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!
CP 8072 East - S LHWLPC 2 - Coolidge, NM
The 1st week of September the CN and the BNSF did joint PTC interoperability testing on the Aurora Sub. The train consisted of BNSF and CN management and crews, plus both road's power. The testing went on from CN's Dubuque Yard to Galena, running via the BNSF Aurora Sub from East Dubuque to Portage, distance of 12 miles. The testing was done to allow for each railroad's PTC information to be passed along as trains pass from one railroad to another, or used when each other's units are used as a lead motor. This will allow for smoother transition between railroads on run thru power or trains. Here the train is stopped at East Dubuque waiting on river traffic.
Emmnos science drone interoperability squad
Given the newfound improvements to radio frequency technology and remote sensing equipment using HVSCO sensors, Emmnistrian scientific interests now focus on field deployment of drone based mesh spectral arrays for imaging in adverse Emmnos climates.
With forward deploy via Brown-noser off the table, sand machines and drones are the only security and vehicular option. With increased spectral imaging, first response teams hope to improve SAR operations. Additionally, academic interests would like to understand flora and fauna movements during storms.

EN: Not without some teething problems was the introduction of the new Golden Pass Express trainsets which are interoperable on 1000mm and 1435mm gauge rails. After a year in service they are running more or less on time now. Here we see PE4069 hauled by Re 465 012 on the standard gauge section from Interlaken Ost to Zweisimmen. The train has just passed Burgholz.
DE: Nicht ohne Kinderkrankheiten verlief die Einführung des Golden Pass Express - des sowohl auf Meterspur wie auch auf Normalspur einsetzbaren Zuges der MOB. Nach einem Jahr Einsatz laufen die Züge aber inzwischen mehr oder weniger pünktlich. Gezogen von der Re 465 012 hat PE4069 auf seinem Weg von Interlaken Ost nach Zweisimmen gerade Burgholz passiert.

Ørsdalsvatnet is a lake 64 meters above sea level in Bjerkreim, Rogaland. The lake is elongated, 15.5 kilometers long, and is in a cracking with the direction Øvstabødalen and Lysefjord further north. Along the lake there are many farms without road(now abandoned). Ørsdalen, where this picture is from, got it's first motor road in 1973. It has therefore been the boat traffic on the lake for a long time. The first boat that went in routed interoperability was "Lillegut" which was purchased in 1900. Now the M / K Ørsdølen in tourist traffic every Sunday. (Roughly from Wiki)

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.”
