Buffer stops at Rugby station. The track has recently been removed as part of a redevelopment / resignalling project.
Installation of saturated buffer in Story County, Iowa, on land farmed by Justin Hanson. Dan Jaynes of USDA ARS inserts panels into a water control structure. The panels divert water from field tile into tile that run parallel to the stream, saturating the strip of land bordering the stream. Native prairie plants seeded in the buffer then remove nitrates from the water.

Installation of saturated buffer in Story County, Iowa, on land farmed by Justin Hanson. A water control structure is a key component; it either diverts water from field tile to the perforated tile that runs parallel to the stream--which saturates the buffer-- or allows water to bypass the buffer, depending on how many panels are inserted into the structure to divert flow.

Section of Bear Creek on land farmed by Justin Hanson where a saturated buffer will be Installed. Story County, Iowa.

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 is diverted to this tile from the water control structure that lies within a seeded buffer, the soil below becomes saturated. The roots and plant uptake then denitrify the water.

Had a go at recreating the excellent wood/stone buffer stop by Karwik (www.flickr.com/photos/karwik/4748535761/in/album-72157624...)
This picture was taken on a trip to the Royal Deeside Railway at Milton of Crathes on the railways diesel gala. On one of the brake van shuttles the trip reversed to the buffer stops and we couldn't get any closer without derailing!
Memoria a nuclei di ferrite utilizzata come buffer per le unità nastro all'interno del GUN (Governo Unità Nastro). È costituita da una miriade di anellini di ferrite, di circa un millimetro di diametro interno, percorsi ciascuno da tre fili (quattro in alcune implementazioni): x, y e lettura/inibizione. Ogni anellino rappresenta un singolo bit.
Questo genere di memoria veniva fabbricato a mano, quasi come fosse un tessuto, e spesso il lavoro veniva affidato a donne abituate a operare con aghi e fili di piccole dimensioni, per esempio cucitrici e ricamatrici.

Improving Water Quality through Riparian Buffers
Water are Riparian Buffers?
Riparian buffers are vegetated areas near a stream or lake that help shade & protect the water from adjacent land uses. Buffers help soil erosion & runoff, improve wildlife & fish habitat, encourage water to filter into the ground, & provide shade to decrease the warming of the water.
Why Mayfield Pond?
Mayfield Pond is a human-made pond that was created by the Swainston Creek. This creek is a tributary of the Boardman River, which is prized for its Coldwater fish habitat. As Swainston Creek enters the pond, water slows, warms up, & is then released into the creek again below the dam. This warm water increases the temperature in Swainston Creek & the Broadman River. The Broadman River Flows into West Grand Traverse Bay. An increase in temperature decreases the amount of oxygen in the water available for organisms, such as trout, & changes the composition of species int he stream-this is called thermal pollution.
Why Native Plants?
The buffer at Mayfield Pond was designed to still allow fishing across & clearance while creating shade that will reduce the amount of warm water that is released into Swainston Creek. All the vegetation is native to this area & will need very little upkeep once it becomes established.
This buffer was created in cooperation with the Watershed Center Grand Traverse Bay & the Grand Traverse Conservation District. Funding for the project was provided by a grant from the MDBQ.
Whilst walking up the hill next to Newport the other day (it doesn't have a name marked on the map but there is a trig point up here), I took a large number of photos of the Tay Road Bridge. Instead of uploading four of basically the same thing, I thought I'd group them all together and present them as one.
The top left photo was taken from where the trig point stands, whereas the top right photo was taken from a great point where the bridge appears to be floating on water. I have taken advantage of this view before, prior to the installation of the shipping buffers. There was also less of a heat haze that day.
The bottom left photo is my favourite of the group as it has it's the most colourful and it takes advantage of the sun's position in the sky a little better. The bottom right photo was the last one I grabbed before treating myself to a bacon roll.
Speaking of the bacon roll, I walked up to the booth and asked for one, the response went a little like this:
"I know you asked for bacon but... there wasn't". I was even offered lorne as an alternative. Unlike Michaels B&B, I just waited ten minutes and I got my bacon roll.
Growth in a saturated buffer along Bear Creek on land farmed by Justin Hanson in August, 2016 after it was seeded with a prairie mix the fall before. It will take time to establish the prairie plants.

My new railway track for the many railway models I find myself building. It has third rail electrification and realistic treated wood sleepers.

Do these really serve any effective purpose in this condition? Cf my shot of the stops at Crewe the same day.
This person was driving impatiently behind me in the buffered lane. When I stopped to take their photo they figured out what was going on and merged back left. Note the green merging area for cars to cross the buffered lane into a right turn lane -- there are a few of these along the course.
The new buffered bike lanes were installed this weekend on SW Stark and SW Oak in downtown Portland
If you didn't see these buffer stops (which is very unlikely!) you could finish up in the entrance lock. The strange objects at the base of the left buffer stop are plastic dragon heads for use in dragon boat racing.
Taken at 10:02 on Sunday 22 July 2012.
The beginning of the Stark St. buffered lane is at the new Zoobomb Pyle at SW 14th. Note the truck unloading in the parking zone without blocking the bike lane (I noticed this was often a problem on NYC's similar infrastructure). Also note the auxiliary Zoobomb pyle at the bike staple next to the monument.
