KCS 4859, newly-painted in Shreveport with "Safety Starts Here" logos on each side of it leads the MSZSH-23 train around the curve in Houston, Texas. .On the other side of the unit, the same logo exists, but in Spanish and with the KCSM logo on the nose.
Mike is a licenced carpenter by trade. He is busy trying to get some odd jobs done around the house before he gets his knee replacement on January 20th (happy day after his birthday present - a new knee). He makes sure it is safety first always and he had his safetly glasses on so I told him I wanted a photo for my 365. He actually obiigied and did not give me the three finger salute LOL.

I found this Canadian National Caboose in CSX Prairie Rail Yard, Mulberry Florida near Prairie Mine Road, which intersects with Florida State Road 60.
Unfortunately, I didn't keep adequate Notes and so far my internet search hasn't helped very much in trying to identify this caboose.
According to Jeremy MacPearson, this is a former CN Superintendent's car.
Blue flag and ID tags from crew members working on UP 844 to replace a bad bearing in Kansas City, MO. 5/30/11.
In November 2005, I took an AMTRAK Train from Tampa Union Station in Florida to Hamlet, North, Carolina to attend a Summer Convention of the ACL/SAL Historical Society in and around the Hamlet Area Hamlet Metro Area, One of the sites we visited was CSX Hump Classification Yard Hamlet.
Tower Mailing Address: 127 CSX Drive, Marks Creek, NC 28345"
This Yard is relies on Gravity, a Ladder of Switches and Speed Retarders to assemble trains destined for all parts of the US and Canada on an assortment of tracks, one track for each destination. or Intermediate Yard.In addition to the Posters & Signs, a no longer used caboose, now serves as a place for Safety Classes and Safety Signs.
These particular photographs show some of the Safety Alerting Signs all over the CSX Yard.
SAFETY is a BIG Concern in the Railroad Industry and Yards are particularly dangerous, not only due of all the traffic, but also particularly Coupling & Uncoupling Railcars, Trowing Switches, Checking the Bills of Lading for the contents being shipped,limited space, minimal Lines of Sight, setting & releasing Hand Brakes, etc. Lack of Attention, can be Fatal ! Consequently there are numerous Safety Signs, Classes, and Accident Tracking Billboards !
This building succumbed to old age a few years back. Here is how it looked while it was still standing:
A couple years ago, I worked on a music video with some friends. Unfortunately, the band broke up shortly before the video ever saw the light of day, but it was still a great weekend. I recently went back and re-edited some of my photos from behind-the-scenes.
Efficient in terms of use of space, to be sure, but I've never been on a sidewalk and thought to myself, "There's no way pedestrians haven't died here."
Na de passage van de piekuurtrein trok ik verder richting centrum van Bierghes. Aan de plaatselijk overweg, die op dit ogenblik trouwens bijna allemaal op het traject tussen Halle en Edingen onder handen worden genomen door Infrabel "Safety First", was het mogelijk om op een stapel betonnen dwarsliggers hoogte te winnen.
En dan begon het wachten op de volgende trein maar ook het opkomen van een wolkenband. Het moest zijn zoals het zou zijn: tegen dat de IC naar Moeskroen er eindelijk was ging de zon ook verscholen achter een pak sluierwolken. Waarom herbegin je de plaat dan niet, vragen jullie zich misschien af? Ik had wel zin en ook tijd, maar weersgewijs was augustus 2014 nu niet echt top en vanaf september - toen de zon zich weer meer liet zien - komt de zon bijna niet meer langs deze kant van het spoor.
Jullie zullen het dus met deze plaat moeten stellen, want het bouwmateriaal ligt er zeker niet tot volgende zomer ;-)

