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.
Dublin Bus Alexander RH/Leyland Olympian RH23 takes a quick breather at the 123 Terminus in Kilnamanagh Road,Walkinstown. She was the principle treelooper from D635 until late 2014/early 2015 when ex Phibsboro AV144 too over.
New in 1990, she was unique in having ad frames at each side of her number display, retained into tree looping duties.

In some really good light I was able to capture 66084 being re-routed via Tondu due to engineering work on the main South Wales line on Sunday 18th January 2015, working the 6O32 Margam to Llanwern Sidings. The train has joined the Maesteg line to Bridgend having competed the run around manouvre on the the Garw loop on the right, a short section of track used as the relief line for diverted freight along the Maesteg line to the South Wales main line at Bridgend or along the Ogmore Extension line to Margam. It is also occasionally used for the "Taffy Tug" passenger excursion train.
The Garw line was formerly an important line serving four major collieries within the Garw Valley, between them producing nearly 4000 tons of coal each day. Sadly, the last mine, Ocean Colliery, closed in 1985 when the line fell into disuse. The line had a reprieve in the 1990's when it was reopened for freight services to carry screened coal from tips in the valley as part of a land reclamation scheme and the last train ran on March 6 1997. It is worth looking at Stuart Warr's photostream to see how it looked not that long ago - www.flickr.com/photos/123410911@N03/16245923515/in/faves-...
Fortunately the once busy signal box still survives for now. According to one website I have seen it is reported that it will be closed in 2015. However, several fellow photographers at Tondu advised me that the box will be one of the last to close in South Wales - let's hope that is correct. A GWR box dating back to 1894 it is a GW3 design and had 63 recorded levers in 1963. I do not believe the box has achieved grade II listed status.

A whole series of loops towered above a group of active regions over a five-days period (July 9-13, 2015). When viewed in extreme ultraviolet light, magnetic field lines above the Sun's surface are revealed by charged particles that spin along the lines and create these loops. They are best observed along the edge of the Sun as they are here. The tallest of the loops reach up about 15 times the diameter of Earth. Credit: Solar Dynamics Observatory, NASA.
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.
English;
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.

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.

Summary: This is a very popular hiking spot with great views of the ocean on clear days, a seasonal waterfall, and a densely wooded canyon. The loop starts out on Temescal Ridge Trail, climbing almost 1,000 feet in the first mile. At the intersection with Temescal Canyon Trail, you can either take a half mile side trip to Skull Rock (staying on the ridge trail) or head down into the deep Temescal Canyon. At the bottom of the canyon, you will cross a bridge with a lovely waterfall. If you are careful, you can do some rock scrambling upstream to see some additional small waterfalls. After crossing the bridge, the trail drops through the canyon at a mild pace, through a pleasantly dense wooded area.
If you skipped the ridge trail, and just walked up the canyon and back, this would be a great easy 2 mile family hike.

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)
