It's a summer Friday, and McCloud Railway is running its weekly train east to the BNSF interchange at Lookout, California. The train runs with just engineer Malen Johnson; a helper will drive to Lookout and assist him with the switching moves there. The last 34 miles into Lookout are over BNSF-owned track that is operated and maintained by MR.
When this image was exposed at Bartle siding in August 2001, the future was looking bleak. In a couple of years, BNSF would enter into a haulage agreement with Union Pacific that enabled abandonment of the old Great Northern from Lookout west to Hambone. Traffic off MR for BNSF would go to UP at Mount Shasta, and UP would then turn it over to BNSF at Klamath Falls, Oregon. The last McCloud Railway train to Lookout ran in December 2003.
Ultimately, MR stopped hauling freight entirely in mid-2006. All its trackage east of McCloud is now abandoned and dismantled. For now, BNSF has left a couple miles of the line west of Lookout in place. This spur to nowhere is used periodically for car storage.

”Who’s there?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Walter Newell, an oceanographer and engineer based in New York City. Yeah, New York, the home of every generic and clichéd superhero story. Well guess what? Buckle up as you’re in for the ride of… well… another one of those stories. Walter Newell, like many scientists that have come and pass has begun creating a device that promises to be a “step in the right direction” in his field of science. Have you heard that one before?
Thought so.
Here’s some generic backstory to get you caught up to speed:
All his life, Walter has been fascinated with the ocean. He was intrigued as a young boy by the movies that depicted the creatures that roamed the deep blue abyss. The thing that stood out the most was the fact that there was so much about the ocean that has yet to be discovered. When new findings would emerge he would be jealous of those men and women that were lucky enough to be there. So, he did everything he could to ensure his future as someone that would become famous making new discoveries about the ocean. He read, watched, and studied everything he could about the ocean.
With his head full of, figuratively, everything one could know about the ocean he applied to the best school that had the very program he knew would get him a job with a major company. His goal was a company that stood out to him. This company had shown interest in almost anyone that would show up at their doorstep with an idea to give to them. Well that was if you wanted to make an advancement in technology. Walter had poured over this for the years and years he spent in college.
Now before we get to that, we’ll need to visit a girl. This girl was anything but ordinary. Her name was Diane. She loved the ocean as much as, if not more than, Walter. The two rivaled each other with every assignment they were given. They always had identical test scores and were co-valedictorians as they graduated. In the following months after they’re graduation, they began to date. This moved quickly as Walter asked Diane if she would like to help him with his project. Without hesitation, she said yes. So, they began working on something that would be sure to set them apart from anyone else trying to get a job at…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Advanced Idea Mechanics?” Diane asked.
”Yeah, I’ve heard a lot of great things about them.”
“Alright. Let’s do this!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It took them a little over a year to fully develop a reasonable idea. They took their idea to Advanced Idea Mechanics and got enough funding for a prototype. During the building time, Walter proposed to Diane and they were set to marry the next summer. With everything coming up in spades, Walter felt like he was finally making a name for himself. His once rival was now his best friend and fiancé. His passion turned into his job and without his knowing, there was another surprise that Diane was hiding from him until they finished their prototype.
A few months after they had begun, Walter and Diane had a finished prototype of their idea. A suit that would allow divers to go even further than a submarine could. This suit, with modifications they had planned if they got funding to make a second version, would be able to aid the diver in swimming faster and breathing fresh air longer. All of this had the organization’s head, Mister Benton, very intrigued. So much so that he granted them a green light on the project. So with the necessary funding, material, and extra hands, the duo began planning the development of the…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“’Project Stingray’.”
”Why Stingray?”
“I’ve always had a love of the creature. They’re very much so like humans. Each has their own personality and their own distinct features. Stingrays are remarkable beings.”
”Alright, let’s do this.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The team focused on building one suit to showcase that they could indeed make this thing a reality. While this was going on, Diane let Walter in on a little secret she had kept from him for almost a month. This was the fact that she was pregnant. Walter became overjoyed and ran through the building’s corridors screaming and jumping for joy. He was happier than he had ever been… unfortunately, happier than he would ever be…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“The Stingray suit, built to last in the depths of the ocean. The world record for the deepest human dive is just over a thousand feet, and with the aid of this suit you can go double or even triple that. The lightweight material this armor is made of can survive the extreme pressures of the deep blue.” Diane says as she unveils a red and black diving suit. She looks over at her boss and smiled as his mouth was wide open in shock.
