As the Mojave Desert blooms with wildflowers, NS 4393 west (MWCST) has been put away at Ansel for one east. That eastbound, UP 8628 (MRVLA), rattles the west switch at Ansel as it continues down grade towards the floor of the Antelope Valley.

SAXLEHNER`S BITTERQUELLE HUNYADI JANOS

Eine alte Grünglasflasche aus der Zeit um 1900 mit einer erhabenen Bodenprägung. Die Flasche war mit einem Heilwasser gefüllt, das in der Nähe von Budapest der Erde entspringt. Das Wasser enthält einen hohen Anteil Magnesiumsulfat - ein bitter schmeckendes Salz mit abführender Wirkung, daher die Bezeichnung Bitterquelle.

Der Eigner der Quellen war ein Andreas Saxlehner, der das Wasser in umfangreichen Fabrikanlagen in Flaschen abfüllte

und zum Versand in die ganze Welt brachte. Das Wasser war markenmäßig benannt nach Hunyadi Janos, einem ungarischen Staatsmann und Heerführer im Mittelalter.

Das Wasser wird seit 1863 vermarktet und ist auch heute noch im Handel.

In your face view of the UP 6941 East at MP 26.5 on the UP Kansas Sub. I should be out repeating this scene this AM, but the duties of moving my oldest kid out of the house and off my payroll is greater.

It still 16:15 (UK time) but I'm very sleepy and i have so much to do

the second day we walked from Stonethwaite up my favourite Langstrath to Esk Hause and Great End, and back via Seathwaite, a good 15 miles.

Cloud caps on the highest hills stopped much photography, but there was some nice lighting lower down; here at the bottom of the Stake Pass

"Do you mind if I take a picture of your van?"

"Oh yeah, man, go ahead. You'll have to be quick though because I have to go pick my kid up from school. This thing is a BUS not a van!"

Haha, awesome dude.

Final one for the week and still out of newer stuff, but might make an effort at some point this weekend to take some photos. I posted a little stocking flash on Wednesday but thought as it's Friday might as well go the whole hog to celebrate the oncoming weekend. Have a good one all whatever you're up to 💋

The equipment move for the George H.W. Bush funeral train departed Council Bluffs on Sunday morning December 2, two days after his passing. 'Spirit of Union Pacific' 1943 had the honors of running the passenger cars down towards Spring, TX; where the funeral train would begin on Thursday December 6th.

As luck would have it, a winter storm brought about 6 inches of snow to the area during the wee hours of the morning. Some lingering flurries fall as the special passes the elevator at Murray, Nebraska. As you can see by the snow still on the railhead ahead of 1943, the railroad had been cleared off to give way for this most important of moves.

AC and DC GEVO's (CN 2876 & CN 2266) lead CN 369 as it passes CN 120 on a busy morning on the Kingston Sub. Up front are three aluminum cars, with more further back.

Looking up from my book, I saw these lovely clouds during my lunch break.

While searching for UP 1943, which is supposed to be leading a westbound oil train out of Denver later in the day, I came across this old UP SD60M! It was originally delivered as UP 6337 in September 1992. What is the fate of the unit? My guess would be that it is on its way to storage, but I do not know.
