No 7802 'Badley Manor' departs Bewdley for Kidderminster with the last scheduled passenger service of the day.
Tofu is active in the morning and relaxes in the afternoon. The photo was taken on Sunday but as Tofu doesn't have to work he sticks to this schedule during the week too. What changes are the places where he descides to spend his afternoon siesta. On Sunday he chose the rocking chair in the living room.
Stirling Castle is one of the largest and most historically and architecturally important castles in Scotland. The castle sits atop an intrusive crag, which forms part of the Stirling Sill geological formation. It is surrounded on three sides by steep cliffs, giving it a strong defensive position. Its strategic location, guarding what was, until the 1890s, the farthest downstream crossing of the River Forth, has made it an important fortification in the region from the earliest times.
There have been at least eight sieges of Stirling Castle, including several during the Wars of Scottish Independence, with the last being in 1746, when Bonnie Prince Charlie unsuccessfully tried to take the castle.
Stirling Castle is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, and is now a tourist attraction managed by Historic Environment Scotland.
On my final day of railfanning the Appleton Sub, I achieved my goal of shooting L661 with the BN SD60M leading. Living in Indiana, it takes a great deal of effort to see BN predecessor schemes. So when I learned the schedule of the local on the old Milwaukee mainline, I had to spend some "September Skies" in Minnesota and South Dakota.
Here at Appleton, MN, L661 is on former GN rails and behind me will traverse a connection to reach the Milwaukee mainline. This would be the first shot a a fantastic afternoon.

Over the coarse of the past few weeks', Zachary had said to me a few times that he grabbed some old Logan boxes to see some "Old stuff" I have in the collection. I certainly do not consider 2003 to be old, however looking back, I guess it is. Back in 2003 on the New England Central, the jobs from Palmer to New London usually ran with matched blue and gold GP38's, while the road trains killed us with former UP and GATX patched leasers. Schedules were very favorable for chasing, especially on weekends and many of us took full advantage of it. So I guess I'll raise my coffee cup this morning to this one of train 608 with 4 matched 38's cruising through downtown Stafford Springs, CT on a chilly October 2003 morning. Today, we do not live in "normal" times, and there are only a few of the painted NECR Geeps left, making it a rarity.
Hello my beautiful people!! how are u? I hope you are well, I missed you <3
Well, this description will be somewhat different, since I write for you and some of my sponsors.
First of all, a thousand apologies for being sooo inactive, my flickr was suspended due to the new rules and I had to wait almost a week for the problem to be solved.
Second, I've had to delete almost all of my photos from old to some new (in this case, the ones I felt didn't meet the “safe” standard).
And third and last, I will be making posts a little less constant because my university scheduled me in the afternoon and I hardly have much time between jobs, projects and exams, because I have to redo my schedules and get used to it. However, after so many obstacles I am still encouraged and always committed to continue making my posts, always giving my best. I hope you can understand and that, despite this, you continue to trust me to be a blogger ♥️ Without further ado, I hope you all have a nice and excellent day, thanks for stopping to read.
After this short but long commercial break , today, I bring you one of several new photos that I hope you like and give it many likes, comment what you think, follow me (i follow back :x) and share with your friends, it would help me a lot to continue growing and improving to be a better blogger every day <3
I love you very much, keep taking care of yourselves and meet your daily goals my loves!!

