The Daimler Motor Company Limited, was an independent British motor vehicle manufacturer founded in London by H. J. Lawson in 1896, which set up its manufacturing base in Coventry. The company bought the right to the use of the Daimler name simultaneously from Gottlieb Daimler and Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft of Cannstatt, Germany. After early financial difficulty and a reorganisation of the company in 1904, the Daimler Motor Company was purchased by Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA) in 1910, which also made cars and notable motorcycles under its own name before World War II. In 1933, BSA bought the Lanchester Motor Company and made it a subsidiary of Daimler.
Daimler was awarded a Royal Warrant to provide cars to the British Monarch in 1902; it lost this privilege in the 1950s after being supplanted by Rolls-Royce. Daimler occasionally used alternative technology: the Knight sleeve valve (quiet) engine which it further developed in the early twentieth century.
In the 1950s, Daimler tried to widen its appeal with a line of smaller cars at one end and opulent show cars at the other, stopped making Lanchesters, and developed and sold a sports car and a high-performance luxury saloon and limousine.
In 1960, BSA sold Daimler to Jaguar Cars, which continued Daimler's line and added a Daimler variant of its Mark II sports saloon. Jaguar was then merged into the British Motor Corporation in 1966 and British Leyland in 1968. Under these companies, Daimler became an upscale trim level for Jaguar cars except for the 1968-1992 Daimler DS420 limousine, which had no Jaguar equivalent despite being fully Jaguar-based. When Jaguar Cars was split off from British Leyland in 1984 it retained the Daimler company and brand.
In 1990 Ford Motor Company bought Jaguar Cars and under Ford it stopped using the Daimler marque in 2007. Jaguar Cars remained in their ownership, and from 2000 accompanied by Land Rover, until they sold both Jaguar and Land Rover to Tata Motors in 2008, who created Jaguar Land Rover as a subsidiary holding company for them. In 2013, Jaguar Cars was merged with Land Rover to form Jaguar Land Rover Limited, and the rights to the Daimler car brand were transferred to the newly formed British multinational car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover.

The Ramsey turn is westbound at Benny in May 1988. CP ran this job out of Cartier to collect logs/pulp as far west as Ramsey at the time. Usually a pair of SD40's were what I'd normally see on it but two big MLW's the 4721 and 4505 smoke it up on this day. Normally this job was out of Cartier in the morning which generally made for backlit shooting but on this day he was set back due to a steel gang working west of Benny. This was the fourth and last westbound I shot in about an hour in this general vicinity as they had backed up waiting for the work block to get over. The first three jobs were hot freights led by big SD's so they saved the best for last and the hogger really has the BIGS screaming as the head west hot on the block of the other westbounds. A rescan.
As one job finishes a cut, another job starts a new cut out. Three unit sets of second generation EMD's are used by CN to power heavy cuts of general merchandise cars to be humped and sorted at the old EJ&E Kirk yard. The sets today include SD40Q rebuilds, SD40-3 rebuilds, GTW 5936, the last SD40-2 in blue paint, and, appropriately, EJ&E SD38-2's.

Law Connect is owned by software developer Christian Beck, and is a member of the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia (CYCA). It was one of the few 100 footers in the race. Here the motor has started to move the yacht into position to sail back home again. These yachts are so expensive they are not left sitting idle for too long.
On the far wharf on the right hand side is another 100 footer, Scallywag from Hong Kong, which finished third in line honours.

After waiting for a bit at the former pig ramp until "Run 33" finishes switching at West Wye, CPKC train YKK24-27 eases up the lead alongside the Hansen-Mueller elevator with a gray KCS GP38-2 and several flat cars with a few strings of welded rail. They'll make a brief stop at West Wye Tower for some paperwork before leaving Knoche for Grandview. It's a pretty underwhelming train, but it's cool to see some KCS "battleship gray" again.
This engine started life on the Toledo, Peoria & Western in May of 1977 as the TPW No. 2001. After the "Tip-Up" merged with the Santa Fe, it became ATSF No. 3561, later renumbered to 2370 and even being repainted into the "Kodachrome" paint scheme in the midst of the ill-fated "SPSF" merger. It was repainted again into the "Yellowbonnet" scheme, and eventually sold as the GMTX No. 2370 before KCS picked it up. It was the KCS No. 4029 before being renumbered as the 1921 as a newly delivered SD70ACe took its number. 9/27/25.
The high-seniority crew of the Camden Job works Alliance Steel on the Camden Branch. This humble branch once served as the SOO's connection to Union Station, the Milwaukee Road, and other area railroads. When this photo was taken in 2010, the job ran weekdays out of Humbolt, and often ran with SOO power. Nowadays, the branch is switched every third day with rumors circulating about several key customers relocating or closing.

Shoutout to my boy Vicente with the tipoff.....
Minnesota Commercial's Hennepin Job heads out of the MNNR yard for a day's work. It's unfortunate that this classic and rare Alco is sidelined today, stored out of service.

It's a shame I couldn't restore the loco itself on Photoshop!

MNNR 314 and T-2 make a rare appearance on Job 52. Timely reporting by Bob Ball and a "Get off your ass and go shoot that" text message from DK got me out the door on this great fall day.
Alco Adam says the last time this pair was on this line was at least 5 years ago. Here switching Hawkins Chemical the crowded, industrial nature of the line is easy to see.
