Some of you may have seen this photo in a different format.
Back when I worked for the Soo/CP they asked me for some photos for the cover of thier timetable. I gave them a bunch to choose from and the US rule team selected this one. It was published on the timetable with little fanfare. Or so I thought. I came to find out that the "Leadership" in Calgary did not like the fact the bridge said "Soo Line" on it and were upset. Heavan forbid a little nod to history. This was during the "Hey we are CP, and it will ONLY be CP" era. Hey, I didn't make the call on using the photo. I know the guy who did, and he had balls of steel. Great guy too! It blew over after a bit, and I got many great acknowledgments from other employees who liked it. To this day, I get a good laugh out of it.
It's also weird to me, to see this timetable show up on eBay from time to time. Hey, if you buy one, I'll sign it for you!

-----------------------------------
I stopped by the Amtrak station to pick up a train and bus schedule for this assignment.
Whilst the rest of the country basked in glorious sunshine parts of the Yorkshire coast was under a sea fog or locally known as sea fret. Sadly, it did not lift. It was a bit disappointing as it was my first visit here in 5 years!!!

Top things to do in Summer
1.Experience the sights, sounds and smells of the miraculous seabird spectacle at the peak of the breeding season
2.The surrounding fields are bejewelled by glorious red campion flowers
3.Enjoy a bite to eat in the family-friendly picnic area
www.rspb.org.uk/reserves/guide/b/bemptoncliffs/about.aspx
A family favourite, and easily the best place in England to see, hear and smell seabirds! More than 200,000 birds (from April to August) make the cliffs seem alive – with adults bringing food to their nests, or young chicks making their first faltering flights.
With huge numbers to watch, beginners can easily learn the difference between gannets, guillemots, razorbills, kittiwakes and fulmars. The easily recognisable puffins (here between April and July) are always a delight. Specially-created cliff top viewpoints are wheelchair accessible with care.
You can watch our 200,000 seabirds LIVE on CCTV through the breeding season from March to October. Meet our information assistants and hear about the live action, watch it for yourself on our two TV screens and enjoy the close-up images of our nesting gannets.
Opening times
The reserve is open at all times. From March to October, the visitor centre is open daily from 9.30 am to 5 pm, and from November to February, 9.30 am to 4 pm.
Entrance charges
Entry is free of charge to members all year. There's a charge for non-members of £5 per car, minibus £8 and coach £10.
If you are new to birdwatching...
The birds are easy to see during breeding season - creating a fantastic seascape and bird spectacle. Only eight target seabird species breed here, so learning to identify birds is simple. In winter, common passerines (buntings, sparrows and finches) and short-eared owls (vary in numbers from one year to next) can be seen and identified.
Information for families
Reserve already popular with families. Various family events included in our programme throughout the year. Backpack Activity days very popular.
Information for dog owners
Dogs are welcome on the reserve, however they must be kept on leads at all times. This is to ensure that ground nesting birds are not disturbed, and also to ensure the safety of dogs on the cliff top.

Star species
Our star species are some of the most interesting birds you may see on your visit to the reserve.
Gannet
Look for stunning gannets cruising around at the base of the cliffs and fishing out to sea by rising up into the air before plunging in headfirst with their wings close.
Kittiwake
Visit Bempton in spring and early summer and your ears will be filled with the unmistakable 'kitti-wake' calls of this dainty gull. Look along the cliffs to see them packed onto their tiny nesting ledges.
Puffin
Enjoy the comical antics of puffins in spring and early summer from the viewing points on the cliffs. Watch the adults returning from fishing forays at sea with sandeels hanging from their colourful beaks.
Short-eared owl
Short-eared owls can be seen hunting over the clifftop grassland here in winter. The afternoons are a good time to spot them banking and gliding just above the ground; their piercing yellow eyes scanning for voles moving in the grass below.
Tree sparrow
Flocks of tree sparrows can be seen in the cliff top fields and are regular visitors to the feeding stations. Listen out for their conversational calls - a hard and piercing 'tek'.

