The rolling wheel of a hopper car on an empty coal train as it rolls through Cliff, Colorado, on February 15, 2008.
We took a break on our way up to the top. The mist were rolling thick on the east of the mountain while it was blue skies and sun shining on the west side
Thanks to all my contacts and everyone else who always comes back to my stream. It's appreciated so much!
FWWR's Cresson Turn traverses the rural landscape near Mustang Creek, south of the DFW Metroplex. Photo April 29, 2018.
These gorgeous mountains sit around 4-5000 feet in elevation. The road is windy, narrow and sometimes without guard rails! It was an exhilarating drive.
After some switching choreography and a power swap at the east end of the yard, Job 1 rolls into downtown Jackman.
This is a shot of one of the more enduring and captivating features of the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina. Everyone knows that these Appalachian mountains are famous for their famous endless and rolling hilltops, and while I have taken many shots like this, it is this particular shot which I feel truly captures the essence of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
I think it is always nice to be out in the fresh air amongst the quiet of the countryside ~ can't wait till I'm back out and about!!
Stay Safe and Healthy Everyone!

South Vietnam
Marcus’s Log, Entry #4
Nothing. That’s all there had been for the last six days. They had abandoned us, forgot us, left us to die in the middle of the jungle without a way out. Well, now it’s just me, I guess. I had been trapped here in the jungle, watched by hungry eyes that were just out of sight. Just the fact that my fire illuminates the page that I’m writing on it a constant reminder that I’m lost in an unknown world. They’d probably mark us as K.I.A. in a folder in one of countless file cabinets, and that was that. They wouldn’t bother to come looking for us, just ‘cause, ‘cause war is never fair. When we had received the call to rendezvous at the clearing, I had been part of the patrol deepest into the jungle. Seconds later, we heard that we had ordered a strafe run on the entire jungle, and that we had to make it back to the choppers for evac in a matter of minutes. Then, we were running, breaking through the underbrush and leaping over fallen trees back to the LZ. While we were running, one of our soldiers tripped and sprained his ankle, and we had to stop for a second to pull him and get him moving again. We made it to the clearing just in time to see the last chopper disappearing of the treetops of the jungle. Then came the thunder.
We could hear the plane before we could see it, so deafening that mt shout for everyone to scatter was completely drowned out. I turned to run, but the ground had started to shake, and I knew that the bombardment had begun. I had only taken a few steps when I looked over my shoulder to see the plane soar over us, disappearing as quickly as it had come. I knew I only had a matter of seconds. I had just made it to the beneath the shelter of the trees when the clearing behind me exploded. Again and again. Then, an explosion behind me through me into air,flailing wildly until I landed hard on the mossy floor. The last thing I remember before I black out was the blinding white the enveloped me from the explosions as the jungle crashed down around me.
That’s where I’d trapped for the last six days. My ears had been ringing ever since I had woken up, in the midst of a place that had been torn apart. Since then, I have been traveling north knowing that if I just kept walking, I would find a way out. Even though the jungle seemed like endless tree after tree, I knew that if I kept moving, If I survived long enough, I would finally make it out the Vietnam jungle. What ever happened to me after that, I had no idea. I might be captured, tortured for intel, but honestly I couldn’t think about that for the moment. If my family and friends missed me, or if they even had any idea that I was trapped, left, and forgotten. Again, I just cant think about that. Right now, my priority was to make it out from under these trees alive. If I die, I don’t think I’ll ever be remembered. After all, I was just a pawn in the militaries overall strategy, just to be used and be sacrificed in the end. But the only way to be remembered was to leave the jungle, to return alive. So, I just have to keep moving, and eventually with every step, I’ll find a way out.

The phæno builing in the centre of Wolfsburg looks like a spacecraft that has just landed. Resting on its ten cone-shaped “feet”, the concrete structure spanning 154 metres seems to almost hover in the air.
Designed by the Iraq-born architect Zaha Hadid, the imposing structure sits enthroned high above street-level. The exhibition space, resting on conic supports and sublimely illuminated, emerged as the victorious project from an international competition staged in 2000. The London-based architect has devised a home for phæno that breaks with many conventions and that liberates the area beneath it as a kind of urban space in the form of a covered artificial landscape with gently undulating hills and valleys. Since November 2005 now, the futuristic apparition has been raising eyebrows in amazement and making eyes gleam with awe among passers-by.
The inside of phæno seems to be from another world as well: a free-flowing space framed by cast concrete. Without any right angles. Entwined over several levels. An ideal location for adventurers and discoverers. And a fantastic achievement from the London-based architect Zaha Hadid.
I liked the looks of the piggy back cars and wanted to add one to my collection.
Thanks to PNW Steam Shop and BMR for their instructions.

The Rolling Stones is a legendary English rock band known for many popular hits, such as Paint it Black, Lady Jane, Ruby Tuesday, and (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction. The Rolling Stones formed in 1962 in London when original leader Brian Jones and pianist Ian Stewart were joined by vocalist Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, whose songwriting partnership later contributed to their taking the leadership role in the group. Bassist Bill Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts completed the early lineup. Singer Mick Jagger starred in several films.
