Nearly stalling, G&E Shifter R202 crawls across the timber supports of the WV Hwy 20 girder bridge at walking speed, fighting the steep 2.2% grade from Peaser Jct to Quinwood Tunnel.

The seasoned C&O crew sure put this pair of “lightning bolts” through their paces getting their second cut of 28 loads from Green Valley up the mountain on the rusted, worn out jointed rail of the former Hominy Creek sub of the NF&G. What a show!

and a beautiful kapliczka (sorry, no English name for that .-)

This is at the entrance of one of the parks in Jackson. The park is huge, however I wasn't able to go deep into it because of the freezing temperature. I will probably go back when the weather permits.

L’Invitation au Voyage

Mon enfant, ma sœur,

Songe à la douceur

D’aller là-bas vivre ensemble !

Aimer à loisir,

Aimer et mourir

Au pays qui te ressemble !

Les soleils mouillés

De ces ciels brouillés

Pour mon esprit ont les charmes

Si mystérieux

De tes traîtres yeux,

Brillant à travers leurs larmes.

Là, tout n’est qu’ordre et beauté,

Luxe, calme et volupté.

Des meubles luisants,

Polis par les ans,

Décoreraient notre chambre ;

Les plus rares fleurs

Mêlant leurs odeurs

Aux vagues senteurs de l’ambre,

Les riches plafonds,

Les miroirs profonds,

La splendeur orientale,

Tout y parlerait

À l’âme en secret

Sa douce langue natale.

Là, tout n’est qu’ordre et beauté,

Luxe, calme et volupté.

Vois sur ces canaux

Dormir ces vaisseaux

Dont l’humeur est vagabonde ;

C’est pour assouvir

Ton moindre désir

Qu’ils viennent du bout du monde.

– Les soleils couchants

Revêtent les champs,

Les canaux, la ville entière,

D’hyacinthe et d’or ;

Le monde s’endort

Dans une chaude lumière.

Là, tout n’est qu’ordre et beauté,

Luxe, calme et volupté.

I couldn't resist the purples 'n pinks... Made the scene look somewhat magical ;)

It's not all doom and gloom
