Buffer getting ready for a go on the skidoos

The railway trackbed continues a short way on beyond the end of Downs Link, until it reaches these buffer stops.

Given the wheels, they may not be originals.

After the buffer stops the track originally ran to connect with to the line west of Shoreham-by-Sea station. However the old trackbed is all sealed off.

Today's early-evening Bala train was CN's 185 heading to the container facility at Prince Rupert, BC. It's funny how the CN and CP trains always seem to converge on the Reynolds unidirectional crossover at roughly the same time. Today CP113 arrived just a minute or so ahead of the CN trains causing a halt on the Bala (as CP requires a twenty minute buffer) that evolved into an even greater delay when radio troubles emerged between 113 and the RTC. As per usual the CP113 wasn't much to look at - CN Bala - CN3327(AC44C6M), 3343, 3004(ET44AC), 2858(ES44AC)

ECML electrification is progressing on 10th November 1989 at Morpeth with the masts erected but not yet wired. Buffer fitted Power Car 43080 leads the 06:00 Kings Cross to Aberdeen service as it leaves Morpeth behind. The tracks swinging off on the left lead into the small yard at Morpeth, used to stable DMUs on Morpeth terminating services and to the Blyth & Tyne route.

A happy old buffer!

Installation of saturated buffer in Story County, Iowa, on land farmed by Justin Hanson. A line of tile is installed parallel to the stream. When water from field tile from a sloping field on the right is diverted to this tile from the water control structure (foreground of picture) the seeded buffer becomes saturated. The roots and plant uptake then denitrify the water. October 2015.

A chiming German style mechanical clock with moving figures (Fred the grinder, Elsie the buffer) that represent Sheffield's steel cutlery trade. The figures come out [The figures are in rotating cubicles, when closed the facade shows only paneling] to display - either singly or together - each time the clock chimes, every quarter hour.

Grass buffers can be used to filter surface waters leaving an agricultural field

Buffer, my cocker spaniel, looking out the patio door in my parents' living room. She used to sit there for hours just watching the world outside. She loved that spot. It was her favourite. She would have been eight years old at the time of this picture.

You can see the snow on the pool out the window and you can tell that Buffer has her winter fur.

In semi-commemoration of my first buffer overflow (via uCTF at Micro Corruption), I had an idea.

I have a fair bit of extra-old RAM SO-DIMMs just floating around. And buffers are usually in RAM. And when they overflow, what should they look like?

Apparently I came up with this stack.

Lit using my SB-28DX, snooted, to the right, and up about 4 feet on a light stand. Also lit using a Goal Zero Luna LED light, powered by the Guide 10 Plus, through a small taped-up styrofoam diffuser.

The Danbury Garden Club in Connecticut received a grant from the Albert & Helen Meserve Memorial Fund for educational materials for the Lake Kenosia buffer gardens. The grand opening June 30, 2012 included tours of Lake Kenosia and the buffer gardens. Here’s a project that the Danbury Garden Club's Civic Committee worked on to support the Lake Kenosia Commission to educate the public regarding the purpose of buffer gardens at Lake Kenosia in Danbury.

A better picture now the vegetation has died back (and a drier day!) of the buffers at Fen Drayton.Looks like the contractors have sprayed the entire area with systematic weedkiller because all the bramble has died off and everything is crispy.

The only clue that this used to be a major rail route is the telegraph post beside the buffer.The track originally used to go on for another 1.5 miles to St-Ives station (demolished in 1978),but that was lifted sometime in the 1970's and made into a road so ARC (Amalgamated roadstone corporation) could use it as an access road for their sand & gravel quarrying works which was done extensivley in the area.ARC used the old line to deliver sand down to Kings Cross London until 1992.

The buffers are bright red

Hoboken's first buffered bike lane was striped on Clinton Street between 15th Street and 16th Street. On very wide streets, a buffered area is striped next to bike lanes for added safety.
