A southbound Union Pacific coal load crosses over Wyoming’s Logan Hill with trailing DPU unit KLWX No. 9530 bringing up the tail on June 28, 2024. This basic black 4,400 hp Knoxville Locomotive Works product is apparently testing on UP coal trains in Powder River Basin to see if a Tier 4-compliant remanufactured locomotive is possible equipped with a Cummins prime mover. The unit started out life as Burlington Northern EMD SD70MAC No. 9530.

I had wanted to visit this location for some time so, after hearing a description from fellow Flickr photog Steve Thole and inspired by the wonderful photography of Gavin Hardcastle - Fototripper, off I went.
A short hike over a steep hill from the parking site, and equipped with chest waders, I spent a very enjoyable couple of hours exploring the Sychryd Gorge. A place that I already want to revisit. I hope you enjoy!

Two EMD SD70Ms wait for work at Union Pacific’s Downing B. Jenks Shop in North Little Rock, Arkansas, on May 19, 2015. No. 5090 has the “standard” SD70M cab, while sister No. 5155 is equipped with a so-called Phase II cab with the same windshields, but has a nose with sharper features and a raised center portion accommodating a full-size door—a similar look that foretold the SD70ACe.
The Breguet BR 1150 ATLANTIC procedure trainer is an almost fully equipped training cell for the training of the tactical crews of the maritime reconnaissance aircraft.
The Breguet Atlantic, also known as the BR 1150, is a maritime patrol aircraft (MPA) that was developed multinationally.
The aircraft is used for patrol flights as well as for submarine hunting.
The Breguet Atlantic is the only aircraft in the world that was built exclusively for this range of tasks from the outset, while other maritime reconnaissance aircraft are usually developed on the basis of civilian aircraft.
The machines of the German Navy are now retired, but are still in operation in other countries.
In addition to the version for the MPA task, the Bundeswehr also had the BR 1150 M equipment variant for telecommunications and electronic reconnaissance.

The counselor is perhaps better equipped for his task, if he has experienced personal difficulties, problems, doubts and fears, even a sense of guilt and failure, perplexity and distress, but has come through to peace, both spiritually and emotionally. - Derek Bingham
Pues ya tocaba subir alguna toma después del parón navideño y la necesaria renovación informática en mi equipo para poder revelar y procesar en condiciones. En esta ocasión os dejo una toma de la última salida realizada al Lavadero Roberto, situado en la bahía de Portman. Una sesión lightpainting donde se intenta ambientar una posible fábrica de material biológico altamente peligroso. En esta ocasión, nuestro personaje, equipado con su equipo de protección de amenaza biológica, descubre donde se almacena las sustancias toxicas.
Iluminación realizada con linterna RGB para la parte inferior roja, linterna de mecánico para el personaje, bomba de humo verde y flash con filtro verde para simular e iluminar la zona de los contenedores, y flash para iluminar el techo de la nave.

