The Omnimount Washington Resort is on the left (looks like a castle).
I am appalled by what happened today but not surprised. And to all who voted for this man to continue for another 4 years in his destruction of our country what the hell were you thinking?
We swung through Little Rock on our way to Springdale, as I had long wanted to see Union Pacific's Jenks Shop complex, where locomotives receive heavy overhauls. We had no idea that this would be sitting here: Union Pacific #4141! This EMD SD70ACe was specially painted to commemorate the opening of George H. W. Bush's Presidential Library and Museum about 12 years ago and has mostly been stored since then. When the former President passed away a couple of months ago, 4141 was immediately reactivated and pulled his funeral train in Texas to his final resting place. Now being stripped off its engine and other electronics, 4141 will eventually be donated to GHWB's Museum where it will be part of an interactive display.

This bus has spent the past year undergoing a massive refurbishment both inside and out, as part of the Vantage Power project which now makes this a hybrid vehicle!
President George H.W. Bush waves from the rear car of “The Spirit of America” express during his re-election efforts on Halloween 1992. The impressive 19-car “whistle stop” train trip through the Wisconsin countryside is making a trek up Wisconsin Central’s main line through Sussex, Wisconsin. Toward the middle of the train, UP diner “Overland” is being used for White House communications agency, keeping the president in touch via satellite communication with the four huge white microwave dishes decorated like ghosts and jack-o-lanterns in the spirit of the holiday! Next to the president is first lady, Barbara Bush, along with two of their grandchildren enjoying the train ride from the rear platform of CSX business car “Baltimore.” The 41st president of the United States of America, George H.W. Bush, died on November 30, 2018, at the age of 94.
On this day after shooting the late running dinner train at Sagamore siding I eschewed the classic and far more scenic shots to go for this less than ideal view. But being a sucker for historic railroad structures and having never shot this I had to try since this trim little station once located a half mile or so south of here along the Falmouth Branch is one of very few surving passenger stations from New Haven (or Old Colony before) days left on the Cape.

Gray Gables Station was built for the personal use of President Grover Cleveland during the years of his presidency of the United States, 1893 – 1896. Cleveland’s summer home in Bourne, Gray Gables gave both the Village and his personal station their names.
It was during the four year interim between his two non-consecutive terms as President that Grover Cleveland purchased the property from the Tudor family on Monument Neck in Bourne. The Bourne area had been recommended as a summer retreat by his friend, actor Joseph Jefferson, for its “good fishing”.
When Cleveland was elected in 1892, for a second term as president, Gray Gables became Cape Cod’s first summer White House. The depot had a direct telegraph line back to Washington. Two of the five Cleveland children were born at Gray Gables, and the family discontinued their residency in 1904.
For a time, the station was a flag stop, being used by Cataumet and Pocasset students to travel to the high school. It was moved here to the Aptucxet Trading Post grounds in 1976.
The eight car train is bracketed by twin FL9s, are are in a bit of a hurry to get out on to the bridge to reverse direction and head south at Canal Junction on the Falmouth Line to clear the approaching CapeFLYER coming north from Hyannis.
Mass Coastal's ex CDOT FL9 #2011 (blt. Sept. 1960 as NH #2038) and sister FL9 #2026 (blt. Sept. 1957 as NH 2007) are very much on home rails here at MP 55.4 on the MassDOT owned and MC operated Cape Main.

The neoclassical beaux arts Presidential Palace in Hanoi, Vietnam, was built by the French around 1900 to house the French Governor-General of Indochina. When Ho Chi Minh overthrew the French in 1954 he refused to live in the Palace, preferring, until his death in 1969, to live humbly in a traditional Vietnamese two room stilt house that he built behind the palace by the carp pond

The flash flooding in the Wyre Valley has produced some strange sites! This is the lower waterfall at the Abbeystead Hydro installation and the flooding has coloured the water to such an extent that I couldn't help feeling that this looks like a certain Presidential hairstyle. "Make Waterfalls Great Again", would certainly be a strapline I would vote for!!
I actually took this hand held with my recently service D750 and 24-70 lens in VR mode!

The seal of the President of the United States, part of the slipcase cover for my cds of The West Wing, a U.S. tv show from several years ago. I've been binge watching it to avoid our real election coverage. Not really - no time - but I'd like to! I added the red star 'cause it just need a bit of color.
No man should be allowed to be the President who does not understand hogs, or hasn't been around a manure pile. #GeorgeOrwell
Crossing over to the other side of the tracks at Manitou, NY on a different day we capture one of the first ConnDot FL-9 rebuilds charging north during part of the afternoon commute. I had a long time railroader friend dating back to EL days from my childhood in upstate New York. He eventually went on to become a Road Foreman of Engines for MNCR. I made a copy of this in an 8X10, framed it and gave it as gift. He kept it on his desk in his office at GCT. While visiting one day I noticed it missing and inquired as to what happened to it. His story was that MNCR President Peter Stengel liked the photo so much that he took it to place on his desk in his office. Knowing how railroad managers work and knowing that my friend was to be taken with a grain of salt, I'm willing to bet that, yes, maybe Mr. Stengel liked the photo, but I'm pretty sure that my friend handed it over to him as a keepsake just to score a few RR brownie points.
Whenever you see a Greek and you think he is small,
his greatness will always be greater!!!
You just have to look better....
After all the Foam that pissed UP left the property I was treated to private access and killer post sunset light at G2

Mount Garfield caps the eastern terminus of the Book Cliffs near the point at which the Colorado River enters the Grand Valley, where it joins the Gunnison River. The Book Cliffs run westward from here nearly 200 miles into Utah, and are named for the southward facing Cretaceous sandstone cap, clearly visible here, that is thought to resemble a shelf of books. As I was perusing Wikipedia, I found it interesting that Exxon scientists used the Book Cliffs in the 1980s to develop the science of sequence stratigraphy, which can help to understand changes in relative sea level as they occurred when this part of the world was submerged under a shallow inland sea millions of years ago.
For some years I had wanted to photograph Mount Garfield with snow, and this past December provided perfect conditions. For this photo, I actually just pulled off the side of Interstate 70 and waited for gaps in traffic!

The Presidential Palace in Nanjing, China, housed the Office of the President of the Republic of China since 1927 until the republic was relocated to Taiwan in 1949. It is now a museum, the China Modern History Museum.
