After hitting the scales at the Burlington River Terminal, freshly repainted Burlington Junction Railway C415 #701 shoves three gondolas of crushed, cubed scrap metal north through Burlington, Iowa. The crew will set the cars out at an ad hoc loading facility set up just south of the BJRY shops.
The 701 was built as Columbia and Cowlitz Railway #701, and was later sold to the Port of Tillamook Bay.
All what is left of the former Kettle Valley Railway track at Chute Lake are the crossing signs. The track itself has been converted to a long-distance bike trail.
This image is a bit more cluttered with people and objects than I would have liked but then again its a busy railway station . The train station in Toledo in Spain did I feel warrant a photograph it looks l more like a Moorish palace than somewhere to board a train.
The Toledo railway station was designed by architect Narciso Clavería y de Palacios in the Neo-Mudéjar style The station was opened in 1919 . It was designed to echo the historic architecture of the city. The central section is flanked by two side naves, one of which is adjacent to the clock tower, which imitates the style of Toledo church towers.
The station has been declared a Property of Cultural Interest and classified as a monument.

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.
Shooted with my friends Yari and Federica

Canadian Pacific GP9 8641 on the Kaslo Subdivision tie gang work train unloads cars from the barge just brought in from Slocan City.
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.
