Last week, Pan Am’s business train made a third consecutive week run. With the rumors flying of the Railroad being up for sale and potential new buyers checking out the Railroad. The train left Mechanicville, NY at sun rise but with all the slowdowns, the train came at pretty good timing. As seen here passing The farm land near the “Cosby Red Barn”.

Known for its lack of restrictions on engine power and aerodynamics, the Cam-Am racing series provided an ideal venue for Porsche to experiment with turbocharging. Partnered with Penske Racing, Porsche definitively conquered the Can-Am championship in 1972 with George Follmer behind the wheel, and again in 1973 with Mark Donohue driving turbocharged variants of the 917 racer. When Can-Am's organizers effectively banned the all-dominant 917/30 for 1974 by imposing a fuel limit on turbocharged cars, Porsche looked for a different application for its turbocharging technology.
The path forward lay with the FIA's Group 4 category, which required Porsche to homologate its 934 contender for the inaugural 1976 season. Introduced at the 1974 Paris Motor Show, the 911 Turbo (Type 930) would serve as the 934's homologated counterpart, featuring a 3.0-liter flat-six engine fitted with a single turbocharger, flared wheel arches to accommodate wider wheels and tires, upgraded suspension, and a “whale tail” rear spoiler. Zero to 100 km/h occurred in 5.7 seconds on the way to a 250-km/h top speed—figures few other cars of the period could match.
One of just a mere 274 built in the first year of production to meet the homologation requirements of FIA Group 4—which mandated 400 units within the first 24 months of manufacture—this “H-series” 930 epitomizes the raw, purpose-first character of the earliest Turbos. These pioneering cars are readily identified by 1975-only features like body-colored flag mirrors and cabins that—by Porsche's typically luxurious standards—are deliberately spartan, featuring provisions for roll-cage mounting points and, on RoW examples, omit both the double-stitched door panels and center console. The result is a lighter, more responsive driving experience, standing apart from later, more luxuriously trimmed 930 variants. Completed in April of 1975, this example was finished as it presents today in iconic Grand Prix White over Black leather upholstery, accented by bold MacLachlan tartan seat and door inserts. Factory equipment included staggered 7 by 15-inch front and 8 by 15-inch rear Fuchs alloy wheels with low-profile 50-series Pirelli P7 Cinturato tires and an electric sunroof, and it was distributed new via MAHAG in Munich, Germany.
The car is believed to have resided in Germany during its early life and later found its way to Italy. There, it was purchased by the current owner after it had undergone a comprehensive restoration which saw the odometer reset to zero. The current owner brought the car back to Germany in 2020 and has since traveled only some 7,000 kilometers as indicated by the odometer.
In recent years, the 122nd Turbo ever built has been expertly maintained by Sportwagen & Mobiler Rennsportservice in Langenfeld, where the car was comprehensively recommissioned in 2020 with an engine-out service including a new clutch and flywheel, rebuilt CIS fuel distributor and warm-up regulator, comprehensive electrical work, and new sunroof seals, followed by new front brake discs and pads. In 2021, the transaxle was overhauled with fresh synchros and shift components, 2022 brought routine service with oil/brake-fluid changes and renewed oil lines, and in 2023 both fuel pumps and the V-belt were replaced. In 2024, the Turbo received fresh Pirelli P6000 tires, while in 2025 the turbo hardware was replaced to original-type specification—including the factory rear silencer and turbo/wastegate carrier—as well as a new battery and radio antenna. The total investment between 2020-2025 has exceeded €23.000, documented in invoices on file.
Presented in lovely, largely original condition and wearing its era-evoking livery, this early 911 Turbo crucially retains its matching-numbers engine, with the number corresponding to a copy of the factory data card on file. Well-maintained, the car has benefitted from recent mechanical work and is fitted with the original exhaust system, a rare feature indeed. A compelling, first-series Turbo with the desirable early features, this H-series 930 offers a rare opportunity to acquire an extremely early homologation model (the 122nd built) of the iconic 911 Turbo, which had reached a staggering 87,520 examples by 2019.

Miami Beach is a coastal resort city in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States. It was incorporated on March 26, 1915. The municipality is located on natural and man-made barrier islands between the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay, the latter of which separates the Beach from the mainland city of Miami. The neighborhood of South Beach, comprising the southernmost 2.5 square miles (6.5 km2) of Miami Beach, along with downtown Miami and the Port of Miami, collectively form the commercial center of South Florida. Miami Beach's estimated population is 92,307 according to the most recent United States census estimates. Miami Beach is the 26th largest city in Florida based on official 2017 estimates from the US Census Bureau. It has been one of America's pre-eminent beach resorts since the early 20th century.
