The Old Beechworth Gaol played a major role in the story of Ned Kelly, housing Ned (many times) his mother Ellen, his brother Dan, and many of his supporters.
The four men who wore suits of armour were Ned Kelly, Joe Byrne, Steve Hart and Dan Kelly.
CSX has been killing it lately here in Ohio, and the hits keep on coming with an all yellow Q348-11, lead by SD40N 1845 at QI-130 near Rushsylvania.

The IANR Oelwein Job rolls past the C&NW station sign at Armour just outside of Waterloo, Iowa with a nice four-pack of GP38-2s.
A foreign Union Pacific empty grain train traveling westbound on BNSF's Saint Joseph Subdivision has not one, not two, but five Armour Yellow locomotives in the lead. If my memory serves me correctly, most of them were online as the train accelerated out of Murray Yard.

Five big Armour Yellow units lean into the curve as they battle the 2.2% grade marching up Cajon Pass at about MP 471 on modern day Union Pacific's Mojave Sub. They still have more than 600 ft to climb before reaching the 3849 ft summit at Hiland nine miles ahead. This northbound manifest is meeting a southbound counterpart tucked in the 9515 ft long Canyon Siding.
This route is the famed Palmdale Cutoff that was built by the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1967. In SP days this train would actually be considered a westbound as it was headed toward the SP's headquarters city of San Francisco.
The Mojave Sub was one of the west's last great railroad construction projects surpassed only by the construction of the line into the Powder River Basin in the 70s and 80s. To learn more about the Palmdale cutoff check out this great link:

Of course the Espee was a latecomer to the pass with the first rails being laid in 1885 by a Santa Fe predecessor. That line still exists operated by BNSF as Main 3 of their Cajon Sub and is behind where I'm standing taking this while. Meanwhile out of sight in the foreground are BNSF's Cajon Sub Mains 1 and 2 which date from the Santa Fe's 1913 low grade line via Sullivan's Curve (with the 2nd track added in 2008). There is a lot to see and a lot to learn when you're here at this busiest of all mountain railroad passes!

The gastropod shell is part of the body of a gastropod or snail, a kind of mollusc. The shell is an exoskeleton, which protects from predators, mechanical damage, and dehydration, but also serves for muscle attachment and calcium storage.

The Crocodile's Toothache
The Crocodile went to the dentist,
And sat down in the chair,
And the dentist said, "Now tell me, sir,
Why does it hurt and where?"
And the Crocodile said, "I'll tell you the truth,
I have a terrible ache in my tooth,"
And he opened his jaws so wide, so wide,
That the dentist, he climbed right inside,
And the dentist laughed, "Oh isn't this fun?"
As he pulled the teeth out, one by one.
And the Crocodile cried, "You're hurting me so!
Please put down your pliers and let me go."
But the dentist just laughed with a Ho Ho Ho,
And he said, "I still have twelve to go--
Oops, that's the wrong one, I confess,
But what's one crocodile's tooth, more or less?"
Then suddenly, the jaws went SNAP,
And the dentist was gone, right off the map,
And where he went one could only guess...
To North or South or East or West...
He left no forwarding address.
But what's one dentist, more or less?
Shel Silverstein (1932 - 1999)
