The track on the left is to March station and the main line East. Note how the single track passes through the centre of the bridge and not to the right as it used to be in double track days. The track to the right is for Peterborough traffic (West). The track closest to the camera is the Whitemoor head shunt. This double tracking was the same in steam days. The embankment far left hides a single line bridge used by goods traffic now filled in since it was no longer required?

Die Strecke auf der linken Seite bis März Station und die Hauptlinie Osten. Beachten Sie, wie die einzelnen Titel durch die Mitte der Brücke und nicht nach rechts geht, wie es in doppelter Länge Tage verwendet. Die Strecke auf der rechten Seite ist für Peterborough Verkehr (West). Die Länge der Kamera am nächsten ist der Kopf Whitemoor Shunt. Diese Doppel-Tracking war das gleiche in Dampf Tage. Der Damm weit links verbirgt sich eine einzige Zeile Brücke durch den Güterverkehr jetzt ausgefüllt verwendet, da er nicht mehr benötigt wurde?

A446 slogs its way up Byron Hill allowing for plenty of time to try some different angles with the signals and the encroaching dusk. I generally give LED signals a thumbs down, especially how they render on a digital sensor (blow out to white way too easily), but I do like how they cast color on a passing train as soon as it starts to get dark.

Thats not to say that the ride was a washout. I was giddy as I could look over my shoulder and see people following up the climbs. That's something I have not seen in sometime. Thanks for the ride guys...

The Down Griffith Xplorer has not quite cleared the section ahead so a caution aspect is still displayed on this Upper Quadrant semaphore signal at Galong, located between Yass Junction and Harden, on the NSW Main Southern line. Once cleared, the signal arm will point skyward. These remaining signals were replaced in December 2009.

Alta Via del Sale. In torrential downpour. For the whole day from 9 am to nightfall.
It was Alps Divide Day two for me. This weather was forecasted, but the extend and intensity was extraordinary. And it’s not me saying this. This came from quite a lot of very experienced people. Even people living in the UK and in Scotland and who have participated in events like Silkroad Mountain Race. E.g. both @Jennytough and @nielcopeland said this rain had broken the scale.
And wow - I literally rode through rivers running across the trails. At times just one side, at times on both sides. And it was chunky. As usual, the photos don’t do the real roughness of the surface justice. It was no mellow riding. It wouldn’t have even on good gravel surface as I did 3.400 meters of climbing on that day. But indeed it was a constant search for rideable lines over the chunky trails. Right through the middle of the streams running down the trails or next to it.
As long as I was moving and moving upwards the temperature weren’t that much of a problem. But for the descending parts the wet body had few reserves. Still not at the halfway mark, after quite a bit of a descending part and still 20 km from the next rifugio (i.e. more than 2 hours away) I was shivering so hard once stopped. Luckily I found a small opportunity to pull out my puffy jacket under a bit of shelter and put in on under my rain jacket. It took a while to stop shivering after staring to move again, but I finally could comfortably „swim“ all the rest of the Via Sale. It took me until well after dusk, when the rain finally subsided a little above Tende but gave way to dense and wet fog.
This was quite the experience.

This February 2004 photo shows the track across the Main Trunk Road A47 looking North towards Wisbech. The track was removed on the road in June 2005 but was replaced in Spring 2006. It was removed yet again in September 2011 in an attempt to cut off Wisbech for ever?
You have to visualise that in its heyday it was double tracked from March to Wisbech East Station and singled from there on. The track bed is in a very unsafe condition due to badly dried out sleepers that have caused the rail chairs to pop their holding bolts. wisbechrail.org.uk/learn-more/

Sie haben zu visualisieren, dass es in seiner Blütezeit Doppel wurde von März bis Wisbech East Station verfolgt und von dort vereinzelt auf.

An unusual thing about this part of the Union Pacific is that trains usually run on the lefthand side of the double track mainline. Metra 158 is pushing it's train back to Chicago, after quickly stopping in Geneva.
