Indian Railways WDG-3A Alco 14855 catches the late afternoon light in December 2016 as it eases its train of BCNA type vans into the north platform loop at Asalpur-Jobner station. The train was carrying Jaypee Group bagged cement and it would be held here for about twenty minutes to enable a Jaipur bound express service to pass.

The Maze loop was recommended by a Ranger and while it didn't disappoint, I do have beef with the fact the trails in Joshua Tree are, compared to other parks I have been to, poorly labeled. Combined with a somewhat featureless landscape and it's amazing more people don't just wander off never to be seen again.
We got a big surprise from Ingrid this week. This pretty summer outfit is Loop Scoop and YS Kelley was thrilled to get to wear it first. Thank you Ingrid we love it!
Dogwood challenge. Week 17. Loop lighting. I have no off camera flash or a model. So this was the best model I had.
Another one from the hols in Co. Clare – bright morning light, billowing shower clouds and a lighthouse – what more do you want?? I used the Canon EFS 17-55 lens at f11, 20 mm and ISO 200 for 1/500th of second from the top of the compound wall.

The Georgetown Loop Railroad is a narrow gauge heritage railway located in Clear Creek County, Colorado in the United States. The Georgetown Loop Railroad was one of Colorado’s first visitor attractions. Completed in 1884, this spectacular stretch of narrow gauge railroad was considered an engineering marvel for its time. The thriving mining towns of Georgetown and Silver Plume lie two miles apart in steep, narrow Clear Creek west of Denver. To connect them, engineers designed a corkscrew route that traveled nearly twice that distance, slowly gaining more than 600 feet in elevation. It included horseshoe curves, grades of up to 4 percent, and four bridges across Clear Creek, including the massive Devil’s Gate High Bridge. The Colorado & Southern Railway operated the line for passengers and freight until 1938. Originally part of the larger line of Colorado Central Railroad constructed in the 1870s and 1880s, it was later dismantled, but was restored in the 1980s to operate during summer months as a tourist railroad, carrying passengers using historic narrow-gauge steam locomotives.
In 1959, the centennial year of the discovery of gold in Georgetown, the Georgetown Loop Historic Mining & Railroad Park was formed by the Colorado Historical Society. The Colorado Historical Society’s chairman negotiated a donation of mining claims and mills, and nearly 100 acres of land. Rail line construction began in 1973 with track and ties donated by the Union Pacific Railroad.
The four-mile segment opened on March 10, 1884 and is a restored segment at the upper end of the historic Colorado Central main line up Clear Creek Canyon west of Golden. It climbs approximately 640 feet between the two towns. The longer main line up the canyon was constructed in the wake of the Colorado Gold Rush and was used extensively during the silver boom that followed in the 1880s to haul the lucrative silver ore traffic down from the mines at Silver Plume. The Loop portion of the line was the crowning segment of the line at the top of the gorge and features a 95-foot high trestle. The entire line, including the Loop, was dismantled in 1939, but interest in restoration of the Loop segment as a tourist attraction in the 1970s led to the construction of a new high bridge and the refurbishment of the segment, which reopened in 1984.
The train ride includes an optional walking tour of the Lebanon Silver Mine, located at the halfway point on the railroad. Visitor walk 500 feet into a mine tunnel bored in the 1870s while guides point out the rich veins of silver and the history of the mine.
Passengers board the train at depots located in either Silver Plume or Georgetown. (Wikipedia)

Oktoberfest is a 16–18 day festival held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, running from late September to the first weekend in October. It is one of the most famous events in Germany and is the world's largest fair, with more than 5 million people attending every year. The Oktoberfest is an important part of Bavarian culture, having been held since 1810. Other cities across the world also hold Oktoberfest celebrations, modeled after the Munich event.

De Loop is een bovengrondse spoorlijn op een viaduct boven de straten van Chicago, gebouwd tussen 1895 en 1897. De wijk binnen deze ringlijn, het zakencentrum van Chicago, wordt ook wel aangeduid als de Loop.
De lijn volgt een cirkel over Wells Street, Lake Street, Van Buren Street en Wabash Avenue. Er zijn negen bovengrondse stations aan de Loop. Vijf van de acht metrolijnen van Chicago maken van de Loop gebruik.

The Loop (historically Union Loop) is the two mile circuit of elevated railroad that forms the hub of the 'L' rapid transit system in Chicago, Illinois. The Loop is so named because the railroad loops around a rectangle formed by Lake Street (north side), Wabash Avenue (east), Van Buren Street (south), and Wells Street (west). The surrounding area is also known as The Loop community area. Numerous accounts assert that the use of this term predates the elevated railroad, deriving from the multiple cable car turntables, or loops, that terminated in the district, and especially those of two lines that shared a loop, constructed in 1882, bounded by Madison, Wabash, State, and Lake.
However, after extensive research of the issue, transportation historian Bruce Moffat concluded that "the Loop" was not used as a proper noun until after Charles Yerkes' 1895–97 construction of the elevated hub.

After the westbound shuttle has dropped off the last of its passengers in Bay Head, the train heads through the iconic Bay Head Loop before yarding their train. The loop was constructed in the late 1800s in order to be able to turn trains in Bay Head, as there were no cab cars back then. GP40PH-2 4101 is no stranger to the loop, after rounding it hundreds of times as CNJ GP40P 3672.

LMS Ivatt Class 2MT 2-6-2 No 41241 and LMS Class 4F 0-6-0 No 43924 steam slowly through the loop at Damens with the 12.20 from Keighley.
28th May 2018. Usually I will go and stand against the wall on the far right in the picture where you can get a good view of anything coming out of Keighley. However I wanted something different and as the sun was in the right location I walked down the path and under the bridge to get a photograph from the other side.
In the picture you can see BR 4F 0-6-0 No.43924 running the Keighley loop before it reverses into Keighley Station to collect her coaches for the last train of the day to Oxenhope. Although No.43924 has BR numbering she was built at Derby Works in 1920 by the Midland Railway. She is only one of four Fowler Midland Big Goods design of her Class in preservation; and while No.43924 was built under the auspices of the Midland Railway. The other three engines in preservation where built by the London Midland Scottish Railway.
