Whizzing round the Poole Park cycle track
Did you learn to ride your bike in Poole Park? Or maybe you raced here? From its opening in 1892, the Poole Park track was the place to go for cycling in Poole. Thousands enjoyed the exhilarating track races.
Others came for fun family rides.
This track is one of the few Victorian park cycle tracks remaining: Just like today
cycling was very fashionable then. As soon as the Poole track opened, races became popular events.
'Encouraged by the frantic. Often there were 12,000 spectators.
The two main clubs were the Poole
Wheelers and Wesley Guild Cycling Club.
The Banten brothers were the local stars.
The family owned a bicycle shop and raced for Wesley Guild CC.
In the 1930s, Bill Harvell was the star rider.
He trained at Poole Park and won a Bronze Medal at the Olympic Games in 1932.
In 1933, he led the Poole Wheelers' team to victory at the National Team Pursuit Championship. Another champion was Marguerite Wilson from Bournemouth.
She became the first full-time female professional cyclist. At one point she held all 16 women's distance records.
In the 1970s and 80s, riders travelled quite a distance to compete here. It was one of the few places for mid-week racing.
Imagine racing here. The first track was gravel and cinder. In places it isn't much more than two metres wide. How did they avoid the benches and trees? Not to mention the water and spectators. Try to picture the spectacle of 30 fast and furious riders whizzing round the track.
Poole Wheelers are still an active club today, with regular rides for members of all abilities. Families also come to ride their bikes. Did you race or learn to ride your bike on the Poole Park track?

I always wanted to shoot on the tracks and so I finally managed to get my cousin pose for me.
Usually m biased towards colors but somehow I like those tracks in monochrome.
The Manhattan-bound local and center express tracks of the Pelham Line fly over the yard leads between Westchester Sq and Middletown Rd Stations. The layout of the steelwork suggests to me that at one point this was a level junction, and the flyovers were a later renovation.

Some rare track for passenger stock as Locomotive Services Limited Class 47s, 47593 "Galloway Princess" and 47853 (carrying former number 47614) lead the ECS for the following day's Statesman Rail Settle & Carlisle circular (from Scarborough) via the freight avoider lines at Crewe.
The pair of Sulzers are seen heading across Salop Goods Junction and onto the Down Manchester Independent as they make their way to stable overnight in York as 5Z39 11:48 Crewe Holding Sidings to York Holgate Siding.

We attended a celebration of life for a young man who passed suddenly, he left a small daughter and a grieving wife. The afternoon was difficult. We all should embrace life and make the most of it every moment, the end can be much closer than we think. These tracks in the parking lot could represent many things; life is confusing and directionless, life's challenges might send us off track, or if you focus on the exit things can present a clear direction.
The Wofhound Tracker is a quad-track version specialized for winter combat, built on the C405 chassis. Four tracks ensure good mobility across ice and snow, while a fully enclosed rear compartment can carry either up to three passengers, or one strecher.
Sich begegnende Spuren im Schnee – Mensch (bzw. eines seiner Fortbewegungsmittel) und Tier. An den Spuren im Schnee ist zu erkennen, wie nah Menschen und Wildtiere oftmals nebeneinander leben. Vattiz 2017.
Encountering tracks in the snow illustrate how narrow humans (respectively their means of transportation) and wild animals live next to each other. Vattiz 2017.

This interesting piece of railroad equipment was captured in Gordonsville, Virginia while it was repairing old track. The flat bed is tethered to it.
Mike Druckenbrod, now that I'm looking at this equipment again, it does not appear that it could be used on the road as the one you captured could.
Home is where the hideout is! Boy, talk about building green! These high coutry bangaloes may disappear to true green soon enough. The hillside above shouts rocks and Rocky Mountains not to mention autumn. This new series is not a replay of last year with new edits, I can always sneak out more edits of last year's work any time but not now. In later September, eDDie and Olivia grabbed me and zipped up Boulder Canyon eventually to old and new haunts. This series is from this autumn's captures. This haunted series may include more houses, unseen. These are once again at and near the Moffat tunnel through the great divide. The housing will show up again when the leaves are gone but will you be there? More than that, how will I manage even more fall excursions next year?
The employees and Station Agent (another movie title) for the East Portal of the Moffat Tunnel had short walks to work. The D&RGW RR (Dangerous & Rapidly Growing Worse RR) provided housing for him, his family and other crews allowing short walks to work. I have no idea why someone would need to drive this track to their house instead of walking the equivilent of walking a half a block. Otherwise, I can imagine stumbling around in the deep snow after the night shift, especially for that bottle that was stashed on the way to work. I bet that bottle would never freeze, being antifreeze itself! "Pure stategery," according to Boy George and all other Englishly-challenged. Boy, is Trump making Boy George look like an Einstein! I could recognize nothing of Papa George from his recent tributes. Could they find nearly enough hate to go around? Talk about Chief of Staff, he needs Stormy Daniels to sit in on his staff!
Direct transportation was readily available to Tolland, Rollinsville, Denver and the western slope towns for the odd shopping spree. Here is some housing hing in the aspen. Unfortunately the T-Rump fired all the help up here. They were only jobs. That's OK, they can grab three of Trump's wealth of jobs and still fail to make ends meet. The tunnel facade remains as it was built in the twenties.
D&RGW used to operate the tunnel and the big coal mines (before being taken over by the Koch Bros) near Somerset and Paonia on the Western Slope even though it was D&SL RR (Denver & Salt Lake RR) that inspired the tunnel after years of winter snow fighting campaigns over the Hill Division on the Continental Divide. See my recent Rollins Pass series. Coal shipments will be taking a major hit if we want to come even close to global warming commitments. Denverites were always envious of Southern Wyoming and wanted their own transcontinental route to fuel its growth. D & SL RR operated the big standard gauge Mallets over to the Western Slope and ran many trains over the divide. This shack was a curiosity probably built to accompany the tunnel. It sat in a meadow to the north side of the portal and it caught my eye. My walk turned back toward the portal so I figure it was probably used for the crews that operated the portal in the early days before total automation and all the Magic Underwear shipments to Salt Lake blessed by the Holy Ghost. The crew probably would be ill advised to tip a few before heading home, especially at night! I wonder how soggy the meadow got in the past years.
