Scende la sera sul piccolo paese di Sirta, in bassa Valtellina, allo sbocco dell’incassata val Fabiolo, che lo collega in alto con Campo Tartano.
La mulattiera acciottolata che percorre questa angusta valle era il collegamento principale tra i due paesi prima della costruzione della strada carrozzabile sul fianco esterno della montagna.

…….
Baco y Amor se llegan
a mí con paso libre.
Amor un dulce tiro
del arco me despide,
y entrambas sienes Baco
de pámpanos me ciñe.
Besáronme en la boca
después, y así apacibles
con voz muy más suave
que el céfiro me dice:
«Tú de las roncas armas
ni oirás el son terrible,
ni en mal seguro leño
bramar las crudas sirtes.
La paz y los amores
te harán, Batilo, insigne;
y de Cupido y Baco
serás el blando cisne».

Lo splendido terrazzo prativo della Motta, a 1070 m di quota nella piccola Val Fabiolo, sopra Sirta, piccolo paese a poca distanza da Morbegno.
Vi campeggia una strana costruzione tonda, la Cà redunda, che potrebbe far pensare ad una antica torre, ma in realtà pare sia stata costruita in tempi relativamente recenti da un eccentrico abitante della zona, tal Giuseppe Tocalli, che voleva semplicemente costruire una casa diversa dalle altre.
If you think the Highlands are a barren region, then visit the islands belonging to Scotland in the Atlantic.
Here, for example, we are on Harris Island, an island in the Outer Hebrides, not far from the town of Tarbert.
On these islands, you will hardly find any plants taller than this grass at our feet, which is being shaken by the strong, cold north wind.
And even though this photo very successfully suggests autumn (perhaps even late autumn), this is indeed a summer day, and I encountered several locals wearing T-shirts and shorts.
When I asked one of them about it, he explained that it is now summer and the temperature is finally above 10 degrees Celsius (it was 12). This completely justifies this choice of clothing.
Despite this, or perhaps precisely because of it, my visit to the Outer Hebrides is one of my highlights.
Wann Ihr meint das die Highlands eine karge Region sind, dann besucht einmal die zu Schottland gehörenden Inseln im Atlantik.
Hier befinden wir uns z.B. auf Harris Island, einer Insel der äußeren Hebriden, unweit der Stadt Tarbert.
Auf diesen Inseln findet man kaum Pflanzen, die höher sind als dieses Gras, welches hier vor unseren Füßen vom starken und kalten Nordwind durchgeschüttelt wird.
Und auch, wenn dieses Foto uns sehr erfolgreich den Herbst suggeriert (vielleicht sogar den Spätherbst). Dies ist tatsächlich ein Sommertag, an dem ich so manchen Einheimischen mit T-Sirt und kurzer Hose angetroffen habe.
Als ich einen darauf angesprochen habe erwinderte dieser, dass jetzt Sommer ist und die Temperaturen schließlich oberhalb 10 Grad Celsius liegen (es waren 12). Das rechtfertigt vollkommen diese Wahl der Bekleidung.
Trotzdem, oder vielleicht gerade deswegen, gehört mein Besuch der Äußeren Hebriden, zu meinen Highlights.

77 Bombay Street - Up In The Sky
www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzBQL5b36ww&list=OLAK5uy_nxsB...
Up in the sky, there is a village
And the people there are blue, I believe it's true
Up in the sky, people are happy
They love to sing and there is no need for a king
Up in the sky, nothing is insane
Like a rocket driven plane, you can fly above the rain
Up in the sky, you just feel fine
There is no running out of time and you never cross a line
I never want to die
I wanna live in the sky
Up in the sky, you can fly
You will make it if you try
In the sky, you are far away
Up in the sky, you can sing
And you can do everything
And no matter what they say, it's true
I'll go into the blue
Up in the sky, there's no religion
There are no cars and no phones
And you cannot be controlled
Up in the sky, you just feel fine
There is no money making crime
But a lot of good wine
I never want to die
I wanna live in the sky
Up in the sky, you can fly
You will make it if you try
In the sky, you are far away
Up in the sky, you can sing
And you can do everything
And no matter what they say, it's true
I'll go into the blue (oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
I'll go into the blue (oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Into the blue (oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
I wanna live up in the sky
I wanna live up in the sky
I wanna live up in the sky
I wanna live up in the sky
Up in the sky
Up in the sky, you can fly
You will make it if you try
In the sky, you are far away
Up in the sky, you can sing
And you can do everything
And no matter what they say, it's true, oh-oh
Up in the sky, you can fly
You will make it if you try
In the sky, you are far away
Up in the sky, you can sing
And you can do everything
And no matter what they say, it's true
I'll go into the blue (oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Up in the sky (oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

