Maumee and Western work train that never did any work to the track......I think the engine was.If you are referring to GP20 WRIX 3 --> we (Western Rail) rebuilt that locomotive, chopped the nose, painted it black and sent it to Oklahoma on lease to Savage
Industries.

Courtyard of Château de Compiègne, Compiègne, Hauts-de-France, France
Some background information:
Château de Compiègne is a French royal residence built for Louis XV and restored by Napoleon Bonaparte. It is located in the town of Compiègne in the department of Oise, about 80 km (50 miles) north of Paris, where the river Aisne flows in the river Oise.
The extensive residence used to be the third most important ruler’s palace in France, after Versailles and Fontainebleau. From the 6th to the 11th century, its predecessor buildings were already the preferred residence of the Merovingian and Carlovingian kings.
However, the first French royal residence was built in 1374 for King Charles V. A long procession of successors both visited it and modified it. In those days Compiègne was the summer residence of French monarchs, primarily for reasons of hunting in the adjoining Compiègne Forest. King Louis XIV, the "Sun King", resided in Compiègne some 75 times and King Louis XV was perhaps even more favorably impressed. The Comte de Chevergny described his proclivity for the château: "Hunting was his main passion... and Compiègne, with its immense forest, with its endless avenues amongst the trees, with its stretches down which you could ride all day and never come to the end, was the ideal place to indulge that passion."
In 1750, prominent architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel proposed a thorough renovation of the chateau. Work began in 1751 and was finished in 1788 by Gabriel's student Le Dreux de La Châtre. The ancient town ramparts dictated the château's triangular plan. The resultant building covers about 20,000 square metres (five acres). It is neoclassical in style, with simplicity and clarity governing both its external and interior features.
During the French Revolution, the palace passed into the jurisdiction of the Minister for the Interior. In 1795, it was essentially gutted: All furniture was sold and its works of art were sent to the Muséum Central in Paris, today known as the Musée du Louvre. Napoleon Bonaparte visited Château de Compiègne in 1799 and again in 1803. In 1804 the château became an imperial domain and in 1807 he ordered it be made habitable again. Architects Berthault, Percier and Fontaine, decorators Dubois and Redouté, and cabinetmakers Jacob-Desmalter and Marcion restored the château. Its layout was altered, a ballroom added, and the garden was replanted and linked directly to the forest.
The result is an example of First French Empire style (1808 to 1810), though some traces of the earlier décor have survived too. The novelist Auguste Luchet wrote that "Compiègne speaks of Napoleon as Versailles does of Louis XIV". From 1856 on, Emperor Napoleon III and his wife Eugénie made it their autumn residence, and redecorated some rooms in the Second Empire style.
Today Château de Compiègne is open to the public. Visitors can find three distinct museums within the chateau: the apartments themselves, the Museum of the Second Empire and the National Car Museum, founded in 1927, with a collection of carriages, bicycles, and automobiles.
With its more than 40,000 residents, Compiègne is the subprefecture of the arrondissement Compiègne. It is a beautiful little town with two main sights: Château de Compiègne and the Glade of the Armistice in the Compiègne Forest. The Glade of the Armistice was the site of the signing of two armistices: the 1918 Armistice with Germany and the 1940 Armistice with France. Hitler specifically chose the location, and had the original signing carriage moved from Paris to Compiègne, as a humiliation for the defeated French.
The site still houses several memorials to the 1918 armistice, including a copy of the original railway carriage. The original was moved to Berlin after use in the 1940 armistice, as a trophy of Nazi triumph. The railway carriage was later taken to Crawinkel in Thuringia in 1945, where it was destroyed by SS troops and the remains buried. A replica now replaces it at the original site in the Compiègne Forest.
Cerovačke špilje 13. VIII. 2002
Among the most renowned and significant speleological structures are the Cerovac Caves , located in the southern part of “Velebit Nature Park ”.
This 3-tier complex (Lower Cave , Middle Cave and Upper Cave ) features around 7 km of explored channels. The first 700 m of the Lower and Upper Caves have been prepared for tourist visits.
These caves abound in traces from the distant past. In addition to large quantities of archaeological findings, they are also among the largest discovery sites of the cave bear in Croatia . One may easily spot claw marks gorged into the cave walls as the bears moved against them.
Water has worked for thousands of years to create dripstones. It is therefore vital to treat these cave ornaments with care and not touch them, as just a single careless move may put an end to a process that has been going on for decades.
The temperature in the caves is between 5o C and 11o C - warmer clothing, a head cover, and comfortable shoes are recommended.
How to reach: The Cerovac Caves are located 4 km from Gračac along the road towards Knin. If you intend to take the motorway, please take the exit to Sveti Rok. The distance between Sveti Rok and Gračac is 25 km.

