The tracks made by heavy machinery have filled with rain. Ruins at the old Rectory, Henbury, Bristol
It snowed another inch last night in the district. I wanted to take advantage of the fresh snow fall - like a powder skier lusts for first tracks.... this is what I found this morning. I stumbled on some cat tracks that meandered its way to the Washington Monument. I shot for twenty minutes this morning, had to run from the Tidal Basin parking lot to capture this in the days first light.... almost slept in!

Track 4 is the gateway to the Seaview Railroad's yard in West Davisville. It also provides a good vantage point for photographs of the action on the North East Corridor. Here a MBTA commuter train heads North through Davisville. 1/8/2014. Taken by railroad employee on railroad property.
I was tempted to lighten this to bring out the landscape but felt I would lose the impact of the sky which I like,so I left it.....
Taken in Plzen, CZ . In the 19th century on these tracks, trains full with beer were leaving the Pilsner Urquell factory . One interesting fact is that during summer the wagons had double walls and between the walls ice was put to keep the beer at the same temperature as in the factory's cellar till the wagons were reaching the destination (usually pubs) .
The railroad tracks shown above near Nome, Texas are part of a railroad first envisioned by a group of ambitious investors and dreamers in the boom times before the US civil war. Their dream was a railroad linking 2 important commercial centers, New Orleans Louisiana and Galveston Texas. The rail line would become the Texas and New Orleans Railroad and it was one of the antebellum railroads of Texas. It was chartered on September 1, 1856, as the Sabine and Galveston Bay Railroad and Lumber Company, for the purpose of constructing a railroad from Madison (now Orange) in Orange County to the tidewater of Galveston Bay. The capital stock was originally set at $2 million, and the organizational meeting of the company was required to be held at Liberty, Texas. The incorporators of the railroad included William Fields, Abram M. Gentry, William P. Herring, George W. Smyth, and William Smith. Gentry became the first president of the company. Groundbreaking for the railroad was held at Houston on August 27, 1857, and active construction began in mid-April 1858. However, work was shortly transferred to Beaumont, and the railroad was built both east and west from that point. By this time it was evident that the promoters of the line envisioned the railroad as part of a system connecting Houston with New Orleans. On November 1, 1858, the Sabine and Galveston Bay Railroad and Lumber Company issued land grant mortgage bonds totaling $1.5 million and bearing an interest rate of 8 percent. The following year rails and equipment were ordered, and by January 1860 thirty miles were graded and twelve miles of track laid west from Beaumont. On December 24, 1859, the name of the railroad was changed to the Texas and New Orleans Railroad Company. Earlier that year, on March 17, the Sabine and Galveston Bay Railroad and Lumber Company received a charter from Louisiana to build from the Sabine River to New Iberia. This charter also granted the Louisiana Division the right to accept any act of the Texas legislature changing the name of the original company to the Texas and New Orleans Railroad Company.
By January 1861 the railroad had constructed eighty-one miles west from Beaumont and the line was completed to Houston in May just as hostilities between the North and South broke out and the Civil War started in earnest. On May 1, 1862, Gentry stated that the 110-mile line was open from Houston to Orange, but that some of the rails had been laid temporarily for military transportation needs. The railroad was used extensively as a Confederate supply line, and about 1,000 soldiers were assigned to protect it and to keep it operating during the war. Scheduled service was operated from Houston to Orange from 1862 to mid-1863 and irregular service until early 1864. The completion of a line between New Orleans and Texas was a high priority of the Confederate government, and work continued on the Louisiana Division during the early months of the Civil War. However, the capture of New Orleans ended all attempts to build across Louisiana. Various secondary sources indicate that General John Bankhead Magruder took up the twenty miles of track between Beaumont and Orange for use as fortifications or for other military purposes. However, an inspection of the property in 1870 as part of the court case Charles Moran et al. v. the Texas and New Orleans Railroad et al., reported that the rails east of the Neches were still in place.
Although the Trinity River Bridge washed out in 1867, the Texas and New Orleans continued to offer service between Houston and Beaumont until May 1868, when all operations were discontinued. The bondholders forced the company into receivership with Judge Josiah F. Crosby named receiver in January 1869. During 1870 the forty-two miles between Houston and West Liberty was rehabilitated and the railroad reopened between those two points on June 14. However, even this limited operation ended on March 1, 1871. The Texas and New Orleans was subsequently sold in two segments. The line between Liberty and Orange was sold on May 1, 1871, while the section between Houston and Liberty was sold on October 8, 1872. The purchaser at both sales was John F. Terry of the New York banking firm of J. S. Kennedy and Company. A new company, the Texas and New Orleans Railroad Company of 1874, was organized under the original charter on July 16, 1875. Terry was named president, Crosby vice president, and T. W. House treasurer of the new organization. Work on rehabilitating the railroad began the following month, and the first through train from Houston to Orange over the reconstructed Texas and New Orleans ran on November 20, 1876. During the rebuilding of the railroad, the track was converted from state gauge of sixty-six inches to the standard gauge of 56½ inches. In 1878 the Texas and New Orleans, the Morgan's Louisiana and Texas Railroad and Steamship Company, and the Louisiana Western Railroad Company reached an agreement to finally complete a line between Houston and New Orleans. A fourth company, the Louisiana Western Extension Railroad Company, was chartered in Texas to build from Orange to the Louisiana boundary. The first through scheduled train left Houston for New Orleans on August 30, 1880, over what became known as the Star and Crescent Route. Although it had taken nearly a quarter of a century, the dreams of the early backers of the Texas and New Orleans for a route between Houston and the Crescent City had finally been fulfilled.
In 1881 C. P. Huntington, acting for the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, bought the Texas and New Orleans and Louisiana Western. Huntington also acquired an interest in the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio Railway Company. With the completion of the latter company's line across West Texas in January 1883 and the acquisition of the Morgan Line a few months later, the Southern Pacific owned or controlled a system of railroads extending from San Francisco to New Orleans. As a result, the Texas and New Orleans also found itself as part of a major transcontinental route, which fulfilled another dream of its original backers. In 1882 the Texas and New Orleans reported passenger earnings of $235,000 and freight earnings of $1.3 million; it owned thirty-six locomotives and 1,797 cars.
After the discovery of oil in South east Texasthe Southern Pacific opened seven miles of track between Nome and Sour Lake ( a major oil field) in 1903 and built a short 3½ mile branch into Port Arthur in 1908. There were several oil strikes in the Beaumont-Port Arthur area.

Longbowsnyper and were getting ready Saturday to ride at the Ed Rudolph Velodrome in Northbrook, IL. This is a closeup of my Cervelo T1 track bike with longbowsnyper in the background. I am lerning what the 50mm lens for the RB67 can do.
Photographed on Portra 160VC (Expired 2008, but refrigerated) using a Mamiya RB67 with the 50mm lens. Exposure by Suny 16.
I spent an entire day taking photos, and sat here dead tired waiting for my train home. Of course it was delayed, but not by more than ten minutes or so.

This is the old steam train track of Eerbeek, it Runs from Apeldoorn to Dieren and is still used, mainly in the summer for a recreational steam train.
I attended the annual Chico Multi-event Classic at Chico State where decathlon and heptathlon track and field events for men and women were held over a 2-day period. This is one of the photos taken during the event. It was shot with Nikon D750 + either 80-200 f/2.8 or 24-120 f/4.
