No 7802 'Badley Manor' departs Bewdley for Kidderminster with the last scheduled passenger service of the day.
oops,,,, This photo was scheduled to be posted this morning.
But I couldn't post because I didn't have time.
Therefore, although it is night in Japan, we will deliver it to Good morning all over the world.
Have a happy Wednesday to all ✧ (ꈍᴗꈍ) ✧ ･ ﾟ: * 💝

Barn Owl taken from the bottom of my garden
With heart-shaped face, buff back and wings and pure white underparts, the barn owl is a distinctive and much-loved countryside bird. Widely distributed across the UK, and indeed the world, this bird has suffered declines through the 20th century and is thought to have been adversely affected by organochlorine pesticides such as DDT in the 1950s and '60s.
Nocturnal birds like the barn owl are poorly monitored by the Breeding Bird Survey and, subject to this caveat, numbers may have increased between 1995-2008.
Barn owls are a Schedule 1 and 9 species.
They eat: Mice, voles, shrews and some larger mammals and small birds. (Courtesy RSPB)

Species: Fringilla montifringilla.
Similar in size and shape to the chaffinch, the male brambling has a black head in summer, and an orange breast with white belly. In flight it shows a long white rump. Gregarious in winter, it may form flocks of many thousands and often joins with chaffinches. Numbers can vary between winters depending on food supplies. It is a Schedule 1 species. Info:RSPB.
Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos
Amtrak's California Zephyr train No. 6 makes a rare daylight appearance departing Murray, Utah the morning of Dec. 2, 2022. The train was six hours and 22 minutes behind schedule, due to weather-related delays on the paired track west of Winnemucca, Nevada.
Rathaus underground station in Cologne, Germany
A pleasing contrast of midnight blue and silvery gleam
When completed, the new north–south suburban railway line in Cologne will have eight stops. While the last stretch of the line is scheduled to come into operation in 2016, Rathaus station has already proven itself fit for everyday operation. Located directly beneath the historic market, Rathaus underground station provides quick and convenient access to the centre of Cologne's historic Altstadt (old town) district, which was previously only accessible by bus.
The station, covering almost 3,000 m², lies 16 metres below ground. Its design is characterised by a fresh contrast of midnight blue and silver. A large proportion of the wall area is velvety-smooth blue, while the ceilings and certain sections of the walls are a shiny silver. The walls and ceilings are clad in hot-dip galvanised and powdercoated steel sheet modules, which are perforated in the ceiling area so that they also absorb sound.
Above the entrances, main traffic areas and footpaths throughout the station, WE-EF DOC240 recessed exterior downlights ensure excellent visibility and safety as well as aid orientation. The luminaires had to be integrated into various building situations – either installed in circular sections of the expanded metal ceilings or combined with an installation tube and mounted directly on the concrete ceilings. The DOC240 downlights in the underground station have proven to be versatile, not just in terms of the installation and mounting options, but also in relation to lighting techniques.
While the stairways and escalators are illuminated from a relatively high position, the height between floors in the main traffic areas is rather low. With different light sources in varying wattages – in this case HIT and CFL lamps, and two symmetric light distributions [M] medium and [EE] very narrow beam – the WE-EF luminaires provide exactly the right amount of light for the unique spaces.
All DOC240 downlights used in this project are fitted with vibration protection in order to extend their service life. Luminaires mounted at especially high installation positions are equipped with a device to lower the luminaire to facilitate ease of maintenance.

This Grade II*-listed stone packhorse bridge over the River Welland at Deeping St James in south Lincolnshire dates from 1651. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
Deeping St James is based around a now lost 12th-century Benedictine Priory, destroyed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The stones from the priory were used to build various 17th-century buildings in the area. The village is one mile east of Market Deeping which is also on the River Welland. This rises near Sibbertoft in Northamptonshire. The Welland is one of the main rivers that helps to drain the Fens. It joins the sea near Fosdike in The Wash.
58026 passes Brancliffe East Junction while working a Doe Hill to Cottam coal train.
Going: Cottam power station, which is scheduled to close in September 2019
Going: Coal traffic to all UK power stations, with all coal-burning power stations scheduled to close by 2025.
Gone: HAA coal hoppers, of which over 10,000 were built and which ceased operation in 2010.
Gone: Brancliffe East signal box, which along with its semaphore signalling, closed in 1998.
Gone: Doe Hill opencast loading point, which ceased operation in 2002.
As to the locomotive, 58026 survives but is stored in a sorry state at Alizay in Northern France.
Precision Scheduled Railroading in effect, NS Train 224 with the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Heritage Locomotive on the point passes over Dry Creek on the NS Kansas City District-BNSF Brookfield Sub.
This train's Moberly crew was over 9 hours old at this point, and at 13,024 with 3 distinct blocks of traffic to get rid of between Voltz and Kansas City, they'll be close to their hog time before they make the first cut.
The Lackawanna's Phoebe Snow and N&W's Herman H. Pevler are both rolling in their graves.