Doris Day - Tea For Two
www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi1yOsqDXew
Oh honey, picture me upon your knee
With tea for two and two for tea
Just me for you
And you for me alone
Nobody near us
To see us or hear us
No friends or relations
On weekend vacations
We won't have it known, dear
That we own a telephone, dear
Day will break and I'm gonna wake
And start to bake a sugar cake
For you to take
For all the boys to see
We will raise a family
A boy for you and a girl for me
Can't you see how happy we will be?
Picture you upon my knee
Tea for two and two for tea
While the focus of this day would revolve around the pair of RS3s I did capture a couple shots of the other Alcos while our private photo freight charter was being readied by the wonderful Saratoga, Corinth and Hudson Railway folks. SCH Alco S2 3021 is lettered for the Delaware and Hudson though she is not an original D&H unit.
Built in July 1943 as USAX 7108 she later worked on Staten Island as SIRT 821 then kept the same number after moving north to work for both predecessor tourist railroads here, the Upper Hudson River Railroad and then the Saratoga and North Creek. The classy end cab is dressed in a historically accurate livery identical to the fifty S2 and S4 series Schenectady built switchers the D&H rostered and which regularly operated over this line decades ago.
She has a hold of what would be our photo freight consist of three former refrigerated boxcars, a single side dump gondola, and a bay window caboose seen here just north of the West Mountain Road underpass at MP 54.3 on the former Adirondack Branch Main just north of the junction with the moribund Palmers Falls Branch that reached the once massive and busy International Falls paper plant.

This was the start to a fabulous day spent with good friends on a private photo freight charter south from Corinth. This view was captured at the Saratoga, Corinth and Hudson Railway's compact station and yard area located at at MP 54.5 on the former Delaware and Hudson Railway's Adirondack Branch. For the moment there are three units coupled together: Alco RS3s 4103 and 4118 and S2 3021.
The two former were built new for the Delaware and Hudson Railway in Sep. and Oct. 1952 respectively and were acquired in mid 2024 from Genesee Valley Transportation where they had run most recently on the Delaware-Lackanna Railway out of Scranton. The latter was built in July 1943 as USAX 7108 and later was SIRT 821 then kept the same number working for both predecessor tourist railroads here, Upper Hudson River Railroad and then the Saratoga and North Creek. While not an original Delaware and Hudson unit it is dressed in a historically accurate livery identical to the fifty S2 and S4 series end cab Schenectady built switchers the D&H rostered and which regularly operated over this line decades ago.
Ultimately we would elect not to take the switcher and our train once built would consist of the two road switchers, three former refrigerated boxcars, a single side dump gondola, and a bay window caboose.

Here's another from this fun spring day and this mini chase at the second of two public grade crossings along this rare mileage run. Alco S2 number 3021 brings up the rear of a five car Saratoga, Corinth and Hudson Railway passenger train headed south back to Corinth from Hadley, the first of three roundtrips specially operated for the community's 'Maple In April' festival. This going away view looks south from the Antone Road grade crossing at MP A56 on the former Delaware and Hudson Adirondack Branch.
3021 is not an original Delaware and Hudson unit but is dressed in a historically accurate livery identical to the fifty S2 and S4 series end cab Schenectady built switchers the D&H rostered and which regularly operated over this line decades ago. She was built in Jul. 1943 for the US Army as USAX 7108, then later went to Staten Island as SIRT 821 before migrating north for use on the Upper Hudson Railroad and then the Saratoga and North Creek, the two predecessor operators of the Adirondack Branch prior to SC&H.

