Rainelle Mine Run H801 exits the bottom loop at Claypool with the last 37 Clearco’s for Meadow Creek. Evident in this photograph, the NF&G’s Claypool Loops feature grades up to 3.8% and curves as sharp as 19.3 degrees.
We experience this Mystery in three ways: as Silence, as Word, and as Understanding. Word, in this sense, refers to all there is, since we experience it as somehow directed at us: it “speaks to us.” Word has its origin in Silence. Unless silence “comes to word,” our utterance is mere chitchat. Word aims at understanding. Understanding, in turn, is that dynamic process in which we listen so deeply to the Word that it takes hold of us and leads us back to its source—to Silence. The Cappadocian Fathers of the fourth century referred to this dynamic process as “the circle dance of the Blessed Trinity.”

Willow City Loop is a popular area for wildflower viewing in the spring, near Fredericksburg, TX. Fujifilm X-A1 and XF35/1.4R. Happy Fence Friday.
The main event, bringing out the crowds from far afield, was the testing of the snowploughs held in Fairwater Yard with two tractors. There was a bit of a delay in departure apparently due to not being able to access one of the ploughs at the eastern end and they ended up going up to Weston Super Mare rather than reversing at Highbridge Loop.
On their return journey, 37601 'Perseus' and 37419 'Carl Haviland 1954 - 2012' approaches Creech St Michael with ploughs ADB965223 and ADB965235 working the 7Z21 11.22 departure. This was 31 minutes late here, which, had it been on time, would have resulted in a duller shot. 5/2/2023
Scolty Tower. Sits at the top of Scolty Hill, near Banchory, Scotland. It's a couple of miles on a nice looped walk though a reasonable incline in places and there is a super panoramic view from the top. Shot taken late afternoon in late October when we had been blessed with very spectacular skies most nights during our stay. The skies were even more remarkable after we had made the descent!

Another cute find in my garden, although frustratingly I didn't get this looping looper moth caterpillar sharp! It has such a distinctive-looking, and cute, face. Any ideas on ID much appreciated... as always I've looked at loads of images online and drawn a blank!
Thanks to curiosity thrills for the possible ID of brimstone moth caterpillar.

Making the turn out of Old Fort headed up the mountain, 745 heads Westbound towards Asheville via the loops
I keep the horses' riding tack—bridle, bit, and reins—hung on brackets on the wall of the little hay barn, one set for Spirit and one for Andy. To keep the long reins from drooping down to the floor, where they would be imperiled by passing goat hooves and cat paws, I loop the lower end of the reins up over the mounting bracket, creating the droplet shapes shown here, caught in the morning light spilling through the barn door.

Santa Fe 5581 leads a well powered eastbound train through the world famous "Tehachapi Loop" at Walong, California.
From Wikipedia: "The Tehachapi Loop is a 3,779-foot-long (0.72 mi; 1.15 km) spiral, or helix, on the Union Pacific Railroad Mojave Subdivision through Tehachapi Pass, of the Tehachapi Mountains in Kern County, south-central California. The line connects Bakersfield and the San Joaquin Valley to Mojave in the Mojave Desert.
Rising at a steady two-percent grade, the track gains 77 feet (23 m) in elevation and makes a 1,210-foot-diameter (370 m) circle. Any train that is more than 3,800 feet (1,200 m) long — about 56 boxcars — passes over itself going around the loop. At the bottom of the loop, the track passes through Tunnel 9, the ninth tunnel built as the railroad was extended from Bakersfield."

A short eastbound manifest traverses the huge curved basallt fill bridging the gap between the western and eastern slopes of Lynch Coulee, in central Washington State. This track alignment is much better known and described as the 'Trinidad loop'.
This fill was constructed by the Great Northern in 1902 as part of a project to ease some of the tighter curves in the area, and replace a curved wooden trestle further south down the coulee. While some of the more sinuous trackage to the east was replaced, the ten degree curve over the fill remains a permanent speed restriction to this day. This track is part of the twelve mile stretch of 1% eastward grade up Trinidad Hill that begins at MP 1633 of BNSF's Columbia River Subdivision.
If this were the 1990's, I could assume the short manifest train of three bay grain hoppers and two bay covered hoppers separated by a few LPG tanks was the lowly #600 from Everett to Spokane. Today I'm not so sure. Either way, I was pleased to find anything rolling during daylight hours on the now sparsely used ex-GN mainline across Washington State.