Der Schnellzug R 768 "Berounka" von Praha hl.n. nach Železná Ruda-Alžbětín verkehrt ab Klatovy mit einer Diesellok der Baureihe 754. Am 27. Oktober 2024 war für diese Aufgabe die im sogenannten Najbrt-Design 1.1 gehaltene 754.058 eingeplant. Dieses Farbschema kam bei der ČD zwischen 2008 und 2011 zur Anwendung. Kurz nach Verlassen des Bahnhofs Zelená Lhota konnte ich den besagten Zug vor bunt gefärbten Laubbäumen im sanften Nachmittagslicht aufnehmen.
The express train R 768 ‘Berounka’ from Praha hl.n. to Železná Ruda-Alžbětín runs from Klatovy with a class 754 diesel locomotive. 754.058 in the so-called Najbrt design 1.1 was scheduled for this task on 27 October 2024. This colour scheme was used on the ČD between 2008 and 2011. Shortly after leaving Zelená Lhota station, I was able to take this train in front of colourful deciduous trees in the soft afternoon light.

A panoramic view (four vertical shots stitched together) of the building of Hudson Yard. You can see "The Edge" at the top of the building on the left. It's the highest observation deck in the western hemisphere at 1,100 ft and scheduled to open Spring 2020. The views must be great and you can even lean out on the 9 foot glass wall that juts out into the sky! As seen the New York City hike with Mathias, aka., m_laRs_k.
After the 92-9000 caught two years ago, here's the spare (for today) one!
Finally and concerning to the schedules at Zurich, i prefered to go to Ramstein in order to have it perfectly as my weather forecast predicted a marvelous winter light.
Still no E-8 for me but next time, it should be the one!
Kirkby Lonsdale in the south of Cumbria developed at a crossing point over the River Lune, where several drovers' and packhorse routes converged. It is one of the few Cumbrian towns mentioned in the Domesday Book.
The town is noted for the Devil's Bridge which at one time carried the Skipton to Kendal road over the River Lune. It dates from around 1370 and has three spans. It is 45 feet from the river to the parapet and is certainly one of the highest medieval packhorse bridges that I have seen.
The bridge is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and is Grade I-listed. It is considered to be one of the finest medieval bridges in England.
Am Sonntag, den 12. März 2017, war der Güterverkehr auf der KBS 950 spärlich wie schon lange nicht mehr. Aber wenigstens gab sich die glückliche Fügung, dass der Aicher-Stahltransport eingelegt war und darüber hinaus noch von einem altehrwürdigen Bundesbahn-Sechsachser bespannt wurde. Bei Gutmart konnte 151 061 mit ihrem GM 60445 auf der Fahrt nach Hammerau fotografiert werden.
On Sunday the 12th of March 2017 freight train traffic on the track between Munich and Rosenheim was unexpectedly low. At least a steel transport was scheduled and the train should be hauled by a classy Co Co engine. Near the small village of Gutmart I took this picture of 151 061 with freight train GM 60445 to Hammerau near the Austrian border.
Only one week prior to her very last flight for KLM is PH-BFN rolling on taxiway Victor, to perform another scheduled passenger service.
The Milky Way rising above the hoodoos and unique, hearty vegetation in the badlands of northern New Mexico. The Valley of Dreams, located northwest of Chaco Canyon, does not disappoint, though its formations are not as extensive as Bisti further to the northwest. The night was the clearest I’ve been able to shoot in two years—partly weather, partly competing schedules! The moon was just setting, producing the well-exposed landscape and long shadows. I typically plan for at least two images on a night out, and this was my second with the plant and hoodoos as the landscape elements. It was a little tricky figuring out the composition in the dark, but I’m happy with what I was able to do. The sky and landscape were taken from the same set of images, but processed separately in Photoshop, Starry Landscape Stacker, Astronomy Tools, Astro Panel, and Nik.