We went into a deep freeze a couple of days ago. It started with snow, of which we only got about 1", but it stayed. This morning, it's still -8C (17.5F). This leaf was lying on our outdoor patio table before the cold, and I got a few shots of it then, and it was still there after the snow, so I took some more.
Apparently, our Arctic Outflow warning has ended now, and it should slowly go back to regularly scheduled milder winter weather.
Amtrak's California Zephyr train No. 6 has crested 7440 ft. Soldier Summit the morning of Jan. 17, 1987. The tiny brick D&RGW train order depot, at the time used by maintenance of way, was demolished by April the same year.
Completed in 1810 by John Rennie, the spectacular Dundas Aqueduct carries the Kennet & Avon Canal over the River Avon and is a Scheduled Monument. It was the first canal structure to be designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument in 1951.
Named after Charles Dundas, the first chairman of the Kennet and Avon Canal Company, the aqueduct forms the junction between the Kennet and Avon Canal and the largely derelict Somerset Coal Canal. The short stretch of the Somerset Coal Canal still in water forms Brassknocker Basin, used for boat moorings, cycle hire and a cafe. A short walk further there is the Dundas Wharf where the small tollhouse, warehouse and crane still stand.
West Kennet Long Barrow a Neolithic tomb, situated on a prominent chalk ridge, near Silbury Hill, one-and-a-half miles south of Avebury, in Wiltshire.
The site was recorded by John Aubrey in the 17th century and by William Stukeley in the 18th century.
Archaeologists classify it as a chambered long barrow and one of the Severn-Cotswold tombs. It has two pairs of opposing transept chambers and a single terminal chamber used for burial. The stone burial chambers are located at one end of one of the longest barrows in Britain at 100 m: in total it is estimated that 15,700 man-hours were expended in its construction. The entrance consists of a concave forecourt with a facade made from large slabs of sarsen stones which were placed to seal entry.
The construction of the West Kennet Long Barrow commenced about 3600 BC, which is some 400 years before the first stage of Stonehenge, and it was in use until around 2500 BC. The mound has been damaged by indiscriminate digging, but archaeological excavations in 1859 and 1955-56 found at least 46 burials, ranging from babies to elderly persons. The bones were disarticulated with some of the skulls and long bones missing. It has been suggested that the bones were removed periodically for display or transported elsewhere with the blocking facade being removed and replaced each time. Recent re-analysis of the dating evidence suggests that the 46 people all died within 20 – 30 years of each other, and that the tomb was open for 1,000 years.
The latest excavations also revealed that the side chambers occur inside an exact isosceles triangle, whose height is twice the length of its base. Artefacts associated with the burials include Neolithic Grooved ware similar to that found at nearby Windmill Hill.
It is thought that this tomb was in use for as long as 1,000 years and at the end of this period the passage and chamber were filled to the roof by the Beaker people with earth and stones, among which were found pieces of Grooved ware, Peterborough ware and Beaker pottery, charcoal, bone tools, and beads. Stuart Piggott, who excavated this mixture of secondary material, suggested that it had been collected from a nearby 'mortuary enclosure' showing that the site had been used for ritual activity long after it was used for burial. The finds from the site are displayed at the Wiltshire Museum in Devizes, including some of the most impressive beakers from Britain.

