Do not clothe yourself in your woes lest they form bindings to leave you stranded in your place of desolation
S.S.
Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!
-- Isaiah 5:8, The Bible, King James Version
[So endeth the Lesson for the day (and beyond)...]

Couldn't resist posting this image after yet another cruise ship disaster
LOL....a cool little abandoned building we found while driving about. I liked that it looked like it had a face. Have a great week ahead everyone!
I have been torn between the idea of what I want to do and what I think I should do with my life. I realized that I had been following a path that was expected of me; whether I realized it or not. I complete high school, study at a college, get a degree, obtain a job, and then settle down. A very predictable and typical path. There is nothing wrong with it, but I never considered other options. I never stopped to think, "am I going to college and pursuing this degree because I want to or am I going because it is just something expected of me?" All these woes have been clogging up my thoughts recently.
Regardless, I love spending time with my silly companion Bebe. I took this a while back and I remember being displeased because Bebe was wet and covered in mud.
The steel wheel and the steel rail. It is an ingenious concept, a potential that was realized in the mid 1860s! Without both, the railroads we know today would most likely be absent from the transportation landscape.
Wood, capped with iron, comprised the first generation of track. All iron designs were to follow, a major advancement, allowing for heavier equipment to be moved. However, iron can be brittle, which doesn't bode well with keeping the train on the tracks!
In those same times, iron was also the choice for railroad wheel. Again, the brittleness issue arose during long periods of braking, fluctuations in temperature, and excessive weight of equipment and lading.
At the turn of the 19th Century, steel on steel became standards of the industry. Over 100 years later, the concept has not radically changed. Of course advancements were made, but in the 21st Century trains still utilize steel wheels to operate over steel rails attached to ties laying in rock. Pretty amazing!
However, nothing in the world of railroading is full proof. Problems do arise, whether it be a broken rail or cracked wheel. The deal breaker is when and where things go bad.
In my 26 years behind the throttle, I have witnessed a rainbow of abnormalities on the railroad. Sometimes incidents are averted due to the diligence of crews, while others are discovered by wayside detectors.
In the case of this wheel in question, the watchful eyes of a signal maintainer saved the day. Noticing sparks flying from a passing train, he radioed the crew and shared what he saw, accompanied by an estimate of a location of the troubled car in the train.
Upon inspection, the loaded car riding on this wheel had a handbrake completely applied. Not surprisingly, a boundup steel wheel, carrying a heavy load, being pulled at high speeds over steel rails has a dangerous result. It is referred to as "buildup."
The portion of the wheel riding on the rail is known as the tread. Interestingly, the contact area between the wheel tread and the rail head is about the diameter of a dime!
However, this small contact point generates enormous amounts of heat when the wheel is slid, rather than rolled, over the rail. The high temperatures from this friction trigger the process of tread build up.
If you focus on the wheel tread, a pattern of thin, overlapping layers is noticeable. It may come as a surprise that the material is not just meltdown from the wheel; it is a combination of both the wheel and the rail. As the wheel slides, a small layer of build up is developed. This process continues as layer after layer of wheel and rail materials accumulate.
If gone undetected, tread build up could derail a train. It is amazing that overlooking a simple task, such as releasing a handbrake, can create so much damage!
In the case of this wheel, it was obviously condemnable and the car was set out. Of course, this move was made at walking speed with a car inspector intently watching.
Once set out, a new axle was trucked to the car's location and installed. Depending on the amount of build up, some wheels will meet a welding torch to remove the material. The wheel then gets "trued," a process that profiles the contours of the wheel tread. Severely damaged wheels are no longer used and are scrapped.
Wheel Woes.
If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;
FACT
"Woe is me" is commonly known for being used in Shakespeare and Hamlet, but it was first used in the bible(the verse above)
This is the start of my new series "Dedicated to...", where I will be attempting to replicated some of my favorites photographers here on flickr. Worry not, whoever you are, I will be giving all the credit to you(: for the inpiration.
Dedicated to JustCallMe_♥Bethy♥. I love her edting. I love love love how she adda textures and glow to her shots. I tried to incorporate that into this shot. Hopefully this is a well done replication of her works.
