Notes: Trial Bay had been recognised as a safe shipping refuge from southerlies ever since its naming after the wreck of the Brig Trial in 1817. Between 1863 and 1866 some 90 ships and 243 lives were lost, forcing the NSW Colonial government to act. In 1870 Parliament voted £10,000 towards the construction of a breakwater to form a “harbour of safe refuge” at Trial Bay.
The Trial Bay Gaol was established in 1876 as an experimental Public Works Gaol where the inmates would construct the breakwater. Although work started in 1877, it was not completed until 1886 due to difficulties in working the hard stone, inconsistent funding and contractual problems.
This may be a settlement that housed the building workers on the gaol, there is evidence of stone working in the right foreground. There is also a telegraph pole and wire on the slab building in the left foreground. The gaol site is situated behind and to the photo right. The settlement appears strangely deserted, the residents may be hard at work on the gaol building.

Just got back from a stay in Whitby. The NYMR don't officially begin their 2024 timetable until 23 March, but they were running diesel trains during the week that I was there - possibly as some sort of trial service to get staff up to speed for the new season? Anyway, here is Class 25 D7628 'Sybilla' leaving Whitby.

Fantic mounted Mark Scott runs up the stream bed in section one. This stream is a tributary of the river Lagan.

CN’s trial Prairie States local (L544) pulls limestone empties from the Praire States power plant near Lively Grove, IL to interchange with the Kaskaskia Port railroad at Lenzburg. The local was created due to the L548 local crew regularly timing out returning to STL after swapping with L546 at New Athens. L546 work of picking up empties and/or fly ash, running up to Lenzburg to set out and returning with limestone loads seemed to be a bit much. This is the second week of the trial run of L544. Thanks to MH for the info on this new move. Two SD70s lead today's consist, IC deathstar #1028 and CN (IC) #1037.
Site of the Hog Trial in the Hatfield-McCoy feud.
Three historical markers at the site read:
"McCoy Cemetery. Among the graves in the McCoy Cemetery are those of Randolph McCoy's three sons -- Tolbert, Pharmer, and Randolph Jr. -- all killed by the Hatfields. Also buried here are Alifair and Calvin McCoy, who were killed by the Hatfields when cabin was burned. Cemetery is part of the Hatfield-McCoy Feud Historical District."
"Hog Trial. In 1873 Randolph McCoy accused Floyd Hatfield of stealing his hog. A trial followed, presided over by Reverend Anderson Hatfield, justice of the peace. To be fair, the jury consisted of six Hatfields and six McCoys. One witness, William Staton, stated he had seen Floyd mark the hog's ear. This resulted in Floyd's acquittal."
"Hog Trial Site. In the fall of 1878, Randolph McCoy brought charges against Floyd Hatfield for stealing one of his hogs. The resulting trial occurred here and was presided over by the local justice of the peace, Preacher Anderson Hatfield. Preacher Anderson was Devil Anse Hatfield's cousin and did not want to appear biased so he gathered a jury of six Hatfields and six McCoys to hear the case. When the jury reached a verdict, Selkirk McCoy, nephew of Sarah McCoy and a veteran of the Virginia Confederacy, sided with the six Hatfields in favor of Floyd. The McCoys felt betrayed and open hostilities soon erupted between the Hatfield and McCoy families. Later Bill Staton, who testified in favor of his brother-in-law Floyd Hatfield was killed by two of Randolph McCoys nephews while he was hunting. They were tried and acquitted in a trial presided over by Valentine Hatfield, uncle of Devil Anse. After this, violence between the families continued and the resulting conflict eventually escalated into the most famous feud in American history."

Trials are like fire. How?
Remember that the fire that melts the butter, is the same fire that hardened steel.
Do you melt or hardened by trials?
If we endure opposition and persecution with the right attitude, it can build endurance in us. This will help us to weather future sufferings. We read: “Consider it all joy, my brothers, when you meet with various trials, knowing as you do that this tested quality of your faith works out endurance.” (James 1:2, 3) Similarly, Romans 5:3-5 informs us: “Let us exult while in tribulations, since we know that tribulation produces endurance; endurance, in turn, an approved condition; the approved condition, in turn, hope, and the hope does not lead to disappointment.” So the more we now endure trials because of our Christian course, the better equipped we will be to endure further trials in this wicked system of things.