Excerpt from www.insidehalton.com/news/metrolinx-new-drury-lane-pedest...:
The new Drury Lane pedestrian bridge opened to the public Oct. 31, 2025 after almost eight months of construction and five weeks behind schedule.
Andrea Ernesaks, Metrolinx senior media relations manager, confirmed on Monday, Nov. 3, the new pedestrian bridge connecting Drury Lane to Orpha Court over the railway tracks will stay open. It is safe for use by cyclists and pedestrians, while “minor finishing works will be taking place over the coming months.”
Anticipated work in the area during the next four to five months, according to a notice on the Metrolinx website, includes landscaping and restoration to the construction area.
Metrolinx started the project with demolition of the original 53-year-old bridge on March 7. An original Sept. 26 opening was delayed.
Burlington cycling advisory committee member Corey Finnigan said he rode over the new bridge for the first time Tuesday, Nov. 4.
“The ramps are not as steep as they were and the corners are 90 degrees instead of 180. So overall the bridge is much easier to navigate on a bike or with a stroller or shopping cart,” Finnigan stated in an email.
He said he’s happy he can once again cross the railway at Drury Lane and Orpha Street rather than having to use busier Burlington streets.
Finnigan said he’d assess how slippery the new bridge deck is once some snow and ice is added this winter but “so far, under dry and well-lit conditions, the new bridge is wonderful.”
The Metrolinx website noted a single bridge upgrade may not seem like a big deal, but the crossing provides “a vital connection point” to surrounding neighbourhoods.
“The new and improved structure will not only help residents and customers better access nearby Burlington GO Station and local amenities, but it also provides a crucial link for students who cross the rail corridor every day to get to and from the local elementary school just south of the bridge,” the post stated.
Benefits of the new bridge:
1. Improved pedestrian access and safety across the rail corridor
2. Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act compliance
3. Allows for potential electrification infrastructure to be incorporated into the rail corridor in the future
Nu ik al een aantal ÖBB Talenten op foto had weten te zetten, begon ik uit te zoeken wanneer ik een DB Talent – ook wel bekend onder hun bijnaam Hamsterbacke – voor de lens kon krijgen. Vanaf het balkon van ons vakantiehuis had ik namelijk al wat observaties gedaan, en die leerden me dat er om 10:46, 14:46 en 18:46 telkens een DB-variant vanuit Seefeld richting Innsbruck vertrok. Die tijden hield ik in mijn achterhoofd voor aan de overweg 😉.
Voor de geïnteresseerden: dit is trouwens gewoon te zien op het Fahrplanbild van de ÖBB. DB Talenten hebben namelijk zowel eerste als tweede klasse, dus je kunt ze op die manier makkelijk onderscheiden van hun ÖBB-tegenhangers. Maar ach, het was natuurlijk geen straf om op ons balkon te zitten, met uitzicht op de sneeuwbedekte bergen van het Inntal 😄.
Enfin, op dag 2 van ons verblijf had ik mijn eerste DB Talent al kunnen fotograferen aan het overwegje (die foto hou ik nog even achter de hand). Op dag 5, met opnieuw schitterend weer en lenteachtige temperaturen rond de 17°C, had ik met mijn oudste zoon een langere wandeling gepland. Mijn oog was gevallen op een route van Scharnitz – het Oostenrijkse grensstation – terug naar Seefeld. De eerste drie kilometer zou ik de spoorlijn volgen tot in Giessenbach. Een kwestie van strategisch plannen natuurlijk, want dat zou gegarandeerd nog een treinfoto opleveren.
Omdat ik tijdens de ochtenduren nog niet op pad was geweest deze vakantie, stond ik rond 8:30 op en begaf me opnieuw naar de overweg. Elke kans op een mooie foto moest benut worden! Na het fotograferen van twee passerende treinen, zag ik in de dienstregeling dat er om 9:56 een DB Talent zou toekomen in Seefeld, komende uit Garmisch-Partenkirchen – meteen ook zijn eindstation. Van die kant van het station had ik nog geen foto’s genomen, maar het leek me dat er vanaf de Riehlweg – die daar zo’n driehonderd meter parallel aan de spoorlijn loopt – wel een goede plek moest zijn.
Na wat heen en weer stappen vond ik inderdaad een mooi standpunt. En jawel, de Hamsterbacke werd naar volle tevredenheid vastgelegd!

After capturing several ÖBB Talent trains on camera, I started looking for opportunities to photograph a DB Talent — also known by its nickname Hamsterbacke. From the balcony of our holiday home, I’d already observed that DB trains left Seefeld for Innsbruck at 10:46, 14:46, and 18:46. Handy times to keep in mind for a quick visit to the crossing 😉
For those interested: this info is actually available in the ÖBB schedule. DB Talents have both 1st and 2nd class, so they’re easy to spot — but hey, no complaints about train spotting with a view of the snow-covered Inntal mountains 😄.
On day 2, I managed to catch my first DB Talent at the nearby crossing (photo saved for later). Then on day 5, with perfect weather and spring-like temps around 17°C, I had a longer hike planned with my eldest son — from Scharnitz back to Seefeld, following the railway for the first 3 km to Giessenbach. Smart planning, of course — always thinking of a good train shot!
Since I hadn’t been out much in the early mornings, I got up around 8:30 and headed back to the crossing. After photographing two trains, I noticed a DB Talent was due at 9:56 from Garmisch-Partenkirchen, ending in Seefeld. I hadn’t photographed from that side of the station yet, but the Riehlweg — which runs along the track for about 300 meters — looked promising.
A bit of walking later, I found the perfect spot. And yes — I caught the Hamsterbacke just the way I hoped.

