Still have more from Ghana but have gone upstate the past two weekends for fun and I couldn't resist shoving these up before I head off to Houston for Halloween this weekend too :)
Working an 0Z90 Carlisle-Carlisle which I presume was a route learner sees 66432 passing Cherry Tree on the East Lancs Line. A strange one given that they have a daily flow in 6K05. Ironically today was a day that it didn't run which is unusual.
66424 & 66302 climb away from Helwith Bridge with 6Z21 09:16 Sellafield to Ribblehead Quarry. 19/4/2018. I would have liked to have moved position for this, but the Logs had just gone south and I didn't have time.
66427 approaches Ribblehead station with 6K05 12:46 Carlisle to Crewe BH departmental service. 30/6/2015. The only reason this was in sun was because I was standing next to Pete Shaw, doyen of S&C photographers. Until he turned up there was no chance!
A little vignetting and b&w processing. I really liked the quality of this shot with the "Running Man" statue in front of the courthouse.
Historical Notes: The Dred Scott v. Sandford (60 U.S. 393) originated from this courthouse. The decision was ultimately determined by the U.S. Supreme Court. It held that people of African descent brought into the United States and held as slaves (or their descendants, whether or not they were slaves) were not protected by the Constitution and could never be U.S. citizens. The Supreme Court also noted that the U.S. Congress had no authority to prohibit slavery in federal territories and that, because slaves were not citizens, they could not sue in court. Furthermore, the Court ruled that slaves, as chattels or private property, could not be taken away from their owners without due process.

This is the rotunda of the Old St. Louis Courthouse in St. Louis, Missouri, decked out for the 4th of July.
The Old St. Louis County Courthouse was built in 1828 as a combination federal and state courthouse in St. Louis, Missouri. From 1864 to 1894 it was Missouri's tallest habitable building. It was designed by the firm of Lavielle and Morton, which is reported to be the first architect firm west of the Mississippi River above New Orleans.
The Old Courthouse is most famously known for the Dred Scott decision. In 1846 Dred Scott, a slave, sued for his and his wife's freedom as they had been held illegally as slaves in free states. All of the trials, including a Missouri Supreme Court hearing, were held in the Old Courthouse. The case was ultimately decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1857, which infamously ruled against the Scotts, holding that that people of African descent brought into the United States and held as slaves (or their descendants, whether or not they were slaves) were not protected by the Constitution and were not U.S. citizens. Although the Supreme Court has never explicitly overruled the Dred Scott case, it has acknowledged that the decision was subsequently overruled by the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868, which begins by stating, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
The land for the courthouse had been donated in 1816 by Judge John Baptiste Charles Lucas and St. Louis founder René Auguste Chouteau Lucas, who had required that the land be "used forever as the site on which the courthouse of the County of St. Louis should be erected." After the courthouse was abandoned by the city in 1930, the Descendants of Chouteau and Lucas sued to regain ownership. In 1935, during the Great Depression, St. Louis voted a bond issue to raze nearly 40 blocks around the courthouse in the center of St. Louis for the new Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared in an Executive Order that the area would be designated a national monument, and the courthouse formally became part of the new monument area in 1940. The Gateway Arch, built in 1965, is also part of the National Expansion Memorial.

