Interstate 75 (I-75) is a part of the Interstate Highway System that runs from Miami, Florida, to Sault Ste. Marie in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I-75 enters Michigan from Ohio in the south, north of Toledo and runs generally northward through Detroit, Pontiac and Bay City, crosses the Mackinac Bridge, and ends at the Canadian border in Sault Ste. Marie. The freeway runs for approximately 396 miles (637 km) on both of Michigan's peninsulas. The landscapes traversed by I-75 include Southern Michigan farmland, northern forests, suburban bedroom communities, and the urban core of Detroit. The freeway also uses three of the state's monumental bridges to cross major bodies of water. There are four auxiliary Interstates in the state related to I-75, as well as nine current or former business routes, with either Business Loop I-75 (BL I-75) or Business Spur I-75 (BS I-75) designations.
The freeway bears several names in addition to the I-75 designation. The southern segment was called the Detroit–Toledo Expressway during planning in the 1950s and 1960s. Through Detroit, I-75 is the Fisher Freeway or the Walter P. Chrysler Freeway, named for pioneers in the auto industry. Sections on either side of the Mackinac Bridge are the G. Mennen Williams Freeway or the Prentiss M. Brown Freeway, named for politicians who helped get the bridge built. Officially, the entire length is the American Legion Memorial Highway, after the organization of the same name. Various sections carry components of the four Great Lakes Circle Tours in the state.
Several Indian trails spanned the state along the general path of the modern freeway. After statehood, several of these were converted into plank roads that later became some of the first state highways. In the 1920s, five of these were added to the United States Numbered Highway System: US Highway 2 (US 2), US 10, US 24, US 25, and US 27. In the 1950s, a Michigan Turnpike was proposed as a tolled, controlled-access highway in the Lower Peninsula. After passage of the Federal Highway Act of 1956, this turnpike proposal was shelved as a free Interstate Highway was planned.
Construction started in 1957, signs went up in 1959, and I-75 was completed in 1973. Since completion, the freeway has been upgraded with the construction of the Zilwaukee Bridge near Saginaw and improved connections to the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit.

Midnight was fast approaching when I realized I hadn't taken my photo for the day. I told myself I was only going to take one shot, for better or for worse.
So you get me with bloodshot eyes from staring at a pc and the Xbox all day.
Brian and I both won our bids on Ebay! Yay! I got over 1000 35mm slides from the 60's. I am going to make a curtain from them and hang them on the french doors to block some of the harsh sun (picture a stain glass window) Brian was bidding on a Mamiya C330 camera with lenses and such. He got over $600 worth of equipment for half that price.
I was on pins and needles as it came down to last minute bidding wars on both our parts. I was already outbid on one set of slides from the 50's earlier in the day and was heartbroken! Reminded me of why I don't do Ebay. That was our day in a nutshell! Tomorrow (today) I get to go get my hair done finally!!!
Followed this fellow trekker and put him in the frame to give some interest to the picture.

I don't have any doubt this is 122 with an unidentified sister approaching Sandycove with a Connolly - Rosslare Harbour evening service. The date however, is uncertain and 1983 is a "best guess".

As we got nearer we could see Honister Slate Mine and it's huge car park. Our guide book rather downplayed the size of the place, making it sound like it was some tiny little hut or something, but this is a full blown "Slate Experience" with zip wires and everything

Yesterday was my last full day in America. It began in Brooklyn, where Peter had taken us so that he could visit his grandmother; while I rested in a pizza parlor, sipping a ginger ale and reading the Scarlet Letter - I bought a 6.95 special pizza, by the way, which Peter and I both enjoyed in the car. Later, we briefly partook in the festivities of a verily authentic Italian cafe, which Peter so desired to show me and in which elderly men had gathered to watch football (Juventus versus Manchester United), to smoke and to kick up the banter typical of these sagacious, cultural folk. In the evening, Mark and I met at Starbucks, to play chess and to test, once more, our respective price sensitives against an armada of niched coffees. I drank the lemonade.

Here we see the RPSI Spare Link Rail tour, worked by ex-DSER 2-6-0 loco No.461, passing through Clonsilla Station as it approaches the recently re-opened branch to Dunboyne. You can see the green signal and the route indicator set for the branch in the distance.
As well as shooting stills I also shot video which you can see on my YouTube channel.

Approaching one of many points along the edge of Chadburn Lake near Whitehorse in southern Yukon. It was a beautiful day and the cold water of the lake complimented the heat from the sun perfectly.