In 1979, Miami Beach's Art Deco Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Art Deco District is the largest collection of Art Deco architecture in the world and comprises hundreds of hotels, apartments and other structures erected between 1923 and 1943. Mediterranean, Streamline Moderne and Art Deco are all represented in the District. The Historic District is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the East, Lenox Court on the West, 6th Street on the South and Dade Boulevard along the Collins Canal to the North. The movement to preserve the Art Deco District's architectural heritage was led by former interior designer Barbara Baer Capitman, who now has a street in the District named in her honor.
Miami Beach is governed by a ceremonial mayor and six commissioners. Although the mayor runs commission meetings, the mayor and all commissioners have equal voting power and are elected by popular election. The mayor serves for terms of two years with a term limit of three terms and commissioners serve for terms of four years and are limited to two terms. Commissioners are voted for citywide and every two years three commission seats are voted upon.
A city manager is responsible for administering governmental operations. An appointed city manager is responsible for administration of the city. The City Clerk and the City Attorney are also appointed officials.
In 1870, a father and son, Henry and Charles Lum, purchased the land for 75 cents an acre. The first structure to be built on this uninhabited oceanfront was the Biscayne House of Refuge, constructed in 1876 by the United States Life-Saving Service at approximately 72nd Street. Its purpose was to provide food, water, and a return to civilization for people who were shipwrecked. The next step in the development of the future Miami Beach was the planting of a coconut plantation along the shore in the 1880s by New Jersey entrepreneurs Ezra Osborn and Elnathan Field, but this was a failed venture. One of the investors in the project was agriculturist John S. Collins, who achieved success by buying out other partners and planting different crops, notably avocados, on the land that would later become Miami Beach. Meanwhile, across Biscayne Bay, the City of Miami was established in 1896 with the arrival of the railroad, and developed further as a port when the shipping channel of Government Cut was created in 1905, cutting off Fisher Island from the south end of the Miami Beach peninsula.
Collins' family members saw the potential in developing the beach as a resort. This effort got underway in the early years of the 20th century by the Collins/Pancoast family, the Lummus brothers (bankers from Miami), and Indianapolis entrepreneur Carl G. Fisher. Until then, the beach here was only the destination for day-trips by ferry from Miami, across the bay. By 1912, Collins and Pancoast were working together to clear the land, plant crops, supervise the construction of canals to get their avocado crop to market, and set up the Miami Beach Improvement Company. There were bath houses and food stands, but no hotel until Brown's Hotel was built in 1915 (still standing, at 112 Ocean Drive). Much of the interior land mass at that time was a tangled jungle of mangroves. Clearing it, deepening the channels and water bodies, and eliminating native growth almost everywhere in favor of landfill for development, was expensive. Once a 1600-acre, jungle-matted sand bar three miles out in the Atlantic, it grew to 2,800 acres when dredging and filling operations were completed.
With loans from the Lummus brothers, Collins had begun work on a 2½-mile-long wooden bridge, the world's longest wooden bridge at the time, to connect the island to the mainland. When funds ran dry and construction work stalled, Indianapolis millionaire and recent Miami transplant Fisher intervened, providing the financing needed to complete the bridge the following year in return for a land swap deal. That transaction kicked off the island's first real estate boom. Fisher helped by organizing an annual speed boat regatta, and by promoting Miami Beach as an Atlantic City-style playground and winter retreat for the wealthy. By 1915, Lummus, Collins, Pancoast, and Fisher were all living in mansions on the island, three hotels and two bath houses had been erected, an aquarium built, and an 18-hole golf course landscaped.
The Town of Miami Beach was chartered on March 26, 1915; it grew to become a City in 1917. Even after the town was incorporated in 1915 under the name of Miami Beach, many visitors thought of the beach strip as Alton Beach, indicating just how well Fisher had advertised his interests there. The Lummus property was called Ocean Beach, with only the Collins interests previously referred to as Miami Beach.
