Activities on Friday, August 5th, included a tour of the AAI Plant where the current model Mustangs are built. The highlight of the day was driving our Bosses on the AAI test track .
Just around 4:00pm this short BNSF track geo. train sped through Augusta, KS on the Emporia sub transcon. Unexpectedly, BNSF 279, a repainted SD75I was on point with an excellent K3HA.
You know what I mean, you find this interesting looking track. "you bloody beauty" you think, this must go somewhere.So off you go, lugging your camera gear, full off expectation as to the fabulous panoramic scenes that will just amaze you at the end of the track.Never mind the heat and humidity, never mind the flies that feed on your perspiration and blood supply,never mind the shortness of breath and rocky uneven surface making it difficult to walk without tripping.How much further you think, can't be far now..
And then..you reach the end..'you ripper ' you yell..And there before you a vision splendid..Nothing, not a bloody thing..not even an interesting looking tree..So after a moment or six to catch your breath you turn and retrace your steps..how far have I come..can't be far....
Metro's major track replacement work continues. A ballast train with the roadrailer tractor in the middle of the formation occupies the Out line at Cullercoats.
I'm a Rainbow tracking trekker, spirits are high when the colour surge begins to merge but as it reaches the pinnacle, the zenith point when full intensity beams delight the scene, does it start to dissipate and before too long there is nothing there, nothing but a memory and a surge of dopamine to spur me on.
Edited Trace Gas Explorer image of dust devil tracks on Mars.
Original caption: This remarkable image was taken in the Terra Sabaea region of Mars, west of Augakuh Vallis, by the Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System (CaSSIS) onboard the ESA-Roscosmos ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter. This mysterious pattern sits on the crest of a ridge, and is thought to be the result of dust devil activity – essentially the convergence of hundreds or maybe even thousands of smaller martian tornadoes.
This image is a colour-composite representation where features that are bluer compared to the average colour of Mars are shown in bright blue hues. In actual colour, the streaks would appear dark red. Dust devils churn up the surface material, exposing fresher material below.
The reason why the streaks are so concentrated on the ridges is not known at present, but a relationship to orographic lift as masses of carbon dioxide air flow uphill and converge with other air masses is one possibility.
The image was taken on 8 February 2019 and is centred at 26.36ºN/56.96ºE. North is up.

End of track, Marcola Branch. The rails are still in place, overgrown and unused, another quarter mile or so beyond this point.
Replacement of tram tracks between Little Bourke Street and Little Lonsdale Street. The existing tracks were set in mass concrete which required removal.

Looking North towards Grimsby town, and taken somewhere near the YMCA, just before the track was lifted in the early 80s.
