The scenic road Akamina Parkway leads steeply and at an altitude of 1646 m opens up views of beautiful Lake Cameron, nestled between the majestic mountain peaks of the Akamina Ridge. It is named after Donald Cameron (1834–1921), a British officer and diplomat.
The lake, in addition to the beauty of the coasts, is known and the wealth of fish, and grizzlies are often seen on the far slopes.

Живописная дорога Акамина драйв круто взмывается вверх и на высоте 1646 м внезапно открывает вид на озеро Камерон, расположенное между величественными горными пиками Акаминского хребта. Названо в честь британского офицера и дипломата Дональда Камерона.
Это озеро, помимо красы берегов, известно и богатством рыбы. А на склонах берегов нередко встречаются гризли ...

A path leads to a 42-meter observation tower, which provides a unique panoramic view of the Saar Loop and the surrounding countryside.
This photo may look similar to the one I posted a few months ago, but it's a view from a different height.
My daughter used to live in the backyard cottage of people who own this gorgeous German Shepherd, Luca. She is now living somewhere else, but we both still miss dear Luca. Such a magnificent and very sweet dog.
No.7029 Clun Castle leads, with No.46233 Duchess of Sutherland bringing up the rear.

This path leads to a WWII bunker just over the summit. From there you overlook the suburb of North Ward and the Strand. In the distance you can see Magnetic Island. You can tell by the clothes that Winter is very mild here.
This trail leads along the former German-German border and is called the green ribbon. Now in winter it is less green, but quite snowy. The trail the green belt leads from north to south across Germany.
The central doorway leads into the dark, atmospheric vestibule, where the roof is supported by 18 columns with wonderfully varied floral capitals in the form of palm leaves, lotus buds and papyrus fans; some also have bunches of grapes, a distinctive Roman touch.

Although only this column room remains of the original temple, the interior reliefs and walls are in good condition for a forgotten temple in the interior of Egypt. There are still improvements in progress through the restoration process.

From Ruta 40 and then 76 a dirt road leads to the National Park "Talampaya". The park is in a basin between the Cerro Los Colorados to the west and the Sierra de Sañagasta to the east. The landscape is the result of erosion by water and wind in a desert climate, with large ranges in temperature - high heat by day and low temperature at night, with torrential rain in summer and strong wind in spring.
Features are: The dry bed of the Talampaya River, where dinosaurs lived millions of years ago; the "Talampaya gorge" and its rock formations with walls up to 143 metres high; the remains of indigenous peoples' settlements; regional fauna, including guanacos, hares, maras, foxes and condors.

The Vet leads a loaded ballast train west over bridge 57 on the way to Noxon. They will run around the train at Noxon, and head east to dump ballast at the Tuscor siding.
NR30 leads NR31 through the farmlands near Nana Glen, just north of Coffs Harbour, on the last leg to Brisbane.
The Inca trail leads to Intipunku, the Sun Gate (altitude 2720m - 8923ft), which marks the entrance to the site of Machu Picchu.
As we see on the photo, the Sun Gate, you've got to earn it ...
But given the magic of what we discovered when we arrived there, it was well worth it!

La dernière montée avant Intipunku, la Porte du Soleil
Le chemin de l'Inca débouche sur Intipunku, la Porte du Soleil, à 2720 m , qui marque l'entrée du site du Machu Picchu.
Comme on le voit sur la photo, la Porte du Soleil, cela se mérite ...
Mais vu la magie de ce qu'on a découvert en y arrivant, cela en valait bien la peine !

Conrail B36-7 5000 leads the eastbound from Lima into the yard at Mansfield. He is just getting off the main and entering the yard lead, while passing the classic Westinghouse Electric Co. building. Even at the time of the photo, the building was only a remnant of the structures that once stood there. I believe this corner end still stands but who knows for how long. I know I'm getting old because way back in the mid-1980's, I actually made a sales call in that complex, back when the blue sky area above the GP38-2 and cars was also industrial buildings. And East 4th street was like driving through a ally between skyscrapers.
NBSR 6319 leads a green trio of power as they negotiate the terrain of the McAdam Sub with New Brunswick Southern Railway westbound train 907, approaching Cork, NB.