Cerovačke špilje , smještene na južnom dijelu Parka prirode „Velebit“, među najpoznatijim su i najznačajnijim speleološkim objektima u Hrvatskoj. Kompleks čine 3 špilje (Donja, Srednja i Gornja) sa oko 7 km istraženih kanala. Za turistički posjet uređeno je prvih 700 m Donje i Gornje špilje.
Ove špilje su iznimno bogate nalazima iz davne prošlosti. Osim velike količine arheoloških ostataka također su jedno od većih nalazišta špiljskog medvjeda u Hrvatskoj. Tako ovdje možete i danas vidjeti tragove „brušenja“ medvjeda na stijenama nastale njihovim kretanjem uz stjenke špilja.
Voda svojim konstantnim kapanjem nastavlja tisućama godina star proces gradnje siga. Zato je iznimno važno da se stupajući špiljom ponašamo s poštovanjem prema istoj i ne diramo njene ukrase. Jer samo jednim nepromišljenim pokretom ruke prekinut ćemo proces koji traje desetljećima.
Temperatura u špiljama se kreće između 5 i 11o C stoga preporučamo topliju odjeću, pokrivalo za glavu i udobne cipele.

To finish off the Craigellachie Tunnel set, here's a striking shot of the northern portal, looking through to the retaining wall and bridge at the southern end. In order to capture the tunnel looking as bright as it does here, I did an initial light paint around the portal, followed by taking a walk through, swinging the torch as I went. I kept going in that manner until I'd walked the bridge at the other side. Despite it being quite windy, the ferns haven't suffered as much motion blur as they have in some of the shorter exposures I took at this point.
Just as a quick recap about the UK's most northerly tunnel, it's 68 yards in length and sits on a significant ledge above the River Spey but below the A95. The lining consists of stone along the side walls and brick across the crown and the southern approach is shored up by a substantial brick retaining wall and to bridge the cliff the railway runs half way down, there's a half bridge in place. All in all, there's enough to see here to warrant a visit if you're ever passing by, although it doesn't really justify a 300 mile round trip. With that said, we did spend the day looking at various other bridges and former stations so if you plan this as only being part of your day then it's well worth a look.
Only the top 4 inches was really cake. It was used for a display at a birthday party at a cupcake shop.

Supertree Grove

Glowing in the distance, mysterious structures loomed. Curiosity got the better of me, as I cut through the dense palm forest. It was a cloudless night, the moon was high in the sky, providing just enough light for me to follow a small path. Blood thirsty mosquitoes were also out in numbers, attacking every part of my body that was not covered.
As I got closer and closer, it became apparent to me how huge these structures were. Some were as tall as 50 metres, towering over the palm trees surrounding them. "What are their purpose? Who constructed them?", were the question I had in my head. Images of 'Night-Elves' from WOW came into my mind. I must be going crazy! The forest thinned out and a clearing appeared just at the base of one of the towers. I approached it with caution and looked up. This was what I saw: www.flickr.com/photos/jcheaphotography/7861652614/sizes/k...
Above was my feeble attempt to add a little adventure into my life. Do not worry! Accessing to the supertrees grove is very easy, it does not require you to cut through some forest and there are well lit concrete paths to follow. The mosquito part is quite true though! You could even enjoy the view from the OCBC skyway for a fee of 5 SGD. There is also a light show every night, which I find quite disappointing due to the lack of special effects or great lighting.

Part of a head structure for a pilot mine, Babbitt, Minnesota. While cleaning out some old papers I found a roll of Kodak Tri-X wrapped in a small piece of paper that simply said: "Push to 3200". I had no idea what was on it or if it was even worth processing, but went ahead and had it developed last week. After viewing the images, I realized I exposed this roll 29 years ago! The images are grainy (no surprise at ASA 3200!) and some of the images are quite dark, but I think a couple of good images will come of it.
View large for additional detail.
While I'm trying to figure out how to take this thing with me on a plane to afolcon next month, I thought I'd share a quick look at its 'private parts'.
The structure at the top is Kane's Bridge, a pedestrian bridge across the Yarra River in Melbourne, at Yarra Bend Park. It's a suspension bridge and sways enough when people are crossing that some are scared to! The structures lower centre are spider webs, highlighted against the light in the fog.
Post-processing involved simply using the black pointer on a levels adjustment layer because I was shooting against the light and some sun flare had reached my camera sensor.
Better on black!
OK for ABC-TV Weather
I'm not sure how to call this structure, but there are four of them: two at each end of the Maria Kristina zubia (Maria Cristina bridge)
