Norfolk Southern operated N&W J class 4-8-4 Northern steam locomotive 611, displays its bullet nose, headlight and number boards while at Chattanooga, Tennessee October 1989. Earlier in the day the bullet nose was very clean, but while firing up the steam locomotive for it soon morning departure, the nose became covered with soot. The steam locomotive is being prepared for its soon departure with a Railfan Excursion Train.
I took these 3 Photos on April 12, 1994 with Slide Film. They show Buses layed over at the Suffern Terminal of the Shortline Bus Company.
Disclaimer: I took these photos on April 12, 1994 with my Minolta Maxxim 5000 SLR using Slide Film, when I was just learning photograph; so they are very soft & grainy. I scanned the Slide and used Photoshop Elements to correct the exposure and to generate this Digital Image.

After a long day of running around the state, ARR 3015 sits on the siding at Portage with marker lights ablaze.
I caught this Cruise Train earlier this particular morning in Anchorage as it was on its way north to Denali. After doing its business there, it made its way back south where I caught it again.
This was the second of four trains I caught this evening in Portage. If you want action, Portage on Saturdays is your best bet!

Until now, I never noticed the Lightbulbs around the Cradle holding the Locomotive (in my series). But it makes sense, since they moved the Locomotive at night to reduce conflicts with commuter traffic.

The Phase IV Amtrak heritage unit sits on track 9 at Indianapolis Union Station with marker lights illuminated. It is waiting to depart with train 51, the Cardinal.
The train was held up for an hour just outside of the station at CP IU for Q296 that was in emergency.
The new LED marker lights at the rear of the TEST provide an intense glow as night settles in over New Richmond. When I heard there was a track geometry train headed this way I was expecting "old blue" but this new train was a nice surprise. The paintjob is sharp, wouldn't hurt if they painted a locomotive or two to go with it. April 23, 2017.
The marker lights on the rear of the Hoosier State consist are snaking around IU Tower while Lucas Oil Stadium looms tall in the distance.
Southern Railway operated Norfolk & Western J-class 4-8-4 Northern steam locomotive # 611, view of art deco streamlined marker light seen in yard at Atlanta, Georgia, May 1983. Numerous features of this locomotive are of art deco streamline design. The locomotive was being prepared for it next day assignment to a railfan excursion train.
A much loved class of locomotive the class 40 and this one, 40144 is seen stabled at Wrexham in 1980. The headcode boxes have been removed and have been replaced with vinyl domino markers, the nose end communication doors have also been removed and a steel panel welded in their place. This was done to eliminate draughts in the cabs. The early 1980s saw the begining of the end for the class. The first planned withdrawals had started in 1976, with several 'life expired' locos scrapped as they became due for classified works overhaul, along with some accident-damaged examples. Poor availability of other loco types thankfully kept withdrawals to a minimum, and works overhauls soon recommenced. In 1980 a fleet run-down program was announced, along with the planned scrapping of many older locos of other types. First on 'The List' were those locos with high engine hours and vacuum-only train brakes, preventing them from hauling more modern air-braked freight wagons and passenger coaches. The next withdrawals sent shock waves through enthusiast circles. As major component failures occurred, locos were often withdrawn out of sequence due to the cost of repairs, regardless of their last overhaul date. Others were simply switched off, deemed 'life expired', despite being in perfectly serviceable condition.
The end came for 40144 on the 2nd June 1981 when after working her last service train, a freight from Chester to Point of Ayr, she then made her way light to Crewe Diesel where she was switched off.
Having worked in with a service from Brighton it prepares to load and go back.
As Brighton football were playing at home the service is strengthened from a 3 car Class 313 to this 8 car 377 set such is the increase in Traffic on the Brighton / Falmer / Lewes section on match days.
In addition to leading her team, the Shas’Ui functions as a markerlight coordinator, carrying among others a controller for a markerlight drone on her backpack.
The model is extensively converted and repositioned using parts from several different Tau models.
CN's new TEST train sports this classy open platform observation car as part of the set. After inspecting much of the Minneapolis Sub the glossy train spends the night at New Richmond. My younger daughter was pretty excited to find this idling in the backyard, quite a change from the daily freight. April 23, 2017.
These two photos were taken in the parking lot behind Kansas City Union Station next to the Main Line Tracks. Apparently the Rail Cars are owned by a Private Company called "Creative Promotions". The name of this Observation Car is CHICO and it was previous most likely a Sante Fe Railcar because the lettering Sante Fe appears on the ledger band above the windows. It appears to have a MARS Light & a Red Light on the rear vestibule along with marker lights below the roof.
Newly painted, my Skyray Missile Gunship. I love this tank as it is so archetypally Tau - more so, I think, than the Hammerhead, because of it's unique armament of Markerlights and Seeker Missiles. (I know that Rail Guns and Ion Cannons are also unique to the Tau, but they are basically just big guns, whereas the Markerlights and Seekers operate in an entirely different way)
This Mack big-rig was crazy clean for it's age. I'm no expert in classic rigs, but I'd guess this one is from the 60's or 70's.
The Chalk writing on the smokebox is a tribute to the legend on how this class of locomotive gets the name during the first one UP 4000 by one of the workers at the Alco shops.
Until now, I never noticed the Lightbulbs around the Cradle holding the Locomotive (in my series). But it makes sense, since they moved the Locomotive at night to reduce conflicts with commuter traffic.

