One of the gems from earlier this week was catching a very clean rebuilt low number board and winged GE AC4400CW on the point of a manifest train at flag barn. One of 2 great looking units that were running back to back. Almost felt like the UP of old for about 30 minutes.
UP 6439 leads a westbound empty coal train through Rochelle, IL in sweet golden light. The power may be generic, but those searchlights guarding the diamonds sure aren't, and soon a generic cantilever will soon make this location look just like any other place in the country with a generic cantilever.

Anche un nano, salendo di gradino in gradino una scala alta abbastanza, può giungere più in alto di un gigante. (proverbio cinese)
Questa è la scala che porta alla sommità di "The Monument" a Londra, tra Monument Street e Fish Street Hill.
Fu costruito tra il 1671 ed il 1677 su progetto di Sir Christofer Wren (St. Paul Cathedral) per commemorare la rinascita della città dopo il grande incendio di Londra del 1666.
E' alto 61 metri, l'esatta distanza tra il monumento e Pudding Lane, dopo l'incendio ebbe inzio.
TAP A320neo CS-TVB prepares for departure from Lisbon with a flight bound for London Heathrow.
Aircraft: TAP Air Portugal (TP/TAP) Airbus A320neo CS-TVB "Augustina Bessa-Luís"
Location: Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS/LPPT), Portugal.
BB18¼ 1089 lifts her load up the Eumundi range on her journey north to Cloncurry. 1738 is dead attached
This is probably the longest flight that I have ever taken with my drone with just at 2.15KM flown there and back with my little bird. It would have been a lot easier to fly from the grade crossing north of Eudora but the UP MOW trucks had all the parking spots taken.
Nice to see what is now an older EMD leading a train and being trusted as the only unit on this short manifest.
This shot is in between Linwood and Turkey Creek and right in the heart of where the EF4 tornado removed enough trees a few years back to make this shot possible. We just need a few more EF4's to clean more of the right of way off.

The University of the Philippines or UP was established in Manila on the 18th of June 1908 through Act No. 1870 of the First Philippine Legislature. In 1939, work on a bigger campus started in Diliman -- then part of Morong/Rizal province --- that was interrupted when World War II came to the Philippines. Four years after the war and after a massive rehabilitation work, UP’s relocation from Manila to its present site was completed.
Synonymous with UP is The Oblation --- sculptor Guillermo Tolentino’s translation of Dr. Jose P. Rizal’s “Mi Ultimo Adios” with actor Fernando Poe Sr. as the model. The statue’s cornerstone was laid by Aurora Quezon in 1931, and was unveiled in the old Padre Faura campus in 1939 by Gregoria De Jesus viuda de Bonifacio. The Oblation was relocated to Diliman in 1949. What now stands in front of the UP administration building is actually a bronze replica that was unveiled in 1958 in commemoration of UP’s 50th year. The original statue is at the 3rd floor of the main library. In 1977, members of the Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity streaked around the university to protest the banning of the movie “Hubad na Bayani”. What has become known as The Oblation Run is now an annual tradition of the university held every 16th of December in commemoration of the founding anniversary of the fraternity who started it.
This year, UP celebrates its centennial year. Last year, the lesser known school of Hogwarts held its own. My blog entry on this and more Oblation photos at Shooting Churches, Eating Noodles.

Another birding session today with long time friend and fellow flickr photographer Joe Micallef at Walka Water Works (Maitland, NSW; Australia).
I spotted this Silvereye among this flowering Grevillea.
I'm happy with my new lens - seems to render the feathers and details nicely - hope you agree!!
I've uploaded this as a large file so - Check this out LARGE please!!
Have a terrific day and week ahead!
Thanks again for any comments, viewings or favorites - always very much appreciated!!
Construction, Week 19
Finally for today, a look down the front of the store from inside the current parking lot, as compared to the one from East Parkway which started today's set. You can probably see this better in that E Parkway pic, but there are considerably more holes in the wall for doors, windows, and the like on that side of the building than on the one where this pic was taken from. The ground-level openings are presumably for the café seating area per the interior layout design, but the upper ones make me think that there will be a second level here for offices. Some Krogers, including millennium ones (as we'll see in the future... ;) ), were built with second-floor offices, but Hernando's currently are all on the first (well, only) floor, I believe.
Stick around, Saturday I've got more from the Olive Branch Walmart coming your way!

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
Not Sacramento built!
On a beautiful September day Union Pacific FEF-3 #844 basks in the morning sun in front of the old Southern Pacific General Shops. Countless steam locomotives passed through the Sacramento Shops in its heyday and even though 844 was not one of them the 1944 vintage ALCO looks right at home in front of what was once the home base for UP's 'Overland' partner.

This Hellebore was a garden trade with a friend and I have no idea what variety it is other than prolific and beautiful. The blooms on this one tend to face downward, but this one was looking up just enough to get a close shot!
We are now having a return to cooler weather. Down in the 40s today and very windy! A freeze tonight.....
A Slot Train of rip rap for flood damage repairs travels south into Council Bluffs. The lake on the left is normally a farm field, but it was an extension of the Missouri River that day.
Known as Benos on the railroad, this spot on the north side of CB is normally very noisy due to I-29 traffic just a stones throw away. At the time of the photo, I-29 was shut down because of flooding making for a peaceful spot. There were actually logs and driftwood up on the interstate roadway!
Originally built as an SW7, UP #96 was one of 55 older EMD switchers (NW2s, SW7s, SW9s and TR4As) rebuilt by the railroad in the late 1970s and early 1980s as an SW10.
From Utahrails.net "The SW10 rebuild program included 645-power assemblies in place of the original 567-assemblies. Also included were all new cabling and wiring, and updated electrical gear, which included a couple module cards with some solid state circuitry. A new consolidated equipment rack for the water tank, oil filters, and other mechanical components was built using parts from retired GP9s. A new radiator section using twin 36-inch electrically-powered cooling fans, also taken from retired GP9s, was installed to replace the inefficient and expensive to maintain belt-driven 54-inch fan that originally equipped these units. The new design also included a large sandbox occupying the front of the unit in place of the original radiator fan intake and radiator shutter assembly. This new, external sand box design did away with the two original, internal sand boxes, with their four difficult-to-access sand traps. The cab interior layout and design also received attention. The new design included a modern control stand, electric cab heating, an electric refrigerator, and other features to bring it up to the FRA-mandated "clean cab" standards. Also as part of the rebuild program, the original friction bearing trucks were converted to roller bearings. The finished, operating weight for the SW10s was 251,200 pounds."
#96 (originally #1243) as retained by the Union Pacific as part of their heritage fleet, where it served as the steam shop switcher in Cheyenne. It was finally retired in 2014 and subsequently donated to the Oregon Rail Heritage Center in Portland, OR, where it is displayed today. The engine remains operable and sees some occasional use.
