Heyo, back from the Smokies, still alive, not a block of ice or eaten by a bear, all's well~
This is from one of the two times I turned my phone on last week at the top of one of the mts, I think like the second highest peak on the east side of the Mississippi or something. It was a pretty damn hard climb is all I know. I mean totally worth it though obviously.
I'm so sorry I've still been a little awol and haven't gotten around to answering emails and messages and things, I don't know what's up with me. It's just really hard to feel like social networking again if that makes sense, after not thinking about it for a while.
I don't know, there was one night after our group separated and three of us had to wade through streams all day and almost froze to death and ever since then posting things online's not been such a priority. It just sort of feels like such a shallow form of communication. Not that I'm trying to be patronizing or put the internet down, like, I love it and need it if I want to stay in touch with friends, but at the same time I wish I could just sit and actually look and talk to the people I love in person. Like what you post online isn't even a fraction of the whole story, you know. I want to know how everyone actually is but then it's not like any of us have the time to call or visit each other anymore. So much frustration aaaa
But anyway I was trying to watch a video on YouTube after I got home and it kept buffering and I found myself getting really frustrated and then I felt dumb because it seriously wasn't important. Our society is so obsessed with instant satisfaction which is funny since the things we make are the things that do all the buffering.
Just missn the natural world is all. So grateful to have walls and a pillow and a shower and all my limbs but definitely missn the simplicity.
Love yall, happy Sunday! Hope you guys have a wonderful week <3

At the peak of vibrant fall colours, an eastbound VIA train scoots along the wrong main to get around a slower freight train ahead. While VIA now requires buffer cars for its HEP fleet - parts of which date back to 1947, I was lucky this one had matching HEP cars acting as buffers on either end.

BAGS (Argentina) 4-6-0 steam locomotive with a passenger train. This was one of repeat orders from Beyer Peacock. Note the locomotive's upwards hinged buffers. Exact date and location unknown, but the two-axle wagon immediately behind the locomotive, which seems to be a wagon for carrying extra water for the locomotive, could be a clue. The entire BAGS network runs through the Pampa region where there is plenty of water. The only exception is the line that runs west from Bahía Blanca to the Alto Valle del Rio Negro and Zapala, passing through completely deserted stretches where there is no water. The photo may have been taken on that line and the type of vegetation seems to correspond to that of the Alto Valle, especially the poplars
Included in BAGS's fleet of Beyer Peacock locomotives were Nrs. 316 - 361, 426 - 445, 377 - 386, 446 - 455, and 250 - 259
The Buenos Aires Great Southern Railway (BAGS) (Spanish: Ferrocarril del Sud) was one of the Big Four broad gauge (1,676 mm) British-owned companies that built and operated railway networks in Argentina. The company was founded in 1862 and the first general manager was Edward Banfield after whom the Buenos Aires suburban station of Banfield was named, when it opened in 1873. After president Perón nationalized the Argentine railway network in 1948, it became part of the state-owned company Ferrocarril General Roca
