Long before BN and Santa Fe merged they ran together on Houston Belt & Terminal track in Houston. Here we have a BN manifest headed south, probably to Galveston, and Santa Fe light power that had just come out of the Milby St engine facility behind me. The HB&T had somewhat of a 'D' shape and this is on the vertical part of that D that ran from Belt Line Junction on the north side to New South Yard on the south side. The curved part of the D went east at Belt Line Junction curved down by the port through Basin St yard and rejoined the vertical just north of New South Yard. Milby St roundhouse was one of my regular afternoon Houston tour stops. December 11, 1979
Grey Crowned Crane, Balearica regulorum, in the Houston Zoo.
Widespread in Africa, but classed as endangered since 2012 due to habitat loss. Have you noticed that human fondness for charismatic megafauna has not—in all these years since the original Earth Day—translated into habitat preservation?
SOOC, Reala Ace, minor crop to remove border distractions. The geotag is generic.
Happy Bird Thursday!
Two days to go....I am getting giddy ....and my hubby is coming back from work a day early so we can do our final photo together :-)
It has been a very rainy day!
Taken for ODC song - there are so many I can choose from with rain in the lyrics but I like this one- tears and rain by James Blunt.

Also for Bokeh Thursday -magic HBT ..I am going to post early ha ha as I am always the last to upload to this group :-)
The Houston Belt & Terminal connected with all the Class 1 railroads in Houston. Ownership was shared across all of them. For Switcher Sunday here are 2 SW1500's bought new from EMD on the same order in 1971. The 53 is shown here kicking cars in front of the New South Yard yard tower. .It wears the newer basic industrial yellow paint. New South Yard was the HB&T facility most used by the Santa Fe. October 11, 1983

After an event for UP employees at Settegast Yard in northeast Houston, the Big Boy headed out to prepare for public display at the Amtrak Station the following day. Due to the complicated nature of the route back to the Amtrak depot, UP opted to just have 4014 shove backwards for nearly the entire route.
Here, UP 4014 shoves out the north end of Settegast Yard at HBT Jct.

I took this photo with my small Nikon Coolpix L110 a while ago. I like playing with it occasionally to see how it compares to my big cameras. I really liked the way the moon looked behind these limbs. Not bad for a point and shoot.
HBW and HBT !!
It seems yesterday was Bokeh Wednesday and all Flickr'ers wished each other HBW - "Happy Bokeh Wednesday"!..
As ignorant as I usually am, I had no idea... Still, I guess I can declare today Bokeh Thursday and wish everybody: HBT!..

HBT and HMBT, folks!
It may be old and rusted, but this veteran searchlight from the Houston Belt & Terminal days still protects traffic on what's now UP's West Belt Sub near Downtown Houston. Curiously though, I have no idea what the "225" is referencing. This location is MP 234.45 on the UP, and was roughly MP 5.5 on the HB&T.

Two of these went by and I only got a photo of the second one. Unfortunately it was the same bus I saw earlier in the day, so I could've done with them coming the other way around.

Breaking up the St. Louis monotony a bit, here's Houston Belt & Terminal SW9 #24 parked at its Milby Street facility in Houston, TX. That's MP15DC #60 hiding behind it. One of my few half-decent shots of this local road; and it seems nothing ever moved on a Saturday.
