Dropped down off the top of the Downs to walk under the ridge for a while. Not sure how this hill got its name...

Situé entre le centre-ville du Cap et les contreforts de Signal Hill, Bo-Kaap doit son nom à l’expression afrikaans qui signifie “au-dessus du cap”. Aujourd’hui, il est connu comme l’un des endroits les plus instagrammables du pays, grâce à ses maisons aux couleurs pastel.
À l’époque de l’apartheid, Bo-Kaap était soumis au Group Areas Act de 1950, qui permettait au gouvernement de séparer la population en déclarant des quartiers séparés pour chaque race ou religion. Bo-Kaap a été désignée comme une zone réservée aux musulmans et les personnes d’autres religions ou ethnies ont été expulsées de force. En fait, Bo-Kaap était la seule zone du Cap dans laquelle les Malais du Cap étaient autorisés à vivre. Elle était unique en ce qu’elle était l’un des rares emplacements du centre-ville à être réservés aux non-blancs: la plupart des autres ethnies ont été transférées dans des township tels que Khayelitsha

Bo-Kaap owes its name to the Afrikaans expression meaning 'above the cape'. Today, it is known as one of the most Instagrammable places in the country, thanks to its pastel-coloured houses.
During the apartheid era, Bo-Kaap was subject to the Group Areas Act of 1950, which allowed the government to segregate the population by declaring separate areas for each race or religion. Bo-Kaap was designated as a Muslim-only area and people of other religions or ethnicities were forcibly evicted. In fact, Bo-Kaap was the only area in Cape Town where Cape Malays were allowed to live. It was unique in that it was one of the few inner-city locations reserved for non-whites: most other ethnicities were moved to townships such as Khayelitsha
B&O's Mineral City local soars over the roof tops of houses in Mineral City with loads of crude for a refinery in Pennsylvania. The oil was collected from loading racks at the end of the Huff Run branch which was a switchback from near the south end of the trestle. The 860 ft trestle crossed over Huff Run and the switchback then went 3 miles up the creek to reach the loading racks. Before oil was loaded, the branch was built to reach a coal mine, several brick yards and a sand/gravel operation. Oil gave new life to the branch and 3-4 times a week, the local would bring 10 loads back to Akron. A new loading rack was built in 1985 several miles to the north that allowed removing the trestle and the branch,. The W&LE bought the line from the B&O in the early 90's and continues to move oil from the new terminal between Mineral City and Sandyville. August 1974

International Women's Day
Felicidades a todas las mujeres trabajadoras, es decir a todas y punto. 8 de Marzo, su día!!!
Congrats to all working women, that's all of them. March 8th, their day!
With improving finances as a result of the influx of money from the C&O in 1962, the B&O started receiving new GP30's. And they created a new 'Sunburst' logo for the locomotive nose to celebrate. The GP30's were the only power to be delivered new in the scheme but it was applied to some other units for a short time. The GP35's that came later in 1963 were in a simplified blue Capitol Dome scheme.
I can remember being an even younger railfan than when I took this in April 1965 on one of my first trips to the B&O being very disappointed when one of the old cab units showed up on a train instead of one of the shiny new GP30's that we were hoping to see. Fortunately I didn't let that disappointment stop me from shooting this westbound crossing the EL at JO Tower in Akron in April 1965. I suspect most of us went through learning to focus on the older stuff and less on the new shiny things. The tower was back by the signal bridge barely visible in this shot.
Hopefully Flickr gets this one posted correctly. My last posting didn't seem to go through to everyone quite right.

The B&O's Mineral City local or Oil Train as we called it crossing Nimishillen Creek in North Industry Ohio on a gray day during the Christmas break of 1972. For a contemporary view of the W&LE at this location, see Poker2662 's post. www.flickr.com/photos/poker2662/26686023685/ . This was originally part of the CT&V that ran down the Cuyahoga valley from Cleveland through Akron and Canton to a connection with the Pennsy (C&M) and the Wheeling at Valley Junction.
