On a sunny day in June, Portland's Eastern Promenade is a great place to be. There are cool breezes, plenty of grassy hillsides for a picnic and even beaches, for those who don't mind water temperatures in the high 50s. In this scene, the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Company's excursion train is pictured crossing Cutter Street, which leads to a public parking lot with bathhouses for the beach-goers. On the point is Bridgton & Saco River #7, which is the museum's largest operable steam locomotive. Because this short, 1.3 mile line does cross public roads, this railroad is FRA-regulated and all steam locomotives which operate here are required to have current FRA Form 4s. This image was captured in 2018, not long after the #7 returned to service, after a lengthy restoration process.
Caribou Crossing Bridge, Carcross, Yukon Territory, Canada. Historic truss bridge on the White Pass and Yukon Route Railway. The town of Carcross is about 70 miles north of Skagway, Alaska.
Carcross, originally known as Caribou Crossing, is an unincorporated community in the Territory of Yukon, Canada on Bennett Lake and Nares Lake. It has a population of 431 (June 2008) and is home to the Carcross/Tagish First Nation.
It is 74 km (46 miles) south-southeast by the Alaska Highway and the Klondike Highway from Whitehorse, at 60°10′12″N 134°42′13″W. The south end of the Tagish Road is in Carcross. Carcross is also on the White Pass and Yukon Route railway.
Caribou Crossing was a fishing and hunting camp for Inland Tlingit and Tagish people. 4,500-year-old artifacts from aboriginal people living in the area have been found in the region.
Caribou Crossing was named after the migration of huge numbers of caribou across the natural land bridge between Lake Bennett and Nares Lake. That caribou herd was decimated during the Klondike Gold Rush, but a recovery program raised the number of animals to about 450.
The modern village began in 1896, during the Klondike Gold Rush. At the time, Caribou Crossing was a popular stopping place for prospectors going to and from the gold fields of Dawson City.
Caribou Crossing was also a station for the Royal Mail and the Dominion Telegraph Line, and it served as a communications point on the Yukon River.
In 1904, Caribou Crossing was renamed Carcross as a result of some mail mix-ups with the district of Cariboo in nearby British Columbia, Canada.
Silver mining was promoted nearby in Conrad, Yukon in the early 1900s, but there was little to be found and mining efforts soon ended. Mineral exploration continues today, but tourism is far more important to the economy of the community. The book Fractured Veins & Broken Dreams by Murray Lundberg details a nearly complete history of Conrad.
Carcross relies on tourism to support the local economy. It lies on the Klondike Highway between Whitehorse and Skagway, Alaska and offers a variety of historic attractions and outdoor activities. Popular with road traffic including tour buses and RVs, in 2007 the White Pass railway also resumed service to Carcross railway station.
Just north of the town is the Carcross Desert, often referred to as the "world's smallest desert."

This week's theme for The Teleidoscope is Obsession.
TOTW this week is Pieces of Me
Obsession is a persistent and recurrent thought or idea with which the mind is continually and involuntarily preoccupied
Of course I obsessed over the theme all week and finally decided that at times, the line between passion and obsession is quite thin.
It occurred to me that passion is from the heart. But passion can grow into obsession when it overtakes the mind. I walk that line frequently. Photography is certainly my passion and at times is definitely my obsession.
