Don’t you hate how weekends flyby? This is Chicagos shoreline from this mornings blue hour. We went out hoping that both, blue hour and sunrise would be great but sunrise failed and all the good stuff happened from 5-6am. What do you think?
A malicious barren place, the desert holds nothing, promises nothing. I dare not have expectations. No matter how foreign the land may seem, it is I who is foreign.
What a unique vehicle! I'd never seen anything like it. In the earlier days of modern invention there were lots of ideas about how to do things. This was one of them.
Like most of the vehicles at this museum, it runs. Here a video of it.

October 2, 2021 - Went to Jeff Lane Motor Museum in Nashvile, Tennessee. This place is fantastic! Over 500 vehicles. I've been to one of the best car museums in the U.S., Petersen Auto Museum in L.A. but this one is right up there with it. Specializes in foreign cars and unique vehicles. Half of these I'd never seen or heard of. Well worth going to.

A Chicago & North Western SD40-2, Nevada Northern SD7, and Western Pacific U23B find themselves in Union Pacific's Riverdale Yard in Ogden, Utah. Doug deserves a prize for catch of the year.

A CN crude ore train using two BNSF HP payback units is shown dumping at Fairlane as Northern Plains GP9 1520 switches the commercial yard. NPR's switching subsidiary handles commercial traffic here.
A trio of Canadian visitors, CN 3134, GECX 2037, and CN 2853, lead the Magna Missile south over the Green River. L412 is a direct shot to Bowling Green Metalforming (Magna) out of Louisville 6 days a week. They run to Magna with empty flats, and return with loaded truck frames for Ford.
New York, Suquehanna, and Western SD60's 3808 and 3802 lead RJ Corman MR25 through Rockfield on the Memphis Line with 42 Alcan empties.

A foreign leader on the Norfolk Southern Pittsburgh Line is a rare sight now a days. I was ecstatic to see a CSX GEVO parked at the WYE on the Buffalo Line (where the bare tables are snaking off of just beyond the signals) and even more thrilled that it got a signal down to the fuel pad while I had time to grab it.
The train is 24V and the bare tables came out of New York the evening prior.
L594 works east through Biwabik on a cold morning making their way to Wales with loads in tow.

Nickel Plate 765 sails smoothly over the 6 arched bridge and Juniata River at Mt. Union, Pennsylvania.
#CN585 passes through the little yard in Prescott, with an NS Dash 9 taking the lead, hauling cars for Brockville. In the back are some GATX Tank Train RAM sets, which will be eventually sent to the old Ultramar in Maitland.
A couple of CSX locomotives leads this oil train on the NS Toledo-Cleveland main line near Oak Harbor, Oh. (7/23/16)
Il termine "foreign power" e' adoperato nel gergo tecnico per indicare convogli di un'amministrazione in servizio su linee appartenenti ad una differente impresa.
E' il caso di questa coppia di locomotive CSX, ancora colorate nella livrea "Bright Future" e capeggiate dalla Dash8 #7741, in corsa presso Oak Harbor, Oh. alla testa di un convoglio di cisterne sulla rete Norfolk Southern. (23/7/16)

We met at a sky garden in the Northshore area. Was there waiting to take pics of the sunset and these two were also there waiting to view the sunset. We started chatting and found out that they are foreigners working in Singapore as household maids. They are very nice girls and socially, very responsible. I noticed, at the sky garden, whenever they saw some rubbish thrown by other people, they will clear the rubbish into a bin nearby. I asked them about their action and both replied that they dislike seeing rubbish everywhere in such a nice place. Of course, I praised them of their good character. Now, where can you find such great people?
During the Winter of 2012-13 the Canadian National RR started using lots of locomotives from other railroads. I was going thru a backup hard drive, updating directory names etc and came across this photo set. I literally had unboxed my new (at the time) D5100 the previous day, and went out with Mark Llanuza during one of the rare snow storms that winter to shoot this M337 (I think) train running under the old EJ&E flyover in Wayne, IL Those were the days....
The Lighthouse at New Brighton
The Original Perch Rock
Perch Rock, New Brighton Lighthouse, sits next to the fort, it was originally, a wooden "Perch", hence its name. A large post held a light on top and was supported by a sort of tripod. It was erected on the Black Rock in 1683 by the Liverpool Corporation.
When foreign ships, passed the old perch, they were charged sixpence for its respect and to keep it in repair. But it was often washed away and a boat had to be launched to recover it from Bootle Bay. In February 1821, the pilot boat "Liver" crashed into the perch and carried it away. It has been said that it was washed away in March 1824 and not recovered until the December.
However the cost of replacing it all the time grew too expensive and it was decided to build a new one.
Construction of the Lighthouse
The foundation stone of the new lighthouse was laid on 8th June 1827 by Thomas Littledale, Mayor of Liverpool. It was designed on the lines of Eddystone by Mr. Foster and built of marble rock from Anglesey by Tomkinson & Company. It rises 90 feet above the rocks and is considered to be a masterpiece of craftsmanship. The granite cost 1/6d a cubic foot.
Each piece of stone is interlocked into the next. The whole stonework, when finished , was coated with what is known as "Puzzellani" a volcanic substance from Mount Etna which, with age, becomes rock hard. The first 45 feet is solid. A spiral staircase leads to where the keeper lived and then on to the lantern house. The revolving light was said to be the first in the country. It cost £27,500 to construct.
The Lighthouse In Use
Work was only possible at low tide and it was not completed until 1830. Its first light shone on the 1st March of that yea and consisted of two white flashes, followed by one red, with a range of 14 miles. The light was 77 feet above the half-tide level. It was eventually electrically connected to the mainland.
The Lighthouse last shone its light on 1st October 1973 as it was no longer needed on account of the radar system operating in the River.
The Lighthouse Now
A local architect purchased the lighthouse for £100 on condition he maintained the construction, he tried to restore the lantern again but the river authorities thought it might cause confusion to local shipping. So he refurbished it so that anyone could stay there for a short holiday. Indeed, it was their idea to attract newly married couples to spend part of their honeymoon there at a cost of £50 a day, with champagne and flowers thrown in.
With electricity being introduced, the old lighthouse has a galley with cooker and refridgerator and, on the first floor, a bathroom with shower. There is a living room and a bedroom on the next two floors. The lighthouse even has a television, just in case one gets bored with looking at the sea. A ladder has to be obtained from the fort to gain the necessary height to reach the 15 iron rungs of the lighthouse as the door is 25 feet from the base.
