One last shot from the most recent big snow, which dumped over six inches on the city. This was taken at the Park On The River, in Maumelle, Arkansas. The tracks are from a guy who drove through on a 4-wheeler. He parked down the hill, to the right of the shot, and played in the snow with his dog.

The eurypterids, or sea scorpions, are an extinct group of chelicerate arthropods. They have an elongated, scorpion-like body that could reach enormous sizes (2.5 to 3 meters!), with a nonmineralizing exoskeleton composed of chitinous material. They are generally found in shallow to very shallow water marine and marginal marine facies.

A weathered sign clearly marks the end of a track, mounted on a sturdy wooden frame against a backdrop of rugged limestone cliffs. A series of bright red plastic strips hangs from the bottom of the sign, creating a bold visual barrier. This scene, captured near Llandudno, Conwy, highlights the stark contrast between the industrial warning and the natural mountain landscape.
There is something sad about the sight of rails that lead nowhere . Near Ilkeston the Stanton New Works was well and truly dead and gone on the 1984 sunday when the picture was taken.
Hitherto - and through many decades - its workers had assumed that their workplace would continue forever !
Sitting in the employee parking lot when I was there today. This section looks like it was from what was in the station. So, at this point, I'd assume it is all down and mostly sent, or on it's way to Pennsylvania.
Also, as I was taking these, the truck driver actually gets out and confronts me about taking pictures of the track piece and why I was, granted I was on private property, but what does it matter? He sure changed his tune when I told him I am an employee of the park. I don't see what the big deal was....