Swissair Flight 111 was a scheduled international passenger flight from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City, United States, to Cointrin International Airport in Geneva, Switzerland. This flight was also a codeshare flight with Delta Air Lines. On 2 September 1998, the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 performing this flight, registration HB-IWF, crashed into the Atlantic Ocean southwest of Halifax International Airport at the entrance to St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia. The crash site was 8 kilometres (5 mi; 4 nmi) from shore, roughly equidistant from the tiny fishing and tourist communities of Peggy's Cove and Bayswater. All 229 passengers and crew on board the MD-11 were killed, making the crash the deadliest McDonnell Douglas MD-11 accident in aviation history.

Caen Hill Locks, Wiltshire
Situated on the Kennet & Avon Canal the 29 locks have a rise of 237 feet in 2 miles (72 m in 3.2 km) or a 1 in 44 gradient. The locks come in three groups: the lower seven locks, Foxhangers Wharf Lock to Foxhangers Bridge Lock, are spread over 3⁄4 mile (1.2 km); the next sixteen locks form a steep flight in a straight line up the hillside and are designated as a scheduled monument and are also known as one of the Seven Wonders of the Waterways. Because of the steepness of the terrain, the pounds between these locks are very short. As a result, fifteen of them have unusually large sideways-extended pounds, to store the water needed to operate them. A final six locks take the canal into Devizes. The locks take 5–6 hours to traverse in a boat
One I had not got around to posting. Back in September I went on a couple of days to see if I could get the sun rising over the locks between the trees. Alas I gather I was probably a day or 2 late but I did get one of those misty mornings where the mist hung over the canal and was gradually burnt off as the sun rose. Nice to get the narrowboats moored there and quite an atmospheric morning with just me and a couple of other Togs around.

The L519 Edson Sub local heads across the causeway at Wabamun Lake with a short train. With the Sundance Power Plant pretty much converted to natural gas fuel, a good chunk of traffic handled by the L519 (flyash from burning coal) has been dramatically reduced. With the lack of flyash traffic, the local only runs this far once a week, down from the 3 day a week service schedule of the past.
My daughter is hiding behind me in the far left of the image, apparently she did not like the horn on the 5367!
busy schedule today and the next days. So kick under my own bum to rise and shine, to wake up the best version of Emily, to ... ok i do need coffee!!
Amtrak #19 'The Crescent' is running a couple hours behind schedule passing through 'Bolton' as it departs Atlanta ,GA on their way west/south to Birmingham and NOLA.
Ohio Rail Experience's Lima Limited excursion from Springfield to Lima, OH ran pretty much like clockwork during their final weekend in October. Sadly, weather conditions for 3/4 of it were uncooperative, bringing rain and wind to strip the peaking foliage around Central Ohio away. Regardless, with a morning free on Saturday, I headed up to Springfield to intercept the special with CRR 800 at the helm for the Northbound leg. Here, the 800 departs Snyder Park in Springfield, OH right on schedule on a very damp morning.
Morondava (from Malagasy: morona lava "long coast") is a city located in Menabe Region, of which it is the capital, in Madagascar. It is located in the delta of the Morondava Rive. Its population as of the 2018 census, was 53,510.
The predominant tribe is the Sakalava. But there are also a few Betsileo, Tsimihety, Merina, Makoa and Europeans.
Air Madagascar has regular scheduled flights to Morondava Airport. The main road to town has been renovated recently. With the new road established, a trip from Antananarivo to Morondava by taxi-brousse takes approximately 12 hours. Pirogues are consequently a popular mode of transport used to ferry people and goods along the coast, especially to Morombe.
The city is famous amongst other things for the spectacular Avenue of Baobabs nearby. These giant baobab trees are an 800-year-old legacy of the dense tropical forests that once throve here. Over the years, as the country's population grew, the forests were steadily cut down, leaving only the baobab trees, which the locals preserved for religious reasons. Today, deforestation still continues as large areas of this region, including some of few remaining baobabs, are cleared to make way for sugar cane plantations.

