Tulameen is a small community in southwestern British Columbia on Otter Lake. The small town is the second place after the steep grades of the Coquihalla Canyon and Pass. A coal mine in the area was useful to rail company operations and the town was a regular stopping place for taking on coal and water during the steam era. The abandoned rail bed on the right side of the lake is a hiking, biking, and horse-riding trail known as the Trans Canada Trail or TCT.

A dark-painted Westland Lysander in flight with its boarding ladder still attached, hinting at its role in secret WWII night missions. These aircraft carried agents and supplies into occupied Europe under the cover of darkness. The ladder detail reminds us of the daring operations and ingenuity required for these clandestine flights.

A gang of Wolfpack bandits try to raid the local wizard with one of them distracting him while the others go down the chimney. Operation "Chimney Sweep" did not go as planned...
An entry for Bandit's Raid over at the CC.
Note: I decided to keep the non Photoshopped background because I thought it added depth.
Operation Barbarossa started on June 22nd, 1941, with the Germans rapidly invading the Soviet Union and decimating Soviet forces in virtually every battle. Hitler's plan was to conquer Eastern Europe for future German colonization called "Lebensraum". Ukraine was especially desired since at the time it was the breadbasket of Europe. When the Germans were conquering the Soviet Union, the Ukrainians and other peoples welcomed them as heroes because of the fact they "freed" them from communist oppression. The Holodomor was fresh in the average Ukrainians memory which was an artificial famine that killed millions and they were still resentful towards Stalin.
Two groups that wanted to take advantage of this moment was the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) which was into Italian fascism, was led by Andriy Melnik and the younger more violent OUN-B, was National Socialist which was led by Stepan Bandera. They originally existed because they were angry that Poland was "occupying" the province of Galicia which is claimed by both Poles and Ukrainians (even to this day).
However, the Ukrainians would learn that the Nazis were replacing one form of oppression with another. Hitler hated Slavic peoples and wanted them enslaved, "transferred" (possibly to Siberia) or at worst exterminated. When the OUN declared an independent Ukrainian state, that was shut down as quickly as possible. The Nazis committed atrocities against the Ukrainians which soon led to the growth of more partisan groups and led to some joining the Soviet army by the time they started "liberating" it from the Nazis.
In a last ditch effort, the Nazis freed imprisoned Ukrainian nationalist leader, Stepan Bandera to inspire the Ukrainians but that ultimately failed. Even during his imprisonment all the OUN-B did was mass murder Poles in the provinces of Galicia and Volhynia. Today he's seen as a controversial figure as he is popular in Western Ukraine which is full of Catholic Ukrainians and hated in Eastern Ukraine which is full of Orthodox Russians.
Rio Grande Heritage SD70ACe No. 1989 leads UP's SSCSC-28 on the former D&RGW through the Jordan Narrows east of Riverton, Utah on Oct. 28, 2006. The train ran east between Salt Lake City and Provo, returning west to Salt Lake City with the Southern Pacific Heritage SD70ACe, No. 1996 on the point.
The rain lashed down in thick sheets over Glen Etive, turning the winding Skyfall road into a silver ribbon of watery steel. Mist clung low to the heathered hills, and thunder rumbled like distant artillery fire. A lone figure waddled through the storm, trench coat flapping, umbrella hopelessly inverted.
Secret Agent P — the penguin with a license to chill — was on a mission.
He adjusted his tiny earpiece, which squawked unintelligibly before going silent. The enemy transmission had gone dead just after he’d intercepted the scrambled message: "Package en route. Eyes open. Danger cold-blooded."
P narrowed his beady eyes.
Just then, the moan of an approaching engine cut through the rain. A sleek, aggressive Mazda SUV tore around the bend, tires slicing the slick tarmac like a scalpel. Its gunmetal paint glistened. A badge gleamed on the side: MI6.
With a screech, the SUV skidded to a halt beside him. The tinted window slid down.
Inside, Commander James Bond 007 looked unfazed by the weather, dark suit immaculate, tie perfectly knotted.
"Need a lift, Agent P?" he asked coolly.
The penguin didn’t answer. He just hopped onto the running board and slid smoothly into the passenger seat, water dripping off his feathers like oil off a seal.
Bond glanced at him. "I trust you're armed."
P tapped his flipper to his custom flipper-gun. Bond gave a curt nod and floored it.
As the SUV thundered along the valley road, gun barrels emerged from the front grill, and the dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree.
"Expecting trouble?" P asked in his gravelly Scottish accent.
Bond smirked. "Trouble’s already here."
A muffled cough echoed from the rear.
From the boot.
Bond sighed. "Ignore that."
Another loud sneeze followed, then a metallic thunk. The boot popped slightly, and a head emerged. Judi Dench, in a slightly damp Superman costume, complete with cape, sniffled.
"Bond, you idiot, you hit a pothole the size of Inverness!" she croaked, nose red, mascara slightly smeared. "I told you the cape wasn’t waterproof!"
Agent P turned, blinked once, then twice. "Why is she dressed like Superman?"
"Charity event," Bond muttered.
Judi coughed violently. "Charity can wait! You two better focus — the Cold-Blood Syndicate is already here."
Sure enough, headlights flared in the distance. Black Land Rovers sped through the mist behind them, their hoods painted with cobra sigils.
Machine guns chattered.
P leaned out the window and fired a tiny rocket launcher from under his wing. One Land Rover exploded in a spectacular fireball.
Bond hit a red button. The SUV's rear seat ejected, launching a decoy penguin drone dressed in a tuxedo skyward. It twirled through the air, attracting enemy fire before detonating in a burst of confetti and rubber fish.
Judi sighed. "I’m getting too old for this nonsense."
Bond didn’t answer. He was too busy flooring the gas and muttering, “Remind me never to share a car with a penguin again.”
Agent P just winked at Judi. “You’d look better in a Batgirl costume anyway.”
Lightning split the sky. The battle had just begun.
Mission Status: Classified.
Agent P: Active.
Rain: Unrelenting.

