There was nothing quite like the SP on Tehachapi. Plenty of scarlet and grey on this train as they look around themselves at Walong as they climb towards the summit at Tehachapi. Growing up in Southern California I visited here many times even after first moving to Colorado and then Alaska I always long for my next visit.
Built in 1897, this First Renaissance Revival-style structure was designed by Alfred M. Hedley as one of the original nine stations on the Union Loop in Downtown Chicago, which was constructed to allow seamless operations and turn-arounds by the various elevated rapid transit lines that were operating in the city at the time. The station features the only restored original station house on the Loop, with the other stations having been significantly altered or closed and consolidated during the 20th Century and early 21st Century. The station houses are clad in metal sheeting with fluted corinthian pilasters, decorative window trim, one-over-one double-hung windows, decorative interior woodwork, and cornices with dentils, and sit above an open mezzanine, with metal canopies at the platforms lining the tracks. The station was restored in 1985-1988 and 2016-2018, and today is the best-preserved historic rapid transit station in Downtown Chicago.
CPKC's Fording River Sub is a 33 mile-long branch line serving 4 coal mines on the west side of Crowsnest Pass. The line was built in the early 1970's and features a steady stream of coal trains carrying Canadian carbon to the Pacific for export.
Here, at the far northern end of the line, CP 9354 slowly & steadily loads a coal train at the EVR Fording River Mine. The train is sized to match the length of the loading loop almost exactly, as the DPU has cleared the switch only a few car lengths before the head-end completes its circuit through the load-out.
Sharp eyes will note that's a spring switch, lined to the right for the inbound train but posing no issue for the outbound train to run through the switch against the points.

Multiple Saguaro cacti in the desert park in the greater Phoenix valley. These are massive in size when you compare them to the two hikers in the photo.

Seen here approaching Rushey Sidings LC.
37612 was the trailing loco.
It was good to meet up with Gary Sansom and have a natter.
Recently popped to the Mach Loop to photograph military aircraft that fly through. Took this while it was quiet.

Someone looped this wire back at a break in the fence. To the right of the fence post is an animal trail frequented by deer, feral cats and occasional runaway chickens.
It's a single quick grab shot, not a multiple or composite image.
Not really a "loop-de-loop" either... as two birds flying one way and two the other.
Good day at the Mach Loop. Not much in the way of aircraft but the weather was glorious! These were taken on Cad East but next time I'll be on Cad West even tho the light is more challenging.
Toothed belts /timing belts are available in different sizes even in loops (which sometimes can be of corrrect length for tinkering).
A nice lil single spun up from a sample of "Ribbon Dance". I think this will make a fantastic headband!

With a few more reverse curves to go, the AFT will soon be traversing the famous Techachapi Loop as the train makes its way south over the pass. Visible above the smoke plume is the top level of the loop itself.
