After a mere 12 years in service it was withdrawn from Crewe South in November 1966. 63601 was built by the Great Central Railway at their Gorton works and put into service in January 1912. It was withdrawn from Frodingham shed in June 1963 after an operating life of 51 years.

Early days of a newbuild project of GCR 567, with the frames of a Class 2 4-4-0 of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway (MS&LR), which later became part of the Great Central Railway.
The project is located at the Nottingham Heritage Railway.

Packs of girls -- usually 4 or 5 in number and often with one of them the obvious leader -- patrolled the track around the football field. Many were constantly on their cell phones and seemed more made up for a party -- eye liner, eye shadow, etc. -- than a Thanksgiving Day, 10-o'clock-in-the-morning football game.
Melrose (in red) hosted Wakefield (in grey) and won, 15-14, beating Wakefield for the first time in 15 years. The win also gives Melrose the Middlesex League championship and a berth in the Eastern Massachusetts Class 2 playoffs.
I used a LEGO Powered Up motor and the associated battery box. I bought the Powered Up cargo train several years ago, on a whim and at a discount, and still hadn't opened the box. The battery box is clunky, so it wasn't easy to incorporate into the tender, but it fits. There are two removable panels: one covering the on-off switch and one that facilitates removing the battery box from the tender in order to swap batteries.
As diesel power continued to thrive, the L&N continued to invest in motive power for their system. In 1965, they purchased 22 new EMD SD35's for service, former L&N 1216 seen here in the Oak Ridge deadlines. The 1216 made it into the early years of CSX before being sold off to the Minnesota Valley Railroad, changing hands another handful of times before finding its way to the SARM safe haven. I love the amount of former L&N units preserved here and I hope to see them back in service one day.

When the Walden's Ridge Railroad acquired FA2 #605, they saved a treasure. This age old Alco began it's life on the L&N as #310 in June of 1956 and served the system wholeheartedly until it changed hands to the Long Island Railroad and wore several other paint schemes under the new ownership. The scheme it now rusts in was painted in the early 90's, yet nothing will ever beat the glorious black and cream of the L&N. One can only hope it may one day carry the blessed scheme again, though let us be thankful that this thing still exists.

The stone offers a large Christian Cross next to the roadside. Possibly once ornate coloured this elaborately carved stone has been a great decoration along this route for around one thousand years. On the side of the stone facing away from the road there is superb hunting scene. The carvings overall are assigned to a Pictish style and the stone is thought by many to be carved at the time of the Picts taking on Christianity as their religion. The move from Pagan to Christian iconography is easily seen in the Cross decoration. The working of the Cross and the style of the figures on the reverse indicates this was the Picts carving the stone. The stone may have once held Pictish Symbols on both sides and the Cross may have been used to cover one face and to purify the other. Easter Ross in northern Scotland, notable
The Hilton of Cadboll stone from Easter Ross in northern Scotland has a closely similar hunting scene to Aberlemno 3 it is now in the Museum of Scotland.

Aberlemno 3 like all of the stones at Aberlemno is the an amazing stone monument. The stone beautifully embraces the symbols inscribed by the Picts. The stone as seen from the roadside is a superb emblematic enigma. The symbols have historians, archaeologist and many interested parties proposing possible interpretations of the many Pictish Stones that have been found in Scotland. The Picts left no written accounts and the symbols need to be seen with a Pictish mind-scape, a glimpse into what the symbols meant for them. Whilst the debate continues the stones still attract much attention, they a beautiful and there human artistic sculpting definitely talks to the human consciousness. The contemporary voice from and with the stones gives ideas of raising a commemorative monument for a grave, boundary or ritual marker.

Aberlemno 3 is classified under the J Romilly Allen and Joseph Anderson's survey as a Class II stone.
Pictish stone - Classification
Class I — unworked stones with symbols only incised. There is no cross on either side. Class I stones date back to the 6th, 7th and 8th century.
Class II — stones of more or less rectangular shape with a large cross and symbol(s) on one or both sides. The symbols, as well as Christian motifs, are carved in relief and the cross with its surroundings is filled with designs. Class II stones date from the 8th and 9th century.
Class III — these stones feature no idiomatic Pictish symbols. The stones can be cross-slabs, recumbent gravemarkers, free-standing crosses, and composite stone shrines. They originate in the 8th or 9th century. Historic Scotland describes this class as "too simplistic" and says "Nowadays this is not considered a useful category. A surviving fragment may belong to a monument that did include Christian imagery".
