Known locally as "Whalley Arches", Whalley Viaduct is a 48 span railway bridge crossing the River Calder and a listed structure.
It was built between 1846 and 1850 under the engineering supervision of Terrence Wolfe Flanagan and formed part of the Bolton, Blackburn, Clitheroe and West Yorkshire Railway. It is a red brick arch structure and the longest and largest railway viaduct in Lancashire.[4] It carries the railway, now known as the Ribble Valley Line, 21.3m over the river for 620m.

Over 7 million bricks and 12,338 cubic metres of stone were used in construction. 3,000m of timber were used for the arch centring, temporary platforms and the permanent foundation piles. During construction on 6 October 1849, two of the 41 arches then completed collapsed, with the loss of three lives.
The east side of the bridge, nearest the remains of the Abbey, has the only decorative treatment

Captured on the binary of the ancient railway that lead to cala moresca.
The beach of Cala Moresca is one of the most evocative and characteristic on the eastern coast of Sardinia.
Its waters are of a changing blue due to the plays of light created by the sun reflecting off the sea bed of stones, crowned by typical Mediterranean brush vegetation.
Its name is connected with the Saracen pirate incursions (‘morus’) that for many years plagued this stretch of coast, often plundering men and belongings.

Utilizing Providence & Worcester RR B39-8 #3905 (off inbound train CHFP), New York & Atlantic Railway train RS-301 works on the LIRR's Lower Montauk Branch at Maspeth (Queens), NY on the morning of April 29, 2015. Conductor Matt Sharkey and engineer (and NY&A legend) Tommy Materka are spotting loads at Quality Aggregates. The Long Island RR stopped running trains on this line a few years ago and deactivated the signal system, as well as giving operational control to the NY&A. Note the wind torn trash bag coming off the dark position light.
Nearing the end of its descent from Soldier Summit, an eastbound Rio Grande mixed freight passes Utah Railway Junction as it approaches Helper. The diverging line is, of course, the Utah Railway to the yard in Martin and points beyond. The main objective for this trip was to photograph the Rio Grande Zephyr, which had only a month remaining before discontinuance. One of my great regrets is that we didn’t make an effort to hunt down a Utah Railway train while in the area.
