Union Canal connects Edinburgh and Falkirk, it is one of my favourite walks/cycles and so close to home.
A nice little sunburst through the trees and some framing by this giant tree on the Liberty Memorial Lawn.
Union Pacific SD70ACe #8518 displays the larger herald on the nose and also larger US flag next to the engine numbers than what was picked for the final version of their new lettering scheme.
It is seen heading Westbound on the N. Fork Branch at Bridgeport, CO with a loaded coal train that is heading out to Trona, CA.
A loaded ore train returns to Braddock, Pa as seen from the famous Westinghouse bridge.
This shot is a result of an effort to include railfanning with my trucking career resulting in finding a convenient parking spot for my layover about a ten minute walk from this location.
In the company of an MP15 over a quarter-century its junior, a Union Railroad TR5 set idles in front of the railroad’s roundhouse at Hall, Pennsylvania. Anyone who read model railroading magazines in the 1960’s and 1970’s surely remembers Athearn’s cow-and-calf ads for their EMD models. I believe that this was the only such set that I ever photographed.

La bandiera del Regno Unito (comunemente Union Flag o Union Jack) fu adottata nel 1801 in seguito all'atto di unione con il quale il Regno di Gran Bretagna e il Regno d'Irlanda si univano a formare il Regno Unito di Gran Bretagna e Irlanda. Derivata da una versione precedente adottata nel 1606, è anche stata la bandiera rappresentativa dell'Impero britannico.
Alcune ex-colonie britanniche e reami del Commonwealth (ad esempio il Canada) danno ancora status ufficiale o semi-ufficiale a questa bandiera. È l'unica bandiera al mondo ad aver sventolato su tutti i sei continenti contemporaneamente: Europa, Nord e Sud America, Africa, Asia, Oceania e Antartide. Ancora oggi la Union Flag è presente nel cantone di alcune bandiere nazionali: Australia, Nuova Zelanda, Figi e Tuvalu. Inoltre è presente su tutte le bandiere delle dipendenze britanniche d'oltremare (tranne Gibilterra) e sulle due bandiere degli Stati associati alla Nuova Zelanda: le isole Cook e Niue.

It was your comments that made me realize I had a theme of transportation going here, and that really is the story of this town situated on the Oregon Trail. The distances involved in the great American West are gigantic, and the arteries of transportation directly determined the patterns of settlement. Here on this morning, literally within a few hundred meters of each other, I had photographed a horse and wagon, a river boat and a train - all the main characters of very recent history in this area.
On a different note, Blanca was rather terrified of the locomotive that made the ground shake as it went by!

Established in 1891, Hotel Union Øye gained notoriety when the aristocracy and luminaries of Europe sought experiences to indulge in nature without sacrificing luxury and comfort. With its convenient location amid the peaceful village by the Hjørundfjord and surrounded by a majestic mountain range, Hotel Union Øye was praised for its glorious intimacy by royalty, including Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany, King Oscar II of Norway and Sweden, and Queen Maud and King Haakon VII of Norway.
Today, while the property has gone through expansions and renovations, the decor and authenticity of Hotel Union Øye remains, inviting a journey into the past to when dignitaries roamed the halls.
Hotel Union Øye, a member of Historic Hotels Worldwide since 2012, dates back to 1891.
Took this one at the Union Station in Denver, CO. This rickshaw taxi had the awesome lights when I took the picture, so I was lucky enough to capture it. Used Lightroom to bolden up the colors and light trails.
Union Pacific's Little Mountain Local is pictured 3.25 miles down the branch just north of Plain City, Utah the afternoon of May 10, 1994. The 13.27 mile line from Little Mountain Junction (near Hot Springs on the Ogden Subdivision) to Great Salt Lake Minerals became redundant after the UP-SP merger in 1996. The route was abandoned in Dec. 1997 and became the Little Mountain Rail Trail by June of 2002. Timeline from UtahRails.net
