Was reluctant to post this initially, later I just posted it.
The original plan was to capture the structure from the front with car trails, however, the car trails were not effective, therefore had to choose this angle. Hope you like it.

The City of the Dead, or Cairo Necropolis, also referred to as the Qarafa is a series of vast Islamic-era necropolises and cemeteries in Cairo, Egypt. They extend to the north and to the south of the Cairo Citadel, below the Mokattam Hills and outside the historic city walls, covering an area roughly 4 miles long. They are included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of "Historic Cairo".
The necropolis is separated roughly into two regions: the Northern Cemetery to the north of the Citadel (also called the Eastern Cemetery or Qarafat ash-sharq in Arabic because it is east of the old city walls), and the older Southern Cemetery to the south of the Citadel. There is also another smaller cemetery north of Bab al-Nasr.
The necropolis that makes up "the City of the Dead" has been developed over many centuries and contains both the graves of Cairo's common population as well as the elaborate mausoleums of many of its historical rulers and elites. It started with the early city of Fustat (founded in 642 CE) and arguably reached its apogee, in terms of prestige and monumentality, during the Mamluk era (13th-15th centuries). Throughout their history, the necropolises were home to various types of living inhabitants as well. These included the workers whose professions were tied to the cemeteries (e.g. gravediggers, tomb custodians), the Sufis and religious scholars studying in the religious complexes built by sultans and other wealthy patrons, and the regular inhabitants of small urban settlements and villages in the area. This population grew and shrank according to circumstances in different eras. However, starting in the late 19th century and increasing in the 20th century, the pressure of Cairo's intensive urbanization and its ensuing housing shortage led to a large increase in the number of people living in the necropolis zones. Some people resorted to squatting within the mausoleums and tomb enclosures and turning them into improvised housing; however, these "tomb-dwellers" remained a small fraction of the overall population in the area. This phenomenon led to much media commentary and popular imagination about the condition of those living in the necropolises, linking them symbolically to Cairo's much-discussed overpopulation problems and sometimes leading to exaggerated estimates of the number of people squatting in the mausoleums.

After the passage of the Sharq, some lunch and a move of about 2.5 kms west, the hour of the freight trains had come. Literally: this and the following four photos were all taken within an hour (12:52 to 13:49), and after that the line fell completely silent again.
Fifty-five years separate these two westbound locomotives, running light. The gigantic class 3ЭС5К (3ES5K, nicknamed "Yermak", courtesy of Novocherkassk Electric Locomotive Plant) triple locomotive no. 1003 was delivered to UTY in August 2020. This twelve-axle monster puts almost 10,000 kW onto the rails, so it will have had no problem towing a locomotive that left the same factory in 1965, in the form of ВЛ60К (VL60K) no. 2125.

After a month its off to Uzbekistan again for work. As usual, I decided to travel early to do some railfanning. The weather was to be perfectly sunny, but also 42 C (107 F) on the weekend.....so I was having serious second thoughts if this was at all a good idea.
After focusing on the mining railways last time, this time I wanted to get some more scenic shots even if it meant shooting modern power. I had seen some quite nice shots around Jizzax, as well as riding the train through there previously so made it the target for this trip.
Left work at 16:00 and headed to Frankfurt Airport for my 18:55 to Istanbul and then a redeye onto Tashkent. We were 20 early at 7:30 the next morning into TAS and after quickly retrieving my bag (business class perk), I hailed a Yandex taxi and was off to the train station. I had made the gamble I could make the 09:12 Sharq train to Jizzax and indeed, I had plenty of time to spare.
The small Tashkent airport is in the city and only about 15 minutes drive to the station. After stocking up on water and some snacks I boarded my thankfully air conditioned train. Stepping out of the train at Jizzax at 11:22 was like as Bobby Hill put it "standing on the sun". Quick taxi to my hotel, checked in and headed off for a small high sun nap. Wake up about 13:30 and prepare to brave the heat, get another yandex to drop me off at the small village Bakhmal' (No doubt he thought I was crazy). The village and railway are separated from the main road by the Sangzor River which I crossed on the rickety wooden pedestrian bridge, from there it was 2.5 km walk in to the location. Normally such a walk hardly phases me, but in the 42 degree heat, coupled with the lack of sleep I was feeling quite unwell by the end of it. Mercifully at the location there was a large shadow under one of the cliffs to hide under and I quickly went to sit and cool down. Just after 16:00 the first train popped into view, happily led by Russian built 3ES5K (3ЭC5К) 903. The freight would come hot and heavy in the westbound direction until sunset, along with a single night train with an hour delay. From my shadowed place I had a great view in both directions and it was a very pleasant place to spend the evening despite the heat. With the shadows creeping in I walked back to the main road and managed to hail a taxi back to Jizzax where after a ramen noodle dinner I promptly passed out...
