In Sallent de Gállego, most of the population is dedicated to activities related to tourism and/or livestock, so it is common to see cows or horses in the vicinity of the town, producing bucolic images like the one shown in the photograph.

Part of my afternoon stroll at Shorncliffe earlier this week. In the distance one may make out Moreton Island, a popular tourist destination and not too far by ferry from Brisbane.
1925 Baldwin built K-36 class number 480 has just arrived with a morning train from Rockwood. The line was temporarily truncated due to flood damage and so hadn't been able to use the full 45 mile route from Durango. These locomotives, although narrow gauge (3' 9' gauge) are immense and provide a tractive effort of 36,000lb which is put to good use on the steeply graded line. In the near siding the slightly smaller mikado number 373 sits silently waiting its next duty.
From Vancouver Biennale:
Title: WOW Westminster
Artist: José Resende (b.1945, Brazil)
Medium: Four corten steel shipping containers
Dimensions (H x W x D): 10.7 x 42.7 x 2.4 m (35’1″ x 140’1″ x 7’10″)
Weight: 15,422 kg (34,000 lbs.)
Location: Westminster Pier Park in New Westminster, British Columbia
This 140-foot-long installation, comprising four forty-foot shipping containers precariously cantilevered to form a “W,” was designed by the Brazilian artist José Resende and will become the dominant view along the Fraser River from the bridges above.
Marcello Dantas, the Vancouver Biennale’s senior curator credited with having chosen both the site and the artist, says, “Resende’s WOW WESTMINSTER is not only an interpretation of the economic activity of the Fraser River and the flow of goods through trains, ships and trucks: it’s also about capturing the energy and history of this transportation hub, the transformation of the City of New Westminster and its waterfront into a recreational arts and cultural playground. WOW WESTMINSTER will become a respite for citizens and an icon of the City and region for decades as viewers explore the riverside walk along Westminster Pier Park.”

CP 3002 leads the J21 south through Golden Valley as they approach the stop sign protected diamond that goes over the UP industrial lead. Still nice to see this GP38 roaming the rails.
Train 145 (left) heads into the Terminal Railroad Association's Madison Yard after holding the main for a while to allow other activity in the vicinity to take priority.
Meanwhile, a KCS Southern Belle at the lead of a string of Herzog hoppers is tied down on one of the freight sidings.
