For Steam Sunday here's another from what was unquestionably the longest train chase of my life...well over 500 miles from DeQuincy, Louisiana to the Mexican border at Laredo, Texas (though not in one day)!
This is Canadian Pacific 2816, the famed 'Empress', an H1b class 4-6-4 Hudson built by Montreal Locomotive Works in 1930. Orignally retired in 1960 after there decades of pulling CP passenger trains the locomotive was purchased by F. Nelson Blount for preservation as part of his Steamtown collection in Vermont. It later moved with the rest of the collection to Scranton until CP purchased it back from the National Park Service in 1998. Returned to service in 2001 she operated until 2012 when E. Hunter Harrison took the reigns at CP. Eight years later Keith Creel (EHH's successor) reversed course and she was fired up for a test run and then a second restoration began which was completed in 2023.
As a way of celebrating the approval and consummation of the Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern Railway merger on April 14, 2023 CPKC is running a tri nation tour across the length of their newly combined network. The trip began in Calgary on April 24th and concluded in Mexico City on June 7th before returning home for a total of three months on the road and 9000 miles round trip!
Here she is paused for a service stop in a strange land far from her historic home rails operating across Union Pacific trackage rights on modern day UP's Houston Sub the former Southern Pacific (T&NO) Sunset Route mainline. She is sitting just east of the Van Hut Lane crossing at about MP 350.8 near the eastern city limits and will soon be on the move toward Englewood Yard and through downtown on her way to Sugarland, Rosenburg and ultimately home rails in Kendleton where she'll rest for a couple nights.

Pressed into service on a beautiful July day is this ERM class Routemaster. It's one of a pair on loan from Edinburgh for the summer operating season in Glasgow. Captured here in Saltmarket, alongside the entrance to Glasgow Green.
A tranquil moment inside a restaurant where the frenzied lunch crowd has all but dispersed. Room Service is a cozy and hip Thai restaurant located on 8th Ave in Chelsea of Manhattan. One of the things I love when on holiday is the opportunity to dine out at interesting places among the locals and tourists alike. Wandering the streets soaking in the sight, sound and smell is something I am never tired of. Have you ever noticed that the food always seem to taste better when you're traveling? Or how it seems you're always hungry?

A few changes at the Stagecoach Whithorn outstation since my last visit three years ago. The Volvo B7 Plaxton Profile's have gone replaced by three Volvo B9R Plaxton Elites for the School services. Here AE10 JTV backs into the depot after working a School contract.

昔この辺りにまちの城壁があって、19世紀後半に解体されましたが、この消防署の古いネオゴシックの建物は城壁の一部や煉瓦を利用して建てられたそうです。現在は城壁の一部も再現され、環境整備されてきれいになりました。

Here's the taxi rank, and one goose cab is off to a green area. The others gradually follow, reforming each time into another taxi...
It's easier, especially in strong winds for the geese to fly together. Even over a short distance, it's possible to see some geese drop back a bit as others come to the front. I don't know if anybody gets any tips!
According to a news report I once saw, some athletic trainers have urged their trainees to watch how geese work together to achieve their amazing flights.

Thomas Edison National Historic Park in West Orange, New Jersey. A workforce of about 100 men worked in small teams under Edison's direction to research and produce many of the finished items that came from the labs.
The laboratory buildings at the Thomas Edison National Historic Park represent a well-preserved collection of over 400,000 items connected to Edison and his inventions and research.