When I first wanted heels .....these where the rage...then some facts about pounds per square inch and the weight of the person wearing them came out ..my dad had just bought my mom new flooring and none of us girls were allowed to buy them......which was probably a life saving thing ..we probably would have broken our legs and destroyed moms floors.....
**************************Another one of my favorite photos from the photo shot......
I was thinking that after the purchase of rubber boots that will be enough for my outdoor gear … not .. now I'm looking for inexpensive underwater camera enclosure but I should carry climbing gear or at least good rope . When I was looking down the water fall I was thinking ...if I slip - I'm so f…. but I got couple of shots that I wanted .
I'm looking forward to some day-trips as the days are getting longer.
There is couple of holes , they are created by smaller rocks being cough in the softer part of bedrock where they are being span by water of the falls .
See where this picture was taken, Kanaka Falls , Maple Ridge , BC [?]
Now as we have previously seen falling is a distinct and ever present danger to this, our evening endeavours. Not for us of course. Our constantly fleeing prey do however have a penchant for stumbles, tumbles and falling flat on their faces. We will always avoid that moment of embarrassment as we do something that they do not.
We prepare.
Now look at what we're doing here. We've chosen a sensible pair of footwear. Steel toe-capped if possible but not necessary. At least ankle high for support. And last, but also most importantly, we ensure the laces are securely tied. There is no need for anything of a sporty nature as we do not have to move that fast. We go for durability and crushing power.
Now that we're ready. We...uh...we...where'd they go? Hold on. Shhh for a moment. If we stand here for a little longer. You need to train your ear for the right sounds. Is that? Yes. I hear it. Just in the distance. That's the sound of someone on flat ground falling over nothing.
Now, let's get this finished.

I took these two Photographs when everyone was returning to their Motor Cars in order to continue our Journey East to Mount Vernon.
Notice the two handles sticking out of the front of the Rail Car. These handles can be slid front to rear through the car. When extended out from the car, they provide Leverage for Lifting the Front or Rear of the Car. Using these Handles, you can lift the Front or Rear to maneuver the car onto the tracks. This is usually done at a grade crossing to minimize the effort need to Set the Car onto the Track. Some cars have Turntables underneath with electric motors to lift the car, greatly reducing the physical work required to set the car onto the track.
The Depot now belongs to the Telfair Museum of History, which is located at 8 Sixth Street, McRae-Helena, Georgia 31037. The Museum Telephone Number is: (229) 868-7114.
On April 22, 2006, I rode a Speeder from Pitts to Mt. Vernon, Georgia on a trip sponsored by NARCOA (aka North American Rail Car Owners Association). Since I don't own a Motor Car (aka a Speeder) , I rode with my friend Bill, who owns two Motor Cars. These are some photos of Water Towers that I saw during my trip on the Heart of Georgia Railroad. We started our trip from Pitts and traveled East, passing through the towns of Glenwood, Alamo, Helena, Milan, Rhine,

The Jupiter factory in Pripyat is a legend. The official history is alleged that they made cassette recorders and other minor parts, but most of its shops made different products. Secretly (allegedly) in the factories they were developing and assembling military computers and “black boxes”, those products were mysteriously named “Product No:”. It is not officially known what the products were used for but We can only assume that most of them were used for military submarines, fighters and even in the space industry.
The dimensions of the factory are huge. While the majority of the population of Pripyat were working at the Power plant, the remaining residents were employed by this factory. Jupiter had been functioning up until the moment when power generation was halted at the Powerplant. Chernobyl NPP was the main source of power for the factory.
Today it is abandoned. Even though people left it not so long ago, it still has many Soviet machines, devices and other stuff.
Named for the nearby Pripyat River, Pripyat was founded on 4 February 1970, the ninth nuclear city in the Soviet Union, for the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. It was officially proclaimed a city in 1979, and had grown to a population of 49,360 before being evacuated a few days after the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl disaster.
Though Pripyat is located within the administrative district of Ivankiv Raion, the abandoned city now has a special status within the larger Kiev Oblast (province), being administered directly from Kiev. Pripyat is also supervised by Ukraine's Ministry of Emergencies, which manages activities for the entire Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
Access to Pripyat, unlike cities of military importance, was not restricted before the disaster as nuclear power stations were seen by the Soviet Union as safer than other types of power plants. Nuclear power stations were presented as being an achievement of Soviet engineering, where nuclear power was harnessed for peaceful projects. The slogan "peaceful atom" (Russian: ?????? ????, mirnyj atom) was popular during those times. The original plan had been to build the plant only 25 km (16 mi) from Kiev, but the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, among other bodies, expressed concern about it being too close to the city. As a result, the power station and Pripyat were built at their current locations, about 100 km (62 mi) from Kiev. After the disaster the city of Pripyat was evacuated in two days.
A 35 man (plus guides) trip to the Ukraine exploring Chernobyl, the village, Duga 3, Pripyat and Kiev including Maidan (Independence Square) and observing the peaceful protests underway.
Some new faces, some old, made new friends and generally we were in our elements.
Rhetorical question but did we have a blast? You bet!
Amazing group, top guys. Till the next time!
