What is left of a coal train derailment in 1981. It was east of downtown St. Paul, on Shepard road. Note all the coal around. I was deliverying to the SOO Line railroad now CP at St. Paul's Pig's Eye yard at the time, they thought a coupler broke and the back part of the train ran into the front and made a major mess.

If anyone knows the artist(s)...
I have seen such cool ones on flickr that I thought I would like to try one. I think it will be good for me. So far I have mostly been doodling, tracing things from my pocket, scratching bits of it, and chewing one page enthusiastically as per instructions.
Believe it or not this is a FOOTPATH - this (pedestrian) traffic hazzard miraculously disappeared after it was featured in the local paper...

We enjoyed a hike up to the Train Wreck near Whistler. It’s such an interesting contrast between the forest and the bright paint of the graffiti filled box cars. Our return along Trash Trail and the beautiful Cheakamus River rounded out a great family hike!
I guess this is a revetment from WW II? Maybe some Canadian can tell me.
It is at Wreck Beach between trails 4 and 3 from UBC
I took off the bandages to let my knee and elbow breathe and they kept seeping this orange shit. it was dripping down my leg. fucking GROSS.
When the tide goes out at Berrow, near Burnham-On-Sea, the bones of a long dead ship stick out of the sands as a stark reminder of a savage gale and a gallant rescue at the end of the last century.
It all started during the first days of March 1897 when a howling south westerly gale swept up the Bristol Channel, bringing with it high seas, driving snow and sleet.
Many ships soon found themselves in distress, among them the Norwegian barque SS Nornen which had tried out to ride out the storm in the lee of the Lundy Roads but had found her anchors dragging. She was being driven towards Berrow mud flats. The crew desperately tied to save her, but were fighting a losing cause.
Off the side of Bear Creek Trail we spotted this old wreck. It is a 1941 Buick Coupe. Thanks to our lack of snow in this area it has held up remarkably well.
