Ferromex number 4053 leads a loaded grain train off of the Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska (NKCR) bound for the BNSF interchange in Sterling, CO. With all of the Ferromex units not having PTC the only time you can really see these lead is on shortlines or in very rare occurrence of getting PTC exempt permissions.

These turkeys stopped by, so I invited them in for dinner. They thanked me , but said that they were stuffed.
The Northern Flicker was yelling and pecking on the tree just above the Great Horned Owl nest. Mom was not impressed with his attempt to attract a mate.

My son has dropped his cat, Ciri, around for the night as his landlord is replacing the carpet prior to selling the property. So it could be that he will be house hunting sometime soon. But Ciri will miss him I think. She's not going outside in case she strays, I'm not used to cat sitting!:))

An illustration of ‘Oumuamua, the first object we’ve ever seen pass through our own solar system that has interstellar origins.
In October, a mysterious object zipped through our solar system at 196,000 mph. Scientists named it ‘Oumuamua, which means “a messenger from afar arriving first” in Hawaiian, and it’s the first object we’ve ever seen that entered from outside our solar system. Now our astrophysicists have helped calculate how it fits into what we know about how planetary systems form.
“This object was likely ejected from a distant star system,” said Elisa Quintana, an astrophysicist at Goddard. “What’s interesting is that just this one object flying by so quickly can help us constrain some of our planet formation models.”
On Sept. 19, ‘Oumuamua sped past the Sun at about 196,000 mph (315,400 km/h), fast enough to escape the Sun’s gravitational pull and break free of the solar system, never to return. Usually, an object traveling at a similar speed would be a comet falling sunward from the outer solar system. Comets are icy objects that range between house-sized to many miles across. But they usually shed gas and dust as they approach the Sun and warm up. ‘Oumuamua didn’t. Some scientists interpreted this to mean that ‘Oumuamua was a dry asteroid.

Taken at Crossways campsite near Dorchester; we were told to expect to see deer on the site so were pleased when this one stopped by while we were having breakfast. Not the best shot - a quick snap taken through the van window.
HTMT!
This congregation of SP, SLSF, and SCL power at the RF&P's Bryan Park engine terminal isn't as wild as it seems when you consider the SCL's connections to both the SLSF and SP. Hence, these western visitors have come into Richmond on a train from the Coast Line, and are being serviced on 9-4-1977. John F Sullivan photo, JL Sessa collection.
If you spent enough time watching trains in the Allentown, Pennsylvania area, you would see freight cars from almost every railroad in the US and Canada. This is the only car that I ever recall seeing from south of the border.
At the Hassan Tower in Rabat.
Hassan Tower is the minaret of an incomplete mosque in Rabat, Morocco. It was commissioned by Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-Mansur, the third caliph of the Almohad Caliphate, near the end of the 12th century. The tower was intended to be the largest minaret in the world, and the mosque, if completed, would have been the largest in the western Muslim world. When al-Mansur died in 1199, construction on the mosque stopped. The minaret was left standing at a height of 44 meters. The rest of the mosque was also left incomplete, with only the beginnings of several walls and 348 columns being constructed.

Certainly one of my favourite places in the Banff National Park, the Consolations Lake(s) is a rugged landscape popping with every ingredient necessary for a memorable scene. With a ridged mountain range in the background and a crystal clear lake in the foreground, the Consolations Lake deserves more visitors than it gets.

Visitors from afar, ok Portknockie but in these Covid lockdown times it seems far away.
Assuming these two will getting lifted out of the water for their winter maintenance shortly.
Amtrak 100 and 514 make their way south on the Capitol Sub after a weekend stay at the B&O Museum. It's very rare to see Amtrak equipment here on CSX territory, so this was a special move.

I gave up on trying to get a decent shot of my dawgs, and these two came and visited us, which was great timing! The Hadidah has the most raucous call imaginable, and these guys have now taught my African Greys to do the same thing!!
This Great Blue Heron dropped in for a bite to eat and assumed the classic fishing pose. They always visit when you are least expecting them. This one was a pleasant surprise.
