Or, should we find the old country doctor? Hm. I wonder how Dr. Welby's doing these days

They are all very worried about Benny at Ground Control. Could be nothing, but better activate all the emergency procedures. Those also include a rescue expedition to Outpost Alpha. Someone is getting ready for the voyage. Quick, quick! Every minute is precious!
As a photographer doing a 100 strangers project, the normal procedure is that the subject is the one who is surprised by your invitation. Here’s a new twist.
Charles is a drummer in a band named Your Favorite Enemies. YFE was nominated for the Juno for the Canadian Rock Album of the year in 2015. YFE's members are career musicians with a number of album's out, yet, he knocked at my door selling the band’s CDs. Not your idea of Rock and Roll life, is it? Still, I was the one taken by surprise and I was impressed by what he told me.
He explained that the band is installed since 2009 in a Catholic Church built in the 50’s in the town of Drummondville, Québec. They have launched their music label, set-up a full studio for both sound and video recordings. They are equipped to print their vinyl LPs and promotional T-shirts. About 20 persons work for them. Lacking mainstream radio support, they have sold many thousands of CDs via their on-line store, at their shows and by selling door to door personally reaching new fans one by one.
I have to admit I’m a slouch, and a bit of a paradox, when it comes to selling my art. I was a successful sales rep for a lighting distributor for years but don’t have much of clue what to do when its time to market my personal artistic production. I was impressed by Charles’ modesty and quiet determination. I bought both CD’s he was offering.
I then asked him if he could spare a few minutes so I could take a photo of him. I like to show the context of my encounters but didn’t see how I could get a decent shot of him standing counter-lit in the doorway of our small vestibule. Instead, I asked him he we could go downstairs in my little basement art studio. Charles, whose stage name is Moose, kindly accepted to become my stranger # 80.
You’ll find Your Favorite Enemies’ music on Spotify, YouTube, I-Tunes and the like. Here is a link to the band’s site and a Wikipedia article about them.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Your_Favorite_Enemies
I wish him and his bandmates durable success.
La procédure normale pour un photographe en voie de réaliser le projet de photographier 100 inconnus au premier contact est que le sujet soit celui qui est surpris par son invitation. Voici une nouvelle tournure.
Charles est batteur dans un groupe nommé Your Favorite Enemies. YFE a été nominé pour le Juno pour l'album Rock canadien de l'année en 2015 .Les membres de YFE sont des musiciens de carrière avec plusieurs albums publiés. Pourtant, il a frappé à ma porte cet après-midi pour vendre des CD du groupe. Pas exactement votre définition d’une vie Rock and Roll j’imagine? J'étais celui pris par surprise et j’ai été impressionné par ce qu'il m'a dit.
Charles m’a expliqué que le groupe est installé depuis 2009 dans une église catholique construite dans les années 50 dans la ville de Drummondville au Québec. Your Favorite Enemies a lancé son label de musique, mis en place un studio complet pour la production et l’enregistrement sonore et vidéo. Les membres du groupe se sont équipées pour imprimer leurs disques vinyles et T-shirts promotionnels. Environ 20 personnes travaillent pour eux. Pour pallier au manque de soutien de la radio grand public, ils ont vendu des milliers de CD par leur boutique en ligne, à leur spectacles et par le porte à porte pour rejoindre personnellement de nouveaux fans un par un.
Je dois admettre que je suis un peu empoté et un genre de paradoxe lorsqu’il s’agit de vendre ma production artistique personnelle. J'ai connu un bon succès comme représentant des ventes pour un distributeur d'éclairage pendant des années, mais ne sais pas trop ce qu'il faut faire quand il s’agit de promouvoir mon travail artistique. J’ai été impressionné par la modestie et la détermination tranquille de Charles. J’ai acheté les deux CD qu'il offrait.
Je lui ai alors demandé s'il pouvait m’accorder quelques minutes pour que je puisse prendre une photo de lui. J’aime bien montrer le contexte de mes rencontres, mais là, je ne voyais pas comment j’aurais pu obtenir un cliché valable de lui à contre-jour dans la porte de notre petit vestibule. Au lieu de cela, je lui ai donc demandé si nous pouvions descendre à mon petit studio d'art du sous-sol. Charles, dont le nom de scène est Moose, a gentiment accepté de devenir mon inconnu # 80.