memories from our visit to the Orkneys. This beautiful little plane is the trusted transport of choice if you want to hop from Westray island to sister island Papa Westray. The flight lasts about SIXTY SECONDS and is listed in the Guinness book of records as the World's shortest scheduled flight. We even got a certificate for that :)) And as you can see, this little plane is the island's postman and lifeline as well.

Having had lightly (or no) scheduled traffic in the recent past, I had never given D&RGW's La Veta Pass much thought; but after reading more on its storied past as a potential route south to Mexico for the Rio Grande, I have newfound respect for its historical significance. With the takeover of the Pass from San Luis Rio Grande by Colorado Pacific Rio Grande (CXRG), and what appear to be twice-a-week runs to a connection with UP at Walsenburg, it may become my new "go-to" during future family trips to Colorado.
The hogger on this CXRG train is taking it nice and slow near the station of Russell on the west side of the Pass, returning to Alamosa from Walsenburg. In a few miles, it'll be a mostly-flat, if not smooth, ride all the way into town. Now, about that power...
Stonehenge a Scheduled Ancient prehistoric monument located 2 miles west of Amesbury in Wiltshire.
One of the most famous sites in the world, Stonehenge is the remains of a ring of standing stones set within earthworks. It is in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred burial mounds.
Archaeologists believe it was constructed from 3,000 BC to 2,000 BC. The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3,100 BC. Radiocarbon dating in 2008 suggested that the first bluestones were raised between 2,400 and 2,200 BC. Another theory suggests the bluestones may have been raised at the site as early as 3,000 BC.
The site and its surroundings were added to the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986 in a co-listing with Avebury Henge. It is a national legally protected Scheduled Ancient Monument. Stonehenge is owned by the Crown and managed by English Heritage, while the surrounding land is owned by the National Trust.
Archaeological evidence found by the Stonehenge Riverside Project in 2008 indicates that Stonehenge could have been a burial ground from its earliest beginnings. The dating of cremated remains indicate that deposits contain human bone from as early as 3000 BC, when the ditch and bank were first dug. Such deposits continued at Stonehenge for at least another 500 years.
Both sandhill crane eggs hatched and out popped two precocious, healthy orangey-gold chicks, endearingly known as "colts" almost immediately ready to follow their parents out of the nest on their diligent foraging for worms and insects to feed the colts.
Interesting to note that these photos were taken exactly one year to the day from my images of the 2019 hatchlings. These guys really keep to a tight schedule!
This charming little house has been scheduled for demolition, guess they're going to put a parking garage or something there.
Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! We have a fun and friendly holiday schedule this month.
December's featured artist is Kimma McGregor !!
Sandy Burgess will be teaching us about aspect ratios on Dec 10th. And lastly, our Grove Photo Club has a special outing to Calas Galadhon for holiday fun. Everyone is invited to join us!
Tigger on the table after dinner tonight. She (like Bonkers and probably all cats) has her routines and scheduled she must follow. For Tigger, that means jumping on the table after dinner for attention and affection.
With 258's new schedule, the morning Orrick shot is now constantly available. Getting an eastbound here in morning light used to be a rarity after 120's schedule change several years ago.
The CTC siding here is on its deathbed as the turnout at Curry (east end) has been removed. It's no surprise given it's condition and seldom use. I've only seen MOW equipment parked here. I wonder what that will mean for the west end and the nice signal bridge.