The Heart Of The Ocean. Episode 2, pic 2
Ricky is Wearing:
(Cold-Ash) Men's TANNER Open Hoodie w/SIRT (Red)
(Cold-Ash) Men's MESH VALKYRIE (White)
(Cold-Ash) Men's Larkham Jeans (Dark Blue) (Straight)
But I can't help it, because I love having red hair :)
I also got it cut today. Which was quite interesting, considering that I haven't cut it since August. Just a trim, but it still scared me. Lol
I'm leaving Staten Island in just 16 days. It's weird. I wasn't born here (born in the Bronx), but I definitely grew up here. I'll be about an hour away, but now that seems like another continent, because even when I wasn't really here, I always had a place to come back to. Whether it was Florida, Brooklyn, Manhattan or Queens, I'd always at some point return to Staten Island. Now that is over...what awaits? Here is my train station for my commute to Manhattan for so many years past. (I ended up giving up on the train and ferry for an express bus around '94, but this is the place where the trek to Manhattan initially started.)
While the focus of this day would revolve around the pair of RS3s I did capture a couple shots of the other Alcos while our private photo freight charter was being readied by the wonderful Saratoga, Corinth and Hudson Railway folks. SCH Alco S1 number 5 and S2 number 3021 are coupled together as they rearrange equipment at the south end of Corinth Yard.
The 660 hp S1 was built in May 1947, and was retained by the company as their plant switcher in Schenectady and is once again dressed in the corporate scheme she wore in those days.
The 1000 hp S2 was built in July 1943 as USAX 7108, then later worked on Staten Island as SIRT 821 and kept the same number after moving north to work for both predecessor tourist railroads here, the Upper Hudson River Railroad and then the Saratoga and North Creek. The 3021 is dressed in a historically accurate livery identical to the fifty S2 and S4 series Schenectady built switchers the D&H rostered and which regularly operated over this line decades ago.
There is no doubting the heritage of this route with the gold lettering still prominent on the thru girder bridge over West Mountain Road at MP 54.3 on the former Adirondack Branch Main just north of the junction with the moribund Palmers Falls Branch that reached the once massive and busy International Falls paper plant.

NY Division Electric Railroad Association fantrip on the Staten Island Rapid Transit at Dougan Hills, NY.
De gorja son y rapidez los tiempos:
Corre cual luz la voz; en alta aguja
Cual nave despeñada en sirte horrenda
Húndese el rayo, y en ligera barca
El hombre, como alado, el aire hiende.
¡así el amor, sin pompa ni misterio .
Muere, apenas nacido, de saciado!
¡jaula es la villa de palomas muertas
Y ávidos cazadores! si los pechos
Se rompen de los hombres, y las carnes
Rotas por tierra ruedan, ¡no han de verse
Dentro más que frutillas estrujadas!
My latest t-shirt and a tribute to the village I come from; Craghead Co. Durham.
Ask nicely and I'll send the link to the website - they will make this with any town/village on.....can't wait to see 'Geordie Republic - Magaluf!
SIR #448 emerges out of St. George Tunnel with a four-car set of R44s rolling through the B&O-style CPLs at SNX (Slosson) interlocking on a drab Saturday evening on Staten Island with Lower Manhattan and 1WTC visible on the top right.
The SIR is the most interesting of all the lines operated by the NYCT with its own unique operations and history. Opened in 1860 on the island's east shore and reorganized as the Staten Island Rapid Transit in the 1880s, the SIRT was historically owned by the Baltimore and Ohio which financed its expansion into New Jersey via a bridge over the Arthur Kill Strait to a connection with the CNJ at Cranford. By 1900, the SIRT was a wholly owned B&O subsidiary isolated from the rest of the system and reached by trackage rights over Reading and Jersey Central east of Philadelphia. The B&O electrified the SIRT in 1925 taking delivery of brand-new ME-1s built by Standard Steel for rapid transit operation. Construction began on a tunnel under Lower New York Bay to integrate the SIRT with the rest of the New York transit system; the project was never completed.
Service ended between St. George and Arlington on the island's north shore in 1953. The B&O handed over the remaining rapid transit operations to SIRTOA, a subsidiary of MTA, in 1971, and Chessie continued freight operations on the island until it sold the railroad in 1985. By 1991, freight traffic east of Arlington was permanently finished, and the railroad was abandoned west of St. George severing it from the rest of the U.S. rail network.
A lasting legacy of the B&O on Staten Island is the continued use of B&O signal aspects on the SIR. The B&O installed color-position lights on the SIRT in 1924 making it one of the first lines on the entire B&O system with the classic CPLs that we know and love. Originally installed for ABS operation, the CPLs on the SIR are configured for ATC and cab signals. Although most of the original B&O-era masts have been removed (the ones you see here at SNX are MTA-era masts), a number of GRS-built dwarves remain scattered across the line.
Last but not least, SIR operates the oldest cars in revenue service on the New York transit system since the retirement of the R32s in 2022. The R44s in service on the SIR date back to 1973 when the MTA ordered a dedicated fleet of R44s to replace the B&O-era ME-1s that have been operating on the SIR since the 1920s. In addition to the 278 cars built for the NYCT B Division, 64 R44s were built by the St. Louis Car Company to FRA standards for service on Staten Island, the final pieces of rolling stock built by the company before its dissolution. 12 of these R44s were initially sent to the B Division before being reassigned to the SIR in the mid-1980s. Today, 57 R44s remain in active service on the SIR and the last R44s on the B Division were retired in 2010. The remaining R44s on Staten Island will be replaced by the R211S in the near future.