Sunday squirts - the Anglia RHTT diagram runs to slightly different times on a Sunday, but still covers Cromer, Great Yarmouth and Ely, as 3S01 1014 Stowmarket to Stowmarket. A very work-stained 66126 leads fellow DRS Type 5 66426 away from Crown Point by Wensum Junction heading towards Great Yarmouth, taken from Whitlingham Country Park.
66423 passes Dent Head with 6K05 12:46 Carlisle North Yard to Crewe Basford Hall engineers. 9/6/2015.
The crowd went wild during Strike Anywhere's set during Harvest of Hope Festival in St. Augustine, Florida.
A sunrise view of the Old Courthouse, part of Gateway Arch National Park. The courthouse has become a place where the national park interprets injustice. The parties argued the Dred Scott case here twice as part of its extended legal history (1846-57). Enslaved people taken in tax forfeiture cases were auctioned on the courthouse steps.
As it looks toward Gateway Arch, the Old Courthouse provides a counterpoint to the more triumphal stories of westward expansion across the way.
3300 HP with just two wagons in tow was not what I expected on Mondays Engineers train. Recently re-liveried 66426 passes Blackburn working 6K05 Carlisle North Yard-Crewe Basford Hall Departmental service.
66426 and 66427 take the Soham line at Ely Dock Jn. with the final leg of the Norfolk railhead treatment train, 3S01 09.22 Stowmarket Down Goods Loop - Stowmarket Down Goods Loop via Diss, Cromer, Norwich, Acle, Great Yarmouth, Reedham, Thetford, Ely and Bury St. Edmunds.
The city’s first courthouse in the block bounded by N. 4th, Chestnut, N. Broadway and Market streets was completed in 1828 and has undergone several demolitions and reconstructions. It was the city’s tallest building from 1864 to 1894. Henry Singleton and Robert S. Mitchell were the architects for the 1839 and 1851 renovations, respectively. William Rumbold was the architect for the dome construction, completed in 1862 Ironically, slave auctions were held on the Courthouse steps, mostly to settle probate claims, while others took their slaves here to obtain their legal freedom.
The Old Courthouse is famous for the site of cases involving Dred and Harriet Scott’s bids for freedom, beginning in 1846. After rulings that the Scotts should be free, the case moved to the federal court and eventually the U.S. Supreme Court, at which the decision affirmed lower court decisions reversing the verdict of freedom for the Scotts in 1857.
movement too quick..... i captured a ghost board. sooc. i have hundreds of phots i need to get thru....this is going to take some time so expect randomness occasionally!
On a dull and drizzly lunchtime, 66424 and 66301 don't hang around as they race southwards on the 6Z40 06:13 Crewe-Devonport; the annual nuclear submarine flask working to Plymouth.

A pair of filthy sheds - the result of daily use on the RHTT through the autumn can clearly be seen as 66126 trails 3S01 0922 Stowmarket to Stowmarket past Trowse Victoria, with 66426 leading; Greater Anglia 745009 can be seen in Trowse Victoria sidings on the left. The DRS 66s will take the Wensum Curve before heading North to Cromer.
66433 passes through Long Preston with 6K05 12:46 Carlisle Yard to Crewe BH engineers. 24/5/2017. This was my first shot of 6K05 for a long time, as it was routed via the West Coast Main Line for a lengthy period due to the Eden Brows landslip.

Currently one of two of the heaviest freights that traverse the East Lancasjhire Line is 6C89 Mountsorrell -Carlisle conveying around 1800 tonnes of Granite Limestone,this usually runs 2-3 days a week. Seen here passing Taylor St. The other heavy freight being 6S94 Wembley-Irvine China Clay Slurry Tanks which runs on an 'Had Hoc' basis and is sometimes routed via West Coast Main Line.

A real mixed bag including MPV 98912/962 with ballast and spoil wagons behind. On hire from DB No 66108 is in charge of 6K05 Carlisle-Crewe Basford Hall Departmental service.
Not quite sure why two 'DREDs' were rostered on this working, maybe it was a heavier load, as they do struggle a bit over Aisgill. Anyway, I wasn't complaining as it was something different.
Ex Fastline 66304 heads 66434 at Blea Moor at the head of the 6C89 Mountsorrel to Carlisle loaded stone. 14/6/2018
66423 passes New Barnetby on 3J14 Grimsby Town to Goole RHTT, with 37402 on the rear. Dreadful lighting for a Dred, somewhat appropriate!
Good days paint in the October sunshine with rugged.. shouts to sparta and reds good to meets you lads..
66434 passes Brock with the very early-running 6K05 10:43 Carlisle North Yard to Crewe Basford Hall engineers train. 20/4/2016.
I love Drew's tattoo & although I am a sucker for B&W's I had to do one in colour to a) show off the amazing colours of the tattoo & b) show off how handsome and wonderful my boyfriend is!