Seasonal highlights
Each season brings a different experience at our nature reserves. In spring, the air is filled with birdsong as they compete to establish territories and attract a mate. In summer, look out for young birds making their first venture into the outside world. Autumn brings large movements of migrating birds - some heading south to a warmer climate, others seeking refuge in the UK from the cold Arctic winter. In winter, look out for large flocks of birds gathering to feed, or flying at dusk to form large roosts to keep warm.
Spring
Breeding seabirds start to return, including gannets, puffins, guillemots, razorbills, fulmars, kittiwakes, herring gulls and shags. Farmland birds such as skylarks, tree sparrows, linnets, meadow pipits, reed and corn buntings can be seen. There are normally short-eared owls and peregrines to be seen too. Migratory birds include arriving wheatears and various warblers, while over-wintering thrushes can be seen on the reserve before moving back into mainland Europe. Porpoises can often be seen on calm days while early morning visits may provide sightings of roe deer.
Summer
Breeding season is in full swing with all 200,000 seabirds with eggs or chicks. Breeding tree sparrows, whitethroats, grasshopper warblers, sedge warblers, skylarks, linnets, reed buntings, rock and meadow pipits can be seen within 200 m of the visitor centre and car park. A moderate range of the commoner butterflies may be seen on sunny days, along with day-flying moths such as cinnabars, burnet moths and occasionally hummingbird hawk-moths. Trailside flora is dominated by red campion, black knapweed, various thistles and orchids including common spotted, northern marsh and pyramidal.
Autumn
All seabirds departed and breeding finished except for gannets. The autumnal migration can be exciting at Bempton owing to its coastal location and being on a headland. Short-eared owls begin to arrive to stay for the winter (depending on food availability) but the main interest is in the arrival of migrants such as willow warblers, chiffchaffs, whitethroats, lesser whitethroats, reed warblers, sedge warblers, goldcrests, stonechats, whinchats, wheatears and redstarts. Scarce species occur annually such as red-backed shrikes, and barred and icterine warblers. October is peak time to witness the winter thrush arrival, often hundreds of redwings, blackbirds, song thrushes and fieldfares occur along with occasional ring ouzels. Offshore, movements of seabirds may be seen in ideal weather conditions (strong NW winds). These include Manx and sooty shearwaters, Arctic and great skuas. Around the car park area migrant hawker and common darter dragonflies can be seen. There is little botanical interest at this time of year.
Winter
This is normally a quiet time of year. Bracing clifftop walks and fantastic seascapes are probably the best in Yorkshire. Up to 12 short-eared owls winter here, though in poor 'vole' years there may only be a few. The bird feeding station offers food and shelter to a range of commoner species such as tree sparrows (110 have been counted), greenfinch (60), and smaller numbers of blackbirds, robins, dunnocks, wrens, chaffinches, bramblings and various tit species. The cliff face attracts very few birds except for occasional herring gulls and fulmars, but by January gannets will return in good numbers with occasional days of guillemots in good numbers too.