Every day at 11:00 a ScotRail Class 156 from Mallaig to Glasgow meets with the Jacobite Steam train (also known as the Hogwarts Express) from Fort William to Mallaig at Glenfinnan, the only station between Fort William to Mallaig with two platforms. There is a slight problem however, as the siding is only long enough for 6 coaches, while the Jacobite is 8 coaches long. So how do these trains pass each other?
1. The Jacobite stops at platform 1 just before the level crossing to platform 2.
2. The ScotRail train enters platform 2 and all disembarking passengers have to quickly cross in front of the stream locomotive.
3. The Jacobite pulls ahead just enough to clear the rear switches while still having coaches on the platform.
4. Now the Class 156 can leave for Glasgow.
5. Later, the steam train continues its journey towards Mallaig. In the meantime, its passengers can visit the small museum in the station building and the historic signal box.
This is repeated EVERY DAY at 11. In the summer, when the Jacobite runs twice per day, probably even more often.
This is not my typical Infrared false colors procedure as I prefer the foliage to be golden but due to some who are asking for this mono-foliage version, here it is. Cheers.

My procedure for taking a long exposure is always the same. I look for what I think will be a nice shot, work out the composition and take it as a normal landscape shot. Check the histogram and see if the shot might need a grad or two on, retake it and check the histogram. If everything is okay all I have to do now is work out the correct long exposure, attach the ten stopper, make sure any areas of light leakage are covered and then take the shot. An area that sometimes doesn't get covered is that most ten stop filters come with a warning that they are actually anywhere between nine and a third and ten and two thirds and NOT exactly ten. That can make quite a big difference - 2/3rds of a stop might be several minutes. I tend to add 25% to my B&W ND110 filter. This shot is the 'test' shot for the long exposure that followed. Invariably I prefer the normal shot but sometimes not......