Carl Fisher was the main promoter of Miami Beach's development in the 1920s as the site for wealthy industrialists from the north and Midwest to and build their winter homes here. Many other Northerners were targeted to vacation on the island. To accommodate the wealthy tourists, several grand hotels were built, among them: The Flamingo Hotel, The Fleetwood Hotel, The Floridian, The Nautilus, and the Roney Plaza Hotel. In the 1920s, Fisher and others created much of Miami Beach as landfill by dredging Biscayne Bay; this man-made territory includes Star, Palm, and Hibiscus Islands, the Sunset Islands, much of Normandy Isle, and all of the Venetian Islands except Belle Isle. The Miami Beach peninsula became an island in April 1925 when Haulover Cut was opened, connecting the ocean to the bay, north of present-day Bal Harbour. The great 1926 Miami hurricane put an end to this prosperous era of the Florida Boom, but in the 1930s Miami Beach still attracted tourists, and investors constructed the mostly small-scale, stucco hotels and rooming houses, for seasonal rental, that comprise much of the present "Art Deco" historic district.
Carl Fisher brought Steve Hannagan to Miami Beach in 1925 as his chief publicist. Hannagan set-up the Miami Beach News Bureau and notified news editors that they could "Print anything you want about Miami Beach; just make sure you get our name right." The News Bureau sent thousands of pictures of bathing beauties and press releases to columnists like Walter Winchell and Ed Sullivan. One of Hannagan's favorite venues was a billboard in Times Square, New York City, where he ran two taglines: "'It's always June in Miami Beach' and 'Miami Beach, Where Summer Spends the Winter.'"
Post–World War II economic expansion brought a wave of immigrants to South Florida from the Northern United States, which significantly increased the population in Miami Beach within a few decades. After Fidel Castro's rise to power in 1959, a wave of Cuban refugees entered South Florida and dramatically changed the demographic make-up of the area. In 2017, one study named zip code 33109 (Fisher Island, a 216-acre island located just south of Miami Beach), as having the 4th most expensive home sales and the highest average annual income ($2.5 million) in 2015.
South Beach (also known as SoBe, or simply the Beach), the area from Biscayne Street (also known as South Pointe Drive) one block south of 1st Street to about 23rd Street, is one of the more popular areas of Miami Beach. Although topless sunbathing by women has not been officially legalized, female toplessness is tolerated on South Beach and in a few hotel pools on Miami Beach. Before the TV show Miami Vice helped make the area popular, SoBe was under urban blight, with vacant buildings and a high crime rate. Today, it is considered one of the richest commercial areas on the beach, yet poverty and crime still remain in some places near the area.
Miami Beach, particularly Ocean Drive of what is now the Art Deco District, was also featured prominently in the 1983 feature film Scarface and the 1996 comedy The Birdcage.
The New World Symphony Orchestra is based in Miami Beach, under the direction of Michael Tilson Thomas.
Lincoln Road, running east-west parallel between 16th and 17th Streets, is a nationally known spot for outdoor dining and shopping and features galleries of well known designers, artists and photographers such as Romero Britto, Peter Lik, and Jonathan Adler. In 2015, the Miami Beach residents passed a law forbidding bicycling, rollerblading, skateboarding and other motorized vehicles on Lincoln Road during busy pedestrian hours between 9:00am and 2:00am.

Gullfoss ("Golden Falls"; About this sound Icelandic pronunciation (help·info) is a waterfall located in the canyon of the Hvítá river in southwest Iceland.
Gullfoss is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Iceland. The wide Hvítá rushes southward, and about a kilometre above the falls it turns sharply to the right and flows down into a wide curved three-step "staircase" and then abruptly plunges in two stages (11 metres or 36 feet, and 21 metres or 69 feet) into a crevice 32 metres (105 ft) deep. The crevice, about 20 metres (66 ft) wide and 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) in length, extends perpendicular to the flow of the river. The average amount of water running down the waterfall is 140 cubic metres (4,900 cu ft) per second in the summer and 80 cubic metres (2,800 cu ft) per second in the winter. The highest flood measured was 2,000 cubic metres (71,000 cu ft) per second.
As one first approaches the falls, the edge is obscured from view, so that it appears that the river simply vanishes into the earth.
During the first half of the 20th century and some years into the late 20th century, there was much speculation about using Gullfoss to generate electricity. During this period, the waterfall was rented indirectly by its owners, Tómas Tómasson and Halldór Halldórsson, to foreign investors. However, the investors' attempts were unsuccessful, partly due to lack of money. The waterfall was later sold to the state of Iceland, and is now protected.
Sigríður Tómasdóttir, the daughter of Tómas Tómasson, was determined to preserve the waterfall's condition and even threatened to throw herself down. Although it is widely believed, the very popular story that Sigríður saved the waterfall from exploitation is untrue. A stone memorial to Sigriður, located above the falls, depicts her profile.
