Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar are the only two places in the whole of Tibet that were visited by Lord Buddha, accompanied by five hundred Arhats. During the turning of the Three Wheels of the Dharma, Buddha Shakyamuni extensively explained the merits of building images. So Indra (the king of gods) offered precious articles of the gods, Ananda (the king of Serpents or Nagas) offered precious articles of the Nagas and Bimbisara (the king of Magadh) offered gold and silver, etc. to the Buddha and requested him to have three images of the Buddha made, as a means of generating merit for the sentient beings in the future. The total distance, covered in a complete circumambulation of Mount Kailash according to the route charted by Gotsangpa, is 52km and takes about 13 to 15 hours. Tibetan pilgrims generally start early in the morning and complete one circumambulation by nightfall. Most Tibetan pilgrims do three to thirteen circumambulations of Mount Kailash. There are some who do 108 circumambulations of Mount Kailash. tibet-incense.com/blog/circling-kailash-and-manasarovar/

Doug’s “Kansas City” coal trains were symboled RIUE or a URUE. These trains loaded on the Utah Railway, at Mohrland, Wattis, and Hiawatha, and were destined to Union Electric generating stations in Missouri via the Rock Island or the Frisco. The “Kansas City” referred to UP hand-off to the delivering carrier, which occurred at Kansas City.
The RIUE went to Union Electric’s four-unit, 2,400-MW Labadie Power Plant, west of St. Louis on the Missouri River’s south bank. Union built Labadie in the early 1970s to burn Illinois Basin coal. Because that was high-sulfur coal, in the late 1970s the power plant began blending Western low-sulfur coal to comply with the Clean Air Act, which in 1977 began limiting sulfur dioxide emissions. The RIUE’s routing was Utah-UP-Rock Island, via Kansas City. Rock Island’s route across Missouri was nearly air-line, but in poor condition. After the Rock Island’s 1980 bankruptcy, the routing changed to Utah-UP-Missouri Pacific to St. Louis, then westward on a stub of the Rock Island to Labadie, purchased by the Cotton Belt. The RIUE’s empty return train was symboled RIUW.
From about May 1978 to July 1979, the Labadie Power Plant set used 70-ton Rock Island hoppers painted blue in the new “ROCK” scheme. This trainset also ran via UP from Provo to Kansas City.
The URUE went to Union Electric’s two-unit, 1,250-MW Rush Island Power Plant, 47 miles south of St. Louis on the Mississippi River’s west bank. Union built in the mid-1970s to burn Illinois Basin coal. Similarly, in 1977 it had to begin blending Western low-sulfur coal to comply with new CAA regulations. The URUE’s routing was Utah-UP-Frisco, via Kansas City. The Frisco route was circuitous via Springfield, in southwest Missouri. Its empty return train symbol was URUW.
UP’s unit train symbols at that time were not uniform. Most were four-letter symbols, some were three. Coal train symbols ended in UE or UW, UE standing for Unit East and UW standing for Unit West, regardless of which direction the train was loaded or empty. For most trains, the first one or two letters attempted to designate the coal’s consignee, e.g., KUW for Kaiser Unit West, from the D&RGW at Sunnyside, Utah, to Kaiser Steel at Fontana, California. For consignees with multiple power plants with UP unit trains – Union Electric had five – that methodology didn’t fully align. One could surmise that the RI in RIUE stood for Rock Island, and the UR in URUE stood for Union Electric-Rush Island.
i am about to step on my boat next week and tour around till beginning September, due to limited Internet I will not be able to generate images in this period (but will check my flickr page regularly). I would like to thank all who faved and commented on my images!!
Today's example of AI comes from some stuff I've been generating for my wife, the world's biggest Lucille Ball fan.
Boaters travel north on the Mississippi River near Red Wing, Minnesota, with the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant on the far bank at dusk. The plant, located upriver from downtown Red Wing, is a two-reactor nuclear power station operated on Prairie Island along the Mississippi. The boats were on the river during the Independence Day holiday period in early July 2022, when traffic on this stretch of the river increases for evening recreation and nearby fireworks displays.
Ute Generating Station was located outside of Craig on the Ute Spur which itself branched off from the Axial Spur. As it required a long back up move they kept a caboose long after the removal of cabooses on the rest of the UP system. Seen here shoving back on the Ute Spur with loads from Axial. June 1999