Morondava (del malgache: morona lava "costa larga") es una ciudad situada en la región de Menabe, de la que es capital, en Madagascar. Está ubicado en el delta del río Morondava. Su población, según el censo de 2018, era 53.510.
La tribu predominante es la Sakalava. Pero también hay algunos Betsileo, Tsimihety, Merina, Makoa y europeos.
Air Madagascar tiene vuelos regulares al aeropuerto de Morondava. La carretera principal a la ciudad ha sido renovada recientemente. Con la nueva carretera establecida, un viaje de Antananarivo a Morondava en taxi-brousse dura aproximadamente 12 horas. Por lo tanto, las piraguas son un medio de transporte popular que se utiliza para transportar personas y mercancías a lo largo de la costa, especialmente hasta Morombe.
La ciudad es famosa, entre otras cosas, por la espectacular Avenida de los Baobabs que se encuentra cerca. Estos baobabs gigantes son un legado de 800 años de los densos bosques tropicales que alguna vez prosperaron aquí. Con el paso de los años, a medida que la población del país crecía, los bosques fueron talados constantemente, dejando sólo los baobabs, que los lugareños conservaban por motivos religiosos. Hoy en día, la deforestación continúa, ya que grandes áreas de esta región, incluidos algunos de los pocos baobabs que quedan, son talados para dar paso a plantaciones de caña de azúcar.
The white-tailed eagle is the largest UK bird of prey. It has brown body plumage with a conspicuously pale head and neck which can be almost white in older birds, and the tail feathers of adults are white. In flight it has massive long, broad wings with 'fingered' ends. Its head protrudes and it has a short, wedge-shaped tail.
This Schedule 1 species went extinct in the UK during the early 20th century, due to illegal killing, and the present population is descended from reintroduced birds.
What they eat:
White-tailed eagles are versatile and opportunistic hunters and carrion feeders, sometimes pirating food from other birds and even otters. They eat largely fish, but also take various birds, rabbits and hares.
Some pairs kill many fulmars, which are thought to be the source of DDT and PCBs (chemicals) recorded in eagle eggs. Carrion is an important part of their diet, especially during the winter months. Most lambs are taken as carrion.
When fishing, they fly low over water, stop to hover for a moment and drop to snatch fish from the surface.
During the breeding season while they are rearing young, they require 500-600g of food per day. This drops to 200-300g per day during the winter months when the birds are less active.
Both sandhill crane eggs hatched and out popped two precocious, healthy orangey-gold chicks, endearingly known as "colts" almost immediately ready to follow their parents out of the nest on their diligent foraging for worms and insects to feed the colts.
Interesting to note that these photos were taken exactly one year to the day from my images of the 2019 hatchlings. These guys really keep to a tight schedule!
Soooo excited for this year's Levitation fest! Brian Wilson, Super Furry Animals, SunnO))), Boris, Courtney Barnett, and many amazing indie international bands are playing!

The River Taff and bridges at Pontypridd on 14 May 2024.
A view upstream on the River Taff at Pontypridd, with the Victoria Bridge of 1857 nearer and behind it the William Edwards Bridge of 1756. The older bridge is Grade 1 Listed and scheduled as an ancient monument. At the time of its completion, its 140ft / 43 m arch was the longest in Britain (and one of the longest in the world), and remained such for forty years.
On the left behind the bridges is the Pontypridd Museum, opened here in 1986 in what had been the Tabernacle Welsh Baptist Chapel that was built in 1861. Much of the interior, including the organ, remains in place.
For further information see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Bridge,_Pontypridd
Stonehenge a Scheduled Ancient prehistoric monument located 2 miles west of Amesbury in Wiltshire.
One of the most famous sites in the world, Stonehenge is the remains of a ring of standing stones set within earthworks. It is in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred burial mounds.
Archaeologists believe it was constructed from 3,000 BC to 2,000 BC. The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3,100 BC. Radiocarbon dating in 2008 suggested that the first bluestones were raised between 2,400 and 2,200 BC. Another theory suggests the bluestones may have been raised at the site as early as 3,000 BC.
The site and its surroundings were added to the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986 in a co-listing with Avebury Henge. It is a national legally protected Scheduled Ancient Monument. Stonehenge is owned by the Crown and managed by English Heritage, while the surrounding land is owned by the National Trust.
Archaeological evidence found by the Stonehenge Riverside Project in 2008 indicates that Stonehenge could have been a burial ground from its earliest beginnings. The dating of cremated remains indicate that deposits contain human bone from as early as 3000 BC, when the ditch and bank were first dug. Such deposits continued at Stonehenge for at least another 500 years.

