Iowa Northern Railway train BUWA has IANR 4100, 3809, 3802, and 3803 for power on this December Sunday to make the run from Butler Yard near Shell Rock, Iowa to Bryant Yard in Waterloo. The train had 75 cars out of Butler, but have brought the head 15 into the CN Waterloo Yard for interchange. In the background EJE 667, still in orange, is paused in between it's duties as the yard switch engine, and a few other motors are laying around at the engine facility including EJE 658 in CN paint.
The CN is in the process of purchasing the IANR but is still awaiting STB approval, and so this is perhaps a bit of a look into the future. Meanwhile the past is well represented in this view too, as the Illinois Central Roundhouse here in the background has been present in at least in some form, (it's had stalls added and removed over the years) back to as far as 1901 (and possibly longer, it was hard to pin down a good date for the roundhouse construction from just some quick online research).
The Iowa Northern Railway uses the CN Mainline in Waterloo and Cedar Falls for a few miles from Waterloo West to Cedar Falls Junction as part of an arrangement going back to the 1980s and a highway project that saw the consolidation of some lines in Waterloo to make room for US 218. Normally from what I've seen the interchange work is typically done by the IANR in either direction at some siding tracks just west of Waterloo West and so they don't come into the yard like this. But occasionally when traffic warrants the CN will have the IANR come directly into the "A Yard" here at the Waterloo Terminal to make their setout and pickup as seen here. They would tie onto a cut of cars and shove back out of the yard to the rest of their train waiting on the mainline.
I had gone out after this BUWA even though it was likely to be a cloudy day because IANR 4100 on the point is one of the road's newest units (arrived to the IANR in August 2023 per some online notes, though it's originally a C&O unit) and still looks pretty sharp. But it was a nice bonus to get them making this less-common move, and this angle normally would be a heavily backlit-view if the sun were present.
Photograph of the nearly completed vessel 'Mauretania' in September 1906.
The West shed used to build the “Mauretania” was 728 ft long x 95 ft wide x 130 ft high complete with a glass roof. It survived until 1959.
RMS MAURETANIA was one of the most famous ships ever built on Tyneside.

CTrail train 6454 is pulling away from its stop at Windsor, CT on Labor Day 2021. The station here is undergoing its second round of construction in three years with two short high-level platforms being built. The original design for Windsor was to be similar to the stations in Wallingford, Meriden, and Berlin, but this was scaled back due to lack of funding.
La rocca Sanvitale, nota anche come castello di Fontanellato, è una fortezza situata nell'omonimo paese in provincia di Parma. Domina il centro abitato di Fontanellato e si caratterizza per il profondo fossato d'acqua, che la circonda completamente.
La storia dell'edificazione della rocca Sanvitale può essere fatta risalire all'anno 1124, quando venne eretta una prima torre di difesa.
Nel 1386 le terre di Fontanellato, con la relativa rocca, vennero cedute ai Sanvitale.
Nel 1404, al feudo fu conferito il rango di contea: fu in tale periodo che il castello divenne una residenza signorile di notevole prestigio. La rocca appartenne alla famiglia Sanvitale fino al 1948, anno in cui Giovanni Sanvitale la vendette all'amministrazione comunale.
The Rocca Sanvitale, or Sanvitale Castle, is a fortress residence located in the centre of the town of Fontanellato, near Parma, northern Italy. Construction of the moated block, accessible through a drawbridge, was begun in the 13th century, mostly completed by 15th century, with embellishments continuing through to the 18th century. It is prototypical of the urban castle-houses of the turbulent medieval communes of Northern Italy. Until the 1930s it was the home of the descendants of the Count of Sanvitale.
The crenelated walls and asymmetric towers are surrounded by an arcaded town. Adjacent to the castle are gardens and a courtyard. The optical chamber (camera ottica) has an optical system in place that projects to an inside wall a view of the town through mirrors and a prism. Rocca Sanvitale is now partly a museum and partly offices and conference hall for the town administration.
No matter where you look in New York City-- or from what angle- the sights and sounds of building and road construction are unavoidable
I will be at ACP (Atlanta Celebrates Photography) on October 13th. After the portfolio review all the photographers will have an open house. Check out www.acpinfo.org for more info. If your in the area stop in.
Took a walk at the construction site nearby, still quiet, as today is Lantern festival and the workers have not yet returned from their hometowns where they went to celebrate Spring Festival, the Chinese New Year.
Destruction of the old houses is complete and only rubble remains and here and there an old toy, a broken pot, pieces of green glass, old tiles and red bricks.
Everything is in place for construction to begin behind brand new white walls as soon as man power is back. Do not know yet what will rise up from the rubble.
The people who lived here have moved to new apartments somewhere else. I know some of them moved happily and some found it very hard to depart their hundred-year- old homes beside the river.
