Das historische Hafen-amt, erbaut 1889, gehört nicht nur zu den schönsten Gebäuden im Kölner Rheinauhafen, sondern auch zu den schönsten Zeugnissen der Kölner Wirtschafts- und Baugeschichte.
Das Ensemble aus Hafenamt und angrenzendem Lokschuppen wurde Anfang der Jahrhundertwende um zusätzliche Büro- und Magazinflächen erweitert. In 2014 wurde das denkmalgeschützte Gebäude und der Erweiterungsbau vom bekannten Kölner Architekten Michael Zimmermann revitalisiert, ohne die vorhandenen stillvollen Elemente zu verändern. Es entsteht eine außergewöhnliche Symbiose zwischen historischem Altbau und modernem Neubau, der diesem Standort neue Akzente geben wird.
Herzstück des historischen Hafenamts und seinen Erweiterungsbauten ist die zentrale Halle, die alle drei Gebäudeteile miteinander verbindet. Die drei Bereiche, historischer Teil, moderner Teil und Lokschuppen, besitzen alle eine eigenständige Identität mit einer teilweisen unterschiedlichen aber immer hochwertigen Ausstattung.
The historic port office, built in 1889, is not only one of the most beautiful buildings in Cologne's Rheinauhafen, but also one of the most beautiful testimonies to Cologne's economic and building history.
The ensemble of port authority and adjoining engine shed was expanded to include additional office and warehouse space at the turn of the century. In 2014 the listed building and the extension were revitalized by the well-known Cologne architect Michael Zimmermann without changing the existing stylish elements. The result is an extraordinary symbiosis between the historic old building and the modern new building, which will give this location new accents.
The heart of the historic port authority and its extensions is the central hall that connects all three parts of the building. The three areas, the historical part, the modern part and the locomotive shed, all have their own identity with partly different but always high-quality furnishings.

just in case I forget who I am!
What a lovely surprise this morning! 'Identity' has been chosen as cover for SL In Timeless Black & White ♥!
Thank you very much 😙✨
You can keep me forever but you can’t keep my heart.
You can keep my freedom but you can’t keep my free will.
You can keep my life but you can’t keep my soul.
You can keep my love but you can’t keep my hate.
You can keep my joy but you can’t keep my sorrows.
Because I am a human with no name & identity ......... !
"""""""" WHO AM I ????? I would really like to know that!!
So sorry, that I immediately barged in with a serious philosophical issue……
But yesterday I was just an ordinary square piece of paper, cozy on a pile with my family and friends.
Suddenly I had to do all kinds of stretching exercises to get into this shape and I really don't know what will happen next…….. missing my friends……feeling quite stressed……. Hopefully time will reveal it soon! """""""

Altough it was built as CN 9640 in 1976, Huron Central Railway 3010 has been wearing Genesee & Wyoming orange for the past 21 years. Plying the rails of former Canadian Pacific Railway's Webbwood subdivision between Sudbury and Sault Ste.Marie, ON. Hence the CPR switch lock, on a former CN engine, wearing G&W colours.

Looks like CSX U36B #5797 (former SCL 1847) never quite made a complete transition to the Blue & Gray.
Seen here working ex-L&N Siebert yard at Mobile, AL on 13 February 1993 with GE MATE #5204 (former SCL 3204).
The 5797 later went to TTI.
A snatched grab shot in the supermarket as the citrus fruit here looked quite bright as required for this week's Saturday Self Challenge 14/12/2024 -- Bright & colourful !!
Problem is , I thought I was taking a shot of limes - some ripe and some not .But , the price ticket at the bottom of the tray it said " Loose Lemons " !
Whatever they are , the choice this week was very limited for bright and colourful subjects with the cloud hiding anything worth taking outside !!
Thinking about it , they must be limes , if they were lemons it would be a tray of cars with one problem after another !!
The only Lemon song I can think of has to be this one --------

