With the BN-ATSF merger in 1995, a number of four-axle Santa Fe locos came over to the BN side to work locals. In March of 1996 the ATSF 2703 showed up to work out of Rochelle, IL. I found it down by the Steam Plant on March 16, 1996 gleaming in fresh yellow and blue paint. It had just been repainted by Mid American Car in Kansas City earlier that month. Built as the ATSF 1203 in April of 1962, it still retrained much of it's "as built" look. But back there on the left is the BN 2762--also built as a GP30 in August of 1962. That loco was constructed for the Southern Railway as their 2532 and it had the Hi-nose option. But when it went through the rebuilding program it had its nose configured to a more standard appearance. It still has the humped dynamic brake blister, but not quite as classy as the rounded cab roof as sported by the ATSF 2703.

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference
Gloomy weather today. Took this right outside my doorstep, but not sure what does little flowers are called. Heard from some of my friends that our local Cherry Blossom has bloomed, and I promised myself not to miss it like last year.
Hope everyone have a relaxing sunday!

Description
Differences in artificial lighting are visible in photographs taken by astronauts aboard the International Space Station. For instance, several distinct colors of electric light are visible in this image of the Tsushima Strait, the shallow body of water that separates southern Japan and South Korea.
A cluster of fishing boats is the source of the bluish light near the center of the image. The fisherman are likely luring Todarodes pacificus—a species known as the Japanese flying squid—to the surface with bright xenon bulbs. The city lights on the Korean side of the strait tend to have an orange glow, while those on the Japanese side are greener. The difference is related to the distribution of mercury vapor, metal halide, and high-pressure sodium lamps—the bulb types most often used for street and outdoor lightning. Mercury vapor lights tend to be green, high-pressure sodium is orange, and metal-halide lamps are bright white.

Dear Journal,
It is strange, the difference between the feeling of sailing carelessly through the vastness of open sky, and the feeling of staring down into the black, bottomless throat of a cavern. Instead of seeing as far as one may wish to look, one’s vision is blocked by the impassable, unwavering blackness.
“Ready, Mister Zenas?” my friend John called down.
“Ready!” I lied.
The rope descended, and I with it. Down, down, down… I was lowered deeper and deeper into the increasingly cold heart of the island. Oh, the places I’ll go and the things I’ll do in the name of discovery! The tantalizing temptation of finding the treasure drew me irresistibly… in spite of the increasing sense of claustrophobia that clasped its tight embrace about me.
At long, long last, I touched down on the soggy, gritty surface of the cavern floor and, clutching my rope, peered around into the absolute midnight of the massive cave. Behind me, there, something caught my eye. A tiny glimmer of light – it came from a small tunnel. I could hear the sloshing sound of water as I slowly inched towards it.
Once through, I encountered another cavern, smaller than the last one and… surprisingly beautiful. Purplish foliage clambered down from the heights above, and amid the rocks grew pockets of glowing mushrooms, quietly lighting the shadows. A collection of small waterfalls fed several trickling rivers that drained into a rushing whirlpool on the left of the cavern. In the center of the cavern was a small isle of wet sand, in the middle of which stood a lone column, atop which laid a small, golden artifact. The moment I espied it I knew, after weeks of travel, I had found what I sought.
I crept up towards it in the soft beam of light, mist drifting hazily around me. I circled the item, examining its every beautiful detail before I could dare to reach out and lift it up from its base.
But then, Journal, the unmistakable sound of a flintlock pistol being cocked echoed off the walls of the rocky chamber. I froze, the untouched golden relic still before me, and slowly glanced up to see a figure standing opposite me.
“I will not insult your intelligence, Mr. Abbington, as long as you do not explore the boundaries of my patience.” A confident and mellifluous voice flowed from the tall, mysteriously black-clad figure. His pistol gleamed, aimed directly at my heart. Terrifyingly, one could not see his features, for his face was entirely covered in spotless, filmy cloth. No doubt he could see outwards, but none could look in at him.
I was shivering. “Who-o-o are you?”
“I see no purpose in divulging my identity to you, nor that of my companion.” To my horror, another figure, similarly dressed, though a bit heftier in the shoulders, stood just past him. He too was armed with a flintlock.
Suddenly my thoughts darted in a different direction. “Wait, what have you done with John?”
“Your companion? I underestimated the speed and agility of his craft. He sailed off and made good his escape. I am certain he understood the message of my cannons and he shall not be trifling with me any further.” A tiny click announced the removal of his weapon’s safety latch. “Now, Mr. Abbington, as your conversational abilities leave much to be desired… the tablet, if you please.”
It was then that I saw my opportunity. I snatched the golden square and held it, ready to cast into the whirlpool swirling just within reach of me. The man and his companion started in shock.
“Now, you masked man, I will not insult your intelligence. Lower your weapon and leave, or I shall toss this tablet to the waters.”
The stranger chuckled menacingly. “I am more than prepared to murder for that tablet. Are you prepared to die for it?”
“I suppose I will have to find out!” I cried, hurling myself and said tablet into the whirlpool in one swift dive.
I shall write again, dear Journal, as soon as I may, and explain just how I came to be writing this entry and not drowned.

