1T86 Inverness to Perth. Turbo at the top. Class 170 Turbostar in Scotrail Saltire livery heads south on the HML seen here south of Dalwhinnie, caresting the Summit at Drumochter (it's all down hill from here) working a service to Perth.

The summit Cairn of the Munro Cairn of Claise and the wall which marked the old county boundary.
This bike trip takes me to the summits of two Munro's, Carn an Tuirc & Cairn of Claise. Carn an Tuirc is at a height of 1018 meters (3339 feet), while Cairn of Claise is sightly higher at 1062 meters (3484 feet). It took me four hours to drag myself (and my bike) up there, but because of the bike, it took less than an hour to get back to the car. Total distance covered was 26.5 kilometers (16.5 miles) and starting at 370 meters, I had an altitude gain of over 700 meters (2296+ feet) - that was a big one!!

The 10,221-foot-high summit of the former Rio Grande main line over Tennessee Pass sits quiet and rusty today, with heavy trains no longer grinding through the lofty 2,550-foot tunnel beneath the Continental Divide. Still “railbanked” by Union Pacific more than twenty years since the last passage of a train, the future of the route still hangs in a precarious balance. In this view looking at the west switch of Tennessee Pass siding, I’m not sure which I find more disturbing—the graffiti on buildings at this remote mountain location, or the decapitated signals that will never highball another train.
1E13 Inverness to Doncaster (normally London Kings Cross but due to engineering works only as far as Donny) Class 800 bi-mode Azuma in LNER livery heads south on the HML seen here having just crested the summit at Drumochter on a glorious summers morning (pole shot).
From the summit of Derry Cairngorm, at the cairn its top, we can see over in the distance the rocky tors that mark the summit of Beinn Mheadhoin, a Munro I did a couple of years ago. The deep Glen Derry is to the right and it's from there I have climbed to gain this altitude. Was it worth it? Damned straight it was!!
Derry Cairngorm is my first Munro I have bagged this season, my 24th in total, and stands at 1155 meters (3789 feet). This trip sees me covering approximately 20 miles by Bike & Hike and gaining 2682 feet in elevation, after setting off from the Linn of Dee outside Braemar.
Eastbound tonnage crests the grade at Gulf Summit, New York. The train, which was minutes before crossing Starrucca Viaduct, will now descend to deposit, New York, and then follow the Delaware River all the way to Port Jervis. If the long-abandoned operator shanty is still there, it is buried in vegetation which has encroached onto the now-removed near track.
The obligatory selfie at the summit of a Munro, this time it's An Socach, with the beautiful snow capped Cairngorm Mountains as a backdrop.
After a few test runs and weeks of chiropractic care on my back, it's finally time to start the climbing season with a climb up An Socach. An Socach (pronounced An S-Oh-Ack) is my 17th Munro and stands at 944 meters (3097 feet), and although not the longest of climbs parts of it are very steep.
Like the nearby Ben Lomond, the summit of Mount Barrow consists of several peaks that rise above a large plateau. These plateaus were carved by glacial activity before the end of the last ice age around 14,000 years ago. One of the features of infrared landscapes is that we tend to lose a lot of the depth perspective. But you can still enlarge this and look around at the detail.
The darkness concealed everything but the stars in the sky. Then the moon started to raise and we silently watch as its light danced on the snowy summit of Mount Rainier in the distance.

After bad weather, luckily we could enjoy a fantastic day to climb the Elbrus' summit. We woke up at 1:00 am at Barrels Camp. After a quickly breakfast we went with a ratrac to Pastukhov rocks (4600 metres) and following we began to climb up to the summit.
The day began wonderful, the weather was absolutely perfect.
Five elephant-style Delaware & Hudson EMD’s and a contrarian Conrail B23-7 lead a northbound D&H train through Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania. The front of the train has just crested the heavy grade out of Scranton, and will have an easier time the rest of the way to Binghamton. The bridge in the background is the final one on the Pennsylvania Turnpike’s Northeast Extension.
Such a beautiful morning on Mt. Evans! We left at 4 a.m. to get up the mountain for a sunrise shot. I had scouted out another site, but the flowers there had wilted, and the mountains to the west were hazy. So it was back to Summit Lake to try there. We weren't disappointed. Calm mornings are not typical, so such a nice reflection was a bonus!
Deloitte Summit is a 24-storey office tower in downtown Vancouver made up of several clusters of four-storey steel-framed cubes stacked on top of each other to create a sculptural effect.
A southbound Illinois Terminal Belt (ITB) loaded grain train crests a small hill just south of Heyworth, IL on a dreary spring day. "It's all downhill from here boys!"
The ITB was officially approved for start up in October 2019 and runs between Clinton and Heyworth on a leased 11 mile portion of Illinois Central's original Charter Line, the "Mainline of Mid America." Power is MRIX GP10s 8317 and 8344, and MP15AC 1477. The grain will be interchanged with CN at Clinton.
On the left, the pole line marks the former right of way for the Illinois Terminal.