My family and I went to a car show in Smithville, TN that was a fundraiser for the high schools Project Graduation. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28/RS was near perfect. I've always liked details that car designers and makers add to their vehicles. The headlight covers and all the emblems or badges on the Camaro just caught my attention. This photo shows one of the headlight covers, the Z/28 emblem on the grill, the Camaro badge on the top just in front of the hood, and the Z/28 emblem on the front of the drivers side quarter panel. Cool details...

Here is a track plan of the KCT showing all their towers and trackage. I was in Kansas City a month ago and it's interesting to see what has changed and what hasn't.
SCL / L&N Family Lines Rail System operated C&O LIMA built Greenbrier 4-8-4 steam locomotive # 614, leading the Safety Express Passenger train, is seen while departing the Amtrak Clifford Lane Station in Jacksonville, Florida, February, 1981. The fireman has his head and part of his body leaning out of the cab window, The station tracks are merging at this location and will shortly join the main line track, with the train heading south and west to Tampa.
This is the NYC&ST.L (more commonly known as the Nickel Plate Road) rule book from 1913 and it contains a few very interesting early signaling styles and practices.

This is an excellent web page which discusses railroad signals and this specific page describes this very book.
On Thursday March 9, 2017, my Wife & I went to the Strawberry Festival in Plant City, Florida. There were many Kiddie Rides and numerous Big Boy/Girl Rides.
This photograph shows a Kiddie Train at the Florida Strawberry Festival. Apparently, Belle City Amusements is the prime Carnival Contractor and they supply most of the Rides, Games and Food Joints on the Midway.
The Strawberry Festival had a vast number of Rides and Food Joints and I'm sure Bell City Subcontracted other Carnival Vendors to fill the venue; either that, or the Strawberry Festival Board itself hired other Carnival Vendors to supply Rides & Food Vendors
I took these Photos of several Cabooses on July 4, 1992 in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania on a Blue Mountain & Reading Railroad Excursion with my Minolta Maxxim 5000 35mm SLR Film Camera with Slide Film. I Scanned the Slide to create the Electronic Images presented here on flickr™, using Photo Shop™ to improved the Exposure and Sharpness.
DISCLAIMER: I took this slide in July 1992 while I was just learning Photography and therefore it was very poor in Exposure, Composition and Sharpness. The Electronic Image that I posted here, on flickr™, was the best I could do with the poor slides that I took in 1992.

Steamtown, USA with smoke box front of former Canadian Pacific steam locomotive # 1246, a G5c class 4-6-2 Pacific, seen at the Riverside Station platform while leading a museum excursion train at Bellows Falls, Vermont, August 1982. Note the white flags indicating an extra train mounted to the front of the smoke box. This photo is not the bright and crisp photo you would expect to see, because it was taken on an overcast and rainy day, but it has an appeal of it's own..
I took these Seven (7) Photos sometime between October 11 & 21, 2004, while on a business trip in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Union Depot was designed by the "Spier and Rohms Architectural Firm" An Internet search shows the location of Union Depot as 637 East Michigan Ave., Lansing, Michigan. Google (also) shows the address as 100-192 Pere Marquette Drive in Lansing.
E. Michigan Ave. & Pere Marquette Drive intersect and the Depot, which subsequently was repurposed to become an Eatery called Clara's, faces on Pere Marquette Drive.
Notice the Drain Pipe from the Depot Roof extends out over the Passenger Coach.
As shown in Photo number (2 of 7), Passenger Service at the Depot began in 1902 for the Michigan Central & the Pere Marquette Railroads. The Depot closed in 1972. It was bought by Restaurateur Peter Jubeck in 1978 and was transformed into an Eatery in 1978. When I took my photos in October 2004, it was called Clara's, as shown by the sign, which can be seen in Photo number (1 of 7).
Lansing is mostly in Ingham County, however it also extends West into Eaton County and North into Clinton County. Lansing is the Capital of Michigan, however Lansing is not a County Seat. The County Seat of Ingham County, is Mason. Union Depot is in Ingham County.

Tyseley's set T342 53055 - 59673 - 53056 at Barnt Green, unusually formed with a DMBS at each end (116DMBS-115TCL-116DMBS), on 03/Mar/1990. The nearest vehicle, 53055, is one of the earliest batch of class 116 which originally had four marker lights on the cab and still retains it's (disused) top marker light.
Scanned from an Agfacolor slide.

When Forge World released their latest rules update for Tau, Tetras suddenly became a no-brainer. They are now the cheapest way to get markerlights into a force, they are mobile and can be upgraded to BS4.
