In front of the Jefferon County Courthouse (now known as Louisville Metro Hall) in Downtown Louisville, KY is this prominent statue of Thomas Jefferson. It was sculpted by Moses Ezekiel in 1901 and given to the city.
For the statue, Thomas Jefferson is holding the Declaration of Independence, which he authored. Jefferson stands atop a bell. The bell is flanked by four winged statues representing Liberty, Equality, Justice and the Brotherhood of Man (Religious Freedom). 103

The Jefferson Memorial is a presidential memorial in Washington, D.C., dedicated to Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826), one of the most important of the American Founding Fathers as the main drafter and writer of the Declaration of Independence.
Mount Jefferson ist ein inaktiver Stratovulkan der Kaskadenkette. Er ist mit 3199 m der zweithöchste Berg im US-Bundesstaat Oregon. Sein Gestein setzt sich im Wesentlichen aus Andesit, Basaltandesit und Dazit zusammen. Mt. Jefferson ist stark zerklüftet und hat mehrere Gletscher.
Mount Jefferson is a stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc, part of the Cascade Range in the U.S. state of Oregon. The second highest mountain in Oregon, it is situated within Linn County, Jefferson County, and Marion County and forms part of the Mount Jefferson Wilderness. Due to the ruggedness of its surroundings, the mountain is one of the hardest volcanoes to reach in the Cascades.
One of the 3 Rivers whose confluence creates the Missouri River in Montana is seen here just south of Three Forks, Montana from the Jefferson County side.
The monuments have been photographed so many times. I know its cliche, but I wanted to try to give each a slightly different spin that most. I did NOT want a snapshot. So here I took an approach of a vertical, fisheye, panorama. It certainly conveys the space within this monument. I think it also give a feeling of loneliness. You can almost hear him saying "wait, don't go, lets talk about Monticello, or my crazy idea of resetting the prime meridian to go through DC." Look Thomas, I have to go, Abe and the others are waiting. Always marginalized over here on the far side of the Tidal Basin. Could be worse, could be Teddy on his island.
Montana Rail Link's Logan local (R-MRL8441) returns to Logan after working Whitehall. The 844 runs through Jefferson Canyon once a week to work a few industries at Whitehall. The canyon is very scenic, quite possibly the best scenery we encountered in Montana.

... traveled to Jefferson Island’s Rip’s Rookery yesterday to capture how the eggs are coming along from my pre-visit with some flickr Friends a few weeks back, along with, how much larger are the little-ones were getting ... here below this Tri-colored Heron is; "Eddie’s first capture of a Tri-colored Heron's Chick" ... :-)))
Driving along Highway 26, north of Madras, I thought this was Mount Hood -- so I pulled off on a farm road to take a shot.
Then I looked to the right and I saw Mount Hood.
This is Mount Jefferson.
is a national memorial in Washington, D.C., built in honor of Thomas Jefferson, the principal author of the United States Declaration of Independence, a central intellectual force behind the American Revolution, a founder of the Democratic-Republican Party, and the nation's third president.

An MRL ballast train rolls east through Jefferson Canyon. This train loaded near Pipestone, the western end of operations on what was once Northern Pacific's Homestake Pass route. Today just a local to Whitehall and these ballast extras operate this way.
UP 6910 west, ZDUNP 03
It's not often that I get time to take a photo of my own train, but this hot shot strolled up to the platform in preparation for a crew change only minutes after we were notified that we would be swapped. I was previously called against a Herington-bound shit freight that was slated for multiple work events and would have made for a bad day. I've been wanting one of these rebuilt AC6000's as a leader ever since they started rolling out of Wabtec's Ft. Worth facility, and this thing did not disappoint; it rode nicer than any other C44ACM that I've ever had for a leader. Attentive modelers and rivet counters will notice that these locomotives have new cabs fitted during the rebuild process, and I can only assume that it further aids in the fitting of the new cab electronics, as an added bonus this particular refurb had a significantly smooth ride quality. To make the trip even better, T/O ran this thing like an actual Z train for once and it made for a 6.5 hour trip which included our work at Neff. Every once in a while, I get a winner.
UP 6910, a C44ACM, was built as UP AC6000CW #7523 in September 1998. These locomotives were delivered with the ability to produce 6250 traction horsepower and were among the most powerful locomotives available from manufacturers at the time. In 2008, this locomotive, along with many of its GE brethren over time, were de-rated from 6250hp to 4400hp due to problems with the GE-Deutz HDL prime movers. This also instated a renumbering process from the 7500-series to the 6898+ numbering series. This locomotive obviously given the number 6910 and continues to wear it despite years of continuous renumbering of the UP fleet. The 7500-number series would eventually be worn by the later GE Evolution series locomotives that were delivered to the UP between 2011 and 2012.
Just another frome I like from this spot deep in the confines of the Jefferson River Canyon on one of the most famous stretches along the Northern Pacific Railway where many a publicity photo was taken of the legendary North Coast Limited. These days the line is no longer a through route and the trains are far less elegant, but at least these rails remain unlike the Milwaukee Road on the other side of the river whose right of way has been bereft of rails for over four decades now.
Montana Rail Link's diminutive 844 Logan local has one covered hopper in tow here at about MP 27.5 on the modern day MRL's 5th Sub. Leading are a pair of classic EMD GP35s, MRL 403 and 405 blt. Dec 1964 as DRGW 3039 and Jan. 1964 as DTI 353 respectively.
Countless articles have been written about the MRL over the past 35 years of its existence and if you care to learn more download this great set courtesy of Trains Magazine:

I saw this cat walking through Jefferson Square in South Philadelphia. It took some time out to pose for a picture.
