Kennecott Copper Corp. 'Magna Motors' No. 403 and 406 arrive at Copperton Yard with 90 ore empties for loading in Utah's Bingham Canyon Copper Mine on April 8, 1977.
Looking very sorry for itself, Millport Motors UVG Urbanstar bodied Dennis Dart N804GRV is seen here dumped at the back of the depot on West Bay Road, Millport.
The bus was originally built in 1996 as a demonstrator for UVG before passing onto Millport Motors the following year. I guess it was a very reliable machine as it was used by the operator until 2015 when it was withdrawn as a result of it not being DDA compliant.
Sadly since then, the Dart has fallen into a state of disrepair which is a shame as I don’t think there’s many of these UVG bodied examples left in existence today. Hopefully one day this one may be saved but I’d imagine it’ll cost a fortune to get it restored to its former glory.
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.
That is what is written on the rear mud guard anyway and when fired up it certainly lived up to it as well .
Spotted - well heard really , up at Newlands Corner . Got a few shots not before it moved off - magnificent sound and a quick extra blip of go juice each time he went over the speed humps and then an open up the throttle as it headed off down the A25 .
I was all set to grab a shot as he went past me and NO SHOT !! I pressed the camera on/off button instead - D'oh !!
It was ultra clean and looked well built and as big as it is it did make me think this was a very small Gordon Tronson project - his bike had FOUR engines !!

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!

New to Richmond, Epsom
October 2, 2021 - Went to Jeff Lane Motor Museum in Nashvile, Tennessee. This place is fantastic! Over 500 vehicles. I've been to one of the best car museums in the U.S., Petersen Auto Museum in L.A. but this one is right up there with it. Specializes in foreign cars and unique vehicles. Half of these I'd never seen or heard of. Well worth going to.
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.
A detail shot of a1963 International Harvester model C1200 that was fitted to run on propane.
This vehicle and around 400 more appeared at the Appleton City, Missouri annual car show.
Phillips Petroleum Company was formed in 1917 by brothers Frank and L.E. Phillips after they struck oil in Oklahoma.
In 1927, a test drive on Route 66 near Tulsa, Oklahoma, resulted in a speed of 66 mph with Phillips new gasoline, which led to the adoption of the "66" brand.
In 1954 Phillips introduced TropArtic as the first multi-grade motor oil designed for year round use. The innovation was a departure from the traditional practice of using different oil grades for different seasons.
