Raining? cant be bothered to get the bike off the van? Reverse under the kitchen canopy, using the bracket to prevent bike removal. Ta-DAAA!
After a near fly off going through NYC, Alex came up with a better system of securing our bikes to the roof.
A random snapshot of the main body of the manual railway switch that is located on the former New Orleans Great Northern Railroad main line, now Canadian National Railway's Bogalusa Subdivision at the semi-abandoned former Monticello Tie and Timber Company spur track in Monticello, Mississippi.
The former Monticello Tie and Timber Company spur track is pretty much abandoned within the former company's fenced-in property as the current occupant company makes wooden pallets and they strictly use semi-trucks but on the outside of the fenced-in property, the track is still being used as a parking spur for the railway company itself like today, it is being used as a storage track for two former Illinois Central flat cars that are used by one of Canadian National Railway's Ohio railway derrick cranes and a Berminghammer pile driver hammer that are being used to replace the old wooden trestle bridges with steel and concrete bridges on the Bogalusa Subdivision.
The padlock and chain are there to keep non-railway workers from tampering and messing around with the switch as well as the possibility of causing a major derailment when and if the track switch was not set to the main and it would have become a major headache for the railway company to deal and clean up as well as causing serious injuries and possible deaths to the crews on the local trains and the only one local that passes through here is Canadian National L579, the Ferguson-Bogalusa Local that goes back and forth daily on this line.
