The Curtiss P-40 was an American single-engine, single-seat, all-metal fighter and ground attack aircraft that first flew in 1938. It was used by the air forces of 28 nations, including those of most Allied powers during World War II, and remained in front line service until the end of the war. By November 1944, when production of the P-40 ceased, 13,738 had been built, all at Curtiss-Wright Corporation's main production facility at Buffalo, New York.
The P-40 design was a modification of the previous Curtiss P-36; this reduced development time and enabled a rapid entry into production and operational service.
Warhawk was the name the United States Army Air Corps adopted for all models, making it the official name in the United States for all P-40s. The British Commonwealth and Soviet air forces used the name Tomahawk for models equivalent to the P-40B and P-40C, and the name Kittyhawk for models equivalent to the P-40D and all later variants.
More replica signs were made for another charter, like this replica of the Toronto The Better Way sign that was used in some promotional photos you may have seen.

Gray Line, Seattle 40 A55036X was Grosvenor Coach Lines 604 2W98511 and was part of the batch of 10 built for sightseeing operations in San Francisco. Four of them ended up in Seattle with the Gray Line Sightseeing operation there and during a visit in June 2009 this was one of two operating as open toppers. This photo shows it loading passengers at Peir 55, the second waterfront stop on the tour.

So yah, allegedly Thursday was going to be a day off to sleep and clean up the house and stuff.
Instead everything I burned the other day was wrong EVEN THOUGH the client had already approved it. "oh, wait, this isn't right afterall, oops"
Then another thing had a bunch of changes after I burned those discs, then yet another thing, and ANOTHER thing.
In the end I played courier and drove discs to a client with 20min to spare.
Saturday I will have to do this same drive again to deliver one of the other fixes.
This is why I leave town so often :)
This is long. geeze.

Number 40
2-8-0 "Consolidation"
This coal-fired locomotive was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works (#58824) of Philadelphia, PA. in December 1925 and sold new to the Lancaster and Chester Railway Co., of Lancaster, South Carolina at a price of $25,125.96.
Dubbed as "The Springfield Line" for the textiles made by the cotton mills the railroad served, the Lancaster & Chester Railway used the utilitarian 40 primarily as a freight engine. The 40 apparently became surplus motive power for the L&C after World War II, leading to the locomotive's sale in 1947 to the neighboring Cliffside Railroad Co. in North Carolina.
On the Cliffside-also a prosperous textile carrier-the 40 shared the responsibilities Vulcan-built 2-6-2 No. 110. Interestingly, the 40 was regulated to secondary service, as Cliffside crews preferred using the considerably smaller 110. When the railroad took delivery of a second-hand 35 ton diesel electric in early 1962, the last steam run was made for company officials and special guests using the 110 on July 20 of that year.
In 1962 the 40 was retubed in anticipation of future use, however, this never transpired due to the sudden diesel purchase. Instead, Steam Trains, Inc. from Pennsylvania purchased the locomotive for $5,000 and shipped it north with spare parts for storage at the Reading's Beech Street roundhouse in Wilmington, Delaware and later at the Reading's St. Clair shops. In 1966, much of other Steam Trains equipment was assembled in a transfer move to New Hope, PA., with the 40 dead-in-tow.
Although it was in operating condition, the 40 only saw service on the New Hope and Ivyland during the 1967 season. It underwent a major rebuilding in 1974, and replaced 4-6-0 No. 1533 in NHIR passenger service beginning in 1975. While the 40 operated periodically during the late 1970s, it frequently pulled New Hope Steam Railway passenger trains from 1981 to 1986. During the latter period, the locomotive was decorated as a circus freak, wearing flashy florescent colors and garish tender heralds. Last steamed during the 1986 season, the 40 was stored unserviceable for the next couple of years.
Because the future of the railroad seemed questionable at that time, the NHSR was reluctant to make the necessary repairs to repair the 40 for service. When the Bucks County Railroad Preservation and Restoration Corporation purchased the railroad in 1990 they engaged their own mechanical forces and those of the Strasburg Rail Road in extensively rebuilding the 40, which was completed in June 1991. Now in excellent mechanical condition, the 40 has been returned to a more original appearance and currently serves the New Hope and Ivyland as its only operating steam locomotive.

Definitely one of the most 'famous' neon signs in Columbus, this has lit up W. Broad street for many decades. Named after the National Road, AKA U.S. Route 40, of which W. Broad Street is as it goes through the west side of Columbus then out to the country, it has been a landmark of sorts for at least 50 years. If anyone in Columbus wants to see true vintage neon still in action, W. Broad and E. Main streets (and possibly some areas of High St.) are your best bets.