Management
Our Bempton Cliffs reserve, on the Yorkshire coast, protects over five kilometres of sea cliffs. From April to mid-August, these support England's largest population of seabirds. Grassland and scrub along the cliff tops are also home to breeding and wintering farmland birds.
The RSPB is managing the reserve for the benefit of its wildlife, which also includes seals and porpoises, and with a long-term view to upgrading its protection status.
Cliff-face communities
Bempton's breeding seabirds are internationally important, making the cliffs both a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Protection Area.
Species include kittiwakes, gannets, guillemot, razorbills and puffins. We have specific targets for every one: for instance, we would like to maintain a yearly kittiwake population of 43,000 nesting pairs, producing at least one young each.
During the breeding season, our cliff-top patrols help prevent disturbance by visitors and fishermen.
Leading by example
Unfortunately seabird colonies are vulnerable to environmental threats that lie beyond our control. These include climate change and industrial fishing, which affect the birds' food supplies. We aim to use Bempton to highlight these issues, so that key decision makers will take action to safeguard the long-term future of seabirds. We hope this will lead to Bempton being designated a marine Special Conservation Area.
Room at the top
The grassland and scrub at the top of the cliffs are home to farmland birds such as tree sparrows, skylarks and linnets. Short-eared owls also spend winter here.
We are cutting back scrub and harrowing grassland in order to increase the population of insects and small mammals on which all these birds feed. We also put out extra food when necessary.
Vision for visitors
The seabird spectacle at Bempton makes the reserve very popular during summer, while the farmland birds help generate interest all-year-round. We aim to continue attracting and educating people, and inspiring them to support the marine environment.
Our facilities currently include a shop, picnic area and cliff top walks. We aim to develop these, with a view to increasing numbers to 60,000 visitors per annum over the next five years.
Tracking gannets
For the first time, we're finding out where Bempton's gannets go when they're away from the colony.
RSPB scientists have fitted satellite tags to a number of adult gannets so that we can monitor where they go to catch fish. The tags are designed so that they don't hurt or hinder the birds, and they will eventually fall off when the gannets grow new tail feathers, if not sooner.
We need to find out whether the birds are using areas which the government has earmarked as potential wind farms, and how that might affect them. This information will be used to help plan where to put wind turbines at sea.
What we're doing
•Fourteen adult gannets were fitted with satellite tags in July 2010 (and another 13 in July 2011)
•In 2010 we got data from all 14 tags during the time when the gannets were rearing their chicks, and several kept transmitting data late into the breeding season
•The highest density of recorded locations at sea was within 31-62 miles (50-100 km) of Bempton Cliffs
•The greatest overlap with any of the proposed wind farm areas was with the Hornsea zone, which is nearest to Bempton
•These results are from just one breeding season, so it's unclear just how representative they are of what Bempton's gannets do. We'll monitor them again in future breeding seasons to learn more.
You can find out more about this work on the gannet tracking project page.
The Charity movement is wonderful picking up so much that the State once did. This Charity is one which I do support because of the wonderful work they do.
The title came to me as I took the picture because none of us will dodge the end. Fortunately for me I know life does not end as we die having experienced death as a child. Fortunately, the medical team in the operation managed to get me going again. Without going into too many details, to this day I can clearly remember looking down over the lights in the operating room at an age one does not normally remember things. I was experiencing no pain or fear but just looked down. The operation was successful, but it is a miracle that I am still here.
This photography is vehicle to tell of my experiences and this picture bought it back into my mind. It does not matter in the least if you do not believe me, but the picture did provoke these memories again whether real or fantasy.

I recently bought a new, larger bookcase to house my collection of All-Line timetables dating back to 1974. Placing them in the new bookcase, I couldn’t but help notice the traditional old-fashioned covers, which depicted the latest motive power, unlike the later versions, which avoided pictures of trains. The May 1977 edition proudly celebrates the introduction of the full high-speed timetable on the Western Region. Now that HSTs are finally being replaced by the IEP trains, it seems appropriate to share this memento from yesteryear.
First West of England Hengrove based 33110 SK19 EOX is seen leaving Temple Meads working an A1 towards Bristol Airport, 3 of these were acquired for the A1 PVR uplift and 33110 is so far the only one to enter service. Displaced in glasgow by their latest electroliners.

Writing things down can certainly clear your mind and let you see things in a different, clearer way. Digital notes could never do the same for me what writing things down does!

I was driving from Scalby via Sleights to Grosmont to pick up a footplate jacket from the Shed Shop when the level crossing lights started to flash and the barrier came down. I hadn't looked at the NYMR timetable so didn't know what to expect but I was in pole position even though it was raining.
I was very pleasantly surprised when British Railways Standard 4 2-6-0 76079 passed tender-first with a train to Whitby on this Network Rail, and hence main line, stretch. It could have so easily been a Class 156 dmu from Middlesbrough!!

The driver of 37142 was (I guess) speaking to Gloucester Panel, his train having been directed into the Up Loop at Bromsgrove. The train was on the timing path of 6M03, one of the two timetabled Austin Rover, Swindon to Longbridge, Birmingham car panel trains. That said, in view of the conditions, it could well have been the previous evening's working running very late!. The Class 37/0 was soon uncoupled and departed light engine, leaving the vans to be collected by the more usual Class 47/0 traction, that in turn was assisted up the Lickey Incline by a banking locomotive.

First Aberdeen have registered short notice changes to service 20 from tomorrow that see the Balnagask bound buses avoid Union St and instead return to Union Terrace. It is rare for a service to change with only a few days notice but the operator has evidently convinced the traffic commissioner that the service punctuality is being impacted by the congestion within the city centre. As well as changing the route there is a revised timetable with reduced running time southbound and increased running time in return northbound with layover time reduced. 63213 seen here on the last day of the Union St 20 for Balnagask.
Meanwhile Stagecoach Bluebird have announced consutation to proposed service changes that would see the withdrawal of the 62 Sunday service, 53607 seen here obliging on a Sunday 62A.
