Abandoned school on Stage Road, a half-mile from the historic Hat Creek Stagecoach Station, northeast of Lusk, Wyoming in Niobrara County.
Like much of my Spring road trip, had to shoot this on a stormy day with high winds. Glad the crummy light didn't discourage me from taking it, since I like the sky and I think the bleak light fits the subject.

301 Palmer Avenue (1910-1911): In 1875, Charles Horance Lusk, a physician and teacher, owned the property and later constructed the building on the property in 1910. Dr Lusk occupied the house until his death in 1920 and Mrs. Lusk lived in the house until 1923 when Miss Edith M. Hutchinson acquired the property and rented it to various tenants.
Edwardian era. Simplification of late Victorian architecture. Notable features include the return eaves, an L-shaped plan, and the impressive wraparound verandah highlighted by Doric columns.
The Chinook winds were blowing, warming up the foothills and Rockies west of Calgary. But with gusts predicted at up to 60 km/hr, one had to be careful where to hike. Although the views at the top were beautiful, it wasn't a pretty hike overall, mainly bushwhacking through clearcuts. We walked 5.8 km's return distance, gaining 551 m's in elevation overall, taking 3 hours overall to do so.

During the Ice Age, Canada went through four major glaciations. The last, the Wisconsin Glaciation, saw ice forming over almost all of Canada and as far as the state of Wisconsin in the United States. When the Wisconsin Glacier melted about 12,500 years ago, water trapped under the melting glacier was forced into cracks in the rocks. The marble of Lusk Cave eroded more quickly than surrounding rocks, causing a series of tunnels to form. Since then, the Lusk Stream has continued to shape the cave.
Lusk Cave is in the Philippe Lake area, about five kilometres from Parent Beach. It is an easy hike along trails dotted with interpretation panels. The 10-kilometre round trip takes about four hours to walk.

Just outside Lusk Wyo heading south-east a loaded coal train headed for the U.P connection .This was a great trip with my two boys on the powder river line.today this is all double track
The famous water tank was yet to be adopted and restored by the town, when a C&NW eastbound freight passed at about 1720 with 35 cars + caboose behind three rebuilt GP9 (4309-4305-4507.) This was likely the freight between Casper, Wyo., and Chadron, Nebr., trundling along at a delicate speed on extremely questionable track (see next image!)
Passing through Wyoming in June brings a chance of thunderstorms with it, and on this day it was not different.
A real suprise is the NS B23-7 tucked in between the lead Dash9-44CW and UP SD60M's. To say I was shocked to find that unit in that service in that location was an understatement!
Like most, I had to chuckle. I lived in Louisville, KY at the time. I go all the way out to Wyoming and see what I could have seen a few minutes from my home.
St. Luke's Anglican Church (1873) in Luskville, Quebec, Canada.
It was erected in 1873 and at one time, it was known as "the beacon on the hill".
Luskville was named after Joseph Lusk (1783-1879) who immigrated from Ireland. He was married to Esther (Balmer) Lusk, and both are buried in St. Luke's cemetery.
C.F. Lusk and Sons Dry Goods Store, 203 South Main Street, Albany, Illinois. This building once house C.F. Lusk & Sons dry goods store. The town's newspaper, The Review, also was found in this building when it was constructed in 1899.
This is the house where George Lusk lived. He was the head of the Whitechapel Vigilance Committee during the Ripper scare, & on October 16 1888, received the From Hell letter along with a piece of kidney which was supposed to have been taken from Catherine Eddowes.

Aclass 015 roaring pass Rush/Lusk with a Friday morning empty Tara on Friday 28th April 1989, and I notice it's 12 wagons, back in Aclass days 11 wagons was the max permitted, although this is an empty train, probably bringing a wagon back to be added to the other set, the lines through Rush/Lusk were completely relayed in July 1989 and that up siding on the left was disconnected and removed, 3 years later in this photo the siding is gone www.flickr.com/photos/hgricer/46787780981/in/dateposted-f...
The effect of shooting with polarizing filter through a polarized window. I have no idea why this rainbow effect happens, as best I can tell it has something to do with...uh...science, I guess. All's I know is I like it.
Give it a try the next time you're on a plane, it's a nice way to pass the time. Works shooting through a lot of car windows too.
Finally, EXPLORED! This is definitely one of my favorite photos I've ever taken, and it's nice to see it getting the recognition it deserves at last :)
Big, flat, desolate Wyoming. That's Lusk in the distance and State highway 20 paralleling the railroad. CNW 8617 is east bound and heading or a meet with two west bound empties. Work is progressing on the road bed for a second track.
