Quito is the capital and most populous city of Ecuador, with a population of approximately 3.1 million. The city stretches from north to south for 50 km, at an altitude of 2,800 m, on the slopes of the Guagua Pichincha volcano. It is said to have been founded by Spanish settlers on 6 December 1534, but in reality the Incas had settled there some 50 years earlier, in an area that had already been inhabited for almost 2500 years.

El Palacio de Gobierno fue construido entre el siglo XVII y el siglo XIX por el Presidente de la Real Audiencia de Quito (presidente del Consejo Real), barón Héctor de Carondelet.
En la actualidad, es sede del gobierno ecuatoriano.
En la escalera que conduce a la primera planta, hay un mural pintado por el artista ecuatoriano Oswaldo Guayasamín, que retrata el descubrimiento del río Amazonas, en 1542.

I am all for getting people into the hobby, and seeing this many people in Durand, a place that used to have many dedicated visitors, is great. However, they were all on the wrong side of the light for a returning GLC unit potash train for HESR they got from CSX in Howell. For a short time, this GLC extra was known as CSX Z624-13, but, back on home rails in a few moments, it passes the depot on a wonderful late fall day.
La parroquia de San Blas fue fundada en 1571, creada para los indígenas cuando los conquistadores trazaron Quito, con su deseo de convertir a todas las personas al catolicismo. Hasta comienzos del siglo XX, la plaza marcaba el límite norte de la ciudad. Cuenta con una sencilla iglesia que junto con San Sebastián, es la más vieja de Quito.

I finally got out and took a few pictures!
Thank you everyone for your faves & comments. As some of you know I suffer from fibromyalgia and due to the pain in my hands I cannot do the typing to thank you all. Please accept my thanks here

This is the end of the trip
With their short run to Berry Plastics complete, the crew of Arkansas-Oklahoma (A-OK) Super-7 #4098 (aka "Wyatt") has run up the west side of the UP connector at McAlester, OK and tied down for the rest of the day. The 4093 (aka "Reed") is parked right where they left it and two of three former BNSF B40-8Ws are parked in the yard to the distant left. That boom truck is kinda nice too.
4093 started life as Western Pacific U23B #2255 and 4098 started life as WP U23B #2260. After rebuilding, both spent time on the Monongahela, Conrail, and Norfolk Southern before getting painted in this passable rendition of the Rock Island scheme. Most appropriate since the A-OK operates part of the Rock Island's former Choctaw route from Memphis to Tucumcari.

After some chatting with Mobile 80, the Tramp Job heads for the Union Yard Runner (i.e. the old main) to tie up with some cars from the Commercial Yard.
