Alaska has scenery by the bucket full and as it is difficult to travel into the interior; most of us tourists only get to see a fraction.
The majority of Alaska is still "a wild place".

Five years ago today a BC Rail C44-9WL somehow ended up on CSX Cumberland-Hagerstown local D720, and is seen here passing through Pinesburg, MD, on the former Western Maryland Lurgan Sub.
This week we are going back to 1988 and to D 720 on Aston Quay with a 79 to Ballyfermot.Route 79 to Ballyfermot began in 1949. The original terminus was on Kylemore Road before being extended to Cherry Orchard Avenue in 1985. In the early 1990s it was then extended to Spiddal Park where it still terminates today. The early 2000s saw it share a lot of its routing with the 79A which operates to Parkwest.
D 720 was delivered new to Limerick in 1975. It moved to Dublin in 1986 and operated out of Conyngham Road Garage until 1993, when it was withdrawn. It was sold for scrap in 1994.

The Peder Skram class frigate was a class of frigate built for the Royal Danish Navy in the period 1964 - 1967. Only two vessels in this class were ever constructed, Peder Skram F352 and Herluf Trolle F353. The ships were named after Danish Admirals Peder Skram and Herluf Trolle
The ships were modernised in 1976-78 and fitted with guided missiles. Herluf Trolle suffered a serious engine room fire in 1982 and was repaired by 1983. Both ships were placed in reserve in 1987 decommissioned in 1990. Peder Skram is preserved and open to the public at the naval station in Copenhagen. Herluf Trolle was scrapped in Belgium in 1995.

The Institut Jeanne d'Arc, in Danish often: "Den Franske Skole", was a French-language Roman Catholic school at 74 Frederiksberg Allé in the Frederiksberg district of central Copenhagen, Denmark. Established in 1924, it was accidentally bombed by the Royal Air Force on 21 March 1945, causing the death of 86 children and 18 adults.
On 21 March 1945, in response to a request by the Danish resistance that the Copenhagen Gestapo headquarters should be destroyed, 20 RAF Mosquitos left for Copenhagen on a mission designated Operation Carthage. The target was Shellhuset (The Shell House) on Kampmannsgade in the city centre which housed the Gestapo.
One of the Mosquitos in the first of three waves hit a tall lamppost, causing it to crash into a garage close to the school. Two of the Mosquitos in the second wave mistook the ensuing fire as their target and dropped their bombs on the French School, killing 86 children and 16 adults and wounding 67 children and 35 adults.
