The Lower Bridge, Antietam Creek. Antietam Battlefield. Sharpsburg, MD. Early morning.
The view is to the west, from the Federal position, facing the Confederate defenders in the Quarry and the town of Sharpsburg.
In the third and final phase of the battle, Federal troops, under the command of General Ambrose Burnside, spent most of the day attempting to take the bridge, and in the process sustained terrible casualties. The bridge was eventually carried, and Federal forces approached Sharpsburg and the Army of Northern Virginia's headquarters. Confederate troops, under the command of General A.P. Hill, directly entered the battle after a 17-mile march from Harper's Ferry which they had begun eight hours earlier. Confederate counterattacks pushed the Federal left wing back behind Antietam Creek, and this effectively ended the Battle of Antietam.
This picturesque bridge was once the scene of the bloodiest day in American history. The bridge spans Antietam Creek near the town of Sharpsburg, Maryland. On September 17, 1862 Confederate and Union troops clashed on these grounds in the single bloodiest day of the Civil War. Fewer than 500 Confederate troops repeatedly repulsed Federal assaults made on this bridge by General Ambrose Burnside’s much larger Ninth Corps. The Union soldiers eventually took the bridge, but it cost them dearly. The bridge is named after General Burnside. Some historians have argued that the Battle of Antietam was the turning point of the war.

Burnside Bridge is located in Washington County, Maryland and crosses the Antietam Creek. It was constructed in 1836 and was heavily involved the American Civil War. In September 1862, during the Battle of Antietam, it was defended by Confederate troops. It is now closed to vehicular traffic. Pedestrians are permitted to cross. The large sycamore tree on the left side of the bridge is called the witness tree as it appears as a young sapling in photos taken of the bridge just after the battle.

Three different EMD models team up on a northbound intermodal as they depart Burnside, Kentucky and cross Lake Cumberland.
My brother is visiting for Christmas, so we tried to set out time to go shoot. With the family and all, the only real time we could go was at night. I had tried to shoot the Burnside Bridge wit the sign in the distance before. My good friend Eric Gail was up once, but my images just were not quite right. I set out with Mark Straite to shoot it again. We had a good night, it was clear, but damn cold. It was below freezing when we captured this image. You can't tell but if you listen hard you can hear our knees knocking. The benefit of shooting it at this time of year is the red nose on the White Stag Portland sign. This is many layers, some for the sky, some for the dark parts of the bridge, others for the sign. Let me know what you think.
NS 148, with a brand new AC44C6M leading, crosses the Cumberland River Bridge in Burnside as it heads north toward the Queen City
I spent my afternoon coffee break photographing some of the cute mushrooms I'd found in a planter box just outside our corporate HQ. I used my body / a diffuser to bring them into the shade, and the light filtering through a lavender bush made for a nice background.

Norfolk Southern freight crosses the Cumberland River on the ol' CNO&TP in Burnside, Kentucky. The Jordan Baptist Church here gets rattled several times a day.
NS 168 heads north on the CNO&TP through Burnside, KY, as it spans across the impressive Cumberland River bridge in town. Would you believe that two consecutive days at this spot would only yield 2 northbound shots? With the other being none other than a 1x1 C6M leader… yawn.
Gotta love the Rathole.
South Shore has heir daily haul from BRC Commercial Ave Yard in tow back down on almost "home" rails. Kensington and actual home rails is only a mile or two ahead. The Belt mainline flies above the Illinois Central electrified territory.
NS 144 crosses the Cumberland River Bridge as it exits Burnside for the run toward Cincinnati with one of only 10 NS SD70Ms leading.
This is 'Burnside', a Federation and heritage-listed house, circa 1904, situated along Arnold Street in Killara, in northern Sydney, next to the historic St Martins Anglican Church.
I discovered this house on my recent walking expedition around the suburbs of the 'North Shore' of Sydney. So this house is in 'Killara', which is an indigenous word meaning "always there" (as in "permanent"), which is indeed a rather odd name for a suburb.
Here is some information about the historical nature of the Sydney suburb of 'Killara':

In 1862, there was a battle here as Confederate forces tried to keep Union forces from crossing this bridge over Antietam Creek. Eventually, the Union, under General Ambrose Burnside, took the bridge, but it took the army so long to cross it, Confederate forces from Harper's Ferry, West Virginia, had arrived to help in the fighting later on.
Now, it's a beautiful foot bridge in a bucolic setting. It's hard to imagine the battle that took place here.