“That’s impressive. We know that for sure?” Mister Benton replies with slight concern.
“Well…” Diane begins to speak but is cut off by Walter.
”Well we’ve yet to test it, but there’s a very slim chance that our calculations are off.”
“I want it tested before I pitch this to the board.” Mister Benton turns around and walks out of the lab.
“Alright, let's do... (cough! Cough!)” Diane walks over to a table while suffering a coughing fit.
”Are you okay?” Walter says as he places his hand on his fiancé’s back.
“Yeah, it’s just my... (cough!)”
”We’ve got to get you home.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
”So that’s why I’m doing this.” Walter said to his boss with a muffled sigh.
“Doing what?” His boss quickly answered.
”Why I’m leaving.” Walter took a deep breath as he held back tears. ”I’m taking an early leave to be with my wife. She’s dying and I need to be with her.”
“Y’know you can still work here, right?” Benton says as he stands up from his chair and walks over to the side of the desk Walter sits at.
”I know.” Walter looks down at his shoes. ”I just want to be with her right now.”
“I understand. Listen, if… when you want to come back, you’ve got your job.” Mister Benton outreaches his hand and smiles as Walter takes his hand and shakes it firmly.
”Th-thanks.” Walter says as he gets up from his seat and makes his way to the door. He pauses just before the door and turns around as Mister Benson speaks.
“Good-bye, Mister Newell.”
”Good-bye.” Walter opens the door and leaves. He begins his drive back to his house to be with his newborn child and his ill wife. Just as everything began to feel right, it all went wrong…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
”Take his wife. That’ll give him reason enough to continue his work.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(NOTES:)
"Who the heck is Stingray?" You may be asking. Well, that's a fair question. I'll tell ya who he is.
He's a character that I think doesn't get as much love as he could. Sure he showed up in Deadpool's "heroes for money" run, but I wanted to show him some real good love. Perfect explanation, right? Thought so...
I actually planned to introduce him in Deadpool but since I dropped Deadpool I decided I would make him my new role (hopefully).
So I hope y'all enjoy this and I hope I get the role. :D
This is the third image of this place I have posted. Previously when selling multiple brands and then also as seemingly a solus Shell site although that's not certain from the view given in that photo which is the same view as this one. It's hard to put a timeline on these three images but certainly the solus ones come after the one where it is clearly selling more than one brand. This is a colourised image, I am almost certain it is based on a image previously posted by Daves_Archive1, you can see that one below along with the two other images I have posted. If I had to stick my neck out I'd say this image is the most recent but still probably later 1960s.
The main focus of all these images is the Green Dragon pub and not the garage of course, it's just coincidence that the pumps were positioned so that they show in such postcards. As an aside the pub is superb and serves wonderful food.
Of course the garage didn't last, it was tucked in between the pub and the church with a tiny entrance and in more modern times would have been entirely impractical.
Fort hose who don't know or don't remember, BP Zoom was two stroke for mopeds.

37248"Midland Railway Centre" +58020"Doncaster Works" pass Didcot on 23/April/2002 working 6O26 Didcot Yard to Eastleigh yard engineers.
This is one of two photographs from 2002 showing Louis Sanderson motor engineers toward the end of it's time operating under the family name which dates back to the 1930's.
I'm assuming fuel sales ended at least five years prior to this photo being taken when there was still quite a high demand for four star petrol. I do believe the three pumps on show are Gilbarco highlines dating back from the 1970's which appear to all have panels for selecting different grades of petrol so I'm almost certain that 2/3/4 star petrol would have been available at one point.
There appears to be two older pumps one of the left of the forecourt and the other on the right under the floodlight which were probably diesel pumps but cannon confirm this.
I'm not sure if the garage was still trading around this time despite two cars on the forecourt.
Today this is Mellors Garage which has operated under this name since 2005/2006
