An accumulation from long ago..
The 1943 steel wheat penny was minted during World War II when copper was needed for the war effort. The U.S. Mint switched to steel coated with zinc. The coins are magnetic and have a silver-like appearance.

Still wearing its faded Conrail Quality paint from almost thirty years ago, FGLK 1943 leads the westbound GS-2 past the station at Martisco. The ornate station was built in 1870 by the Auburn and Syracuse railroad, and still appears to be in good condition, housing a museum.
Story time: On our way to the LS&I in Marquette, MI, we spent the night in Saint Paul. The next morning was spent catching various trains around the Twin Cities. We were driving along the river and we noticed the UP bridge was down and signal was lit. We barely missed the head-end of the MSSAL on the bridge and decided to make our way to the walking path in the event of a nose-out DPU. There was another photographer already there and he asked how we were planning on shooting this train. We replied that we were hoping for a nose-out DPU and he said, “there is. It’s the 1943 as a manned helper.” Needless to say we were completely shocked when, sure enough, 1943 came around the curve, headlights on, shoving the train.

Sandy City Balloon Festival: Still not able to walk much especially after being locked down during covid. So, I parked myself on a blanket on a hill and just used my old 28-300 Nikon lens. This area is kind of a bowl and is used for soccer and baseball clubs and is also a rainwater runoff catch basin. I took about 200 images, so I will have images to post for quite a while. Started at about 6:30 am.
1694-dark starts at this image and uses the left arrow and they will be in the order of time taken.
(I am aware of the repeating heads I only realised after I'd taken it and didn't want to go to the trouble to setting everything up to redo it)
The first figure (Same as in 1940) is an RAF airman, representing not only the bomber campaign over Germany but one of the most famous raids of the Second World War. The Dambusters raid in May 1943 attacked German dams in the Ruhr, a heavily industry area using a specially designed bomb. The flooding caused put factories out of action and stopped any water fueled power stations from generating electricity. The second figure represents the German army's retreat through Russia as the Russian army with new tactics and more men gain the upper hand. In July of 1943 Commonwealth and American forces landed at Sicily to begin the Italian campaign following after the African campaign. And finally is a French Resistance fighter, which represents the increased attacks on German communications, vehicles and men as the invasion of Europe drew closer.
Thanks for taking a look, would love to hear your comments as always. :)
I set up this scene to showcase the advancing british troops in Sicily.
Hope you like the scene. Comments are always appreciated.

After a head scratchingly slow trip through Council Bluffs and Omaha, 1943 heads for points south with an engineering special just after glorious morning sunshine was obscured by high clouds moving in from the south. Things that make you pull your hair out!
UP 1943 leads its train into Proviso Yard, with a UP 6576 and KCS 4785 trailing. The light power sitting under the signal bridge was only seconds away from blocking this view of the 1943 as it was flying towards proviso.
As the fall colors begin to fade away in Milbank, SD, the Aberdeen Local notches up to full throttle as they lug a decent train west. The BN green definitely stands out against the yellows and blues.
Last shot I would get with the wonderful morning light before clouds would take over the rest of the day. 1943 continuing east outside Gothenburg
UP 1943 shoving the M-SSAL over the Mississippi River in St Paul, MN. The story behind this one is pretty unreal.
We knew 1943 was in the area as UP was planning to put it on display for Depot Days over at Union Depot the following weekend, so we didn't think we would end up seeing it. We noticed a UP manifest passing over the bridge here so we went ahead and set up just in case it had a DPU. Not many trains pass over this bridge and it was definitely a shot we wanted. Another guy was watching the train when we pulled in and he turned out to be a UP employee that was out shooting the train. He told us 1943 was being used as a manned helper on the tail of the Manifest. At first we weren't too sure if that was true but some time passed and sure enough, here came 1943 around the corner. He had even contacted the crew onboard and had them turn all the lights on for us. They also gave a little hornshow after they passed by. This will definitely be a story I won't forget.
