Another from Shelby's senior portrait session. After getting to know her over the last year, we were really honored that she asked us to take her senior pics. She's a wonderful young lady and I believe she's got a bright future ahead.

The 47 class are a class of diesel-electric locomotives built by A Goninan & Co for the Public Transport Commission in 1972/73.
Twenty were ordered from A Goninan & Co with the first delivered in July 1972. After undergoing acceptance trails the first entered service in September 1972 with the last delivered in May 1973. Originally intended for use hauling coal services in the Hunter Valley, they were allocated to Bathurst to operate services in the state's west from Lithgow to Euabalong West, Bourke and Cootamundra and all branches in between. Their excellent ride qualities saw them find favour with crews, although they did suffer from overheating with one destroyed by fire in April 1974 and another in a collision in March 1977.
In January 1981 it was decided to transfer the class to Broadmeadow to take up the duties they had originally been built for being used to haul coal services from Belmont, Dudley, Lambton and Pelton. They also saw use on services to Werris Creek, Tamworth and Moree. They continued to return to Bathurst Workshops for overhaul. A downturn in traffic as a result of a drought saw them placed in store at Parkes in 1982/83 before all were reactivated in 1984 resuming duties out of Broadmeadow.
Despite their favouritism with crews, their high maintenance costs saw them selected for withdrawal in 1989 with only six in service or under repair by November 1989 with the last being taken out of service in December 1990.
In 1990 the Lachlan Valley Railway purchased 47s 01 and 08 followed in February 1994 by 02, 03, 07 and 16. A later purchase was 4717. These were used to operate wheat services in the Cowra region in 1993/94.
In June 1999 they commenced operating trip working services between Port Botany and the Cooks River container terminal in Sydney for Lachlan Valley Rail Freight followed in July 1999 by a service between Cooks River and Carrington for R&H Transport Services.
Five Lachlan Valley Railway units remain in service, primarily operating infrastructure trains for Southern Shorthaul Railroad.

The Class 153 Units were the product of splitting up the Class 155 units and adding a cramped cab on the inner ends. This produced a versatile unit which could be added to strengthen other units or operate on their own.
The Cardiff allocation were always a good bet to arrive in Manchester on a Sunday as these were the units which operated the Central Wales line and recessed at Crewe over the Saturday night and these trains were used to return the units to Cardiff.

British Rail Class 90 25kV electric locomotive 90009 at Norwich Station at the end of the Great Eastern Main Line in Norwich (UK).
90009 has previously been named 'Royal Show', 'The Economist' and most recently 'Diamond Jubilee' along with a full size Union Flag on the side but these have all been removed.
90009 was built at British Rail Crewe Works and entered service on September 7th 1988.

British Rail Class 220 'Voyager' 4 car Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) 2200XX working the 1V42 06:10 (10:29 12L) Cross Country Trains Derby- Plymouth service train westbound at Totnes Station on the South Devon Main Line in Devon (UK) on June 25th 2018.
Note the lack of any obvious numbers to quickly identify this Class 220 unit for enthusiasts and railwaymen alike. Very irritating.
Also note the 'Dellner Coupling' at the front of the train which is a version of the Scharfenberg coupler that connects pneumatics and electronics at the same point of contact.
The energy absorption technology in a Dellner Coupling is designed to allow an accidental collision up to 9 mph with no structural damage and up to 22 mph with some carriage deformation, however up to this speed the train should remain upright and on the track.

The Dirty Knees Parade.
Second in from the right could have been me. mop style haircut, tie not straight, jumper not neat, trousers down to my knees, wellingtons up to my jnees ( a cunning plan the made it impossible for the teacher to use the cane on my legs).
From the days when elastic in socks lasted only one month, then it was garters made out of elastic for the next three months if you needed to keep your socks up to your knees (a demand in some schools), you got a new pair of socks the following term.
When your wore wellingtons in school, socks often remained at your ankles for most of the day.

UP 3000, the class unit for the SD70AH-T4's on the UP, leads an empty rock train. It is going by the south end of Hicks Siding named after the WWI era airfield that is still operated near by as a private airstrip.
We offer a wide variety of fitness classes to help you stay active, while balancing a busy lifestyle of work and social time.
Mild exercise (such as Yoga or core workout) can release endorphins, which are the hormones that give you that post-exercise feel-good factor.
More vigorous exercise (such as Zumba or Spin) can help with managing your weight, using up calories that would otherwise be stored as fat.
