Gefotografeerd bij SHVP / Stichting Historische Verbrandingsmotoren Papendrecht.
In dit museum wordt een behoorlijk groot aantal oude dieselmotoren, voornamelijk scheepsdiesels tentoongesteld.
It's 4 days before the official end of the DMIR and life finds me at Iron Junction for the first time.
This was long before I put any effort into railroad photography. I was an armchair railfan at this point, but I had acquired a $300 digital camera (a princely sum at the time, I might add) and was living on the Canadian border. I think it was a job interview that brought me to Eveleth, and with some time to kill I decided to go find this mythical place called Iron Junction. I had read about it and seen photos taken there on the interwebs and perhaps, even in a magazine.
As you can see my hunt was successful, as far as finding the location. The photography, not so much. But it did mean I shot maroon paint prior to the commencement of the assimilation.
If it matters, I think this was a Minntac load bound for Two Harbors with a tunnel motor and a pair of SD-M's for power. With the exception of the cars, which seem to be ageless, it is pretty much all gone now. There is still a maroon tunnel motor around but with no straight air it will never get this work again, and the M's have all moved on.
It's a photo that I am extremely thankful to have had the opportunity to shoot, even if it's not much from a technical standpoint. It makes me think of how excited I was at the time. It reminds me of why I put effort into railroad photography.

Former Howard Johnsons Motor Lodge located at 181 West Boylston St. in West Boylston,MA. The motor lodge is now independently owned and operated under the name Classic Inn & Suites. Somehow the gate lodge has remained intact and free from any stucco placed over it. The owners are very proud of their last remaining, most intact “Howard Johnsons Motor Lodge” mentioning both www.orangeroof.org and www.hojoland.com as great websites presenting the history of the HoJos brand. I had quite a lengthy talk with the manager who stated that there are no plans to demolish the iconic gate lodge. The manager continued on to tell me that it was the Howard Johnson name they had to give up to keep their property from being altered to meet standards set by a large conglomerate. Its unfortunate that the Howard Johnson name has been wrecked by corporate greed over the years leaving longtime franchises to make great altercations to their motels or remove the Howard Johnson(s) name altogether. The motel is not on a major highway, which has likely helped in keeping the place looking almost exactly like it did more than forty years ago! The restaurant is now occupied by an independent restaurant, which is operating under the name PJ’s New England Bar and Grill. Unfortunately the restaurant has been altered from its original state leaving very few holdovers from Howard Johnsons. Nevertheless there are a few (former) Howard Johnsons restaurants retaining their orange roof but no gate lodges in such great condition so it’s a fair tradeoff.
From a visit to McFeeters Motor Museum in Forbes NSW, Australia. A beautiful collection of vehicles from a time when motor cars were a work of art as well as a mode of transport.

I found this wheel buried under some bushes on an abandoned farm east of Innisfail, Alberta.
The Essex was a brand of automobile produced by the Essex Motor Company between 1918 and 1922 and by Hudson Motor Company of Detroit between 1922 and 1932. That means this wheel is at least 82 years old!
I experienced Canyon de Chelly from both its rim and its bottom lands. The experience was truly awesome.
The canyon was inhabited by pueblo-dwelling peoples hundreds of years ago and it still a summer home to many Dineh (Navajo) families today. The canyon is located in the Navajo Reservation in Chinle, Arizona. I spent three nights in Chinle.
The bottom of the canyon is illed with loose sand and in the dry season a jeep ride through it is like an ocean ride in choppy water in h high-speed motor boat. What an experience! With the help of our local guides we learned about the historic and present relationship between the canyon and the Dineh.
While I was able to take photos of the abandoned pueblos and petroglyphs, I'm focusing upon the land in this trio. I was not able to take phots of modern Dineh dwellings, land, or people because doing so went against their customs.
Note: I am posting the shot with the vehicles driving in front of the jeep I was in to give a sense of proportion

One of the interesting aspects of spending time chasing the ore pool motors on the former DMIR is the limited roster. Unlike many other locations, these 6 axle units rarely stray far from Proctor. Last night's post was one example, the second time I had shot the 2006 leading in August. Here is another example, this time, the 408 leads the same power set it was leading when I shot it in the same location 10 days earlier. I posted that shot a couple days ago. There was a different set of cars on the hook the second time, but the power set was the same. Funny how things can happen.
On both occasions I caught the train a second time at Spirit Mountain, and those are in the backlog waiting to be posted.
Parallel Motors mural.
Built during the 1880’s it originally served the needs of the local rural area as a Farmers & Graziers Co-op Agency, Stock & Station agency before it eventually became a Chrysler car sales outlet which offered fuel and mechanical services.
Today it still provides the local community with a huge range of services.
In the course of its life the building has witnessed the dawning of the 20th and 21st century, two world wars, the Great Depression and so many great and historical world events.
It survived the floods of 1928, 1950’s, 1990 and it took a battering on 14th November 2022 but it still survives.
Of all these events it was the catastrophic flood sometimes referred to as the inland tsunami of 2022 that almost proved to be its demise.
Yet through sheer gut busting work and effort Parallel Motors of Eugowra still stands as if in sheer defiance.
It was evident that as the flood waters began to recede that not one of the towns 700 population has escaped the devastation.
As rural communities do they all banded together to assist each other and this process is still continuing today.
In 2012 a committee was formed to establish a means of attracting tourism to the town and so it was decided to create murals that would depict local history and events.
Enter a group of dedicated and talented artists who set their skill sets to work over an 11 year time frame to create the stunning murals.
Eugowra became known as the Village of Murals.
In May 2023 an estimated 20 artists and sign writers converged on the village to restore at least three of the damages murals including the mural that adorns Parallel Motors entitled ‘Cars of Yesteryear’.
All the works are undertaken on a voluntary basis and at no cost to the community.
Slowly but surely Eugowra is coming back from the destruction and now with a number of murals already being repaired and restored the visitors are also returning.
Eugowra is situated just 36 kilometres from Forbes on The Escort Way (scene of Australia’s largest ever holdup on 16 June, 1862 Frank Gardiner and his gang of bushrangers held up an armed gold escort and stole 2,719 ounces of gold (84.56 kg) and £3,700 in cash) with a distance to Sydney being 330 kilometres .
Eugowra, New South Wales, Australia.
