The hottest train currently on CSX's Philadelphia Subdivision would be hotshot intermodal train I-031. Powered by a pair of older ES44DC motors, it was hustling past Contractor's Road in Rosedale.

Bill is a kind and considerate gentleman who collects a wide variety of classic cars with an emphasis on microcars. He is also an avid collector of historic bicycles and in his younger years, a devoted rider of high wheelers, those that were called "penny farthing" back in the day, Bill invited Grant and me to photograph some of his collection on the afternoon of June 28, 2016.

German postcard in the Film Sterne series by Rotophot, no. 569/2. Photo: Richard Oswald-Film. Heinz Salfner as Peer Gynt in Peer Gynt (Victor Barnowsky, 1919).
Peer Gynt (Victor Barnowsky, 1918-1919) was a two-part film, shot and passing the German censor in 1918, but the first public release in Berlin was in April 1919. The film was an adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's dramatic poem 'Peer Gynt' (1867). It was the only film by theatre expert Barnowsky, who also scripted the film. The cinematography was by Max Fassbender.
Part I: Peer's Youth.
Norway in the 19th century: Peer Gynt (Heinz Salfner) is a powerful peasant boy who tries to steal himself out of his miserable reality with made-up stories. He suppresses the fact that his father Jon Gynt (Hans Sternberg), once a respected man in the village and the surrounding area, is in danger of losing his farm and possessions through mismanagement and alcoholic excesses. In Peer's imagination, the run-down house is still a magnificent palace. Peer also manages to suppress the fact that he himself is a good-for-nothing. He sees himself as a hero and knows how to make his mother Aase (Ilka Grüning) believe what a "hotshot" he is. Aase, for whom the day thief and dreamer Peer means everything to her, transfigures the young man in her imagination, who not only lets the farm degenerate more and more and imagines himself in a world of trolls and demons, but also walks with much enthusiasm but ultimately only little success on suitor's feet. The button caster (Conrad Veidt), a figure from the dreams of his childhood, seduces Gynt into a series of foolish deeds. One day Peer kidnaps Ingrid (Irmgard von Hansen), someone else's bride, while at the same time he meets the decent and demure Solveig (Lina Lossen). Solveig is the exact opposite of Gynt: down-to-earth and faithful. She would be the one to finally set him on the path of virtue. But the restless spirit Peer is drawn to faraway places.
Part II: Peer's Wanderings and Death.
Peer believes that he must now set out into the "wide world" in search of adventure and prosperity. And so he leaves, leaving behind the kind-hearted Solveig. Gynt subsequently experiences the longed-for adventures. Three decades later, Peer Gynt has become rich in Africa, among other things through slave trading, and has finally settled in Morocco. There, however, his business partners steal his ship and all his valuable possessions. His ship sinks and Peer seems to have come to terms with his renewed poverty. In these moments, he finds God and begins to understand what the true values of life are. One day, he is driven by certain circumstances to the Sahara Desert, where he finds salvation in an oasis. Here he meets Anitra (Anita Berber or Hanna Lierke), as mysterious as she is soulless, who first steals his heart and eventually his remaining possessions. But he has still not reached the lowest point of his life: in Cairo, Peer Gynt ends up in an insane asylum run by the German doctor Dr. Begriffenfeldt (Georg John). But finally, for once, he is lucky. Here he meets compatriots, sailors who have gone ashore locally, who are willing to take the now purified Peer Gynt back to his old home. Old and impoverished, Peer Gynt returns home, where Solveig has been waiting for him as promised. And the faithful soul has not remained idle all these years: she has managed the dilapidated farm and brought it back to shape. She not only makes sure that Gynt finds a home, but also his salvation with her. Now he can die at peace with himself and his life.

We have a winter break now with agility and Hotshot misses it a lot.
So Hotshot thought that he could use a little practicing in the forest. :-))

Este microcoche y el microJeep son del mismo ya desaparecido fabricante. Aquí os los dejo para que adivineis en que país eran fabricados. Su fabricante, cuyo apellido llevaba, era una especie de Don Quijote luchando contra los molinos de la industria del automóvil.
La respuesta:
El Crosley es un microcoche desarrollado por el industrialista de Cincinnati, Ohio, Powel Crosley dueño de la Crosley Broadcasting Corporation y del equipo de beisbol Cincinnati Reds. Se fabricaron entre 1939 y 1952. El precio del primer modelo en 1939 fué 250 USD. Contrario a las modas de Detroit de su tiempo, Crosley pensaba que el americano no necesitaba un coche enorme si no solamante el coche just para sus necesidades. Mientras la producción post guerra no consiguió alcanzar niveles comparables a la demanda Crosley consiguió mantener su empresa a flota pero eso no duró mucho y el mercado probó que se equivocaba. Mientras tanto creó maravillosos microcoches como el Hotshot que ganó el Index of Performance de Sebring y la Grand de la Suisse en 1951 y el utilitario Farm-o-Road precursor de los quads y otros pequeños utilitarios de uso rural. Entre sus más conocidos propietarios se encontraban:
General Omar Bradley
Presidente y General Dwight Eisenhower
Actor Humphrey Bogart
Actor David Carradine
Director de orquesta Tommy Dorsey
Gobernador de NY Nelson Rockefeller
Actríz Gloria Swanson
Arquitecto Frank Lloyd Wright
Nada mal para un pequeño advenedizo. Como puedes ver, Carles, los americanos también tenían sus biscuter.

In Washington. Camp was not well planned. The sleeping area was a long way from the feeding area. We would get off the deuce, stage our gear and chow down, hard hats and all. Taken in the summer of 1985 with an Olympus XA2 and Kodachrome film.
After I had shot the Central of Georgia heritage unit (see next picture), word came down as I was heading back to the office to work that the UP 1982/1983 combo was trailing the afternoon Z train. Sure enough, as I approached the tracks, I saw him coming, so I took a minor detour through Malta, IL and got him there. See you on the return trip!