Princess Cassandra knocked on the barred gate of the grand hall, where Earl Oliver von Zwatzbark with his remaining men had locked themselves in. “My lord, there wouldn’t be a chance you could just lay down your arms and end this peacefully? There has already been way too much blood spilt this day.” The answer was short and clear: “GO TO HELL!”. “well, that wasn’t entirely unexpected” she murmured to herself. “Alright Gregor, do what you’re good at!” “Aye M’lady” the druid nodded and his form began to change until had fully transformed into a giant bear. He threw himself at the reinforced timber, acting like a life battering ram. Astonishingly the wood held up to the violence, like it was being protected by an invisible force. “You might as well stop Mr Furnisson.” The princess sighed “Zwarzbark household mage threw up a force field around it. It’s no use on our own.” The druid gave up his bear form “I’m afraid you’re right M’lady. Perhaps we should wait for reinforcements.”
“How are things over here?” William asked. His answer was a cold glare at first, then his sister sighed. “The Earl and his drinking buddies locked themselves up behind a force field. Apparently, they aren’t too keen on surrendering.” “Ah, I see. But don’t you have any mages with you?” Cassandra sighed again “You wouldn’t believe it, one electrocuted himself and the other walked into a crossbow bolt.” William shook his head in disbelief “How can a mage electrocute himself?” “I don’t know, but he managed it alright.” Meanwhile, Roger had walked up to the gate and began studying the gate. “What do you say Roger?” the gnome drew a hand through his hair. “Well, there has indeed been cast a force field in front of the thing, that, alongside the wards and runes worked into it, provide a rather powerful defence.” He grinned “that some proper overkill right there.” “Can you break through it?” “Haven’t got the faintest my lord.” The gnome smiled “but let’s try it anyway!” he gestured towards the other mages. “Come on chaps, let’s set of some fireworks.” Soon after this, the casters stood side by side and bombarded the gate with fire, plasma bolts, moonbeams and other arcane projectiles. This went on for a solid ten minutes before the wood elven druid Elana Goodwind stepped back, ceasing her moonbeams. “It’s no use guys, it’s too strong.” “I’m afraid you’re right love.” Roger said “We might as well try to just break through the three feet thick wall. Or…” “Or what?” Prince William asked “Well my lord, I’ve had a theory with these kind of things. The wizard is holding up a barrier against magic right?” Gregor Furnisson nodded “If we can deliver a strong, mechanical blow, during a magical assault, we might just break through.” He shrugged “Or we could just wait until they run out of food and water.” “Alright, I can where you’re going.” William gestured “You, you, you, you and you. Find an engineer who is capable of doing what he said.” “Err, m’lord” Gregor Furnisson said “I might be able to help you with that one. A friend of mine should be close by and he should be able to do what is required.” “Good man!” William yelled “go get him.” “Aye sir.” The druid quickly changed into a large dog and ran into the halls.
“Err Martin? “Celdric asked “Do you hear that as well?” “Nope, but your ears are better than mine.” “Sounds like a steam engine.” Thirn rolled his with his eyes “Better not be some crazy gnome tryin’ tae squeeze a steam tank through here.”
It wasn’t a steam tank however; it was something a bit smaller (although Thirn was right with the gnome part.) it was instead a gnome piloting a steam powered suit of power armour. He Turned a few levers, making the machine perform a bow. “Good day everyone, the name is Niggle, Niggle McNoscope. After this he switched the levers again, turning his mech to face the barrier. Then he began aiming the two shoulder mounted cannons. “Ready when you are sir!” William glanced towards the casters “Well, carry on then.” They saluted and continued their bombardment, now even more intense then before. Again, the door didn’t give too much of a shit. Then McNoscope brought his cannons to bear with a thunderous noise, aiming at what the inventor believed to be the points where they had placed the crossbar. It seemed that Rogers theory was a correct one, when the smoke cleared, everyone could see the daylight creeping through the two fist-sized holes.
“success!” the gnome cried. Meanwhile, Roger had walked to the timber gates and peeked through one of the holes, ducking almost immediately to doge a crossbow bolt. Fortunately, a nearby Halfling cleric reacted quickly and blocked the projectile with his shield.
“You missed it.” Roger proclaimed in a dry tone. “No matter.” Lady Cassandra said “Try it again, we’ll hit it eventually.” The pilot nodded and adjusted the swivel guns and they repeated the procedure. This time the group was rewarded by a soft scream when one of the cannon balls amputated the enemy sorceress head in a lucky shot. The gnomish pilot wasted little time and unsheathed the massive hammer mounted on the armours back and gripped it with two strong mechanical hands. Then he swung the hammer at the now slightly crisped gate, smashing a giant hole in it with the first strike. The imperial forces responded with a hail of bolts, these however, had little effected against the plated steam giant. Then, before anybody knew it, the doors were little more than glorified firewood. Roger and the other two mages then quickly responded by putting up an arcane shield. “Last chance to surrender!” William cried. this time the ilirani were more willing and soon after they stood face to face with an overwhelming force, they began, one by one, to drop their weapons. “Err, brother?” Cassandra asked “Aye?” “I can’t help the feeling that something, or someone rather, is missing.” Indeed, after William glanced over the men-at-arms and the other people there and he uttered a quick curse. “von Zwatzbark, the basterd probably got away via a secret tunnel.” He sighed “the dwarfs can probably find it, yet he will be long gone when they do.” Then he cheered up and smiled “We still have ä new castle though.” “true that.”

