Firefighters from multiple Cullman County fire departments have been called by Cullman e911 to a fully involved residential structure fire.
The location is in the 100 block of County Road 385. The lone wood frame home in this tightly bunch neighborhood of mobile homes is the structure on fire.
Firefighters are struggling with an attack from swarms of flying Hornets as they attempt to extinguish this intense, rapidly advancing blaze.
Apparatus and personnel from Good Hope and Trimble along with firefighters who came from Dodge City, Logan, Loretta and Bremen via personal vehicles are present at the address.
A medical team from Cullman EMS are staged nearby; Sergeant David Nunn of the Cullman County Sheriff's Office has set up a security perimeter around the incident.
Loretta Fire Chief Tony Barnett indicates his initial investigation into the cause of the fire involves a tipped over gasoline can under a porch being ignited by embers from lit cigarettes.
There is some good news ... the dwelling was vacated before the worst of the fire; no injuries have been reported to occupants or emergency responders.
The Cullman Chapter of the American Red Cross will not be required to respond to this fire.
A line crew from Cullman Electric Cooperative has just disconnected the power to the premises.

New Britain Fire arrived on the scene at East and Belden to find a vaacant commercial structure and attached wood garage structure in the rear of of that building well involved. The intense fire would also involve the adjacent occupied residential structure to the left. The fire in the building of origin would eventually lead to the collapse of the roof trapping pockets of fire and leading to an extended operation. The fire in the exposure was quickly knocked down but not before it caused significant exterior structural damage. For safety reasons the operation was an external one and the crews used multiple hand lines as well as the department's tower ladder to stream water on the fire and bring it under control. Mutual aid in the form of station coverage was requested from Newington, West Hartford, and Hartford Fire. www.onscenefirephoto.com

The Agra Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage site located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. It is about 2.5 km northwest of its more famous sister monument, the Taj Mahal. The fort can be more accurately described as a walled city.
HISTORY
The present-day structure was built by the Mughals, though a fort had stood there since at least the 11th century. Agra Fort was originally a brick fort known as Badalgarh, held by Raja Badal Singh Hindu Sikarwar Rajput king (c. 1475). It was mentioned for the first time in 1080 AD when a Ghaznavide force captured it. Sikandar Lodi (1488–1517) was the first Sultan of Delhi who shifted to Agra and lived in the fort. He governed the country from here and Agra assumed the importance of the second capital. He died in the fort at 1517 and his son, Ibrahim Lodi, held it for nine years until he was defeated and killed at Panipat in 1526. Several palaces, wells and a mosque were built by him in the fort during his period.
After the First Battle of Panipat in 1526, Mughals captured the fort and seized a vast treasure, including the diamond later known as the Koh-i-Noor. The victorious Babur stayed in the fort in the palace of Ibrahim and built a baoli (step well) in it. The emperor Humayun was crowned here in 1530. Humayun was defeated at Bilgram in 1540 by Sher Shah. The fort remained with Suris till 1555, when Humanyun recaptured it. The Hindu king Hem Chandra Vikramaditya, also called 'Hemu', defeated Humanyun's army, led by Iskandar Khan Uzbek, and won Agra. Hemu got a huge booty from this fort and went on to capture Delhi from the Mughals. The Mughals under Akbar defeated King Hemu finally at the Second Battle of Panipat in 1556.
Realizing the importance of its central situation, Akbar made it his capital and arrived in Agra in 1558. His historian, Abdul Fazal, recorded that this was a brick fort known as 'Badalgarh'. It was in a ruined condition and Akbar had it rebuilt with red sandstone from Barauli area in Rajasthan. Architects laid the foundation and it was built with bricks in the inner core with sandstone on external surfaces. Some 4,000 builders worked on it daily for eight years, completing it in 1573.
It was only during the reign of Akbar's grandson, Shah Jahan, that the site took on its current state. Legend has it that Shah Jahan built the beautiful Taj Mahal for his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Unlike his grandfather, Shah Jahan tended to have buildings made from white marble, often inlaid with gold or semi-precious gems. He destroyed some of the earlier buildings inside the fort to make his own.
At the end of his life, Shah Jahan was deposed and restrained by his son, Aurangzeb, in the fort. It is rumoured that Shah Jahan died in Muasamman Burj, a tower with a marble balcony with a view of the Taj Mahal.
The fort was invaded by the Maratha Empire during the mid 18th century. Thereafter, it changed hands between the Marathas and their foes many times. After their catastrophic defeat at Third Battle of Panipat by Ahmad Shah Abdali in 1761, Marathas remained out of the region for the next decade. Finally Mahadji Shinde took the fort in 1785. It was lost by the Marathas to the British during the Second Anglo-Maratha War, in 1803.
The fort was the site of a battle during the Indian rebellion of 1857, which caused the end of the British East India Company's rule in India, and led to a century of direct rule of India by Britain.
LAYOUT
The 380,000 m2 (94-acre) fort has a semicircular plan, its chord lies parallel to the river and its walls are seventy feet high. Double ramparts have massive circular bastions at intervals, with battlements, embrasures, machicolations and string courses. Four gates were provided on its four sides, one Khizri gate opening on to the river.
Two of the fort's gates are notable: the "Delhi Gate" and the "Lahore Gate." The Lahore Gate is also popularly also known as the "Amar Singh Gate," for Amar Singh Rathore.
The monumental Delhi Gate, which faces the city on the western side of the fort, is considered the grandest of the four gates and a masterpiece of Akbar's time. It was built circa 1568 both to enhance security and as the king's formal gate, and includes features related to both. It is embellished with inlay work in white marble. A wooden drawbridge was used to cross the moat and reach the gate from the mainland; inside, an inner gateway called Hathi Pol ("Elephant Gate") – guarded by two life-sized stone elephants with their riders – added another layer of security. The drawbridge, slight ascent, and 90-degree turn between the outer and inner gates make the entrance impregnable. During a siege, attackers would employ elephants to crush a fort's gates. Without a level, straight run-up to gather speed, however, something prevented by this layout, elephants are ineffective.
Because the Indian military (the Parachute Brigade in particular) is still using the northern portion of the Agra Fort, the Delhi Gate cannot be used by the public. Tourists enter via the Amar Singh Gate.
The site is very important in terms of architectural history. Abul Fazal recorded that five hundred buildings in the beautiful designs of Bengal and Gujarat were built in the fort. Some of them were demolished by Shahjahan to make way for his white marble palaces. Most of the others were destroyed by the British between 1803 and 1862 for raising barracks. Hardly thirty Mughal buildings have survived on the south-eastern side, facing the river. Of these, the Delhi Gate and Akbar Gate and one palace – "Bengali Mahal" – are representative Akbari buildings.
Akbar Darwazza (Akbar Gate) was renamed Amar Singh Gate by the British.