Boring location and not great lighting, but just had to share. Taken at lunch this day.

My brother in law married a beautiful English girl and our families finally met. I just wish there was some way to tell who the americans are?
There is only one frost to freeze the differences.

"It doesn't make a difference what temperature a room is, it's always room temperature." ~Steven Wright
PLEASE COMMENT WHEN YOU FAVE. It’s really not that hard and i love hearing feedback. It’s not much, even if its just "nice" or something, but it really makes a difference. also, please try to be respectful to myself and others. thank you.
So I had a lot of fun with doing my top ten favorite villains list and sot I thought id do my top ten favorite TV shows. This is all opinion, so be aware before you get pissed. Also, I cheated a bit on one or two and combined them, but this is my damn list so fuck it. So, lets get started.
10-Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Star trek tng is a fascinating look at sci-fi and the space exploration genre in general. While I’m not crazy about the first few seasons, I love it near the end. It’s just so rich with atmosphere and has such a creative and full world that you really can feel it. It’s a very smart, very clever, and very well exsiccated show with lots of interesting things to say, and great writing to do so.
9-Firefly
What’s better then a joss whedon space western staring Nathan fillion? Will 8 things obviously but this show still seriously kicks ass. It has incredible writing that is masterfully performed by amazing actors. The only thing stopping this show from being higher on the list is its lack of seasons. Other then that, it’s a funny, action packed thrill ride from start to finish that I recommend to anyone looking for adventure and fun in space.
8-Justice League and Justice League Unlimited
So yeah, this is kind of a tie, but jlu is basically just a continuation of the original show, so I think its ok to group these two together. Anyways, justice league manages to really get how these larger then life heroes would interact. How they are still people, even though they have godlike powers, and how they manage to deal with the fears of the world, and of each other. Every character has there own voice and you always know how one would feel about something, even if they don’t say it. It’s a perfect comic book adaptation that every dc fan should watch
7-Young Justice
I toiled over weather to put this or justice league at this spot, but I had to go with young justice just for its unapologetic love for its source material and the amazing way it adapts the comics into a different medium (cough* arrow *cough). I love how they hit the ground running with its immediately recognizable comic book characters and anything goes mentality towards storytelling, yet still manages to have compelling character drama.
6-Monty Python and Fawlty Towers
Did I even need to say it? These two are some of the funniest shows ever made and what every comedy after them should strive towards. The reason I put them together is because towers feels like a python sketch that got extended into a full series without being dragged out or overdone. What else can I say? These two are legendary enough, and if you haven’t seen them, we need to have a little chat.
5-Futurama
A sci-fi comedy by the same guys behind the Simpson’s? Sign me up. I’ve always preferred futurama to the Simpson’s, mainly the sci-fi moments and more abstract elements add to the comedic feel of the whole show. It’s incredibly cleaver, and isn’t afraid to comment on society. All the characters are don so well with each being funny and deep at the same time. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants smart humor, with an edge to it.
4-South Park
I don’t think I like South Park for the reason most people like South Park. Its not for the raunchy-ness, or the “how far will they go” humor (although I do like both), no, what really gets me to love south park is how they can realistically (to a certain extent) take the point of view of a kid, and turn it into a zany, yet interesting critique on society, while still being having that child like viewpoint. It’s hysterical, fun, and crazy as hell.
3-Doctor who