Having left the Marine Terminal 6X24 circumnavigates Cavendish Dock behind 57305 en route to Salthouse Junction.
As well as being a heavy train it's also a lengthy one, this was the first time I had seen PFAs as barriers between the KXAs on one of these workings.
20169 running round 8T59 (Metal Box Train) on 3 May 1979. The procedure when a brake van was part of the train took a bit longer.:
1) Loco, vans and brake run on Down clear of crossover 7.
2) Loco detaches and runs forward clear of North Ground Frame which is released and loco runs via empty sidings to reappear at signals 20/19 and with signal 20 runs across connections 9 & 7 onto Up Main.
3) Back over crossover 7 grabs brake (only - leaves vans), forward onto Up, crossover normal pushes brake back clear of 7.
4) Loco forward, then reverse over crossover 7 grabs the vans. (This is the point when I took this photo).
5) Forward again over crossover, crossover normal, set back and get the brake.
6) Sets off on Up, back whence it came.
As I have said in my Signal Box diagram text "The Metal Box factory at Sutton wasn't always served via this route. Initially the siding was accessed from the Great Northern Leen Valley Extension, via a 2 lever Ground Frame released from Sutton-in-Ashfield (GN) box. That line, though, closed in 1968 and access was then provided via a link running from the Midland Kirkby Sidings box". Below I add a bit more detail into how that was done:
Metal Box Oddicroft factory had continuous rail access (maybe a few hours missing at first changeover, about a week at second changeover).
When GN shut 27 May 1968 they slewed Summit Box Up Headshunt into former GN Up Main and Metal Box trains ran via Kirkby Sidings MR box Summit Colliery access connection with a double reversal and through Summit Empty Sidings. The ground frame at Metal Box became handpoints, buffer stop in Up GN a short way north of Metal Box points.
GN was lifted around this just leaving the Metal Box branch from Summit Empty Sidings (Summit Colliery shortly afterwards with the last production shift being on 12 July 1968). The access to the Metal Box siding can be seen at the top of the plan for Kirkby Sidings, see here www.flickr.com/photos/192151030@N08/52328610469/in/album-...
This change came in useful when the new 1972 deviation line was built at Kirkby-in-Ashfield as it was to pass straight through the GN Empty Sidings access - but they retained it until the last minute and added a set of points in the Metal Box line so track trains and tampers could work on the southern part of the 1972 line.
Metal Box branch closed for about 7 days whilst they pierced through the Empty/Metal Box access line and could finish off the northern part of the 1972 line.
At the end of the week they swapped both ends over to the new line and reopened the Metal Box Branch from the new Kirkby Summit box.
At Sherwood Colliery the steam winding engine was still functioning when I took this photo. I believe steam ceased in 1983.

Amtrak’s northbound Coast Starlight comes to a stop at the Marsh Street grade crossing in San Luis Obispo, California. Due to a malfunctioning crossing gate, the train is required to comply with Procedure XH (X-Ray Hotel).
According to the General Code of Operating Rules provided by Union Pacific, here is the definition of Procedure XH.
Procedure XH:
Unless otherwise instructed by signal employee in charge, train must approach crossing prepared to stop before entering crossing and if automatic warning devices are:
- Seen to be working* or when instructed by the train dispatcher or proper authority, proceed over the crossing not exceeding 15 MPH without stopping.
* Crossing with broken gate(s) is considered as having working devices when the balance of the automatic warning devices are seen to be working.
- Not working, comply with Procedure XG.
Procedure XG:
Unless otherwise instructed by signal employee in charge, train must stop before fouling crossing regardless of the condition of automatic warning devices. A crew member must be on the ground at the crossing to warn highway traffic. The train may proceed over the crossing as directed by that crew member.
Stopping is not required for Procedure XG or XH when the crew communicates with a flagger before fouling the crossing and receives confirmation that warning is being provided by:
- One equipped flagger who can provide warning for one direction of approaching traffic. Proceed over the crossing not exceeding 15 MPH without stopping until the head end of the train completely occupies the crossing.
- Two or more equipped flaggers who can provide warning in all directions of approaching traffic. Proceed over the crossing at maximum authorized speed.
Once the conductor is back aboard the train, the Coast Starlight will highball San Luis Obispo and begin its climb over Cuesta Pass.

