CSX E052 emerges from the St. Albans Tunnel as they begin the trek south on the Coal River. This train will reach Danville, WV, and be handed off to a mine shuttle crew for loading.
The gorgeous blue sky literally reflects on the wet glistening white sands of Butler Beach in St Augustine Florida. Hard to distinguish where one begins and the other ends.

St George Island Florida. 4/16/2014.
This post is the 20th warbler species I have posted since the end of March which for me is somewhat of a milestone. Those of you who are familiar with my photo stream know I have a special interest in warblers. My warbler images this year are thus far mostly taken in Georgia where we have over 20 breeding species in our state, and several images have been from Florida, with a few from Tennessee and a few from North Carolina. I have 2 or 3 more species to post from this Spring. The end of July marks for me to beginning of my fall migration efforts where I try for fall plumages including females and juveniles. I also hope to pick up some additional warbler species. I have had a lot of fun and adventure since the end of March working on this, and I sincerely appreciate all the comments and favs.
Sixty years ago (long time between visits) our family visited St Bernards at Tamborine Mountain to drop my aunty off who was staying for a week's holiday. I vaguely remember a natural swimming pool in the creek beside (pool has now gone), some lovely paths and views out the back (see recent image) and not much more. I don't think we even went in!
Here is a historical note from its website -
"Let us introduce you to Tamborine’s oldest and most iconic pub – St Bernard’s Hotel. A favourite establishment with both locals and tourists alike, take Alpine Terrace off the main tourist track and you’ll find us located on the edge of an ancient volcanic escarpment; a backdrop where you can come and experience the warmth and hospitality of country dining, whilst indulging in sweeping views of Tamborine Valley overlooking the Guanaba Gorge, northern Gold Coast out to Stradbroke Island, and the Pacific Ocean.
Built in 1881, St Bernards Hotel became licensed in 1915, and since then has invited guests in the area to enjoy casual dining in our pub overlooking the breathtaking surroundings, or appreciate our beautiful grounds when celebrating a special occasion with loved ones. Anyone who has visited us will know that the warmest welcomes will always come from Cooper & Norman – our two very friendly resident St Bernards dogs – who can even participate in your upcoming nuptials should you choose!
If you want to experience something truly unique and special to the area, a trip to Tamborine Mountain wouldn’t be complete without a visit to St Bernards Hotel."
On Friday October 4, 2024 the McAdam Railway Station organization sponsored a day long excursion from McAdam, NB south to St. Stephen, NB on the New Brunswick Southern Ry. En-route south, the train made an "unscheduled" stop at Watt Jct where a staged "train robbery" entertained passengers with an elaborate horse show with guns blazing. The special featured 2 freshly scrubbed NBSR GP40-2's 3095-3028 with three NBS passenger cars brightly decorated in NBSR, Irving graphics. Chasing this train wasn't as easy as we thought, recent trackwork and speed upgrades made it a challenge. NBSR Extra 3095 is passing some nice fall colors crossing Provinicial county road 750 between Honeydale and Moore's Mills, NB. Upon arrival that evening, passengers enjoyed a wonderful Roast Beef dinner at the beautifully restorted station.
