You'll remember we had a boat trip to the Amalfi coast and towns and a rough trip back to Sorrento! Once back on dry land at Marina Piccola, any queasiness subsided and we headed back to the hotel. The rain had actually eased too, but the girls ahead still decided to carry their umbrellas in case of any lingering raindrops!!

I captured this image of a male Little Owl in one of my Apple trees in my back garden. He had just swooped down into the back field and caught this earth worm!

Thank you for taking the time to view my images, happy to receive feedbck.

Having safely descended the treacherous grade off Millstone Hill via the switchback Vermont Rail System's Washington County Railroad crew is headed west at MP 8.1 on the Montpelier and Barre Division. They are crossing South Main Street (VT Route 14) wirh seven loads of granite armor rock from the Northeast Materials quarry trailing green GMRC 804 (a GP9r blt. Oct. 1955 as NW 13) and red VTR 206 (a GP38-3 206 blt. Oct. 1969 as SOU 2718 and originally a high nosed straight GP38). At the small yard in downtown Barre they will pick up more loads then head into Montpelier where the whole string will temporarily be left while they run light down to Montpelier Junction to pull empties from the NECR interchange.

This is the historic Barre Railroad mainline opened in 1888 as the famed 'Sky Route' funded by local interests to reach the quarries. Here is a great historic article from 1889 about this railroad:

After delivering a half dozen cars to the Mass Coastal interchange they are now headed back west with four empty gons for Mid City Scrap and one load of lumber for DBS. They are seen here rocking along at about MP 3 in the woods east of Hixville Road.

GP9 1706 which was blt. Nov. 1954 as Florida East Coast 658 is now in the lead followed by GP9 1705 which was originally built in Apr. 1956 as Great Northern 704. Both units (plus 1701 in Millis) were allegedly included in the sale to MC and it is uncertain what their future will hold.

Canola field and a gravel road between White Fox and Nipawin, Saskatchewan. This scene looks (and felt) very rural, calm and serene, but a major paved highway is close by, in the distance.