A Novel by Mitsushiro Nakagawa
“Synopsis”
A Palestinian group from Gaza hacks into North Korea’s cryptocurrency system, stealing hundreds of millions of dollars. Their true goal is not money—but to recreate the lost homeland of Gaza on American soil.
Amid the backdrop of hardline Republican immigration policies and a growing wave of xenophobia, a quiet plan begins to take shape: the gradual collapse of America from within.
During a speech at Madison Square Garden, Republican presidential candidate Justin Bradford is shot. Almost simultaneously in Los Angeles, former president Owen Reed is attacked at a rally for Democratic hopeful Ryan Bennett.
Two assassinations—mirroring one another—ignite a nation’s deepest divide. Yet, against all odds, Justin survives. His blood type is one in 2.5 million: the Bombay Blood Group.
The only person who can donate such blood is Anaya Patel, a community art facilitator working in Brooklyn. Her blood, stored in the Bellevue Hospital Blood Bank, is used for an emergency transfusion that saves the candidate’s life.
Jack Vance, an agent of the U.S. Secret Service, suspects a Gaza-based network behind the attacks. Together with Cameron Bartlett, the FBI Director of the Los Angeles Field Office, and Veronica Reeves, a senior investigator from New York, he begins to uncover a vast conspiracy.
Their investigation leads them to Rafi Gannam, a former architecture student at the Islamic University of Gaza, who has infiltrated redevelopment sites across Los Angeles and New York—embedding C4 explosives deep within beams and structural cores.
His targets: new residential districts where agents of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and ERO (Enforcement and Removal Operations) live—symbols of “the order America built.”
Veronica urges the President to pursue dialogue to prevent further destruction, but President Grant M. Ranford refuses to listen.
Meanwhile, the recovering Justin and his Democratic rival Ryan appear on national television, calling for unity beyond political divisions.
Their words of reason, however, are drowned out when Grant takes the stage in Iowa, defiantly declaring: “We will never bow to terror.”
Among the crowd, Rafi’s operatives have already taken their positions.
As chaos erupts and the stage collapses, Amir Nasser—once Rafi’s comrade, haunted by the memory of his sister’s death in Gaza—tries desperately to halt the chain of destruction.
But Rafi’s conviction remains unshaken.
Under the twilight beneath the Williamsburg Bridge, amid the city’s fading noise, the two men part ways.
It is the boundary between prayer and vengeance, between hope and nothingness.

Recently, director Ridley Scott remarked that streaming films and series have become dull.
I agree.
If you have two hours to spare for such stories, I ask for only two minutes of your time.
Two minutes with my novel will outlast those two hours.
I am confident of that.
Stay tuned.

“あらすじ”
北朝鮮の仮想通貨システムをハッキングし、数億ドルを奪取したガザ出身のパレスチナ人グループが、アメリカ合衆国へ密かに潜入する。
彼らの目的は、失われた祖国ガザを、アメリカの地に「復元」することだった。
共和党による強硬な移民政策と、国内にくすぶる排外感情を利用し、アメリカ社会を内側から崩壊させる計画が静かに進行していく。
共和党大統領候補ジャスティン・ブラッドフォードがマディソン・スクエア・ガーデンで演説中に狙撃され、ほぼ同時刻、ロサンゼルスでは前大統領オーウェン・リードもまた、民主党候補ライアン・ベネットの集会で撃たれる。
国家を二分する双方向の暗殺。だが、ジャスティンは奇跡的に生還する。
彼の血液型は、世界でわずか250万人に一人といわれる「ボンベイブラッド」。
その希少な血を提供できたのは、ブルックリンで活動するコミュニティアート・ファシリテーター、アナヤ・パテルだった。
彼女の血液はベルビュー病院の血液バンクに保存されており、緊急輸血によって、候補者の命はかろうじて繋がれた。
シークレットサービスのジャック・バンスは、テロの背後にガザ出身の組織が関与していることを察知し、FBIロサンゼルス支局長官キャメロン・バートレット、ニューヨーク支局の特別捜査官ヴェロニカ・リーブスと共に捜査を進める。
やがて彼らは、イスラム大学で建築学を学んだラフィ・ガンナムが、ロサンゼルスやニューヨークの再開発現場に潜入し、梁や構造体の中枢にC4爆薬を仕込んでいた事実に辿り着く。
標的は、ICE（移民・関税執行局）やERO（執行・送還作戦部門）の職員が暮らす新興住宅街——すなわち、「アメリカが築いた秩序」そのものだった。
ヴェロニカは、これ以上の破壊を防ぐため、大統領への対話を進言するが、現職のグラント・ランフォード大統領は耳を貸さない。
一方、命を取り留めたジャスティンと民主党候補ライアンは、テレビを通じて国民に訴えかけ、分断を乗り越えようとする。
だが、その理性の声を嘲笑うかのように、グラントはアイオワ州での演説を強行し、「テロには屈しない」と宣言する。
その会場には、すでにラフィの仲間が率いる工作チームが潜入していた。
崩壊する会場の惨状を前に、仲間の一人アミール・ナッセルは、かつてガザで妹を失った記憶に引き裂かれ、破壊の連鎖を止めようとする。
だが、ラフィの信念は揺るがない。
ウィリアムズバーグ橋の下、夕暮れの喧騒のなか、二人は決別する。
それは、祈りと報復、希望と虚無の境界線だった——。

