My first solo wild camping trip was a great success capturing a great sunrise & sunset! The scene's i was treated to at the summit were typical Lakes, bare rock and a horizon line of endless hills and mountains.

Delaware-Lackawanna PO-75 works Ardent Mills at Pocono Summit, picking up grain cars that were dropped off a few days earlier. With its Canadian wide cab clearly identifying its heritage, I liked being able to get it leading a train with it being one of the more unique engines thanks to the cab. 10-22-21

The top of Stob Dearg as seen from the A82. Wasn't really much point in doing a colour image as there was no colour!!! Grey skies and grey rock meant B&W to bring out the textures.

Although Island Peak ....aka Imja Tse..... is a meer foothill in the Himalaya, many climbers are attracted to this peak annually. Here my wife is about to summit the 20,305' "hill". Ama Dablam is the high one on the horizon.

After a steep ascent up a loose gravel trail, in blazing August heat, the summit in Stelzer Park rewarded our effort with the discovery of an amazing cave formed by massive, jumbled boulders strewn about the peak. Accessed through a crevice in the stones, we slipped inside and experienced the cooling west wind as it flowed up the far mountain slopes from the Pacific and funneled through the cave.

On the Barlow Toll Road, Summit Meadows was an important rest stop for emigrants. Travelers who just crested the cascade range used the meadow to rest and prepare for the descent down the Sandy River. Despite the lack of edible grass for cattle and oxen, berries and water were plentiful. Today, the only remnant of this important stop are two graves.

Charging towards the summit at Cajon Pass, GE diesel electric locomotive 7313 and 7208 roar towards the peak before the long roll downhill to Barstow with an East bound BNSF container service from Los Angeles.

 

Locomotives 6707 and 7198 were at the rear as seen in the top left of the image banking the train.

CSXT 1851, the NC&STL Heritage Unit, leads intermodal train CSX I116 eastbound through Sand Patch, Pennsylvania.

Unfortunately when we reached the summit the lonliness was history.We had to wait for the departure of the train to get up there alone and only for 30 seconds....

Conveniently situated just off the A39, these Neolithic marker stones make a fine stop off point on my travels across the moor with the camera. (f/16, 16 mm, 1/6th sec at ISO 80).

One of the last two trains I would see in 2020 was Hackettstown to Hoboken train 854. It was shoved east through Summit by one of the last two NJ Transit F40s in revenue service.

The last in this series...at least for now.

A load of Routt County coal grinds its way up the 1.8% grade over Pallas Summit on the approach to a crew change at Phippsburg. The Denver and Salt Lake Railway chose to leave the Yampa River at Phippsburg and build west over the small summit separating the Yampa River from and Oak Creek. Oak Creek provided a longer and more gentile approach to the lower Yampa River Valley. The 4-6 train days of the early 2000's have turned into 4-6 train months on this stretch of railroad but it's not gone yet.
