La Vall de Núria
"The Valley of Núria"
is a south-opening valley coming down from the crest of the Pyrenees within the municipality of Queralbs, province of Girona, community of Catalonia, Spain.
The floor of the valley lies about 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) above sea level and is accessible from the south via a rack railway (the Vall de Núria Rack Railway) or by foot, and from France to the north by footpaths.
There are no roads to access the valley.
The place is historically notable for the 1931 drafting of the first Catalan Statute of Autonomy, in the Sanctuary of the Virgin of Núria.
Seaview SW-7 #5 spots some loaded auto-racks at NORAD's Davisville, RI, unloading yard. The headout car is a still fairly fresh, and graffiti-less, Providence and Worcester auto-rack; the previous owner of the little EMD switcher.

If you happened to be in Utah's Tooele Valley early in the evening back in the 1990s, chances were good you'd catch UP's hot LANPZ train rolling down the mountain at Lake Point. At 7:11 p.m. on July 23, 1992, the old reliable Z arrived on the scene with UP 6024, UP 9299, pulling 39 cars. No subdivisions stood along the track (yet) to disrupt the serenity and tranquility of the moment.

Visiting Atlanta in July always reminds me that I would never survive a Summer in the American South. On an evening where the air was almost thick enough to drink, a BNSF ES44AC leads a rack train toward a crew change at Inman Yard, just around the corner behind me.
BNSF's 227 job hauls a string of autoracks out of the Port of Vancouver. A classic GP50 in BN livery leads today's train.
Had a drive up to the River Lyne to add this bridge to my set and also to test out my new lens. Not the most ideal of conditions but it seemed to perform ok.
Just a pity about that big fallen tree impacting on the shot, probably due to all the stormy weather of late.

Union Pacific's hotter than hot CHLAZ rounds a curve while climbing the foothills of the Oquirrh Mountains approaching Erda, Utah on June 13, 1992. Remember when auto racks were clean and free of tagging? It has been a while.
With the turmoil within the auto industry over the last year or two (or maybe this happened for some other reason altogether), I've observed a few slightly unique moves. It's not unusual for 247 to have racks, but to be entirely racks and to then bypass Welland made me wonder if this was a bit of a weird one.
I like this as the long train highlights the transition from level track to the 1.75% grade down into the tunnel cut.
The Montserrat Rack Railway is a mountain railway line north of Barcelona in Catalonia, Spain. The line runs from Monistrol de Montserrat to the mountain-top monastery of Montserrat.
The line is 5 km (3.1 mi) long and has a rail gauge of 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in). The first 1 km (0.6 mi) of the line, between Monistrol and the only intermediate station at Monistrol Vila, is operated by conventional adhesion. The remainder of the line is operated as a rack railway using the Abt system, overcoming a height difference of 550 m (1,804 ft) with a maximum gradient of 15.6 %. The line is electrified with an overhead supply at 1500 V DC.
The line is operated by the Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC). (4/3/2015)
SSC - Parallel
I was a little flummoxed by this challenge, luckily I looked at my wine rack and realised there was more than one parallel here. Sadly it is rather depleted at the moment but, looking on the bright side, so much space to fill and it does emphasise the parallels!
I decided to change it to a vintage style image to mimic an old cellar.
