The Highland is a Scottish breed of rustic cattle. It originated in the Scottish Highlands and the Outer Hebrides islands of Scotland and has long horns and a long shaggy coat. It is a hardy breed, bred to withstand the intemperate conditions in the region.
Highland cattle descend from the Hamitic Longhorn, which were brought to Britain by Neolithic farmers in the second millennium BC, as the cattle migrated northwards through Africa and Europe. Highland cattle were historically of great importance to the economy, with the cattle being raised for meat primarily and sold in England.
The 1885 herd book describes two distinct types of Highland cattle. One was the West Highland, or Kyloe, originating and living mostly in the Outer Hebrides, which had harsher conditions. These cattle tended to be smaller, to have black coats and, due to their more rugged environment, to have long hair. These cattle were named due to the practice of relocating them. The kyles are narrow straits of water, and the cattle were driven across them to get to market.
The other type was the mainland; these tended to be larger because their pastures provided richer nutrients. They came in a range of colours, most frequently dun or red. These types have now been crossbred so that there is no distinct difference.
Since the early 20th century, breeding stock has been exported to many parts of the world, especially Australia and North America.
It is estimated that there are now around 15,000 Highland cattle in the United Kingdom.

I'm on a mission, perhaps not attainable, to shoot all of the SD70s before they are rebuilt into those wide cab abominations. I'm not sure I'll get it done but we'll see.
Here's one of those spartan cab 70s, of the ex-Conrail variety, pulling mixer 10G into Enola Yard with a cut of Camrail exports fresh out of the GE plant in Erie.
Both of these, the standard cab and the Erie exports are on borrowed time. A two for one!

The Omori Silver Mine area flourished as a key town under direct shogunate control, central to about 150 villages. Discovered in the 14th century, the mine peaked in the early 17th century, exporting silver overseas. The townscape stretches about 2.8 kilometers, preserving historic sites such as the magistrate’s office remains, samurai residences, temples, and cemeteries, conveying the town’s mining heritage.

Following on from the last two uploads, there seems to be a common theme occurring, it’s not worth going out the house these days there’s nothing left!
86608 & 86632 cruse past Mill Meece with 4M87 on Friday 5th June 2020, I’d wanted this shot for a number of years and had set my stall out to give it ago regardless of the poor forecast knowing time was running out for the AL6’s. Sometimes, not very often admittedly everything just drops into place, the sun wouldn’t have been on the front had it turned up on time but with issues at Northampton the train ended up running 30 late…

Turning the clock back half a century and more when diminutive saddle tanks busied themselves around the dockside at Workington, on 31st March 2001, 1885-built Robert Heath 0-4-0 saddle tank 'No.6' moves a consignment of rail brought by the private railway from Corus' works to the dockside, to be loaded and shipped to Waterford in the Republic of Ireland. The locomotive and crew were on loan for a photographic charter, the rail transfer between steelworks and port normally undertaken by a diesel loco.