30 melhores fotos de 2019 - todo ano, em dezembro, faço a seleção das minhas fotos favoritas do ano. Não se trata de auto elogio, mas sim de um exercício de seleção, muito importante na fotografia, e uma forma de ter as minhas melhores fotos separadas. Além disso é uma forma de rever o que fiz este ano e curtir novamente.
Olivenza (Olivença en portugués) es un municipio de España, en la provincia de Badajoz (comunidad autónoma de Extremadura). Forma parte de la comarca de Llanos de Olivenza y es cabecera y sede del Partido judicial de Olivenza. Portugal, a la que la localidad perteneció entre 1297 y 1801, no reconoce la soberanía española sobre este territorio, aunque tampoco plantea activamente su reclamación.
Historia
Olivenza en el Reino de León
El origen de Olivenza está ligado a la definitiva reconquista de Badajoz por el último rey de León, Alfonso IX, en la primavera del año 1230. Para recompensar la participación que los templarios a su servicio tuvieron en esa campaña, Alfonso IX les concedió los enclaves de Burguillos y Alconchel. Desde estos puntos, hacia el año 1256, la Orden creó la encomienda de Olivenza, por entonces apenas un conjunto de huertos, chozas y algunas casas surgidas alrededor de un generoso manantial. Sin embargo, durante el reinado de Alfonso X el Sabio, el Temple es forzado a desalojar Olivenza y a entregar sus tierras al Concejo y Obispado de Badajoz.
Cesión a Portugal
El equilibrio de poderes entre Portugal y la Corona de Castilla se alteró profundamente durante el reinado de Don Dinís de Portugal. Portugal y Castilla firman el Tratado de Alcañices en (1297). Mediante este tratado, Castilla cede a Portugal la entonces aldea de Olivenza.
A partir de 1297, Olivenza irá acrecentando de forma progresiva sus defensas. En 1298, Don Dinís concede una Carta Foral a Olivenza (elevándola a la categoría de villa) y manda construir las primeras murallas del pueblo. En 1488, Juan II de Portugal manda construir la Torre del Homenaje de Olivenza, la más alta del reino de Portugal. En 1510, el rey Manuel I impulsa una importante obra de ingeniería militar: un puente fortificado sobre el Guadiana para asegurar la operatividad de las tropas portuguesas en la margen izquierda, que permite comunicar Elvas y Olivenza. El Puente de Ajuda tenía 380 metros de longitud y cinco y medio de anchura, 19 arcos y una gran torre defensiva central de tres pisos.
Tensiones fronterizas
Tras la época de paz en la época de unión de las coronas de Portugal y Castilla (Unión Ibérica), Olivenza entra con la Restauración de la Independencia de Portugal de 1640 en un nuevo ciclo bélico. Conquistada en 1657 por el Duque de San Germán –después de cuatro tentativas frustradas– fue devuelta a Portugal al firmarse el Tratado de Lisboa de 1668, por el que se reconoce formalmente la independencia de Portugal.
En la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII, Portugal redefine la orientación de su política militar frente a España. De una estrategia ofensiva se pasará a otra puramente defensiva. Este cambio de orientación tendrá importantes consecuencias para la villa fronteriza portuguesa de Olivenza. Todos los informes de los estrategas extranjeros que la visitan en esos años a petición de la corona portuguesa aconsejan su abandono por tres motivos:
La numerosa artillería, munición, equipos y hombres necesarios para mantener en estado de defensa una plaza con nueve baluartes (en comparación, Badajoz tenía ocho)
La interrupción logística que para el enclave suponía la voladura del Puente de Ajuda (destruido en la Guerra de Sucesión Española en 1709)
La comprometida situación en que se vería envuelto el ejército que pretendiera auxiliarla, con su única línea de retirada cortada por la corriente del Guadiana.
Cesión a España
Olivenza fue ocupada de nuevo por España en 1801, durante la Guerra de las Naranjas. El gobernador portugués de entonces, Julio César Augusto Chermont, prohibió que se disparara contra las tropas de Manuel Godoy. Olivenza queda en poder de España en virtud de los tratados de Badajoz de 6 de junio y de Madrid de 29 de septiembre de 1801. De acuerdo con estos tratados, Portugal se vio obligada a reconocer la posesión por España (Su Majestad Católica conservará en calidad de conquista, para unirla perpetuamente a sus dominios y vasallos, la plaza de Olivenza, su territorio y pueblos desde el Guadiana; de suerte que este río sea el límite de sus respectivos Reinos).
A la caída del Antiguo Régimen la localidad se constituye en municipio constitucional en la región de Extremadura. Desde 1834 es cabecera y sede del Partido judicial de Olivenza. En el censo de 1842 contaba con 1686 hogares y 6291 vecinos.

