From Wikipedia:
Southern Railway 630 is a steam locomotive built in 1904 by the American Locomotive Company (Richmond Works) for the Southern Railway. It is a 2-8-0 Consolidation of Southern's Ks-1 class.
The 630 was used on Southern until her retirement in 1952. December of that year, the 630 and sister locomotive, 722, were purchased by the East Tennessee & Western North Carolina Railroad and numbered 207 and 208 appropriately. In December 1967, both locomotives were traded back to the Southern for use in their Steam Program and re-given their former identities in return for a pair of former Central of Georgia Alco RS3's. The locomotives headed main line excursion trains over the entire Southern system until the 1983 when both were retired again from the Southern in lieu of larger power. They both were leased to the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum. 722 was later donated by Southern's successor NS to the City of Asheville, NC. TVRM ran the 630 until 1989 when she was yet again retired. 630 was donated to TVRM in 1998 by NS. That same year, the 630 entered TVRM's restoration shop (now Soule Shops) and has since been under restoration. It is one of the most thorough restorations that has been done in the U.S. for many years, including frame work and a complete running gear overhaul. As of March 2011, 630 is once again operational and is currently undergoing test runs.
A miner’s carbide lamp. According to the American Museum of Natural History:
Carbide lamps are powered by the reaction of calcium carbide (CaC2) with water (H2O). This reaction produces acetylene gas (C2H2) which burns a clean, white flame. Acetylene gas was originally discovered by Edmund Davy in 1836, but commercial production of calcium carbide only became feasible due to the efforts of Thomas Wilson in 1894. Frederick Baldwin is credited with developing the first carbide mining lamp, holding U.S. Patent number 656,874 for an Acetylene Gas Lamp that was granted August 28, 1900. Commercial production of carbide mining lamps began soon after, and the collection in the Division of Work and Industry reflects a variety of carbide lamp designers and manufacturers including Baldwin, Auto-Lite, Guy’s Dropper, Shanklin, Dewar, and Wolf. Carbide lamps came in different sizes for different uses, smaller lamps were cap lamps, larger lamps were hand lamps or hanging lamps.
The design of the carbide lamp consists of two chambers—an upper chamber holding water and a lower chamber holding the calcium carbide. Acetylene gas is produced when water from the lamp's upper level encounters the calcium carbide stored in the base via a dripping mechanism. The amount of water flowing into the calcium carbide container can be controlled, with more water producing more gas and a bigger flame when the lamp is lit. The gas is funneled to the burner, where it is lit by a match or a built-in striker. Once the flame is lit, a reflector allows the miner to control the direction of the light.
The carbide lamp consisted of several improvements to both the oil-wick lamp and candle as a means for lighting in non-gaseous mines. The lamp produced no carbon monoxide, consumed less oxygen, gave a brighter 4-6 candlepower light, and had a higher light quality than the candles or oil-wick lamps it replaced. The carbide lamp had its problems as well. Average runtime in carbide cap lamps was only about four hours, necessitating a carbide refill mid-shift, which could leave the miner in darkness. The burner tip was also prone to clogging, and concussive blasts or winds inside the mine could extinguish the light as well.
The popularity of carbide mining lamps was short–lived, as electric battery powered lamps came into favour around 1918 due to their superior light, safety, and runtime, and had almost completely replaced carbide lamps by the 1930s.
According to our guide, many of the older miners preferred these to the more modern electrical lamps, as they were lighter and the flame provided clues of gas pockets. Methane wasn't a problem in the Drumheller coal fields, so safety lamps weren't needed.

saturday.

Chevrolet Impala 2 door sedan 1958 has deeply sculptured rear fenders. Three taillights each side would become an Impala hallmark whereas lesser models had two and wagons just one. Special crossed-flag insignias sat above the side moldings plus bright rocker moldings and dummy rear-fender scoops. 1958 was the first year of dual headlamps.
Impala signaled Chevrolet's entry into the mid-price field, even if the design was less radical than planned. In addition to style and vigorous performance, ads marketed its "quick, eager-to-please handling that lets you know you're the boss."
Finding some sun for a winter snow camp. Headed East to Blewett Pass and hiked up towards the southern saddle. Pitched camp in about two feet of snow. We were with another family and E and their kiddo spent hours sledding. Good weather, not too cold.

I liked how the headlamp illuminated the boiling water and the small area around the cook pot. The red in the steam is from another headlamp with the red beam setting on.
Lost in a field are these old Wolseley cars, forgotten and overgrown. Trees grow where they are left, and many are covered by fallen branches from a storm earlier in the year. Many of them are slowly rusting away, and at some point in the past look to have been used for spares, engines are missing, and seats and other parts long gone. The tide of nettles is rising, and soon they will be submerged for the summer.