Does anyone know the identity of this plant. I like that it has two colours of flowers on the same stem.. From a bouquet.
25313 [possibly] heads away from Bayston Hill towards Condover in circa August 1981.
My reason for saying 25313 is because of the position of the 'dominos' and the slightly different heights of the electrification warnings.Of course this could be more common than I realise. I await to be educated by the more knowledgeable.
I'm fairly certain that this is 1981 as I don't recall this working after around 1982. But then I was someone who used to just arrive at the lineside and photograph whatever turned up.
Leica M8, Leitz Elmar 4/135 at F16 (contre-jour, reflector). All my self-portraits are in essence acts of performance. I use my face as a stage and, more often than not, I am finding out in retrospect only what kind of play was staged. None of these images is actually 'me', but the dialogue with the images is helping me to address the question of my identity with more rigour.
Most of my fellow foamer friends think this thing is hideous and won't shoot a train if it's on it. I'm in the other camp and think its kind of awesome with its mis match of eras. What camp are you in?
While waiting around for some window trains to pass I grabbed this clean roster shot of PW 4001 a GE B40-8 blt. Jun. 1988 as NYSW 4004. It is the trailing unit on Providence and Worcester freight DAWO (Davisville to Worcester) which runs under the cover of darkness and is the only freight train that normally operates on this stretch of the busy Northeast Corridor. The prior night's southbound WODA crew ran out of time and was unable to make the trip back north, so they tied their train down here just railroad west of the US Route 1 overpass. It was brought to Worcester later in the day by Valley Falls based PR-3 once they are done with their regular customer work.
I wasn't able to wait around for that to happen but did catch a few trains passing them as they sat on Main 4 just west of Malcolm interlocking at MP 169.9 on Amtrak's New Haven Line main.

I am an only child and what that really means is that I spent a great deal of time learning how to exist in the world both alone and lonely. Unlike many kids today who grow up with constant entertainment through the internet screens, I had to learn to use my imagination to fill my extra time. It also meant that I had to get used to having strong feelings and have no place for them outside of myself.
For many years when I was a kid, I really wanted to have as many friends as possible and be the popular one at school. But, I soon realized I had developed opinions that were very different from most kids at school. For instance, I hated Barbie (still do!) and I thought Vanilla Ice was.a thief and that Freddie Mercury (though dying of AIDS at the time) should make him rue the day he ever stepped in front of a microphone. (Most of my friends were developing dance routines to "Ice Ice Baby". So yeah...). For the record, I still detest the person and the song.
You can try to make friends and influence people but if you're a person like me, you tend to think you've given up something genuine about yourself that way. Eventually, you realize you are better off alone.
Then, Cinchel came along and I really couldn't believe it was possible to have this kind of connection with another human. I know some would rather be solitary forever but, for me, the thought of losing him is devastating.
Still, after Trump won the election recently, maybe my old solitary child need for space reappeared. Basically, even if you surround yourself with well meaning people, you can still never escape your own self. I had friends and family calling but I just wanted to be away from everything, especially my own head space. And, when you work in a public sphere and you have to function and not fall apart and succumb to hysterical crying all day, it is exhausting to say the least. I realize we all do this to some extent unless you're the human on the street corner literally screaming non stop until someone attacks or arrests you. There is a persistent sense in my mind, though, that there are a great deal of people who are disinterested and don't connect the impact of choices or lack of choices. Maybe they end up happier or not....I'm not really sure. No one can ever truly know what is like to be another human being.
In any case, when you reach a certain level of depression, you don't even want people around you who you care for deeply because you don't want them to have to witness you at your worst, even when they are willing. It is likely that, as in that expression "You contain multitudes" that we are not so simple as we appear on the surface. There are quite a few complex layers of human consciousness to contend with and they might not all agree with each other.
Today is Thanksgiving in America, which is nice that we have one day designated to be grateful for others while the other 364 days we are competitive, bitter, and spiteful. Well, I try not to be this way. But, you see it with extreme capitalism that these systems drive us to the point of being different selves and ones I wouldn't want to have even a basic conversation with.
Let's be thankful for those humans who have seen our true selves and still choose to share some of their time on Earth with us. We can be thankful for solitude too..for quiet moments and presence within moments without the world weighing on us.
I don't define myself by other people but I doubt I would still exist in this reality as a living breathing entity without certain people.
I hope you find peace today.

CSX (SBD) GP40 6773 (reportedly built as SCL 1619) is parked at the company shops backlot in Waycross, GA. If only the Seaboard logo was on that yellow nose.
This unit allegedly went to Point Comfort and Northern, then New Orleans Public Belt, now works for Nebraska Central, proving they don't make them like they used to.

Prairie blazing star (Liatris pycnostachya) blooms in profusion in a high quality longleaf pine savanna in Newton County, Texas.
This is another image taken on private land in the Pineywoods of east Texas. In stark contrast with the imperiled forest I posted yesterday, these woods are protected through legal agreements with nonprofit conservation partners and are managed to maintain exceptionally high quality habitat. I use the term “woods” lightly for this longleaf pine savanna, as, despite the trees, places like this are more prairie than forest. This site is rich in prairie genera like Schizachyrium, Andropogon, Eryngium, Silphium, and so on. This savanna received a growing season burn this year, which is typical of the fire regime under which the community evolved, and contrary to the cool season burns that primarily occur today due to a variety of non-ecological reasons. The results were spectacular, and Liatris pycnostachya in particular seemed to respond.