Union Pacific 8777 leads a Pixley, California - Tuscola, Illinois grain empty through scenic Echo Canyon, Utah the morning of May 6, 2023. On the right is a giant boulder of conglomerate rock, which rolled down the mountain back in 1948, crossing the Lincoln Highway, and coming to a stop just shy of the Union Pacific tracks. It was determined to be stable, and remains a landmark. I figure if the passage of Big Boy 4014 couldn't set it free, nothing will.
This lovely way leads us to the beach with white sand and turquoise water. 14 days no rain and a light brize near the water - relaxing poor. But Alanya has to offer history and much action besides.

This camelback truss bridge crosses the North Fork of the Shoshone River and leads to the UXU Ranch. The 162 foot span, which is a variant of the Pratt truss design, was originally built in 1924 for use near Powell, Wyoming. The bridge itself is a Parker variant of the Pratt design in which the polygonal top chord is built with exactly five slopes. The UXU ranch started out as a sawmill in 1898 and was converted to a guest ranch in 1929. For years the only access to the ranch was a footbridge across the North Fork from the Yellowstone Highway (US 20/14/16). Then in 1968 the bridge was disassembled and moved from its original location to the UXU which made the ranch finally accessible by car. Located in the Shoshone National Forest west of Cody Wyoming, the ranch is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

OSR 182 leads the Woodstock Job out of Putnam. Anticipating a heavy train off of CP at Woodstock the OSR put a third unit on the train making for a "rare" catch.
37418 leads 11 TTA two axle fuel tanks over the viaduct at Ackworth on the line through Pontefract Baghill to Moorthorpe on the morning of March the 7th 2023. These wagons have been in store at Gascoigne Wood since mid November 2022 after being made redundant in their work carrying Aviation fuel from the Grangemouth Refinery. Running as train 6Z42, the 09:45 from Gascoigne Wood to Lydney, the wagons are heading for a new era in Preservation at the Dean Forest Railway.
The road that leads north out of Tavistock - the A386 - runs alongside the western edge of Dartmoor, sometimes within Dartmoor National Park itself. A few miles to the north of Tavistock narrow country roads from both the neighbouring villages of Mary Tavy and Peter Tavy lead onto the western edge of Dartmoor by following the valley of the River Tavy. But you cannot go far before encountering the vast Army Training Area where red flags will warn of live firing. This picture was taken near the hamlet of Horndon, just over a mile to the east of Mary Tavy. Here the road curves down into the valley of the River Tavy, which it crosses at Hill Bridge. This is a sheep farming area and several farm buildings and a number of sheep can be seen dotted across the landscape.
C17 967 leads sister 974 back towards Gympie with the Mry Valley Rattler with the 3rd birthday special
CP 4715 leads a bunch of smaller MLW products and an awful looking blue EMD leaser on train 556 at Emmons, NY on August 22, 1992. This would have been one of my best scores of the CP era on the old D&H, but that blue leaser just messes up what is an otherwise awesome set of power.
56078 leads the 6Z88 Drigg - Port of Workington pass Nethertown. 56113 was on the rear. 27 March 2023.

Regional Railways liveried (Direct Rail Services) 37425 'Sir Robert McAlpine / Concrete Bob' leads the 6P01 0445 Wickford to Whitemoor Yard L.D.C Gbrf past Ely Dock Junction, with BR Large Logo 37424 'Avro Vulcan XH558' at the rear.
Direct Rail Services (DRS) 37716 leads 3x RHTT sets (642050 + 642036, 642044 + 642011, 642041 + 642019) past Barway, 6Z37 1135 from York Thrall Europa (Holgate Works) to Stowmarket D.G.L, in preparation for the Autumn RHTT season. These 3x RHTT sets were taken back to York Holgate Works on the 10th, to receive additional wheel maintenance before beginning the 2020 RHTT season.
4210 leads a westbound Cliffs Erie train away from Cramer Tunnel on the afternoon of October 16, 2008. The clean up trains of 2008 were almost finished here as they cleared out the remaining ore and even some limestone from the Taconite Harbor dock. Twelve days later the 4210 and friends would arrive Hoyt Lakes for the last time with the last train.
The dreary, late fall weather seems fitting in retrospect for my last CE sighting. On this day, some stubborn leaves cling although their end is near. Same could be said for the A-B-B-B-A set of F9s that hung on for over 7 years even after the LTV plant closed. But all good things come to an end. This shot 10 years and one day ago would be the last time I would shoot the Cliffs Erie and the F units on home rails.
At least the trailing F9 and one of the B-units survive at the LSRM. The leader lives looks great in Indiana on the Vermillion Valley. The Cliffs Erie tracks remain quiet except the far west end that is sometimes used for car storage.
