Nachdem sich der morgendliche Nebel annähernd aufgelöst hatte, das Frühstück verzehrt war und die kleinen Optimierungen am Fahrweg durch das örtliche Stellwerkspersonal abgeschlossen waren, konnte ich am 18. Oktober 2017 bei Brzeszcze einen hübschen Ganzzug beladen mit RMCOIL-Containermulden der Firma "Laude.pl" fotografieren. Diese Firma hat sich auf den Transport/Umschlag von eigens angefertigen Spezialcontainer für Stück- oder Schüttgut spezialisiert. Die Zuglok ist Eigentum vom Lokvermieter "Industrial Division Sp. z o.o.". Leider konnte ich bisher nicht herausfinden für welches EVU die hübsche silber-hellblaue bei SKODA in Pilsen hergestelle Lokomotive unterwegs gewesen ist. Kann da vielleicht jemand helfen? Evtl. CIECH Cargo?

Emilio Longoni (Barlassina, 9 July 1859 - Milan, 29 November 1932) - Child with trumpet and horse (1893-96) - Oil on canvas applied on cardboard 41 x 18 cm. - Exhibition Divisionism The revolution of light - Novara Castle
Il Divisionismo nasce a Milano, sulla stessa premessa del Neo-Impressionnisme francese, meglio noto come Pointillisme, senza tuttavia che si possa parlare di influenza diretta. Muove dall’idea che lo studio dei trattati d’ottica, che hanno rivoluzionato il concetto di colore, debba determinare la tecnica del pittore moderno. Si sviluppa nel Nord d’Italia, grazie soprattutto al sostegno di Vittore Grubicy de Dragon, mercante d’arte, critico, pubblicista e a sua volta pittore, che con il fratello Alberto gestisce a partire del 1876 una galleria d’arte a Milano. E’ Vittore a diffondere tra i pittori della sua scuderia il principio della sostituzione della miscela chimica dei colori tradizionalmente ottenuta sulla tavolozza, con un approccio diretto all’accostamento dei toni complementari sulla tela. Da dato chimico, il colore diventa fenomeno ottico e alla dovuta distanza l’occhio dello spettatore può ricomporre le pennellate staccate in una sintesi tonale, percependo una maggior luminosità nel dipinto.
Divisionism was born in Milan, on the same premise as the French Neo-Impressionnisme, better known as Pointillisme, without however being able to speak of direct influence. It starts from the idea that the study of optical treatises, which have revolutionized the concept of color, should determine the technique of the modern painter. It develops in Northern Italy, thanks above all to the support of Vittore Grubicy de Dragon, art dealer, critic, publicist and in turn painter, who with his brother Alberto has been managing an art gallery in Milan since 1876. Vittore spreads the principle of replacing the chemical mixture of colors traditionally obtained on the palette among the painters in his stable, with a direct approach to the combination of complementary tones on the canvas. From chemical data, the color becomes an optical phenomenon and at the necessary distance the viewer's eye can recompose the detached brush strokes in a tonal synthesis, perceiving a greater brightness in the painting.

Special:
- Cadillac was formed from the remnants of the Henry Ford Company when Henry Ford departed along with several of his key partners and the company was dissolved. With the intent of liquidating the firm's assets, Ford's financial backers, William Murphy and Lemuel Bowen called in engineer Henry M. Leland to appraise the plant and equipment prior to selling them. Instead, Leland persuaded them to continue the automobile business using Leland's proven 1-cylinder engine. Henry Ford's departure required a new name, and on August 22, 1902, the company reformed as the Cadillac Automobile Company.
- The Cadillac automobile was named after the 17th century French explorer Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, who founded Detroit in 1701.
- Cadillac was purchased by the General Motors conglomerate in 1909. Cadillac became General Motors' prestige division, devoted to the production of large luxury vehicles. In the United States, the name became a synonym for "high quality", used in such phrases as "the Cadillac of watches," referring to a Rolex. In English usage outside North America, other brands are used in such phrases - usually Rolls-Royce.
- The Cadillac line was also GM's default marque for "commercial chassis" institutional vehicles, such as limousines, ambulances, hearses, and funeral home flower cars. The latter three of which were custom built by aftermarket manufacturers: Cadillac does not produce any such vehicles in factory.
- The original Series 62 was designed by Harley Earl, inspired by the space program and the era of jet engines. For the ’55 models, he introduced its unique rear-deck styling and outrageous new “Shark Fin” tail fins usually called “Rocket-Ship” tail fins.
- The name "DeVille" is from the French "de la ville" or "de ville" meaning "of the town".
- It came standard with knobby, P-38 inspired tail fins, radio, electric windshield washers, heater, leather interior, full carpeting (also in the trunk area), power seats and power windows.
- This Cadillac was built for comfort and not for speed: it’s a real cruiser and could carry six individuals comfortably.
- The 1958 Series 62 was available as this 2-door Coupé DeVille, as 4-door 6239D Sedan DeVillle (23,989 units built), as 4-door 6239 Sedan (13,335 units built), as 2-door 6239E Extended Sedan (20,952 units built), as 2-door 6237 Coupé (18,736 units built), as 2-door 6237S Eldorado Seville Coupé (855 units built), as 2-door 6267S Eldorado Biarritz Convertible (815 units built) and as 2-door 6267 Convertible (7,825 units built).
- This fifth generation Series 62 (1957-1958), and last Harley Earl design (the iconic ’59 huge tailfins with dual bullet tail lights were designed by Bill Mitchell), was assembled in Detroit (Michigan) and in South Gate (California).

Special:
- The Imperial name had been used since 1926, but was never a separate make, just the top-of-the-line Chrysler, until 1955 when it was launched and registered as a separate luxury marque.
- The new "Fuselage Look" with rounded "tumblehome" sides, bulging at the belt line, and tucking in down to the rocker panels was designed by Elwood Engel.
- This new styling made the cars look longer and wider and surrounded the passengers in a hull-like fashion, similar to an aircraft, hence the reference to "fuselage".
- The 1970 Imperial (Chrysler) Imperial Crown Series was available as this 4-door Hardtop and as 2-door YL23 Hardtop (254 units built).
- This fourth generation Crown (1969-1973) was assembled at the Jefferson Avenue Assembly, Detroit (Michigan - USA).
