Seguramente el apostar cañones en Brownsville, Texas, apuntando hacia Matamoros, Tamaulipas, era la estrategia que se tenía preparada para invadir México. Situación que culminó con la invasión de Veracruz por la Marina Norteamericana, el 21 de abril de 1914. Recuerde que la Marina Americana estaba apostada en aguas tampiqueñas depués del "incidente" de día 9 de abril. Estas fotos del 5 DE ABRIL, SEGURAMENTE DE 1914, hablan que Woodrow Wilson ya venía preparando la provocación y el conflicto armado con México. Bain News used the sticker to print month, day and year. Why is it blanck?

For a moment I thought it was the River Blyth! A fascinating image though and shows what an important river the Tyne was back then. (it still is) If we'd seen the other side of the river it would be buried beneath staithes loading coal for export. Here's what the above yard looks like now. It's beneath the plus in the centre.

You can see the coveyor and loading gantry for the iron ore trains to Consett on the other side of the dock gates. There aren't many other pictures of it that I'm aware of.

A wet evening in April by Patrick Kavanagh The birds sang in the wet trees And I listened to them it was a hundred years from now And I was dead and someone else was listening to them. But I was glad I had recorded for him The melancholy.

In 1852 it was foreseen that the junction at Clones would enable not great things in stimulating trade and industry not only in the areas crossed by the lines and the regions linked by the lines but also bring great prosperity to Belfast (and everyone would live happily ever after). At any rate, that was the opinion of Belfast News-Letter onWednesday 15 December 1852

That these designs will be realised we have not the slightest doubt when we consider what sort of link "The Belfast and West of Ireland Junction Railway" will really form in the great iron net-work of the North. At Clones, it will catch the traffic brought down by the Derry and Enniskillen line in one direction, and by the Sligo and Enniskillen extension in another. At the same point it will receive nutrition from another great " feeder," which will undoubtedly be in operation before long - we allude to the branch of the Great Midland from Mullingar to Cavan, and thence extended to Clones ; whilst along its entire length it will collect the traffic now in a state of rapid development throughout that considerable and fertile district which trends South-west from Armagh. To this hitherto unopened, or very imperfectly opened, region, it will impart a stimulus to manufacture and agriculture which will speedily enable it to rival the most favoured portions of the North-east; and whilst the line will have this beneficial effect on the country it traverses, it will throw the whole industrial result into Belfast, and thus materially add to the opulence, influence, and greatness of the Northern capital.
