Catenary Cables - Prague With all of the tracks leading into and out of Prague's main train station these catenary wires and supports seem to be everywhere above them. A catenary system holds the electrical wires that provide power to the electrified trains. The system is made up of both the wires providing the electrical power, and the supports holding the wires in place. Photo taken on: April 30, 2015, at Prague, Czechia.

Saint John Of Nepomuk's Silver Tomb - St. Vitus Cathedral The silver covered tomb of Saint John of Nepomuk (Czech: Svatý Jan Nepomucký) inside Saint Vitus Cathedral, at Prague Castle. When I took this photograph, I did not realize that the tomb was covered in silver. It was not until after I was back home, and researched the saint that I became aware that his tomb was covered in silver. Photo taken on: April 29, 2015, at Prague, Czechia.

SP 8153 - Maplewood, MO I dug this photograph out of the old negative files. Here we see Southern Pacific 8153, along with a second Southern Pacific unit, sitting along Greenwood Blvd., at Big Bend Boulevard, in Maplewood, Missouri. The train was waiting for clearance to proceed east on Union Pacific's Sedalia Subdivision . At this time the Sedalia Subdivision ran all the way from Rock Creek Junction in Kansas City, Missouri. to Gratiot Tower (now called Gratiot Interlocking ) in St. Louis, Missouri. Today, the segment of the rail line from Jefferson City, Missouri, to St. Louis has been renamed the Jefferson City Subdivision.  I'm not sure when the name change occurred, but a Union Pacific timetable I have from 1995, still lists this segment of the line as the Sedalia Subdivision. Photo taken: April 1995, at Maplewood, Missouri.