Here I’m specifically talking about the rebooted series. The original series will always have a place in my heart, but the new series is just so much fun, and has so much character and is so well written. I love the sci-fi and I love how adventures it feels and l=how likable the main characters are. I love how recognizable the villains have become and how much it’s grown since its humble beginnings, and for good reason. If you haven’t watch dr who, go watch dr who.
2-Avatar, The Last Airbendeder
This is the best animated series of all time, period. It is so deep and has such good characters yet still manages to be light hearted and genuinely funny, but its also dark and serious. It’s so well balanced that it’s hard not to love it. It’s practically Shakespearian in character depth. The art is beautiful and perfectly matches the tone of the world around it. It’s an astounding work of art, and if you haven’t seen it, change that!
Now before I get to number, lets go through so me honorable mentions.
The Spectacular Spiderman: perfectly capturing the tone and atmosphere of the original 60’s comic while updating and adding to the things that needed it. Easily the best version of the character ever put to screen
Sherlock: a well-written, well acted mini series that’s a dark, yet fun spin on the source material
Batman Beyond: the perfect way to end the batman mythos in my opinion. It’s really original, and has great banter between terry and old Bruce.
Wolverine And The X-men: this show is not talked about enough. It takes its source material and really captures it perfectly. Great voice cast and great writing, a must watch for any x-men fan
Teen titans: a nostalgic character driven show with a fun art style and great character writing, but with enough dark elements to keep it from being to cutesy
Avengers, Earths Mightiest Heroes: like the avengers are the marvel version of the justice league, their respective cartoons do it similarly. It’s well written and is pretty stylized, but also draws from silver age marvel to get this great marvel show
Bob’s Burgers: great humor, mixed with great voice acting, mixed with enough crazy character drama to make this show funny as hell
Batman, TAS: amazing art style and fantastic writing, and easily the best voice cast the batman franchise has ever had, batman TAS is easily the best version of the dark knight yet.
And now for number one, drum role please
dmdmdmdmdmdmdmdmdmdmdmdmdmdm
1-Arrow
How could I not put this show at number one? It’s a great adaptation of the original comic and has some of the best writing of any show in years. Its crowning achievement is it main character, who is a perfect adaptation of… of, BWAHAHAHAHA
Sorry, couldn’t say that with a strait face. Arrow is fucking terrible, but I'm addicted, so fuck me. DO NOT WATCH, unless your morbidly curios, anyways.
Now for my real number 1
1-Game of Thrones
This show is all about character, and considering I’m constantly mentioning it here, there’s a reason this show is number 1. There are now good guys, or bad guys, just characters, with different motivations, and conflicting ideals. Some are in power, some are not. In a way, there isn’t a plot. Only characters, and their actions, and its reproductions in this world. Speaking of, the world is rich and full of history, and 12 kinds of insane depth. I honestly know more about the world of GoT then I do real American history. #imahugefuckingnerd. If you plan on watch GoT, id read the first book or two before you do. If this show has a fault, it’s that it’s horrible at explaining what’s happening, and just throws you in assuming you already know what’s going on. It’s still an excellent series that I hope to continue for many years to come
And that’s my list. Hope you liked it. Tell me your faves, and please tell me about how arrow is the best show ever and how and how dare I talk about it like that. THANKS FOR READING!
GWR Castle 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe departs platform 3 at Penrith after being pathed here for a Avanti Pendolino. Note the Hawksworth straight sided tender introduced on his County class locomotives and fitted to some Castle and Hall locomotives. Which i think improved the appearance. Also the GUV water carrier (should it be painted Chocolate and Cream) The weather sheet between the cab and tender is apparently a stander ed GWR type but I do not recall seeing locos fitted with it in BR days. You would certainly need one in bad weather on the spartan Churchward footplates.
