An increase in PTC interoperability with foreign railroad locomotives has provided for some colorful sets of power on BNSF's busy Southern Transcon. One such example is this clean Canadian Pacific leader on eastbound ocean containers snaking along the red sandstone mesas near the Continental Divide. It's not quite Warbonnet red, but it's a nice change from the constant orange parade!

PACIFIC OCEAN (July 1, 2011) Ship’s Serviceman Seaman Joshua Willard mans the phone distance line during the forward-deployed dock landing ship USS Germantown’s (LSD 42) replenishment at sea (RAS) with USNS John Ericsson (T-AO-194). The phone distance line is used to measure how far the two ships are from each other. Germantown, part of the Essex Amphibious Ready Group, is currently underway preparing for Talisman Sabre, a bilateral command post and field training exercise designed to maintain a high level of interoperability between U.S. and Australian forces.

SU46-017 with a freight train from Horka on the German side is approaching Węgliniec. May 20, 2006, in the middle of modernization of the line no. 295, including electrification of this to date unelectrified line. Track no. 1 is temporary removed so all the traffic uses track no. 2. is moving along track No. 2, over which the catenary is already installed.
The works were completed afterwards and... it turned out that this electrification wasn't specially necessary at that moment, because the Germans (DB Netz) made their part about a decade later. So, in the meantime, the catenary on the Polish side was removed for couple of years and re-mounting was done together with the works on German side.
The most interoperable border crossing in Poland ever was opened. The change of the power and safety systems takes place near exactly at the border point over Nysa Łużycka river. To cover the Węgliniec - Horka section, the operator must have a multi-system locomotive and either a internationally certified driver or just two drivers - each one for every country. Comparing to the classic crossings, where the change of the locomotive meant the change of power/ safety system at one of the border stations, this way is something new and it looks like in the future such crossings will be more common. Today, only multisystem locomotives can be spotted at this crossing, like Vectrons, Eurosprinters and Traxxs, and occasionally diesel Class66 and BR232 - the latter have easier as only safety system switching must be done while crossing the border.
SU46 class locomotives in Węgliniec depot began to disappear, mainly due to the fact of not sending them for overhaul. Currently, the Dolnośląski division of PKP Cargo has one working locomotive of this class.

SU46-017 z pociągiem towarowym z niemieckiej Horki zbliża się do Węglińca. 20 maja 2006 roku, środek prac modernizacyjnych na linii nr 295, których efektem ma być kompleksowa modernizacja oraz elektryfikacja. Tor nr 1 jest na tym odcinku zdemontowany i wkrótce zostanie położony nowy, a ruch odbywa się torem nr 2, nad którym już wisi sieć trakcyjna.
Prace zostały zakończone i... okazało się, że można sobie tę elektryfikację wsadzić, bowiem Niemcy (DB Netz) do swojej części przystąpili dopiero około dekady później. W międzyczasie zdjęto sieć trakcyjną na polskim odcinku, by ją powtórnie położyć równolegle z niemieckimi przyjaciółmi.
Powstało najbardziej interoperacyjne przejście graniczne w Polsce, na którym zmiana systemu zasilania oraz krajowych systemów bezpieczeństwa dokonuje się niemal przy słupku granicznym na Nysie Łużyckiej. Chcąc pokonać odcinek Węgliniec - Horka, przewoźnik musi posiadać wielosystemową lokomotywę oraz albo dwusieciowego maszynistę, albo dwóch maszynistów - do każdego odcinka granicznego oddzielnego człowieka. Przyznam, że w porównaniu z klasycznymi przejściami, gdzie zmiana systemu odbywała się na stacji granicznej, jest to bardziej wymagające rozwiązanie, chociaż mimo tego przejście jest chętnie wykorzystywane przez przewoźników. Dzisiaj pojazdami trakcyjnymi na tym przejściu są wielosystemowe Vectrony, Eurosprintery i Traxxy, oraz sporadycznie spalinowe Class66.
Również w międzyczasie seria SU46 w Węglińcu zaczęła stopniowo zanikać, głownie z okazji niekierowania lokomotyw na naprawy rewizyjne (w międzyczasie nazwane przeglądami poziomu 4), ani tym bardziej na główne (poziom 5). Aktualnie Zakład Dolnośląski spółki PKP Cargo posiada jedną czynną lokomotywę tej serii.

If you want to look at a medical paper with pictures, then this is your lucky day! Any doctors want to comment on this study?
“All of the abnormal blood samples of injected persons, the 948 cases, showed tubular/fibrous formations and frequently also crystalline and lamellar formations with extremely complex but consistently similar morphologies across all of the patients with abnormal blood samples. Our results are so similar to those of Lee et al. (2022) that it could be claimed that, except for our innovative application of dark-field microscopy to mark the foreign metal-like objects in the blood of mRNA injections from Pfizer or Moderna, we have replicated the blood work of the Korean doctors with a much larger sample. Our findings, however, are bolstered by their parallel analysis of the fluids in vials of the mRNA concoctions alongside centrifuged plasma samples from the cases they studied intensively. What seems plain enough is that metallic particles resembling graphene oxide and possibly other metallic compounds, like those discovered by Gatti and Montanari (Montanari & Gatti, 2016; Gatti & Montanari, 2012, 2017, 2018), have been included in the cocktail of whatever the manufacturers have seen fit to put in the so-called mRNA “vaccines”. In our experience as clinicians, these mRNA injections are very unlike traditional “vaccines” and their manufacturers need, in our opinions, to come clean about what is in the injections and why it is there.”

Gates Foundation: $200 million to expand global Digital Public Infrastructure:
“This funding will help expand infrastructure that low- and middle-income countries can use to become more resilient to crises such as food shortages, public health threats, and climate change, as well as to aid in pandemic and economic recovery. This infrastructure encompasses tools such as interoperable payment systems, digital ID, data-sharing systems, and civil registry databases.”