This variety of Cicada (Magicicada) has a 17-year life cycle and is part of brood IV, or the Kansan Brood. The last time they emerged in Nebraska was 1998. They started to emerge from the ground about a week ago as they were delayed by the rainy weather. So happy that we were able to find them in Weeping Water, Nebraska yesterday afternoon.
People call these cicadas “locusts” but they are not true locusts — real locusts look like grasshoppers. The phrase “17 year cicada” indicates that they arrive every 17 years. The name “periodical cicadas” indicates that they arrive periodically and not each and every year. The scientific name for the Genus of these cicadas is Magicicada, and there are 3 types of 17 year Magicicadas: Magicicada septendecim, Magicicada cassini and Magicicada septendecula. This is a true locust:
There are literally billions of 17- year cicadas. Why? One theory suggests that the large number of cicadas overwhelms predators, so predators are never able to eat them all and many always survive to mate. This is a survival strategy called “predator satiation”.

Nearing the end of it's 2.5 journey across the country, this train originated in Perth on Australia's west coast and is seen about an hour away from it's destination of SCT Logistics depot in Laverton, Melbourne.
Seen here hauling 26 wagons, it is a relatively small load compared to the majority of SCT's trains which operate on this route with around 50-80 wagons.
Departing Perth on a Tuesday night, this service has been added to SCT's weekly schedule from early in 2018, in part due to picking up extra loading since the recent demise of the Aurizon company operating their intermodal freights on this route.
Passing Milepost 528.0, just thirteen miles out of Denver on the Brush Subdivision at the US 2 Highway overpass west of Barr Lake, Colorado, a solid string of trailers on flatcars trail the power on BN Train #63, (Chicago-Denver TOFC). July 20. 1988. Train #63 primarily handled TOFC for Omaha, Denver and connecting service with D&RGW Train 101 at Denver for forwarding to the SP at Ogden, UT. Departing Chicago at 7:00 p.m., it was scheduled into Denver at 7:40 p.m. the following day.
Rolling along on the former CB&Q’s Chicago-Denver mainline, the high priority speedster is led by two three-month-old leased General Electric LMX B39-8’s, the 8596 and 8597, (both built in April, 1988). Also noteworthy is BN Fuel Tender FT50 tucked into the middle of the consist to eliminate fueling stops thus speeding up operations along the route. Due to problems with stress related cracks to their frames, fuel tenders were phased out by the early 1990’s.
The ferry Hamnavoe decided because of the weather forecast that it would not be possible to operate the scheduled 16.00 sailing from Stromness to Scrabster, so her captain decided (the same as Pentland Ferries on the other side of the Pentland Firth) to depart early to get out through Hoy Sound because it was going to be Wind against the Tide and what you see is the Sea Conditions in Hoy Sound as she heads over to Scrabster.
The return journey went from Scrabster along the North Coast of Caithness/Scotland towards Stroma (almost Gills Bay where the Pentalina ferry goes to) before then crossing over towards Orkney and Scapaflow coming back through Hoxa Sound and on up to Stromness.
There will be NO crossings from either of the 2 ferry companies on Saturday, 16.11.24, because of the sea conditions. The next expected sailings will be on Sunday afternoon, 17.11.24, weather permitting.

The overnight sleeper failed at Carlisle, a door problem I saw reported. It decanted the unlucky passengers onto the platform, and proceeded to London later in the day. Scheduled to go via Wolverhampton, Stechford, Birmingham International it turned left at Stafford and made some time up on the fast line up the Trent valley. So much so that I only just made it in time.... Thanks to gen providers.

Last Saturday afternoon, I took our two young students from Thailand for a short walk down to the Trentham Memorial Park, and found that preparations were well under way for the Truck Fest scheduled for the next day!
Whilst there weren't many trucks on display that afternoon (A huge number turned up early the next morning), one of the 'stars' of those gathered was this Kenworth T908. And there was a bonus; a second truck was parked on the back half of the low-loader trailer...!
Belonging to "Quality Demolition", this Rig is part of the company's truck racing team. No, the T908 isn't used for racing (even though it exhibits sheer grunt!), but the "little" truck on the trailer certainly is - and very successfully too...!
And the cost of a Kenworth T908 in New Zealand? Hard to say, but as a rough indicator, a 2009 Prime Mover (i.e. The Tractor Unit but not the trailer) with 23,555 on the clock sells for $NZ176,000...!
So I'm guessing that a new T908 would set the Purchaser back around $NZ600,000 - maybe?
And although it was used a few weeks ago, few songs with a Trucking theme have had more success in New Zealand than CW McCall's "Convoy", so here he is again:
