M318 sits in the morning hours at Parkersburg, WV for a crew change. This manifest had a long journey from Chicago!
I had to take each piece out seperately and fold it to make sure I didn't miss anything tucked in amongst it. :)
After watching L588 depart with a friend I met up with at the Neenah yard, he and I talked for long enough to catch A447 making a late-night arrival. I hadn't intended to stay out that late, but it turns out waiting was absolutely worthwhile; following CN 2237 were NS 1843 and CP 9373! This was my first time catching a Canadian Pacific unit, which are extremely rare to find running on Canadian National rails.

Cathleen Ryan '13, Dingle Bay, Ireland.
Dingle Bay is an all Irish-speaking town in the south of Ireland and these were possibly the most gorgeous cliffs I've ever seen, it was absolutely breath-taking.
Some agencies from Soviet empire are still there. This one is called "Mid" (ministry for international affairs) and is somewhat public. Do they still plan to take on the world, or are they just short of money to take the Soviet blazon off this façade, or both?

Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington or D.C., is the capital of the United States. Founded after the American Revolution as the seat of government of the newly independent country, Washington was named after George Washington, first President of the United States and Founding Father. As the seat of the United States federal government and several international organizations, Washington is an important world political capital. The city is also one of the most visited cities in the world, with more than 20 million tourists annually.
The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of a capital district located along the Potomac River on the country's East Coast. The U.S. Constitution provided for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. Congress, and the District is therefore not a part of any state. The states of Maryland and Virginia each donated land to form the federal district, which included the pre-existing settlements of Georgetown and Alexandria. The City of Washington was founded in 1791 to serve as the new national capital. In 1846, Congress returned the land originally ceded by Virginia; in 1871, it created a single municipal government for the remaining portion of the District.
Washington had an estimated population of 702,455 as of July 2018, making it the 20th most populous city in the United States. Commuters from the surrounding Maryland and Virginia suburbs raise the city's daytime population to more than one million during the workweek. Washington's metropolitan area, the country's sixth largest, had a 2017 estimated population of 6.2 million residents.
All three branches of the U.S. federal government are centered in the District: Congress (legislative), president (executive), and the U.S. Supreme Court (judicial). Washington is home to many national monuments, and museums, primarily situated on or around the National Mall. The city hosts 177 foreign embassies as well as the headquarters of many international organizations, trade unions, non-profit, lobbying groups, and professional associations, including the World Bank Group, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Organization of American States, AARP, the National Geographic Society, the Human Rights Campaign, the International Finance Corporation, and the American Red Cross.
A locally elected mayor and a 13‑member council have governed the District since 1973. However, Congress maintains supreme authority over the city and may overturn local laws. D.C. residents elect a non-voting, at-large congressional delegate to the House of Representatives, but the District has no representation in the Senate. The District receives three electoral votes in presidential elections as permitted by the Twenty-third Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1961.
