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.
A new rack.
This young buck, with a new set of antlers, wandered through the dunes behind our cottage in the early morning 4 years ago.

Odocoileus virginianus
The white tailed deer is the most widely distributed and the most numerous of all North America’s large animals.
It leaves its fawn unattended for hours at a time.
It may have difficulty surviving the winter, particularly if there are too many deer competing for food or if snow is deep
This magnificent bull elk, dubbed "half-rack" is a prime example of the dangers bulls face as they fight for dominance during the fall rut. While I did not witness it, according to other photographers and park rangers, this fellow had quite the harem - until he lost a good portion of his antlers in a fight with another bull. He seemed healthy other than the obvious loss and would carry on like the others, only to no avail. Nearly impossible to fight like this (although he did try) he was at a distinct disadvantage and the cow elk would have no part of him. As he tried to get close, they would move away and steer clear of his advances. Poor fellow - from one of the top bulls to an "also-ran." The good but still perilous news is that if he survives winter, he will drop his half-rack and begin to grow a full set in the spring.
We witnessed other bulls that were not so lucky - gouged eyes, limps and obvious goring injuries. Nature can be brutal.
Thanks for viewing and have a glorious weekend!

With a pair of Phase I SD70M's up front, an autorack repo train rolls westward through the crossover at Chaney Jct, just west of Downtown Houston. The train is headed from UPs Houston auto facility at Westfield/Spring down to Mexico via interchange with Ferromex at Eagle Pass, TX.
Although the golden sun is still shining, the end of the day isn't far away. And unfortunately, the end isn't too far way either for both the SD70's and the SP searchlights here at Chaney (the signals would come down a few weeks later).

The deer are starting to come around again. This one posed nicely for me.

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.
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)
Focus mechanism for my Speed Graphic view camera. For the September 17 Macro Mondays theme "Cogwheel." Four images focus-stacked.
The camera was manufactured in the late 1940s or early 50s. I bought this one, used, with my paper route money and took pictures for my high school yearbook during the late 1960's.
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.
