NO MULTI INVITATIONS in your commenTs, Tks.

A couple of MPD operatives read through the Duty Maintenance manuals for the loco they are working on.

The crew begin their maintenance routine to ensure the loco is ready for its next duties.

Thanks for all the nice comments, it is much appreciated

I thought this old yard had quite a few interesting walls.

A slide restoration, where the colour was so bleached I converted it to monochrome.

Re-enactment.... Salop County Council. Road maintenance vehicles and gang with their Aveling and Porter traction engine providing the motive power.

This guy was half way up a lighthouse touching up the paint on the exterior. The lighthouse no longer operates as an official lighthouse but it is being restored as a museum and a place to stay for the night. You can see the curtains on the window of one of the two rooms rented out during tourist season. We stayed in a cozy room at the Inn which is attached to the lighthouse. Maybe one day we will try sleeping in the actual lighthouse. 😊 It was great to see the owners were keeping up with the maintenance on this lovely spot on the most westerly part of PEI. Happy Window Wednesday!

Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊

We have often seen boats undergoing maintenance is Wollongong Harbour. I have been the slipway in action before. Here it is returning a boat to sea.

The boat is Aquilla, a Wollongong based fishing charter boat.

A little different from my normal genre. This is for the group, Flickr Friday, the subject this week of wheels.

I just love walking around the back streets and alleyways of small towns. I enjoy old worn and weathered surfaces and things that are a little dilapidated or shabby. Towns like this often times don’t have the resources of larger more progressive towns to keep everything looking new. Some towns are absolutely anal about appearances and are far too boring because of that for photographers looking for photogenic subjects. Even big cities can display this contrast between new and old surfaces. The so called rust belt cities like Detroit and Cleveland are an absolute treasure trove for our hobby. I have often wondered why the city officials fail to see what an asset they really have on their hands and cash in on it with photo tourism. They could promote five day getaways with tours of the old abandoned mills and factories specifically oriented towards photography. Make it safe and provide amenities suitable for the comfort of the tourists and you would put other venues out of business. Preserve it as it is as a permanent historic theme park of our nation’s heritage. Oh my. I must be crazy.

The IMRL really did a great job of putting cars in the ditch for the 5 years of its existence. We ran the hell out of trains and didn't do much maintenance because Washington Corp was just draining the IMRL. Well, the IC&E had a couple of mishaps along the way too. Here they did a number, putting a train on the ground over the top of the Iowa Northern diamond at Plymouth Jct. Now the IANR is back in; we had to detour the trains to Nora Springs and up while we waited to get the diamond back in. Here, the northbound bound for Austin turns the corner onto the Owatonna Sub.

I reckon I like this version better.

Crews at Southern Appalachia Railway Museum work into the night shuffling cars around the Y-12 and K-25 complexes with ex CSX U23B 9553, appropriately nicknamed the "Maintenance of Wade", after Wade White.

Deseret Power Railway E60C DPR 3 rests at their loop track and shop complex near Dinosaur, Colorado. The trainset, and in some places the track itself, were torn apart at the time for yearly maintenance.