The Gulf War (2 August 1990 – 28 February 1991), codenamed Operation Desert Storm (January 17, 1991– February 28, 1991) commonly referred to as simply the Gulf War, was a war waged by a U.N.-authorized coalition force from 34 nations led by the United States, against Iraq in response to Iraq's invasion and annexation of Kuwait. -Wikipedia

A big hornet nest on the tall trees has been destroyed. Six people from Public Defense Department (JPA) called upon by the villagers came with a long prop, cotton waste and gasoline. About 15 minutes later, they start the flame and bring it up to burn the nest. Then, a colony of hornet (Giant Wasps) has turned to ash.
Can you imagine what the lost to the nature and macro lovers like us !

The massive Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica is seen out the window of NASA's DC-8 research aircraft as it flies at an altitude of 1,500 feet, Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2009. This was the seventh science flight of NASA?s Operation Ice Bridge airborne Earth science mission to study Antarctic ice sheets, sea ice, and ice shelves. The glacier is one of the primary targets of the mission because of the rapid rate at which it is losing ice to the sea. Photo Credit: (NASA/Jane Peterson)

It's that time of the year again when we are preparing the Warehouse to receive volunteers to help put together shoe boxes for children around the world in less fortunate countries.
I am proud to be working on Staff for my 3rd year.
A set of EMD's escaped from the Iron Range to power rock trains for the CN. The CN is busy adding about 4 miles of double track to the old EJ&E between Sutton and Spaulding. Here is O49081 getting the ballast unloaded using older conveyor belt technology and manual operation (neat to watch it unload). This once was a sleepy belt loop around Chicago for the EJ&E, now is a main artery for the CN. Power 6254,405,6256, too bad the sun was not my friend here.
Following Operation Crayfish, surveillance team from the Combined Anti-Terrorism Task Force continued to surveil a courier of a known arms dealer.
The task force also receive intelligence that the courier would be meeting a financier travelling on a fishing yacht named Blue Moon. This intelligence was confirmed as the surveillance team followed the courier to a dock where he boarded a fishing boat and traveled out to sea. The courier was also seen boarding the yacht and met with the financier.
To be continued...
A special operations forces team is tasked to intercept a convoy heading to a terrorist cell. The convoy is carrying a crate containing VX nerve gas. The team's objective is to ambush the convoy and retrieve the crate of VX gas.
After recovering the VX gas, the team was extracted by two HH-60 helicopters
Final part of Operation Alcatraz.
Metra train 623 uses the 2016 Operation North Pole equipment as it pauses to let off passengers at Des Plaines station on December 9th.
The next day, the train will carry 70+ children who have life-threatening illnesses and their family members on a train ride with Santa as part of a day long holiday experience for the kids.
After the event, Union Pacific officials make every effort to keep the five car train intact for several weeks.
