It wasn't very common to see the new GO Transit F59PH units operating with older power, partially because of the short overlap of only a few years that both co-existed on the roster, and partially because the F59's were more than capable of handling a train themselves and providing their own HEP, but it did happen as evident here! GO Transit GP40-2W 707, running out its final miles on GO just a few months before retirement, double-heads a 10-car bilevel consist with F59PH 526 on train #1908, heading eastbound over Clarkson Road North east of the GO station just before 9 in the morning. The service track to CN's Clarkson Yard, the east end of the wye and Petro Canada's Clarkson refinery can be seen in the foreground. By this point in time GO had amassed a fleet of 42 F59's in three orders, allowing it to sell both its GP40TC's (to Amtrak in 1988) and F40PH's (to Amtrak in 1990). Their GP40-2W and rebuilt GP40-3's remained on the roster, often leased out to CP for freight service, but around the fall of 1991 ten GP40-2W's including 707 would be sold to CN for freight use and renumbered above their own 9600-series units (a lone unit, 703, was sold to Tri-Rail). The ex-Rock Island GP40-3's would solder on for a few more years (often being leased to power-short CP for freight service) before being traded in to GMD on the last order of F59's in 1994, giving GO a solid roster of 49 F59PH units. Aside from a sale of 4 surplus units to TRE in 1997, the fleet of F59's would remain as GO's sole power until the first new MP40 arrived in the fall of 2007.

Hey I hope this isn't too wildly invasive! I THINK a while ago you said you'd lived in Cymru for a bit, can I ask whereabouts? Entirely out of curiosity, because I love hearing other peoples' thoughts on my homeland 💕

I have not, I lived in Glasgow and then Norwich, so wrong parts of the island (for me)! Being the usual weirdass American with weirdass American attachments to ancestry, though, I'm mostly Welsh (Cymraeg, correct?) by family history, from Gwynedd - sadly, I don't know more specifically than that. (My favorite of the family history is one of my relatives - his mother and father were both Evans [not known to be related]. 🤣)

(Even funnier, his mother had been married before, and so her surname went back to being Evans... when she remarried.)

That homeland of yours is painfully, unfairly, criminally gorgeous. And don't get me started on the history. Offa's Dyke (so many walls and earthworks and hedges that were various Roman/English people going OH CRAP [Latin: "ohus crapus," English: "oi, mate, they're comin' over the bleedin' walls like they lost the Champions' League!"]), Owain Glyndŵr (I love every revolt against the English where the French are immediately going WE'LL HELP! HEY, WE'LL HELP!!! 👋👋👋 [French: "sacre bleu, we will beat the Engleesh weez our baguettes and undercooked bouef!"], the Cistercian cultural influence, though I also love that the first Christians kind of sidled in and everyone was like "NOPE" and murdered them.

Also had/have some insanely awesome writers - Arthur Machen, Sarah Waters, Jasper Fforde. I'll also let you share credit for Philip Pullman, since Norwich doesn't deserve him and he lived in Llanbedr as a kid.

And a funny story about another of a descendant of Cymru, though I know born in England - John Rhys-Davies. Sadly, I did not personally witness this (I was at work). He was at a local comic-con where we live in the US, and, uh... apparently got quite into it with my daughter, who was eight. I have no idea what they found to vehemently argue about, but they did. (In his defense, she'll argue with anyone.) In the end, she left with this picture autographed to her by him:

Above himself, he wrote "me."

Above the camel, he wrote "you."

🤣

(John Rhys-Davies also went to the same university I did. As did Kazuo Ishiguro, Ian McEwan, Tracy Chevalier, and Matt Smith, none of whom I've met. But I did meet Jasper Fforde enough times in enough places that at one point he declared himself my stalker.)

Like many nerdy bookish folks, I'd love to visit Hay-on-Wye, and could offer one of the best bookshops in the US in return (that would be this one). 😁 Haven't made it yet, but one day!

HARDLY GOLDEN - a playlist for the evolution of bediah boregard

part one | coming in kicking and screaming from growing pains: bediah’s youth is remembered in the static tunes of his father’s car radio, and the desperation to be just like him solely to keep him around. these are the echoes of his childhood when he didn’t realize this was all he had. rebellion struck early on when he started to see that he could be more than a tool, and he began to grow into the man that latched on to key west like a weed. what would it take for him to turn on the hand that gave him crumbs? bediah thrived in his father’s shadow, but his youthful shine would make him a nuance to the locals that they wouldn’t mind casting in brass. it didn’t last long, and he’d face consequence.

i. cat’s in the cradle - harry chapin ii. behind blue eyes - the who iii. hospital - counting crows iv. save a prayer - duran duran v. hey jealousy - gin blossoms

part two | blissful ignorance and rage: upon his reemergence into society after turning in years for his actions and those of his father, bediah unleashed what he had been reserved behind iron fences. he believed good was self serving and when he got what he wanted, he didn’t let go.

 vi. country song - seether vii. sex & candy - marcy playground viii. possum kingdom - toadies ix. machinehead - bush x. sos (sawed off shotgun) - the glorious sons xi. silver lining - mt. joy xii. keep it together - puddle of mudd xiii. steady, as she goes - the raconteurs xiv. spaceship - puddle of mudd xv. stockholm syndrome - muse xvi. you won’t know - brand new xvii. virgin - manchester orchestra xviii. the hand that feeds - nine inch nails xix. let’s talk about your hair - have mercy xx. fuck them all - the dangerous summer 

part three | to be good:  bediah learned to keep his down, to atone where he could while still being true to the spirit that he wanted to be his. 

