Several of these massive rolling billboards have found a home mingling with other legacy equipment in South Janesville. A couple were sitting in a nice location and it was too hard for me to pass up the opportunity.
For those who care, this is SSW 65057.
CN's daily local out of Oakville shuffles over Sixteen Mile creek with GTW GP40-2 6420 (ex-DTI) and CN GP38-2 4906 (ex-LIRR) leading some mixed cars for switching along the way, and a block of autoparts for Aldershot.

While I always look for good leaders, cool scenes and whatnot while trackside, I also pay lots of attention to rolling stock. Some of my favorite examples of modern archeology are 86' Autoparts boxcars. There's still quite a few floating around, but they just never get old to me.
A few such cars sit with 13J, which is waiting for a better signal at East Yard. Somehow, luck dealt me a tiny space to wedge myself through a brick wall and the city's preserved depot, to grab a quick look at some illuminated examples.

NS 181, powered by NS 2522 and 7663, crests a small hill just west of Philo with my personal favorite, an NS SD70, in the lead. After getting cloud screwed in Philo, he was luckily going slow enough, due to the 121 in front of him.
Deep in the forest, I discovered this SIMCA slowly being reclaimed by nature. The soft light filtering through the trees highlights the contrast between the car's industrial past and its new role as nature's canvas, where moss creates a living patina on its aging surfaces.
STBN5 with a pair of SD50's----> CR6714,CR6763. Haley tower was still in use for this crossing of CSXT and Conrail. Neat searchlight signal for trainorders.
MTB inner tube or bicycle tube valve inner cores. Normally not seen, because it’s hidden within the valves outer enclosure. For size reference, one valve core has a total length of approx. 19 mm. At a repair shop, the take them out with a special tool, to flatten the bicycle tires fast, and then screw them in again.
The valve cores were arranged on metallized bubble foil envelopes, normally used for transport and storage of ESD sensitive parts or PCB’s

San Jon, New Mexico. A small railroad town that had its beginning in 1902. The town sits on Route 66 just west of the Texas border. The town prospered during the years prior to the arrival of I40, when traffic bypassed the town.
As the sun came out today it reflected a glimmer of light from the tail light of a car. The sweeping curves, bright red color and contrast stood out and caught my eye.

Page is a city in Coconino County, Arizona, United States, near the Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell. Unlike other cities in the area, Page was founded in 1957 as a housing community for workers and their families during the construction of nearby Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River. In 1997, Antelope Canyon was discovered on Navajo land adjacent to Page. This natural slot canyon, formed by erosion, has created a steady increase in tourism for Page, as word spread of the beauty of the canyon.

Was on a concert at the BMW world on the weekend. A BMW M logo, or BMW 50 years log not the standard BMW Logo. Hard to photograph because of the LED light, which made some strange asynchronous dark beams caused by the overhead LED for lightning, And since I did not have me macro with me, just me 56 mm, need to keep some distance and cut latter on.
Since I did not have any measurement, google offers 82 mm in diameter as the most likely size, I just cut it down a little bit.

I’ve tried to find a copy of this sign using search engines and have had no luck. There are enamel signs for Martin Senour but none that I can find like this one.
Martin Senour Paint
The Senour Paint Company was founded in 1878 when Phillip and William Senour opened a retail paint store in Chicago. Six years later, they began manufacturing paint in a mill they installed behind the store and changed the company name to The Senour Manufacturing Company. During that same year, they hired a part time salesman and errand boy named Zelotes E. Martin, who soon helped the company increase their gross earnings dramatically and eventually became president and principle owner.
The company name was changed to Martin Senour in 1903. Surviving the Great Depression and impending bankruptcy, Martin Senour became the first company to introduce a revolutionary new color system consisting of 1,500 color shades derived from 16 tinting colors in 1939. This system revolutionized the painting industry forever.
Today, Martin Senour manufactures quality paints for consumer, contractor and industrial applications and is one of the oldest and most respected paint brands in North America. Their paints are distributed throughout the U.S. nationwide through NAPA Autoparts and a network of independent paint dealers who are automotive related. Its headquarters were in Chicago, Illinois (1878-1975) and Cleveland, Ohio (1975-present). It was acquired by the Sherwin-Williams Company in 1917.