僕のこの小説は、来年、２０２６年２月末日に公開します。
先日、リドリースコット監督がサブスクの映画やドラマ群がつまらないと話していたようだけど、同感です。
僕も非常に退屈です。
それらに2時間を要するなら、僕の小説を２分間だけ読んで欲しい。
その2分間は、２時間を越えるでしょう。
僕は自信があります。
ぜひ、期待してお待ちください。

Every six weeks I see the retinal specialist for a procedure that involves an injection in the retina of my right eye...afterwards, because of six different numbing drops, my eye feels like a bowling ball..I see distorted lines, flashes of color, blobs of lacquer red, and a black circle which I'm guessing is the injection site that I am seeing through? and dots of black. Thankfully it is temporary. This is how I think my eye looks and what I see in those few hours after.
Astronauts have a wealth of knowledge to absorb before they can fly to the International Space Station: from piloting spacecraft to conducting spacewalks and maintaining one of the most advanced structures ever built by humans.
Having intricate knowledge of every component is impossible, so astronauts do regular refresher trainings while in space and ground control helps during complex operations.
Detailed checklists with step-by-step instructions are sent to the Space Station’s computers for the astronauts to follow, but this has a large drawback: reading and clicking on to the next step in the instructions requires that the astronaut has to let go of any tools and divert attention to the detailed procedure list.
ESA is working on the MobiPV mobile procedure viewer, which allows ground control to see what the astronauts sees and the wearer to work hands-free. MobiPV has been tested underwater and in space using commercially available parts but, just like mobile phones, the engineers are constantly upgrading the system to do more.
Here ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli has set up the latest version of MobiPV to check the system is working as planned.
This model allows multiple ground control stations to watch the video streamed from a camera in the glasses – useful for tasks that involve researchers and engineers from different countries as the International Space Station is run by USA, Japan, Russia, Canada and ESA.
The download and upload speed has been improved, while the software was upgraded to allow for situations when there is no direct contact with ground control, preparing for missions further afield such as on the Moon or Mars.
Unlike with mobile phones, any updates to MobiPV cannot cause unintended effects – performing any task in space allows no room for error. A lost connection or problem with the system cannot be allowed to impair the astronaut in any way, so MobiPV is robust.
Paolo is set to use MobiPV to maintain a water pump in Europe’s Columbus space laboratory.

The life of an astronaut in space consists of following many step-by-step procedures. We’ve all wished we had an extra arm when following the instructions to self-assembly furniture and for astronauts it is no different – except their procedures, instructions and hardware are more complex as well as their lives often depending on following the instructions correctly.
ESA has developed a system that improves on the basic step-by-step procedures used on the International Space Station that are displayed on a computer. The current system requires constant floating back and forth from the computer to the workplace to check the next step, and mission control cannot easily follow progress.
The mobile procedure viewer or ‘mobiPV’ is a wearable system that displays each step in a task, synchronises between the astronaut, ground control and third parties, automatically logs steps and communication and allows for video conferencing, note-taking and text chat.
In this image, ESA’s Matthias Maurer is testing the system during a simulated space mission 20 m underwater off the coast of Florida, USA, during NASA’s Extreme Environment Mission Operations (NEEMO).
The main part of the equipment is the smartphone and camera on a 3D-printed wrist-band. mobiPV can display the procedure on a separate tablet to see more information. Here Matthias has connected a third device for testing – all three screens are synchronised.
Versions of mobiPV have been tested during NEEMO before and even in space during ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen’s ‘iriss’ mission last year. This version, branded mobiPV++, uses a redesigned system and tests the device without a head-mounted display.
The NEEMO crew used mobiPV to run a new way of sampling water that shows promise for use on the International Space Station, called Aquapad. The procedure was displayed on the tablet with ground control following from the coast and the mobiPV team watching from ESTEC, ESA’s technical heart in the Netherlands. The astronauts and NEEMO crew were very positive with the results.
The mobiPV team is continuing to refine the system and hope to have a second test on the International Space Station with ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet during his six-month Proxima mission starting later this year.

