Concorde
Concorde (/ˈkɒŋkɔːrd/ KONG-kord, French: [kɔ̃kɔʁd] ⓘ) is a retired Anglo-French supersonic airliner jointly developed and manufactured by Sud Aviation and the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC). Studies began in 1954 and a UK–France treaty followed in 1962, as the programme cost was estimated at £70 million (£1.77 billion in 2025). Construction of six prototypes began in February 1965, with the first flight from Toulouse on 2 March 1969. The market forecast was 350 aircraft, with manufacturers receiving up to 100 options from major airlines. On 9 October 1975, it received its French certificate of airworthiness, and was certified by the UK CAA on 5 December.[4]
Concorde is an aircraft design with a narrow fuselage permitting four-abreast seating for 92 to 128 passengers, an ogival delta wing, and a droop nose for landing visibility. It is powered by four Rolls-Royce/Snecma Olympus 593 turbojets with variable engine intake ramps, and reheat for take-off and acceleration to supersonic speed. Constructed from aluminium, it was the first airliner to have analogue fly-by-wire flight controls. The airliner had transatlantic range while supercruising at twice the speed of sound for 75% of the distance.[5]
Delays and cost overruns pushed costs to £1.5–2.1 billion in 1976 (£12–16.7 billion in 2025). Concorde entered service on 21 January 1976 with Air France from Paris-Roissy and British Airways from London Heathrow. Transatlantic flights were the main market, to Washington Dulles from 24 May, and to New York JFK from 17 October 1977. Air France and British Airways remained the sole customers with seven airframes each, for a total production of twenty. Supersonic flight more than halved travel times, but sonic booms over the ground limited it to transoceanic flights only. Its only competitor was the Tupolev Tu-144, carrying passengers from November 1977 until a May 1978 crash, while a potential competitor, the Boeing 2707, was cancelled in 1971 before any prototypes were built.
On 25 July 2000, Air France Flight 4590 crashed shortly after take-off with all 109 occupants and four on the ground killed. This was the only fatal incident involving Concorde; commercial service was suspended until November 2001. The remaining aircraft were retired in 2003, 27 years after commercial operations had begun. Eighteen of the twenty aircraft built are preserved and are on display in Europe and North America.

It took years of testing to convince the public it was safe to fly that fast. Although the famous Concorde first flew in 1969, the supersonic turbojet didn’t begin carrying commercial passengers until 1976. Meanwhile, test pilots broke record after record. On this day, Sept. 26, in 1973, the Concorde made its first nonstop flight across the pond, from D.C. to Paris, in a record-smashing three hours and 32 minutes. A Boeing 747 took twice as long to go as far.

CP 135 blasts by Arkwood after getting clearance from Kent Bridge to 1045 due to lots of Forman work on the line. When entering Chatham, it would be stopped yet again by a malfunctioning crossing, where 103g was applied. A normal day on the CPKC I would say...
I'm sitting at work on Monday and I notice that it is getting darker outside. I figured it was going to rain, so I didn't pay it any more attention. Well it got a lot darker and I looked out the wondow and it was looking a bit nasty so I quickly went to www.wixt.com our news channel to look at the radar to see what was going on. In red right up at the top of the page was TORNADO WARNING. I know the difference between watch and warning adn all we have ever really gotten up here were watches, which means that the conditions are favorable to produce a tornado. THe warning means that something is up and you need to keep your eye to sky and pay attention to your surroundings because one is trying to form or one has already formed and is on the ground.
I quickly went over to the weather channel website and got more details. It was telling me that at 2:50 this storm would be right where I was. The time was 2:45. All I wanted to do was to get home to my house and my kids. School dismissal is at 2:50. I fly out the door at work, jump in the van, pull to the end of the driveway away from all the trees and come face to face with this lovely wall cloud. I'm telling you I almost wet my pants. Since I only live 5 miles away I figured I would get home rather quickly. Well I thought wrong. About a mile away from work I started getting pounded by hail that was the size of half dollars. It was so loud inside my van. The intensity and the loudness was just insane. The whole lasted for about 5 minutes but I swear it was the longest 5 minutes of my life. No tornado actually touched down, but it tried forming several times out of this wall cloud. This shows the time elapsed photography from our news website:

The 2018 CSX Santa Train spent an additional night in Kingsport due to a derailment that used up the available crews. So, lucky for me, I was able to capitalize on it. Boone, Viaduct. Nov 18, 2018.

Having then sat there for 10 hours, a new path was put in, allowing the working to be captured in daylight. Here, 66718 passes Tyseley with 6M53 Bristol Parkway to Bescot Up Engineers Sidings.
Late summer is a great time to photograph shorebirds. Water levels are really low, just mud in some spots and the birds love to run along the surface looking for small insects to eat.
A passing rainstorm doesn't seem to bother this KIlldeer from enjoying the morning.

Pacific National express freight 7MP7 with GE units NR34 and NR97 are seen approaching Mallala SA from Melbourne to Perth.
7MP7 was stuck in the Adelaide hills near Balhannah SA for a few hours because 6MP9 broke a knuckle near Mt Lofty SA.
“I didn’t exactly have my eyes on the road at the time. I was fumbling through my cassette tapes when I first noticed it stepping out from behind the trees at the crest of the next hill. I barely had time to hit the brakes.”

One last look at CSX C733, with a view of the head end this time around. The loaded coal train paused at Bridgewater after taking a hit on the Middlesex Wheel Impact Load Detector. The head end came to rest just clear of the grade crossing within the American Cyanamid Superfund site. A busy I-287 and CP Bound Brook just beyond that are visible in the distance.

CP 528 arrives in Windsor yesterday after having to wait at Delray for a few hours due to only one track up to Dougal being used because of MOW work. This had delayed 528 enough so ETR could just pass by while he was exiting the tunnel.
