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.

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.
EWS Class 60 60051 enters the Down Loop at Bromsgrove for Stoke Works Junction where it wait for a path to continue to Droitwich Spa and then to Worcester where it would run round the train of loaded MEA wagons. The 6Z42 (as required) train of grit stone from Croft would then continue via Stourbridge Junction to Brierley Hill.
This image is included in a trio of images taken from Garrington's Bridge at the south end of Bromsgrove to illustrate the site prior to the proposed construction work being approved for the new station. The other two images posted either side show the work in progress as at January 2015.

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.

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.

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.
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.

Class 40 40104 was recorded at Agecroft Junction waiting for a path to continue north towards Bolton.
Members of the Freightmaster Forum have advised me that this could well have been a T53 Trip working from Ashburys. My thanks to them for the added clarification.
D304 was delivered in November 1960 and completed over 24 years of service prior to withdrawal in January 1985. It was scrapped at Crewe Works in May 1988.

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)