Located at the Intracoastal waterfront in downtown West Palm Beach, the Bristol condominium will rise to 25 stories with a total of 69 Units. The building is scheduled for completion in 2018. Residences will be offered views of the Ocean, Intracoastal, Palm Beach Island and City Skyline. The price range for these units will be between 5,000,000 and 18,600,000.
The Old Bridge in Huntingdon (now part of Cambridgeshire, England) is a well-preserved medieval stone bridge over the River Great Ouse, connecting Huntingdon to Godmanchester.
The town has long been an important bridgehead, with Ermine Street (connecting London to Lincoln and York), as well as various east–west trade routes, crossing the Great Ouse here. Ermine Street would have first crossed the river here via a ford, believed to be some way to the west of the present bridge. Edward the Elder built a wooden bridge in the early 10th century a few yards to the west of the current bridge, and also ordered the nearby Huntingdon Castle to be rebuilt. Until the 1107 construction of the first bridge in St Ives, it is believed that there was no bridge further downstream, and foreign trade would navigate the river as far upstream as Huntingdon.
Responsibility for the bridge's repair was for centuries a matter of dispute. In 1259 a court ruling finally ordered that the county should pay to keep it repaired in return for rendering the bridge toll-free. Nonetheless, the bridge remained in a poorly maintained state, and by 1329 was declared to be in severe danger of collapse.
The current bridge was constructed around 1332, with work starting on both banks or the river. The slight kink near the central pier was a result of the lack of alignment of the two halves. Consisting of six arches and faced with ashlar, the parapets which form recesses for pedestrians, are triangular in shape on the north side, and semi-hexagonal on the south.
It was intended for both pedestrian and horse-drawn transport (the bridge has recesses for people to stand to let the heavier traffic pass), but now serves exclusively for light vehicular traffic. Pedestrians use a parallel footbridge just metres upstream, and heavy goods vehicles must use the modern bridge, which forms part of the A14 bypass. However, until that was built in 1975, the narrow medieval bridge stood alone, and had to be used by both lorries travelling the [Old North Road] and footgoing shoppers, to the dissatisfaction of all parties.
The bridge is now Grade I listed and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
In 2006 an entire portion of parapet was struck by traffic and plunged into the river, the repair has been done to English Heritage standard.
Named for the Greek god of fear, Phobos is one of Mars' two moons (Deimos, named for the god of terror, is the other), and it's only about 13 miles (21 kilometers) across. Stickney Crater, the indentation on the moon's lower right, is about 5.6 miles (9 kilometers) wide in this image from the HiRISE aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Despite its small size, Phobos is of great interest to scientists: Is it a captured asteroid, or a chunk of Mars that broke off after a massive impact? A Japanese mission is scheduled to launch to Phobos in the near future, and the moon has been proposed as a staging ground for astronauts before they go to Mars.

Last night was the annual Million Mask March through central London. After the troubles last year, such as the burning of a police car there were a lot more police on the streets, and they were much more assertive in dealing with protesters.

With spectacular views over Derbyshire, the fairy-tale Stuart mansion, Bolsover Castle, was designed to entertain and impress. Its reputation for revelry lives on. Behind these doors are the lavish rooms of the Little Castle (referring to a section of the castle).
Bolsover Castle, Derbyshire, is an exceptional 17th-century aristocratic retreat which was built on the site of a medieval castle founded in the 12th century by the Peverel family.
The site is now in the care of English Heritage and is a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument (nationally important).
With a Tim Horton's mug full of fresh coffee in hand, engineer Mitchell and conductor Beattie climb aboard CITX 3071, a former SOO Line SD40-2, next to the old Canadian Pacific station at Sherbrooke, Quebec. Described by Mitchell as a "Monday to Friday railroad", train no. 2 from Brownsville Junction, Maine to Farnham, Quebec was running nearly 38 hours behind "schedule" on this particular Sunday afternoon.
