Happenstance and Heritage

While on the road today, I saw a diminutive train along an unknown line and made chase.

I got ahead of it and pulled into what turned out to Plymouth, Indiana. There I saw another line running more or less perpendicular, supposed a crossing to exist, and made for that. I was able to set up so that I could showcase the ancient Pennsy home signal, still doing its job after what I would suppose to be greater than a century.

I'm standing on what was once the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago Railway, which was part of the Pennsy of course (and now operated as the Chicago, Fort Wayne & Eastern). Our little train is on what was the Lake Erie and Western Railroad, which became part of the New York Central and later the Nickel Plate (and is now operated by the Elkhart & Western).

The little train appeared to be powered by one Paducah geep on each end, with but a few cars in between. After it trundled away, I took an additional shot of the decaying station along the Pennsy, which can be seen lurking in the background of the first few images.

To add to the rail history in this spot, Rail Guide (a fabulous website where one can track down the heritage of any rail line in the US) says the the Panhandle (also part of the Pennsy) crossed here as well, creating a triple crossing. Go to the pull down menu under "maps" and click "early owners".

I love the Eastern tiger swallowtails that are fairly common in the Eastern US this time of year. They're large, cute, and have striking coloration. I always see multiple butterflies visiting rhododendron and lilac bushes. Papilio glaucus, Northeastern Pennsylvania, United States

When I first watched Band of Brothers and was reading about Easy Company I thought that the companies were based on which area of the country they were from because WHY WAS EVERYONE IN EASY COMPANY FROM PENNSYLVANIA SPECIFICALLY EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND PHILLY

The top picture is from yesterday. The other two are that same area in late September, same time of year, on two other years. To give you a sense of what I mean when I say there’s a drought in the countryside where I take a lot of the pictures.

for context, i'm a forestry/bio major and hate those little fuckers with every fiber of my being. but they're kind of pretty and i think it would be funny to have a tattoo of one. there's an artist in my area that specializes in bugs and she would do a fabulous job
