A classic Chevrolet Apache pickup truck, specifically a model from the 1958 or 1959 production years, which were part of the Chevrolet Task Force series.
Possibly not the original paint job
The Chevrolet Apache was built between 1955-61. Apache is a term used by Chevrolet to cover all its light duty trucks. This beauty was catching everybody's eyes as it rolled down the main street of St. Jacobs (King Street).

Only a month or two before it was announced that the paper mill in Snowflake, AZ was closing, six Apache Alcos pull a loaded coal train south with all their might. A pleasant shortline adventure on a trip focused on mainline steam. May 2012.
This is the magnificent Golden Hour at Bosque Del Apache Bird Sanctuary. It had taken us three days to get here and from what I was seeing, it was totally worth it.
The heat hit me as I got out of the truck. I had to witness this impressive landscape. Breath the air. Smell the land. Listen to the sounds of such a remarkable but different countryside. I snapped a few shots, embracing the light. I could not believe the superb colour that was before my eyes. The sky was so blue. The soil beneath my feet so red.
It was silent, so still. Not a sound, except, what was that? A tiny, almost inaudible rustling, right in front of me, amongst the tall, thick, fiery orange grasses. Yes - the grass was moving - ever so slightly. There was no wind. What could it be?
I moved with conscience stealth closer and closer with my camera ready. The sound encompassed about twenty feet to my right and another twenty feet to my left. I watched and moved closer to the edge of the road.
I saw it! OMG! One, two, three, four. I called to my husband to get out of the truck and see what I was seeing. Five, six, seven, eight...
Philip walked over to where I was standing and we both stood in utter disbelief!
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve Javelinas! They look like pigs but they are in the same family as the Hippopotamus. What a treat!
Sliding to and fro about the interchange at Holbrook, three desert distractions build their train to tonnage while the spring sunshine warms the high desert's back. With a mindful eye on the encroaching haze and the surprising need for a light extra layer, things weren't looking peachy for their departure, so the sake of posterity saw me sprinting along the floodwall like a gotdamned loon to ensure some extra sunny frames while they shifted their traffic. Fortunately my efforts would be for naught, as the sky broke itself up as they made their way south, but I can't sneeze on this frame either!
The Apache Trail to Canyon Lake, was my chosen annual birthday ride. I wanted an epic ride to mark the special occasion.

The Apache railway switches their train in Holbrook, AZ at the interchange with BNSF on a beautiful October morning. We were super lucky to get an Apache run out in AZ, and hung around all day waiting for them to finish work and head back. It was a lovely break from orange bongas, and gave us some much needed variety.
2024 has sort of been the "year of the ALCO" for me, at least compared to most years. After an August visit to the LAL and B&H, September found me in eastern Arizona with a pretty flexible schedule, and so finally visiting the famous Apache Railway was a high priority.
The APA is down to running generally only once a week to the interchange at Holbrook from their headquarters down near Snowflake, Arizona, plus occasionally extra moves due to wind turbine parts trains that have been being delivered periodically. But as a classy railroad with really nice people, they certainly put on a good show when they do run!
This particular week the primary move turned out to be on Tuesday. The crew ran slightly early because they had a mess to sort out in the yard at Holbrook left by the BNSF, and they would spend several hours switching. But with switching finished, the crew is finally rolling south with the APA 98, 83, and 99 leading the way approaching Romero St. Reaching the edge of yard limits and just starting to dig into the grade up out of town, the three Alco Centuries are doing what Montreal and Schenectady intended them to do best when they left the factory almost 60 years ago.
I would be remiss not to give a huge tip of the hat to Dennis Stern for his great help that made catching this show possible!
The traditional lands of the Apache Ndeh (The People) extended from Texas through New Mexico and Arizona into Mexico and California. Over time, the many bands of Apache were forcibly relocated to reservations. The San Carlos Apache Reservation was established in 1871. According to the U.S. Census, approximately 6,927 individuals live on the San Carlos Apache Reservation--1.8 million acres spanning three counties in eastern Arizona.
San Carlos Apache are known for their peridot jewelry and Apache basketry. Peridot is the birthstone for August and San Carlos is home to the world's largest deposit of the crystal.
More than half (65 percent) of households speak a language other than English.* Roughly 32 percent of all members are under 18 years of age, and the median age for the tribe is 28.1, compared to 37.1 for the state of Arizona. The San Carlos Apache Tribe has a poverty rate of 48 percent, which is significantly higher than Arizona's 17.7 percent poverty rate.
The Tribe operates Apache Gold Casino, a golf course, a commercial sawmill, a 500-acre farm, and cattle ranching operations.

This is a 2 shot HDR panorama i made just a few weeks ago while on a long weekend trip to Myrtle Beach SC. This is the Apache Pier just a few minutes walk up the beach from my sisters condo. It sure is nice having something to photograph so close to the condo.
Catwa’s latest head, Sarah, is brilliant. The thick lips are perhaps my favorite part on this beautiful head and the head still retains that perfect nose which has become a Catwa trademark. Like the other heads, this too has an expressions hud add on and I am wearing the Default Lips and .....

Apache plume is the common name for fallugia paradoxa. It is a common plant in the desert areas of New Mexico. It produces small rose-like white flowers. When the petals drop off, the long fibers appear, each one attached to a seed. It is quite a sight to see an entire shrub covered in these pink furry growths. This bush was one of many in the Santa Fe Botanical Garden.
The eastbound Southwest Chief crosses one of four bridges over Galisteo Creek squeezing through the narrow Apache Canyon north of Lamy, New Mexico. Amazing how this canyon was selected for the grade of the Santa Fe - a true masterpiece of railroad construction.