Today we see Ulysses S. Grant. Grant was an American soldier and politician who served as the 18th president of the United States from 1869 to 1877. Before his presidency, Grant led the Union Army as Commanding General of the United States Army in winning the American Civil War. As president, Grant worked with the Republicans during Reconstruction to protect blacks and reestablish the public credit, while rebuilding the U.S. Navy.
At the outbreak of the Civil War in April 1861, Grant helped recruit, equip, and drill troops in Galena, then accompanied them to the state capital, Springfield, where Gov. Richard Yates made him an aide and assigned him to the state adjutant general’s office. Yates appointed him colonel of an unruly regiment (later named the 21st Illinois Volunteers) in June 1861. Before he had even engaged the enemy, Grant was appointed brigadier general through the influence of Elihu B. Washburne, a U.S. congressman from Galena. On learning this news and recalling his son’s previous failures, his father said, “Be careful, Ulyss, you are a general now—it’s a good job, don’t lose it!” To the contrary, Grant soon gained command of the District of Southeast Missouri, headquartered at Cairo, Illinois.
Grant was appointed lieutenant general in March 1864 and was entrusted with command of all the U.S. armies. His basic plan for the 1864 campaign was to immobilize the army of Gen. Robert E. Lee near the Confederate capital at Richmond, Virginia, while Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman led the western Union army southward through Georgia. It worked. By mid-June, Lee was pinned down at Petersburg, near Richmond, while Sherman’s army cut and rampaged through Georgia and cavalry forces under Gen. Philip Sheridan destroyed railroads and supplies in Virginia. On April 2, 1865, Lee was forced to abandon his Petersburg defensive line, and the surrender of Lee’s army followed on April 9 at Appomattox Court House. This surrender, in effect, marked the end of the Civil War. The South’s defeat saddened Grant. As he wrote in his Personal Memoirs, he felt “sad and depressed…at the downfall of a foe who had fought so long and valiantly, and had suffered so much for a cause, though that cause was, I believe, one of the worst for which a people ever fought.”
A war hero but a reluctant politician, Grant was unanimously nominated by the Republican Party and was elected president in 1868. As president, Grant stabilized the post-war national economy and created the Department of Justice. He appointed African Americans and Jewish Americans to prominent federal offices. In 1871, he created the first Civil Service Commission.
The Liberal Republicans and Democrats united behind Grant's opponent in the presidential election of 1872, but Grant was handily re-elected. Grant's Native American policy had both successes and failures. In foreign affairs, the Grant administration peacefully resolved the Alabama claims against Great Britain, but the Senate rejected Grant's prized Caribbean Dominican Republic annexation.
After leaving office, Ulysses and Julia Grant set forth on a round-the-world trip in May 1877. Grant’s reputation as the man who had saved the American Union having preceded him, he was greeted everywhere as a conquering hero. In Great Britain he and his wife were feted by Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle; they also met Benjamin Disraeli. In Germany they were greeted by Otto von Bismarck; and in Japan they shook hands with the emperor. Americans were delighted with these reports from overseas. The Grants themselves were left pondering their good fortune.
Grant completed his memoirs shortly before his death. Written with modesty and restraint, exhibiting equanimity, candour, and a surprisingly good sense of humour, they retain high rank among military autobiographies.
Grant’s Tomb, designed by the architect John Duncan, is one of the largest mausoleums in the world, 150 feet (45 metres) high, with a domed rotunda and allegorical relief figures representing episodes in Grant’s life. Two figures representing victory and peace support a granite block containing Grant’s epitaph, his own words, “Let us have peace.” The center crypt contains two sarcophagi. Julia Grant, who lived until 1902, was interred beside her husband, as they had planned. It was said that the idea of a single burial place for the both of them stemmed from Grant’s visit to the tomb of Ferdinand and Isabella in Spain.

Breton Iron and Steel Village.
Au cœur de la grande forêt de Quénécan, à quelques kilomètres du lac de Guerlédan, se niche une des forges à bois les plus anciennes et les mieux préservées de Bretagne. Un vestige exceptionnel d’une activité prospère et industrielle pendant près de trois siècles.
L’activité de la forge s’est arrêtée en 1877 mais le village a continué à vivre et le voici aujourd’hui entièrement restauré.
At the heart of the great forest Quénécan, a few kilometers from Lake Guerlédan, is nestled one of the oldest and best preserved wood forges in Brittany. An exceptional vestige of a prosperous and industrial activity for almost three centuries.
The activity of the forge stopped in 1877 but the village continued to live and here it is now fully restored.
Bueno, creo que con esta foto entenderán obviamente que ninguno de los 2 equipos esta en condiciones de operar...
La foto corresponde a cuando se le retiraron las ruedas al AEZ-42 para ser entregadas al AEL-37.
No soy muy conocedor de los asuntos mecánicos porque recién me inicio en esto pero onda dar datos de ambos automotores y de si es posible su reparación puedo decir lo siguiente:
AEL-38
-Falta de los 8 motores de tracción ---> reparable usando los motores de otro automotor de la misma procedencia.
-Falta de ruedas, actualmente posee las del AEZ-44 ---> Solamente reparable usando repuestos nuevos.
-Falta de mangueras para traspaso eléctrico entre coches.
-Falta de pantografos ---> Es facil el retirárselos a otro automotor o locomotora.
-Renovación de grasas.
AEZ-42:
-Fallas en la mayoría de sus motores de tracción, 4 de ellos graves (coche A) ---> su reparación debiese suceder únicamente pasando por una RG.
-Falta de ruedas ----> Repuestos nuevos.
-Renovación de grasas.
-He de CREER que dado el "pequeño accidente" que se pego... ha de tener problemas de frenado... unicamente en el coche A y B1 ---> Reparación con RG.
Osea... las cosas favorables, tal vez no para el 42 pero si para el AEL-38, serán la llegada de los AEL-35 y 36 a Santiago.
Post Data: Feliz cumpleaños a don Biorieles eaeaeaea!!!

The AMX-10 Vehicule d'Observation d'Artillerie (VOA) is variant of the AMX-10P that has been equipped with a new turret for artillery spotting duties. The vehicle has only a single machine gun as self-defense, but sports cutting-edge systems in support of its mission. Laser rangefinders, telescopic optics and powerful radios allow the VOA to pinpoint hostile formations or strongpoints and call down the thunder.
