The reconstruction of Conrail’s Allentown yard is underway in this December, 1978 view. The string of cars with the two Railbox cars is on or adjacent to the former main line which bisected the yard. The near tracks are the former Light Side (westbound) tracks, and the bare area on the far side of the main was the Heavy Side (eastbound) yard, where tracks will be added to the Light Side hump. Closest to the Lehigh River is the Allentown Runner, as the relocated main is known. The former LV main, locally known as the “hole”, is across the river.
NS 1020 & NS 9191 bringing NS 65R into the NS Kankakee Yard in heavy snow. This was an ethanol train bound for Hennepin, IL. This former Conrail Kankakee Line does not see much action these days. The two daily scheduled manifests have been annulled leaving just occasional grain trains, a few locals out of Kankakee, and the occasional Hennepin ethanol traffic.
While 11,068 ft. Provo Peak looms in the nearby Wasatch, Utah Railway and Union Pacific EMDs idle in Provo, Utah on Nov. 25, 2018. Heartening to think these two carriers that shared a yard jointly when I was a young kid are still doing just that.
47811 passing Shaldon Boat Yard with 1C23 10.52 Paddington Paignton "Torbay Express" Saturday 20 July 2002.
We have a fern in the back yard that gives me no end of pleasure, especially with the vintage lenses.
Some things in my life are slowly improving still, thankfully! I am able to get out with my camera 3 - 4 times a week now, for about an hour each time (in the wheelchair, with my hubby who drives me everywhere). And I can spend about an hour on the computer, so baby steps, but I'm so happy for what I can do, after so long of being stuck in the house.
I have been faving as many of your images as I can, from my phone. One day, soon, I am hoping I can spend more time on the computer and actually start commenting again.
Have a lovely Wednesday! I miss you all :)
56111 is just getting underway as it departs from York Yard North at the head of an MGR train, no doubt bound for one of the Aire Valley Power Stations on 21st August 1985. In the background can be seen 56092, complete with Tinsley window surrounds. York Yard North was used to stage these workings which would've arrived from Collieries in County Durham and the North East.

Hudson Yards
New York City
.
.
The extraordinary centerpiece of Hudson Yards is its spiral staircase, a soaring new landmark meant to be climbed. This interactive artwork was imagined by Thomas Heatherwick and Heatherwick Studio as an focal point where people can enjoy new perspectives of the city and one another from different heights, angles and vantage points.
Comprised of 154 intricately interconnecting flights of stairs -- almost 2,500 individual steps and 80 landings – the nearly one mile of vertical climb offers remarkable views of the city, the river and beyond.
I believe these are Brown-belted Bumblebees, that were doing a number on the flowers in our front yard.

A combination of two GE U23C and one U25C locomotive pull Lake Superior & Ishpeming's Yard-Hill Job across the Dead River trestle in Michigan.
The Yard-Hill is tasked with pulling loads from Eagle Mills to the dock, and returning with empties. They typically run in 120-car sets, and are coaxed down the hill with an abundance of air and dynamic braking. When pulling empties, the cars are set out in Eagle Mills.
The name origin of Dead River relates to native American belief that mist from the waterfalls represent the spirits of their ancestors.
i have no idea how a two year old knew what to do with this. the next thing he did was measure his waist.
On a hot August afternoon, UP LOF67 (the Guadalupe Hauler) starts to build its train at Gemco Yard in Van Nuys, CA. Although LOF67 still runs, today this shot has been ruined by a fence separating the yard and main tracks from each other.
An Arcelor Mittal yard job brings a cut of cars into Norfolk Southern's Yard in East Chicago Indiana.
Happy to see the pandemic has brought a Ruby-crowned Kinglet to the yard. Have seen its crown only once for a mini-second and it almost never stays still.
Vang stave church
Stabkirche Wang
is a stave church which was bought by the Prussian King and transferred from Vang in Norway and re-erected in 1842 in Brückenberg near Krummhübel in Germany,
now Karpacz in the Karkonosze mountains of Poland.
The church is a four-post single-nave stave church originally built around 1200 in the parish of Vang in the Valdres region of Norway.
