Railroad Train Orders

Take a little walk to the edge of town
And go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires
In the humming wires
You know ya never coming backt

I had an epic road trip for work today. I only managed to stop a couple of times on the way home - this was taken near Oatlands, central Tasmania. The clouds were really doing some amazing things and needed to be photographed. I've photographed this tree before - it owns the hillside and keeps an eye out on the surrounding farmland.

A TP&W westbound gets orders at Gilman, Illinois back in 1982.
It was a Kodachrome 25 day. The perfect film, for use under perfect conditions.
A tale by the Brothers Grimm:
A king has three sons: the eldest and the middle one are brave and strong, but the youngest is gullible and naïve, so he is called Simpleton. One day, the king casts three feathers into the air, and when they land, each of his children should follow to see where it leads. Simpleton discovers the feather has landed in a lake or pond where a toad lives that speaks in rhyme.
The king asks for marvellous gifts - impossibly difficult to find, or make - for his sons to show him: a carpet, made by the finest craftsmanship and a ring of extraordinary splendour as a second gift. Simpleton manages to produce the items in front on his father, to the jealousy of his older brothers, who are against the idea that he should inherit the kingdom.
For a final task, the king asks for the princes to bring a woman or bride that can do acrobatics and pirouettes so fantastical that they can pass through a very small ring. Simpleton presents his case to the talking toad, who orders another frog of his pond to embark into a carriage pulled by mice and to present themselves in court. When the carriage arrives, out comes a beautiful princess, who performs the impossible feat and earns the hand of Simpleton and the kingdom.

A throwback to 2015 and a group of snappers scramble for position at Barnetby station just 3 months before the signals were decommissioned, in an attempt to bag a few final shots from this one-time semaphore mecca.
The secondary subject on this occasion is DB Cargo Shed 66132, seen here working an iron ore empties from Scunthorpe back to Immingham Dock to collect yet another load for the hungry steelworks' blast furnaces.
Plenty of heat-haze coming off the loco which, despite the box wagons being empty, still looks like it's putting in a shift.

The engineer is about to snag his train orders from the fork at 5th Street as the train crosses over the C&NW main line.
She has been given orders she must depart tomorrow as the army must march asp to stop the advancing enemy. She is unsure as to what will happen or even if she will return and she needs a moment by herself to take in the castle's great hall. She wished to carry this memory when she may need to reflect on where her heart lies. She wanders about quietly and solemnly hoping that she will return but alas, the enemy is very well trained and their aim is to take the forest by force. She shakes herself and remembers what her task is to fulfil and she hurries to the armoury to ensure her weapons are sharp and required for the enemy at hand.
Yup, I just got one of my orders in today, so I now have 12 soldiers. I have about 20 more soldiers and 6 jeeps coming in the mail.
Each one is equipped with 4 Brickarms items.
Join me in Scotland...
Its hard to reconcile the beauty of this stunning valley with the tragic events that took place in 1692. Clan MacDonald of Glencoe had delayed pledging allegiance to the new monarchs, William III and Mary II, missing the deadline set by the government. Under orders, soldiers from Clan Campbell, who had been staying with the MacDonalds as guests, attacked them in the early hours of a snowy February morning. Many MacDonald men, women, and children were killed, while others fled into the harsh winter, where some perished from exposure. The massacre left a deep scar in Highland memory, symbolizing betrayal and the harshness of political conflicts in Scotland's past.
Moving right along... this place is breathtaking. It speaks in ancient whispers, of rugged grandeur, towering mountains and cascading falls. It is a must if you visit the Scottish Highlands
they have a moment. the urn waits. the square on both sides continues without them. stall 72, jemaa el-fna — a conversation that will be interrupted shortly, as all conversations here are.
The Brandenburg Gate (German: Brandenburger Tor is an 18th-century neoclassical monument in Berlin, built on the orders of Prussian king Frederick William II after restoring the Orangist power by suppressing the Dutch popular unrest. One of the best-known landmarks of Germany, it was built on the site of a former city gate that marked the start of the road from Berlin to the town of Brandenburg an der Havel, which used to be the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg.
It is located in the western part of the city centre of Berlin within Mitte, at the junction of Unter den Linden and Ebertstraße, immediately west of the Pariser Platz. One block to the north stands the Reichstag building, which houses the German parliament (Bundestag). The gate is the monumental entry to Unter den Linden, a boulevard of linden trees which led directly to the royal City Palace of the Prussian monarchs.
Throughout its existence, the Brandenburg Gate was often a site for major historical events and is today considered not only as a symbol of the tumultuous histories of Germany and Europe, but also of European unity and peace.
Attention, troopers! This is Admiral Tarkin with new orders. The chancellor has voiced his concern over the new threats arising in the Dathomir system. A malicious group known as Night Sisters has repeatedly interfered with our military expeditions. Reports show that this group and its members utilize unordinary weaponry and something that, in lack of a better expression, could be described as a sorcery. While you are familiar with the dubious ways of the Jedi already, their abilities might be even more absurd. In consensus with the chancellor, my research team and I have decided that a live subject is needed for further research into this matter. Your mission is to acquire a suitable subject in an assault on one of the Night Sister's lairs on Dathomir. The Jedi are not to be informed of this assignment and will have no part in this operation. I will personally lead the attack. Our assault will be swift and precise. Failure is unacceptable.

Hey there! Welcome to the Dathomir Collaboration! I'm so excited to kick things off today with part one. My part depicts the mission briefing in the hangar of a Venator Class Star Destroyer. A lot of inspiration for the hangar was taken from h2brick's MOC, and obviously, Venator hangars themselves. Speaking of inspiration, the AT-RT is pretty much just a combination of multiple different custom AT-RTs I've seen. Mainly, MClegoboy !. His AT-RT. I would credit the others, but I can't remember their names, and can't find the posts anymore. This thing is certainly rough around the edges. But I had fun trying some new techniques, and in the end, I'm happy with it.
Get excited! Part 2 comes out Thursday, September 3rd!

After opening prematurely, Texas saw a dramatic increase in COVID-19 cases. So the governor ordered wearing masks in public, as these photographers are doing.
Wishing you all a happy 4th of July.
Paducah & Louisville LG1 crawls through Millwood right before sunset. They are in the middle of an almost-constant 10mph slow order from Leitchfield.
CN L542 pauses on the Fergus Spur just outside FloChem while the conductor and trainee meet with the yard foreman to discuss spotting the inbound cars. Their 15 minute break allowed plenty of time for a farmer to finish plowing his driveway which crosses both the Fergus Spur main track and the FloChem siding. Shortly, 4732 will cut off from it's train and run ahead to the switch for the crew to sweep it out and start their work.
