Puede que os suene la foto, LombartBCN tiene una en el mismo angulo, no es casualidad, tal como llegas ahi desde la Barceloneta es el mejor angulo posible para pillarla entera.
BR Isle of Wight unit 486 034 forming a Shanklin-Ryde service at Brading, still with its functioning gas lamps on 9th July 1985. Brading was one of the last stations on the British Rail network to retain gas lighting, with the fittings converted to mercury vapour usage during 1985. As of 2010 some of the fittings were still in use, using compact fluorescent bulbs. The nearest line and platform were taken out of use after this, but are to be reinstated during the early 2021 line closure and improvements.

These bluetiful containers are near a gasworks outside Eastbourne in East Sussex - at least I think that's what they contain!
just came across this old gas pump in a random village. dis-used and liked the look of it but thought i would go for a more extreme b&w treatment, just for kicks.

The gas holder was built in 1884 and is a Grade II listed building. The frame is composed of 14 cast columns in three sections. The lower cylinder has makers' plates: `R. P. Spice/ Engineer/ London/ 1884' and: `S. Cutler & Sons/ Contractors London/ 1884'.
Here some facts about gas stations:
The world’s first gas station is widely considered to have opened in 1905 in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. It was established by the Automobile Gasoline Company, a subsidiary of the Shell Oil Company. Before this, gasoline was typically sold at general stores, pharmacies, or even from barrels at blacksmith shops.
This early gas station was a dedicated facility designed specifically to dispense gasoline to automobiles, marking a significant shift in infrastructure for the growing number of car owners. It had a simple hand pump and a large visible storage tank, setting the stage for the evolution of modern fueling stations.
However, another key milestone came in 1913, when the Gulf Refining Company opened what many consider the first modern gas station in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This one featured a canopy, uniformed attendants, and paved driveways — elements that would become standard in service stations later on.
So while St. Louis had the earliest form, Gulf’s Pittsburgh station is often credited with pioneering the modern gas station model.
And another fact: Bertha Benz, wife of Karl Benz (inventor of the first practical automobile), made the world’s first long-distance car trip in 1888.
During her journey, she purchased fuel (ligroin, a petroleum solvent) from a pharmacy in Wiesloch, Germany. And that again is not too far, from where I live :-) And even closer to my job....

An old rusty gas bottle discarded with the trash in my neighbourhood. The yellow-orange colour is from the vibrant paint, which is mostly peeling off the rusty body. I took a couple of quick shots of this bottle, and I quite like them. I think I will go and rescue it from the trash heap, because I feel like there are a few more photos in it, I just didn't have time to capture them.
HMM flickrites :-)
Almaden, San Jose. The tanker driver told me he was suspicious when he first saw me drawing. He said it's sad that (since 9/11) everyone has changed to be really suspicious of anyone that doesn't fit the norm. I guess sketching at a gas station is not the norm.

On Sunday evenings, the Night Gas would usually ferry the Paradise Local power back west to be in place for Monday morning. When ACes were unavailable for the Gas and SD40s were substituted, it made for some amazing consists for a date as late as 2013. On this day, a pair of 40s and and pair of GP9s depart Missoula at DeSmet with a lengthy train that includes cars for Tricon and Thompson River Lumber that the Paradise crew would spot the next day.

Thanks for all the FLickr faves and comments that put this one in Explore.