xxi. ghosting - mother mother xxii. mess is mine - vance joy xxiii. where we are - the lumineers xxiv. our song- rks xxv. alligator - of monsters and men xxvi. don’t take the money - bleachers xxvii. this picture - placebo xviii. sometime around midnight - the airborne toxic event xxiv. shameful company - rks xxx. salt and the sea - the lumineers xxxi. shimmer - fuel 

part four | remembrance of what was wasted: there are parts of bediah he isn’t sure belong to himself, or the person he wanted to be in order to catch his father’s attention. his insistence robbed him of his youth, and he wonders what he can still have for himself. 

xxxii. act on impulse - we were promised jetpacks xxxiii. the middle (acoustic) - jimmy eat world xxxiv. diet soda society (acoustic) - the maine xxxv. scumbag (acoustic) - goody grace xxxvi. tell me you’re sorry (acoustic) - real friends xxxvii. she’s quiet - the home team xxxviii. hated (acoustic) - beartooth xxxix. in bloom (acoustic) - neck deep 

part five | to be better: to be good is hard, and so bediah will try to be better first. he holds his flaws not on his sleeve, but in his tattered pocket. he’s wrap their loose threads around his finger but never tug hard enough to know where they’ve unraveled from. 

xl. hear you me - jimmy eat world xli. exiles - third eye blind xlii. the funeral - band of horses [to know me as hardly golden, is to know all wrong, they were] xliii. its called: freefall - rks xliv. broadripple is burning - margot & the nuclear so and so’s xlv. civlian wye oak xlvi. save me - jelly roll xlvii. sleepwalking - live - this wild life xlviii. get on the road - tired pony xlix. coney island (ft. the national) - taylor swift l. i’ve given up on you - real friends li. placeholder - the story so far

#i realized AFTER there was a specific breakdown #oh well #━━ bediah task ｢the cost of our desired wrongs｣ #━━ bediah tunage ｢these are the daydreams that keep me clean｣ #━━ bediah musings ｢if you're weak come to me and find shameful company｣

William Paca House And Garden in Annapolis, Maryland This Georgian-Style mansion was built in the 1760s, by William Paca, the third Governor of the state of Maryland and one of four signers of the Declaration of Independence to hail from the Old Line State. In 1763, Paca was wedded to Mary Chew, a wealthy descendant of John Chew who had arrived at Jamestown in 1622. The couple has three children but only one, John, survived into adulthood. Paca became a prominent lawyer, practicing in both county and provincial courts. In 1765, he teamed up with fellow attorney Samuel Chase to form the Sons of Liberty, and lead local protests against the Stamp Act. As his political power grew throughout the late 1760s and early 1770s, Paca served as a councilman and mayor of Annapolis, and a member of the Maryland Colonial Assembly, Maryland House of Delegates, and ultimately the First Continental Congress. Mary Chew Paca died in January of 1774 at the age of 38. Later that year, he teamed up with Samuel Chase and other anti-British members of the House to form a Provisional Convention that would seize power over Maryland's government. After two years of tireless lobbying, he won the support needed to sway the vote within the Convention, leading to him and his Maryland colleagues signing the Declaration of Independence.   Paca was elected Governor of Maryland in 1782 and went on to become one of the wealthiest men in America. In 1787, he authored the provisions in the Bill of Rights for freedom of religion, freedom of the press, and legal protection for citizens accused of crimes. Paca died in 1799 at his estate on Wye Island. The William Paca House and Garden in Annapolis were painstakingly restored by Historic Annapolis in 1965, in order to allow visitors to experience the look and feel of a well-appointed colonial mansion, replete with period paintings, furnishings, and architectural details. The two-acre garden features terraced landscapes recreated from historical architectural studies, and is filled with native and heirloom plants, with a beautiful Summerhouse, reachable by a latticework bridge. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/william-paca-house-and-harden

Wye Oak: “Fortune” (2020)

“The truth is always when it's gone it's gone / but I left you a fortune.”

Wye Oak is right. There’s no denying that when it’s over, it’s over. But the significance of any relationship isn’t the amount of time spent but how much it’s worth personally. I met a follower of mine here and it was three weeks of nervous texts, commonalities, trading pics-, and openness like I never experienced before. It also came with some red flags of hers that I should’ve seen from far away and moved on, but made it all the more interesting. Three weeks lead up into spending four hours of time with someone in the same town as mine on a cloudy June Wednesday, a 20-mile drive to walk around Gardiner State Park and Argyle Lake to reveal our entire hands and have everything smoothed out. We had some moments of awkwardness but seven times that of laughs and smiles. It was an hour-long slow drive back to take her home, but I made the most of our time together. 

That Wednesday was the definitive end of what was great between us. A week later we were done. She became a totally different person by taking advantage of my anxiety, the very things she suffers from. Texts went silent, her posts to make me see her true disposable intent, and outright lying to me about future plans left me with an awfully disgusting taste in my mouth. The difference is clear as to how we saw the value in this: she was a priority and I was an option. There was more fortune in my eyes than in hers and that says a lot about me still being positive about one of the biggest mishaps I’ve ever experienced. But despite the acrimony we have for each other, I’m grateful for these positive moments spent with her, and they were better than all the nothing I had before it.
