  A trio of Union Pacific locomotives, led by 8909, lead a grain train through the cemetery. Union Pacific (UP) 8909, UP 8125, and an unknown UP locomotive are on the point of a northbound CSX grain train at Nashville Nation Cemetery. The train is passing under the Walton Lane overpass , which is on the southern edge of the cemetery.  The rail line here is CSX's Nashville Terminal Subdivision, and it runs through the middle of the national cemetery, on a slightly tilted north-south axis. The cemetery is located in the city of Madison, Tennessee, on the northern edge of Nashville. The subdivision connects to CSX's Henderson Subdivision and CSX's Main Line Subdivision a few miles north of the cemetery. Trains to and from the Chicago area use the Henderson Subdivision, while trains heading to or coming from Louisville, Kentucky, and Cincinnati, Ohio use the Main Line subdivision.

May 31, 2017. Boston, Massachusetts. While setting up to take an image at the Central Burying Grounds, located at Boston Commons, this guy came riding through the park on his skateboard.

Per the City of Boston's website, the cemetery dates from 1756. Photo © Tom Gatermann.