My friend & I went to find the abandoned train Ive heard about. The abandoned train was just behind the former Southern Coal washing plant, about 5-6 miles past Brushy Mountain State prison. It was cool to see, kind of creepy in a way too. Although I feel like any abandon structure gives you an eerie feeling as you imagine days past when it was functional. It was sad to see that some visitors had left their trash and obviously vandalized the train as it has sat there well over a decade.
It is an excursion train owned by the New River Scenic Railway was abandoned after the operation went belly-up. The train can be accessed off of Hwy 116 and is located behind the closed Southern Coal Corporation coal mine. It had some mechanical issues (overheating) in August 2008 and hasn't moved since. Odd since it seems it was being restored as recently as 2007.
New River Railway, a hidden gem. Through the winding foothills of Brushy Mountain, TN. Lies a large hunk of metal that once twisted through these very foothills. This rail along the New River was known as the New River railway, perfect for transporting coal from the nearby mines to a local coal wash. The Oneida-to-Devonia line dates back to 1889. The route of the historic Tennessee Railroad was from Oneida in Scott County to its terminus 42 miles south at Devonia in Anderson County.
This train owned by the New River Scenic Railway was abandon when the business failed concluding a 130 year railroad history. The railroad company is supposed to file for abandonment of the former railroad line soon and everything in that area would be sold as scrap. The track was originally constructed to serve the booming coal industry in the region in the late 19th century, but when New River Lumber Co. opened a mill in Norma, Tenn., timber was the product often shipped on the rail. Norfolk Southern purchased the route in the 1970s, and again the Tennessee Railroad was known as a coal carrier. In 1980 trains were pulling 125 cars a day. National Coal Company bought the line from Norfolk Southern in 2006 and began several mining operations, but rarely used the tracks. The Recession a few years ago was the final dagger in the line.

Little tid-bit - our North Korean "tour guides" had a passenger manifest including every tourist's full name, birth date, and nationality. At the bottom of this manifest was a special section listing out all us foreigners. Interestingly enough, my name occupied 3x the height of ALL other entries on the list. There was at least one other American on the tour, but only I got the special treatment. Suspicious, no?

Southport Pier is a Grade II listed structure in Southport, Merseyside, England. At 1,216 yards (1112 m) it is the second longest in Great Britain after Southend Pier.[1] The Southport Pier Tramway runs from Southport Promenade to the pier head (the far end of the pier).
Recent modernisation and repair of the pier formed part of a wider redevelopment strategy, including the new Marine Drive sea wall, landscaping around the pier and the new tram route, and the new £23m Ocean Plaza shopping centre - which presents a blank back wall on the seaward side. Completion was in 2002.[2]
The pier is a completely open structure, with modern railings on an older base, and a deck made of hardwood slats, affording a partial view of the sea below. Plans to restore the Victorian shelters along its length remain just plans.
The modern structure at the pier head, the Pavilion, was designed by Liverpool architects Shed KM. The building houses a cafeteria with airport style floor to ceiling windows overlooking the beach and until mid-May of 2012, a collection of vintage mechanical amusement machines, re-creating a traditional pier-end penny arcade. The former exhibition of Edwardian and Victorian machines operated on pre-decimalisation pennies, which were available to purchase on-site (£1 bought 10 old pennies) and proved very popular with locals and tourists alike
