In England, canal companies preceded railway companies. Canals were dug along a level route. Later tracks were often laid alongside and overtop of canals.

I managed to get a photo of the Oxford North canal near Hillmorton, just as an oncoming train pushed into the frame. It's all high speed, and amazing that the canal itself is in focus.

In contrast to the trains, boats on the canal travel at 3 miles per hour.

"Many gray whales now show signs of poor nutrition, and reproduction rates have dropped significantly. During the 2025 migration, only 85 mother-calf pairs were recorded moving past central California by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa), the lowest number on record. Scientists believe that shifting food availability in the Arctic, likely linked to the climate crisis, is a key factor." >>
