White plastic light switches, probably installed when the Coach house was converted to a home, in 1968. Though they look a little more modern so possibly updated in the 1990's with a rewire. The fusebox looks more modern than 1968

Looking south-east towards the center of High Springs on the last remaining stretch of the Atlantic Coast Line run between Alachua and Live Oak. Branching off to the left is a siding that rejoins the main track a little further up behind where I'm standing. Curving off to the right is the track to Newberry, also ex-Atlantic Coast Line and also ex-CSX since being taken over by the Florida Northern Railroad. The disused siding branching off to the right with the derelict Chessie System car on it continues parallel to the main track some distance, although overgrown, almost to the Golden Peanut Company, which is in the distance to the right of the track (peanut truck just visible in the distance) almost in the center of High Springs. Locos taking freight to or from Prime Conduit 1.75 miles in the distance must come up the track to where I'm standing to switch onto the Newberry line and the rest of the Florida Northern track and ultimately to connect with CSX. The High Springs branch was entirely devoid of motive power on this particular day - the tell-tale position of the points shows the loco usually working this track had gone off to Newberry.
I came across this at a local thrift store. I wonder which is the important light switch and what will go off?
All of the light switches - whether in my hotel or in the office - are toggle switches. But unlike in the USA, you have to flip them down to turn on the lights (opposite of what I'm used to back home). In the hotel, the lights will only work after I insert the keycard into the "magic slot"
This model is a HO scale Athearn MP15 lettered for Union Pacific road #UPY1072.The unit is lightly weathered with the underframe painted and weathered a grimy black. Kadee #5 couplers installed front and back. This unit is DC..... and DCC ready!
Parking in England always seemed like a problem, but as it turns out, there is a solution.
Unfortunately, not many people seem to have switched on to the solution.
The switch at Nugget looking like it has not been used and may not even be in service at this point.

A switch panel found inside the kitchen of the Buckner Building. It would appear that an electrician is needed to make this work again.
--A bit of building info--
Once the largest building in Alaska, it was built by the military to house nearly every resident of the port town of Whittier, Alaska. It was designed to be a "city under one roof" and includes everything a "normal" city would have; Theater, Medical Ward, Cafeteria, Staterooms, and of course a jail... The town of Whittier is built around the ice-free port that houses more boats than it does people. Boasting a population of less than 300 people, Whittier is a modern day ghost town. In 1964 a 9.2 magnitude earthquake ripped the small city apart, killing 14 people and deeming the Buckner building unsafe.
Laced with asbestos, mold, mildew and various walking hazards, the building has remained an abandoned wasteland. All 5 floors are flooded from the melting of Whittier's average 253" of snow, leaving all floors an ice skating rink in the winter. Calcium deposits hang from the ceiling in the form of stalactites, graffiti and spray paint cover most of the walls, and almost every room has been hit with some form of a bat or axe.

These are parts of the switch control system for the little hump yard in Springfield yard. They are variable resistors for all of the switches that can be thrown by the operator in the hump tower.
This is a photograph from both of the races in the 8th annual Longwood Village 10KM and 5KM Road Races and Fun Runs which were held in Longwood Village, Longwood, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 22nd October 2017 at 11:00. The races are held annually to support the development of the local GAA club while also supporting local charities. The race has support from Trim AC which sees the race have full AAI premit status. These races have grown steadily over the years and this year almost 400 participants to part in the two races. This is an impressive statistic given that a very large number of local runners will be preparing for the Dublin City marathon 7 days from now. However both races provide marathon runners and all other runners, joggers and walkers with an ideal opportunity to race on a very fair course in a beautiful rural setting. Barry Clarke of Longwood GAA and Trim AC and his very large group of volunteers deserve the highest of praise for the very high standard of organisation immediately apparent to anyone taking part in the race. Overall the whole day was a great success with the hard work put in by the organising committee ensuring that participants enjoyed their race experience. Both routes were accurately measured, kilometer points clearly marked, junctions well stewarded, and electronic timing provided. The event provided many local runners, joggers, fun runners and walkers with a local event to support whilst at the same time providing runners preparing for events such as the Dublin marathon with an opportunity to race a short, fast, distance in the lead up to marathon day. The GAA club provided excellent stewarding and traffic management all around the course. The race had a professional feel to it and it is sure to grow next year given the very positive feedback from many of the participants today. The weather in the week leading up to the race was hardly ideal with both Storm Ophelia and Storm Brian bringing windy and rainy conditions to Ireland all week. The weather for race day was more suitable for running. Dry, with a fresh breeze, the weather remained dry for both races with the sun making an appearance also.
We have an extensive set of photographs from all of the races today in the following Flickr Album: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157661720601468

Longwood is a small village in South East Co. Meath and is close to the town of Enfield with access to the M4 Motorway.
5KM Course: The 5KM started in Longwood village. Runners then took a left turn in the Village down St. Oliver's Road. This straight section of road brings runners to a left turn onto a very well maintained boreen road for less than one kilometer. The race then emerges and joins with the 10KM at Stoneyford where the runners take a left and then another left before arriving back at the finish line in Longwood GAA club. Overall this is a very fast and flat 5KM with no hills to speak of.
10KM Course: The 10KM event begins in Longwood Village outside Dargan's Pub and proceeds westward out of the village. There are some interesting points along this part of the course. At the 2KM point the runners will run under the double bridges - an aquaduct for the Royal Canal and a bridge carrying the Dublin Sligo Railway line. The race then enters county Kildare just before the 3km and after taking a right turn at the four-cross roads known locally as Lally's Cross it returns to County Meath on top of the River Boyne Bridge (Ashfield Bridge) which forms the county boundary. The race follows a straight road for the next 2KM until runners encounter Blackshade bridge which is the toughest climb on the route. As a point of interest Blackshade bridge brings runners back over the Royal Canal and the Railway line. The race then crosses the River Boyne again at Stoneyford before taking a right which will bring runners on a testing two kilometer stretch with some short hills. The 10KM course then joins with the 5Km course for the final 1.5KM back to Longwood GAA club for the finish.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
After I made the switch plate cover, I realized I really needed to fill in the black gaps. So I also made little polymer clay "bricks" to go above & below the switch plate cover.
Update: Blogged here
My Dashboard after last night's bit of excitement. Turned on the fan switch for the air-conditioning and it felt kinda crunchy, then there was smoke followed by flames followed by four firemen hosing it down. I have to call the insurance company today to find out what happens from here. Kinda shaken up, just glad it happened less than two blocks from home.
