246-16 passes through Guelph Jct with CP 7014, CP 9767, and 100 cars.
They're about to make the turn south down to Hamilton in this photo.
Looking across at the parge panels of flowing Mongollian script from the wooden bench in the Ancient Asian Artifacts room at the Art Gallery of South Australia.
Not surprisingly the Mongollian script is very similar to ancient Chinese script.
Canadian Pacific Train 253 with the CP 7010 Heritage Locomotive is approaching CPC 191 at Rouses Point where it will stop for a crew change and the Canadian crew will take it the rest of the way to Montreal. Multiple problems plagued this train during the night causing a lengthy delay which allowed for a few daylight photos just south of the border.
I *very* rarely use my lunch hour to go railfanning. Time, and the lack of interesting trains on the Dayton District over the past year or so have negated the need. This day's train was a worthy exception.
Leading NS 60P through Springfield, OH was CP 7015, painted in its snazzy, retro Canadian Pacific scheme with block lettering on the long hood. Trailing it was a train of potash bound for the Indiana and Ohio Railway for eventual delivery to a fertilizer plant in South Charleston.
There are painters who must,
having found the place, must,
repaint it, compelled to repeat it,
each a variant, yet always the same,
always different
I awake to a perspective that is wide,
always differentiated from the prior,
always almost similar, but never with
the same exactitude, differing attitude,
same longitude, identical latitude,
always different
horizon distanced, in all ways a view
encompassing, duality near, far distant,
harmoniously, eyes open, magnetized
to wake before 6am by the suns modesty,
first light, first clarity, a curtain risen, yet,
always different
am I so blessed or thus cursed, for the urge
to disclaim and ode, compose and thus self-
decompose, analyze, reflect, slice apart, needing
the comprehensive understanding this me/place
scripts the raw appreciation, daily differentiated
always the same
this peaceful venue seizures, chest calmly
pounding at the insistence it commands,
the price I must pay for the prize to praise,
to sing, weep, reward restful sleep with lyrics
eked out, pouring, unsustainable yet finished,
always different
a single May Iris, returns, born from a torrential,
thunder, lightning, sky mayhem, rises by a sundial
greets midst a planted clump, upright rises, lavender,
in a majestic solitary, absent but a day prior, yet mine eyes
failed to witness its discernible emerging birthing creation,
always different,
always the same
here, I am Iris too, always the same, a day aged,
but the differences minute but stolid actualized,
this overnight sensation, my body’s restoration,
what I visualize, indivisible, now visible, realized,
miracle of continuity, unchanging chained change,
always different ,
always the same
wonder, am I more blessed, or a s~lightly cursed being,
my breath restored, wet eyes full brimming, changed,
revived but always modified, a newer old man, whose
sum total always a different number, but in sequential,
compelled to confess, no understanding of this miracle,
always the same,
always different,
this daily visionary miracle

I tried to translate this but it's too difficult to figure out exactly what each symbol is. Ge'ez is an abugida used to write a variety of languages from the horn of Africa.
“Fiddler’s Grave, Castlecaldwell, Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh” is the title on this interesting image from the amazing Eason Collection. This unusual, and hopefully very appropriate tombstone near Enniskillen attracted the attention of the photographer, and it should make an interesting read for those who can clarify the script.
Photographer: Unknown
Collection: Eason Photographic Collection
Date: between 1900-1920

FGR asked what vice we can't live without. For me, it is Coke Zero.
At one point, I drank two Double Gulps of the stuff each day. My current Coke habit of one can a day is relatively good!