I saw a retina specialist today and I don't have macular degeneration. I may need a procedure if my retina doesn't heal on it's own but I should keep my sight. I've missed you all so much but I have peeked at you photos now and then because I hate to miss seeing any of them.
Chemin de fer-musée Blonay-Chamby (BC): after the suppression of the railway service on May 22, 1966, a group of fans began the procedures for the exploitation of the meter gauge line between Blonay and Chamby, a three-kilometer route, as a tourist railway. After forming a cooperative society for the exploitation of the railway, and an association to support it, on July 20, 1968, the tourist operation was inaugurated. The line remains property of MVR (Transports Montreux-Vevey-Riviera, successor company of CEV, Chemins de fer électriques veveysans), except for the depot and museum, as well as the link track, which are property of the BC.
To celebrate the 125th anniversary of the opening of the first section of the Bex-Villars line, and the 80th anniversary of the merger of the Bex–Gryon–Villars–Chesières (BGVC) and Villars–Bretaye (VB) railways, on September 9, 10, 16 and 17, 2023, the BC held several commemorative events. The main one was the temporary transfer of the BCFe 4/4 1 “TransOrmonan” electric railcar and the C 35 trailer to the BC line. These two vehicles are part of the heritage train (together with the C 34 trailer) preserved by the company Transports publics du Chablais (TPC), with the collaboration of the ASD 1914 association.
Here we see the railcar in Chaulin-Musée. Original of the Chemin de fer Aigle-Sépey-Diablerets (ASD), the BCFe 4/4 1 railcar was built by SWS and AEG in 1913, and was rebuilt in 1941 after a fire. It served on the ASD line between 1913 and 1987.
To its left we see the consist formed by the CF 21 passenger car of the Aigle-Leysin railway (SIG Neuhausen, 1900) and the electric rack and pinion locomotive He 2/2 2 of the Bex-Gryon-Villars railway (SLM and IEG, 1900).
On the right, the BCFeh 4/4 6 mixed electric rack and pinion/adhesion railcar, built in 1909 by SIG, SLM and Alioth for the Monthey-Champéry-Morgins (MCM) railway. He was loaned to BC in 1975.
Rarely seen such direct aggression and displacement. Normally there is a lengthy sequential procedure before one bird takes over,

Flight training in Stearmans at Randolph Field, San Antonio Texas, in 1943. One student has successfully taken-off and is happily on his way. The other student was not so skilled in his take-off procedures and fell to a common fate: the “ground wheel” followed by “departing the prepared surface”, followed by too-heavy breaking and lastly, the dreaded “nose-over.” He has failed his ride and his instructor is furious...but not as furious as the ground crew who has to recover the aircraft and fix it!
The “Kaydet”, Stearman Model 75, is a 2-seat military trainer built in the USA from the mid-1930‘s through early ‘40s as an initial flight trainer for pilots heading off to WWII. Widely known as the “Stearman”, over 9800 were built of all model types and thousands are still flying today in airshows and as “warbirds”. It’s also one of the most featured biplane aircraft in movies. The aircraft is configured so that the student with full instrumentation sits in front, and their instructor in back with duplicate flight controls.
The Army Air Corps used the nomenclature “PT” for primary trainer. The PT-17 version had a Continental R-670-5 power plant, with a horsepower varying from 210 to 240 at 2,200 rpm. Pilots nicknamed it, “The Washing Machine,” as it washed-out many students from the program. The US Navy version was all-yellow and is known as the N2S.
I have had the pleasure of a 30 minute ride in one and the instructor let me fly for 15 minutes at cruising altitude. It’s beautiful to handle, and the open cockpit is the most enjoyable way to fly!
