Pingree Grove, the RR Switch that is. The Burnidge/Paul Wolff Forest Preserve has some nice walking/hiking trails that go right by the Canadian Pacific's Pingree Grove control point and switch in unincorporated Elgin, IL Now, this marks the point where the Metra/CP doubletrack goes to single track. I believe (others who know more pls chime in) the Pingree Grove CP was somewhere else during the Milwaukee Road Era. This is 6 portrait oriented photos digitally stitched together.
Take a look at it in FULL resolution:

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.

666 days out of service due to a derailment at Laois Traincare Depot, ICR #37 (22 037) went back into service on the 17 November 2011, which it operated the 1725 Heuston to Limerick. However, on Saturday 19 November 2011 the railcar was hit by stones which shattered the windscreen on 22137. The railcar is seen here as it powers through the North Cork countryside at Grange, between Mallow and Buttevant, working empty from Cork to Laois Traincare Depot due to the smashed windscreen.

Yep, according to a freind, UP has started numbering their new (and old) rolling stock with lettering from railroads they have bought since they are running out of room in their car roster. It looks like this one was fresh from the car maker, I wonder if it is still this clean and fresh looking.

Westward through Shabbona, Illinois the BNSF 4752 leads the "Z" Train past some almost peaked colorful trees.
Saw this guy rapidly approaching in my rear view mirror, as we were also Westbound, and had just enough time to stop and get out to snap this shot. I'm certain a few days later this would have been extremely colorful.
The crossing signals on both sides of the tracks cast red stop indications but the freight on A446 keeps on moving. True to a lot of the tonnage on the CN mainline, a healthy portion of this train was lumber from western Canada. As testament to this pipeline, I saw packs of lumber on this train wrapped as little as a week before. Lots of 2x4s, but this BCOL flat had 2x10 12 footers and 14 footers going up the hill.

I watched trams circle the small Weldoenersplein park in Av Rogier for almost three hours... On the left, a short three-segment route 62 tram heads uphill and on the right a longer 25 tram heads away downhill. The doubletrack splits to circle the small Trams circle the Weldoenersplein park and meet up at the other side with tight curves are on quite a grade, plus there is a station at each side of the circle, requiring uphill starts. The Bombardier trams seem to be quite powerful.
...That will say CN soon:(

Chasing "Somewhere New" on a rough doubletrack up a side canyon we'd not noticed before we encountered the opposite of peace - a hunter sighting in an elephant gun. No idle plunker or latino blowing off steam through firepower, this was a man at a serious exercise. With his rifle laid across the hood he'd loose a startling explosion of serious velocity - we'd see the muzzle flash and the puff of dirt behind the target before we heard the report, though he was only a hundred yards away - then move a few steps to his right to check the sighting on a tripod-mounted spotting scope. He'd set up safely enough, using the canyon wall as a backstop. We've seen some excellent examples of unsafe shooting - we still won't go back to the Rio Rancho badlands - but this felt fine and with his serious intent I knew he wouldn't be at it long. When we returned from our exploration (cut short after finding nothing but a few hills of bentonite and a demoralizing wind-chill) he was already gone. Peace restored to the canyon, deer and elk beware.
