation of Durand-Markland was initiated by local residents. Unterman McPhail Cumming Associates Heritage Conservation and Planning Consultants and Wendy Shearer Landscape Architect Limited completed the plan in 1994 for the City of Hamilton.
The Durand-Markland Heritage Conservation District is protected by By-law 94-184, which was passed in 1994 by the City of Hamilton.

Scopwick Beck, which runs through the village of Scopwick, North Kesteven, Lincolnshire.
Scopwick is small village and civil parish in the district of North Kesteven, situated 6 miles south from Lincoln. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 815. The parish includes Kirkby Green, a hamlet to the east of Scopwick. The village main road runs parallel to a narrow stream.
The village cemetery includes a War Graves site for airmen from RAF Coleby Grange and RAF Digby (originally RAF Scopwick), and includes that of the young Second World War poet and aviator John Gillespie Magee.
Part of the brick tower of Scopwick Tower Mill, which was built in 1827 and fell into disuse around 1912, remains standing.
59103 runs into Westbury from Fairwood Junction with train 7A17, the 10:24 Merehead Quarry to Acton Yards jumbo train, and is the last train of this trip, which has been a fine one, thanks to !Z10, particularly Andy Hoare for inception Eddie Holden for being Eddie Holden and for inviting me in and Nigel Capelle for driving me around on day one, and all the rest for having me around, Gavin Bland, Bruce Galloway, Thomas Harper, Mark Gowing and Rob Higgins.
