Railroad Vine is often used in beach restoration because it grows well in the sandy soil. It produces large, purple flowers like this one. It sends out runners along the beach that can reach 100 feet in length.
Bridge Over the Brazos I was driving through a Richmond, a small town southwest of Houston. I was mainly looking for new things to come back and photograph when I had my camera with me. I ran across a viewpoint of the railroad bridge over the Brazos River and had to get out and take a look. I have seen this many times from the highway, but never right by the tracks. Having only my iPhone, I couldn't resist taking a quick test shot to remind me to come back sometime.

Gallitzin 19199
Vibration - Can you imagine living directly over this tunnel? The Gallitzon Tunnels in the town of the sam name. The extremely high grade presented the final obstacle in conquering the Allegheny Mountains, making it necessary to build tunnels as early as 1850. The New Portage Tunnel was completed in 1854 at an elevation of 2,167 feet, and was traditionally (and still is) used primarily for eastbound traffic. The Allegheny Tunnel, at 3,605 feet in length, was completed that same year. The third tunnel, known as the Gallitzin Tunnel, was completed in 1904 and removed from service when the Allegheny Tunnel was expanded to two tracks in 1995. The Tunnels were so significant to the transportation system that they were guarded during the war years. Still in use today, you can feel the awesome power of trains as they pass through the tunnels daily - 24 hours a day.
