TXL 1042 520, Luisenthal (ligne Trier - Saarbrücken), 12 Février 2012.
Ce train de voitures Ford entre l'usine de Saarlouis et l'Italie fut l'un des premiers trains de la région Saarroise à passer à la concurrence. Ce jour-là, c'est la 1042 520 du Centralbahn, dans son ancienne livrée Eisenbahn Kurier, qui assure le train pour le compte de TXL. Il est vu au franchissement de la gare de Luisenthal, alors que la lumière décline très rapidement en cette fin de journée du 12 Février 2007. A gauche, les voies vers l'ancienne hall à marchandises étaient encore en place à l'époque. Elles ont été démontée depuis.
Bridgepixing the historic Salt River Union Pacific Railroad Bridge (built 1912), Tempe, Arizona.
The Salt River Union Pacific Bridge is significant not only because of its age and size, but also because of is durability in the face of heavy flooding, which destroyed three previous bridges in this location. It is on the site of the earliest railroad crossing of the Salt River. The first railroad bridge, built by the Phoenix and Maricopa Railroad at this crossing in 1887, was washed away in 1891. The second bridge fell victim to a flood in 1905. During 1905, the newly organized Arizona Eastern Railroad built a bridge on a slightly different alignment. It was founded on ten sets of concrete-filled steel cylinder drums anchored in the bedrock of the river. The nine spans were moved to the site from various locations in Texas, creating a workable but temporary structure. The present bridge was built by the Arizona Eastern in 1912-1913 on the old 1905 piers, but with nine through truss spans manufactured by the American Bridge Company. This structure has since dependably served the railroad for seventy years. During the recent floods of 1980-1981, when most crossings of the Salt River were closed, the commuter train "Hattie B" was able to take workers from the east valley to Phoenix via the Salt River Southern Pacific Railroad Bridge (its name before the recent acquisition of Southern Pacific by the Union Pacific Railroad).
The Salt River Union Pacific Railroad Bridge at Tempe is a 1,291-foot long, nine-span. Pratt type through truss bridge. It consists of two 100-foot through riveted trusses, five 150-foot through truss pin connected spans, and two 160-foot through truss pin connected spans. The spans are arranged so that one 100-foot span is at each end of the bridge, while the to 160-foot trusses and the five 150-foot trusses are between the shorter spans. The approaches consist of a 178-foot ballasted deck trestle at the north end and a 223-foot ballasted deck trestle at the south end of the bridge. Roadway extensions at each end add 10 feet, 6 inches, for an overall length of 1,692 feet. The structure rests on ten pairs of concrete filled steel cased pilings that were sunk in 1905 as part of a previous bridge. The approach spans rests on wooden timbers. The flooring material is treated timber covered with ballast. The bridge is structurally sound and sturdy and is in daily use. (Tempe Historical Museum)
HDR Photo of Frank Lloyd Wright's cantilevered Stone Footbridge at Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Taliesin West was architect Frank Lloyd Wright's winter home and school in the desert in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA from 1937 until his death in 1959 at the age of 91.
During his lifetime, Wright continually altered and added to the complex of buildings, all of which were constructed by students.
Many of Wright's most famous buildings were designed in the drafting room at Taliesin West, including the Guggenheim Museum in New York City and Grady Gammage Auditorium at Arizona State University in Tempe.
Taliesin West continues as the headquarters of The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, and as the winter home for the School of Architecture.
Restoration work to the private quarters of Mr. and Mrs. Wright was completed in 2004, and tours of the home and school are conducted on a regular basis.
The structure was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1982. (Wikipedia)

Poor Ella. She broke our hearts with this face... but don't worry... she's got it off now and she's back to her usual happy self.
This is what a cheeseburger looks like if you drop a bun on the dirty floor, wont eat it, and try to cut one half into two.
As you can see, it works, but only barely.

Regardless, this lunch was delicious!
ChungHwa Post vs Taiwan Post, 2007/2/12 am 11:47:04
Despite more than half Taiwan's people oppose the change in the names, President Chen Shui-bian and Premier Su Tseng-chang attend ceremony to change the name of the government-run Chunghwa Post Co. to "Taiwan Post Co." today...
郵差司機找不到回家的路...
儘管「去中國化」問題會引起民間與在野黨許多爭議，民進黨政府為拼選舉，製造話題...還是不顧一切推動國營事業正名。
中華郵政在今日下午正名為「台灣郵政」，陳水扁總統和行政院長蘇貞昌均出席這項揭牌儀式，陳總統在致詞時表示，正名正是還原歷史，創新中有傳承，也顯示我們堅持台灣主體意識。他強調，台灣郵票將在二二八紀念日正式發行。
ps:
"Chunghwa" means "China" or "Chinese," and President Chen's independence-leaning administration has been taking steps to remove the word "China" in all names from government agencies and enterprises as part of a campaign to create an indigenous Taiwanese identity separate from mainland China...
