All they want is for their red busses to go faster than the white ones. The Transport Museum at Wythall during a Timeline Events photo shoot.
The eastbound M-KCVN is through town and the Ozark Valley railroad has completed its set out and pickup; now it's time to go to work, with the temp already hovering around 1000 degrees and humidity at about 200%.
The crew for the W-KCME has cut off the east end of their train, cleared the control point at East Mexico, and begun shoving west to run around their train. They'll join up with other MoW forces already working this not-that-busy stretch of the KCS through central Missouri. Thank goodness that switch is now radio-controlled.
The last two times I have been down to Valley Park on the BNSF Cuba Sub, I have observed quite of a bit of activity in the track maintenance department. This is likely related to the recent flooding in the area in late 2015 which closed the line for several days.
This small piece of equipment is heading up Kirkwood Hill after finishing duties down in Valley Park.

The Northland Center Maintenance Garage.
The Northland Center was opened in March 1954 and will close in April 2015. The shopping center was designed by Victor Gruen and developed by the J.L.Hudson Company. Northland Center was the largest shopping center in America when it opened and had the largest department store branch in the world. In 1974, the shopping center was enclosed plus JCPenney, and Montgomery Ward were added as anchors. MainStreet / Kohl's and Target were later anchor stores as well. Kohl's closed 1994, Montgomery Ward closed 1998, JCPenney closed 1999, Target closed 2015 (February 1st), and Macy's closed 2015 (March 22nd).

One of the power cars from 253013 receives some attention. Date / location unknown, I'm guessing late 1970s or early 1980s Old Oak Common.

Designed for minimal maintenance in the growing season.
It is a fallacy that to achieve a low maintenance garden you need loads of gravel,paving slabs or decking with little or no greenery .
Other than cutting the grass I spend no more than 5 minutes a week from April to November maintaining this 60 feet by 40 feet garden with borders which vary in width from 6 feet to 15 feet deep.
This is possible because all the plants grow together and there's almost zero soil showing so almost no weeds. I get the odd perennial weed amonst the plants but these are a seconds job to pull out. There is very little soil showing but I can whip round the soil that does show in less than 5 minutes to hoe any weeds that do appear
Over winter I spend about 5 hours cutting back all the perennials and some of the shrubs and dividing some of the perennials if it is necessary to stop them getting too big.
The photo shows about half the garden
More photos of the garden can be seen in some of the comments boxes below
Work to remove a BNSF concrete train bridge continues. Even with that large hydraulic “jaw” picking up chunks of debris, completion is taking longer than I thought it would because the bridge is resisting, but I am betting the removal crew will win.
Lawton National Guard Armory Maintenance Garages
Designed by Paul Harris
Lawton, OK
1955
Here's a blurb about these great mid-century structures from the Central OK AIA's Celebrate 100 guide:
"Brimming with new ideas in design and materials, Lawton architect Paul Harris hoped to create a model armory. He chose a thin-shell concrete dome to define the drill hall space, with a low wing to house the offices. Adjacent to the armory, he placed two maintenance garages with sine-wave roofs.
Both attractive and functional, the structure is atypical for post-World War II armories. The concrete dome sits atop an aluminum-clad concrete wall that hides a vent system, which -- when combined with the enormous exhaust fan located at the dome's apex -- creates an efficient air-circulation system during hot weather. LIght is brought into the drill hall through circular skylights forming two concentric rings around the dome.
When conceived, Harris thought his relatively inexpensive and flexible disgn would serve as a model for future armories everywhere. For whatever reason, it was not to be, but his genius was recognized when the armory joined the National Register in 2007."
Personally, I've always been very interested in Paul Harris's work because it so mirrors the work my grandfather was doing in OKC at the same time. Harris designed several thin-shell, modern wonders in and around Lawton during the 50's, but he died in 1958 while still in his prime years, which is why I think he's largely forgotten today. It's too bad because he was a brilliant architect who deserves to be recognized for the innovative and very futuristic work he did.
An OHE maintenance cum inspection van is parked at Narayanpur Anant (NRPA) yard as the electrification of Barauni (BJU) to Chhapra (CPR) track is slowly progressing !!
Note on doubling and electrification at SPJ division of ECR zone : -
(01) Electrification of Barauni to Hajipur stretch via Bachchwara Junction and Shahpur Patoree is over but it is yet to be doubled .
(02) Electrification of Barauni to Hajipur stretchvia Bachchwara , Samastipur and Muzaffarpur is under progress . But no sign of doubling between Ramdyalunagar and Sarai .
A former Southern Pacific flatcar #543960 was converted to maintenance the many tunnels on the Carrizo Gorge Railway.
SP 543960 still has friction bearings and most of the wooden deck on top of the steel frame is rotted away.
The car sits at the end of Dubbers Spur attached to the five (5) former Chicago Northwestern (CNW) commuter cars that were acquired by Chicago Metra (METX) and later sold as surplus.
Goat Canyon trestle is is seven (7) track miles away and Dos Cabazas Station (on the other end of the gorge) is 13.7 track miles eastward.

Routine maintenance may not be exciting but it is essential to victory. It is also how Techno-Vipers prove themselves more skillful and intelligent than the others. Every Techno-Viper’s goal is to be personally selected by Cobra Commander to work on one of his mad inventions to take over the planet. World domination is not only a satisfying experience but financially lucrative as well.

Maintenance on our R32s cars will keep them on the rails until new R179 cars are delivered. We're doing a limited-scope maintenance makeover on four cars per week.
With their once-gleaming stainless-steel bodies dulled by age and their windows scarred by the negative attention of vandals, MTA New York City Transit's R32 subway cars are living out their final years of service until the arrival of their replacements. In order to make those last trips go more smoothly, however, the cars are "having a little work done."
The "Brightliners," as the Budd-built cars were dubbed upon their introduction into service back in 1964, were the first large fleet of stainless steel cars purchased by New York City Transit and the first corrosion resistant cars placed in service since the ten experimental cars purchased in 1949 by the New York City Board of Transportation.
