The Amphitheatre of Mérida (Spanish: Anfiteatro de Mérida) is a ruined Roman amphitheatre situated in the Roman colony of Emerita Augusta, present-day Mérida, in Spain.
The amphitheatre itself was completed in 8 BC.
It is part of the Archaeological Ensemble of Mérida, which is one of the largest and most extensive archaeological sites in Spain. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1993.
Abastecía a la ciudad romana de Emérita Augusta, capital de la provincia Lusitania en el Imperio Romano en el siglo I, perdurando su uso durante varios siglos.
Declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en 1993
Dakota, Missouri Valley & Western’s “wayfreight” works southbound at Merida, North Dakota, over the railroad’s Missouri Valley Subdivision on August 28, 2018. The train is led by DMVW No. 6911, a former Canadian National SD40 built in December 1969, and since rebuilt and labeled a SD40-3.
Even with a bad traction motor on the lead engine, these four cowls have no problem bringing the seven-car Wayfreight and a loaded Spiritwood coal trainover the hill at Merida. What a sight and sound to see these old Canadian motors hauling tonnage across the Northern Plains!
The DMVW Spiritwood coal train/Wayfreight makes its way onto the horseshoe curve at Merida behind four cowls, two SD50Fs and two SD60Fs. Within a few minutes, the train will reemerge on the track in the foreground. The smokestacks of the Coal Creek Station, which I visited earlier that morning, are visible in the distance.
