If you decide to travel along this highway into the bowels of the Universe, carry enough fuel to cover the billions of light years ahead of you. You won't find a place to refuel. When you have travelled this distance without finding anything, not even a little bit of intelligent life and you reach the far reaches of the Universe... don't be scared... there's nothing there, either. Only the "nothing". Or since everything is cyclical, perhaps you have returned to the place where you started, full of wisdom from your long trip. It's probably better to look for intelligent life on Earth, but it's also very likely that you'll have a hard time finding it. Don't worry about not understanding the Universe or the reason for its existence... you're not Einstein, but one day you'll understand that... The Universe is wounded, but it still has infinity ahead of it. It still has you and me. Merry Christmas to all and to the infinite Universe that is within you.
Gregory Alan Isakov - The Universe
Y el Universo está susurrando tan suavemente que puedo oírlo todo... el zumbido de los insectos, todos los taxis, todo el cambio gastado de los vagabundos, todos los chicos jugando a la pelota en los callejones. Son sólo pliegues en su vestido. El Universo, está herido, pero aún tiene el infinito por delante. Todavía nos tiene a ti y a mí. Y todos dicen que es hermoso. Y todos dicen...

Music for your trip to the Universe:
Ground Control to Major Tom. Ground Control to Major Tom. Take your protein pills and put your helmet on. Ground Control to Major Tom (ten, nine, eight, seven, six)... Commencing countdown, engines on (five, four, three)... Check ignition and may God's love be with you (two, one, liftoff...)
Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts VI–IX
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond", was written as a tribute to Syd Barrett, one of the founders of Pink Floyd. He was also known as "The Crazy Diamond Syd". Barrett was a very creative musician and is considered one of the rock icons, with a strong influence on many artists, very especially to David Bowie. Syd Barrett is a key piece to understand the evolution of rock in the 70s.. Excessive drug use, especially LSD, caused him serious mental health problems. Syd Barrett died in 2006 at the age of 60. Always shine diamond.
The Universal is a science fiction song written as a tribute to two films by film director Stanley Kubrick. In the video, the Blur members wear outfits similar to Alex and his gang of thugs, the protagonists of the movie "A Clockwork Orange." The image used for the cover of the single alluded to what is possibly Kubrick's best film: "2001: To Space Odyssey."
We haven't changed that much in 300,000 years of evolution.

An overview of Lehigh Valley’s Bethlehem Engine Terminal reveals a variety of power in various states of readiness. As an SW1 leaves the turntable and heads out to work, two RS-11’s are on one of the turntable tracks, and the cab of an RS-3 can be seen in the servicing area. Farther out on the servicing tracks, a set of C420’s is being reconfigured, while a Reading/B&O power set is on the ready track. This power came in on train NE-84, and will take NE-87 to Potomac Yard after it arrives in the Lehigh Valley.

Engine of Sierra #3 - the "Movie Star Locomotive"! The train is over 100 years old and been in more TV and movies than any other. Most people don't get this view, but Mary made friends with the docents.
Am 30. September 2017 brachten 1142.608 und 1116.056 den leeren Erzzug LGAG 58665 nach Eisenerz. Dieser Zug verkehrt täglich und bekommt ab Selzthal zumeist einen "altwertigen" Vorspann für die Fahrt durch das Gesäuse. Bei Frauenberg im Ennstal konnte ich diese Leistung aufnehmen. Im Bildhintergrund die eindrucksvolle Warscheneckgruppe, am rechten Bildrand verbirgt sich die Wallfahrtskirche von Frauenberg hinter den Bäumen. Nettes Detail am Rande ist der kleine Smiley auf der Lokfront der 1142.
At September 30th 2017 ÖBB's 1142.608 and 1116.056 hauled empty freight train LGAG 58665 to Eisenerz. This train commutes on daily basis and gets most of the time an older engine in front to support the Taurus for its journey through the so-called Gesäuse. I took this picture near Frauenberg, in the background you can see the impressive mountain chain called Warscheneckgruppe. On the right side the church of Frauenberg hides behind the trees. Nice detail is the little smiley on the front of the class 1142 engine.
This engine is usually described as 'primitive'
But it was quite sophisticated for it's time !
Aluminium block with replacable iron liners (replace them along with the pistons - and you have a brand new engine)
Aluminium head
Aluminium intake manifold
Cartrige type full-flow oil filter
Exhaust gas recirculation system to improve ecological issues
But also it has primitive solid adjustable valve lifters and manual choke
Former engine house, now a mining museam at Burra Mines, South Australia. Copper was discovered at Burra by shepherds in 1845 and by the end of the decade it had its own mine, smelters and a population of 5000 people. The mine produced high grade copper until 1877 when falling world copper prices and the high cost of running the mine resulted in it being closed. It is now a heritage place of interest open to the public.

The “Queen of Steam” continues to explore new frontiers and make history, now as an official Virginia landmark.
The train was built in May of 1950 by Norfolk & Western. The train was used to carry passengers from Virginia to Ohio and from the western parts of the Commonwealth to West Virginia. It is the sole surviving member of the fourteen Class J locomotives.
In 1952, it was one of the locomotives that pulled Dwight D. Eisenhower’s presidential campaign train from Columbus, Ohio, to Kenova, West Virginia. Now, the steam train is owned and operated by the Virginia Museum of Transportation, Inc., in Roanoke.
