One of the oldest survivors of America's steam railroading era, this locomotive was built 29 years after the steam engine was first developed for transportation. Breese, Kneeland & Company of Jersey City, New Jersey also operated as the New York Locomotive Works and is represented by the No. 73 on the locomotive builders plate. The company used its standard style, based on a design patented by Henry Roe Campbell in 1836. Known as a 4-4-0 "Classic American" for its wheel configuration, this particular locomotive was manufactured in 1857 for the Milwaukee & Mississippi Railroad Company.
Believed to have been named "Spring Green", the locomotive served the upper midwestern United States for more than 30 years. By 1889, the Arizona & Southeastern Railroad Company, which later became the El Paso & Southwestern Railroad (EP&SW), had acquired it and converted it from a wood-burner to a coal-burner. The smokestack was also likely reconfigured from a funnel type to a straight type at that time. Calling it Locomotive No. One, EP&SW utilized it in the development of Bisbee, Arizona and in other mining and industrial operations in the southwest.
EP&SW retired Old Number One after more than 50 years of service, moving it to a park adjacent to company headquarters at 416 N. Stanton Street in 1909. Except for its brief role in the 1938 film "Let Freedom Ring", it remained there until 1960, even after the rail company became part of the Southern Pacific railroad system in 1924. In 1960, the railroad donated it to Texas Western College (now the University of Texas at El Paso), which placed it at the Centennial Museum. In 2000, the City of El Paso received state and national funds to restore the engine to its 1909 appearance, moving it to the present site at the Union Plaza Transit Terminal.

Hong Kong Transport - Trucks
The Hong Kong Truck Culture
The number of Trucks, Vans* and Special Purpose Vehicles (Light, Medium & Heavy) registered + licenced in Hong Kong seems to fluctuate between 120,000 - 125,000 vehicles and presumably new trucks registered are offset by old trucks being retired or sold over the border in China.
*Vans are classified as Light Goods Vehicles and are not shown in this album
In Hong Kong Trucks are classified as GOODS VEHICLES By the Transport Department - see below
☛Light Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight not exceeding 5.5 tonnes.
☛Medium Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight exceeding 5.5 tonnes but not exceeding 24 tonnes.
☛Heavy Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight exceeding 24 tonnes but not exceeding 38 tonnes.
The major truck types you tend to see in urban areas are trucks carrying construction materials or waste, dump trucks, concrete mixers and all sizes of delivery trucks... outside of the urban areas it is container trucks and large trucks carrying construction materials.
The following brands of Trucks can be seen on the streets of Hong Kong and include:-
Beiben ✚ Bell ✚ CAMC ✚ CNHTC ✚ DAF ✚ Dennis ✚ Dong Feng ✚ FAW ✚ Fuso ✚ Foton ✚ Ford ✚ Hino ✚ Howo ✚ Hyundai ✚ Isuzu ✚ Iveco ✚ JAC ✚ Kato ✚ KIA ✚ Liebherr ✚ MAN ✚ Mercedes Benz ✚ Mitsubishi ✚ Nissan ✚ Renault ✚ Scania ✚ Shacman ✚ Sinotruk ✚ Suzuki ✚ Toyota ✚ UD ✚ Volvo ✚ Zoomlion
Hong Kong is a brand conscious place even for trucks (!) hence the popularity of the European brands, Scania and Man are very popular and even the older trucks look the business and they are utterly reliable.
Isuzu is the market leader in terms of sale volume for all types of trucks.

CONSOLIDATED PB4Y-2 PRIVATEER
SERIAL NUMBER 59819
N3739G
Current Markings: Patrol Bombing Squadron 120 (VPB-120), Shemya Island, 1945
The Consolidated PB4Y-2 Privateer was a United States Navy long range patrol bomber derived from the Consolidated B-24 Liberator. At the outbreak of World War II the Navy lacked any long range land based patrol bombers to conduct search, anti-submarine, and anti-shipping missions. In 1942 the navy put in a request for 977 B-24s designated PB4Y-1. While PB4Y-1s distinguished themselves in the Atlantic and the Pacific, was still essentially a B-24 designed for high altitude missions, not low altitude patrol missions.
In 1943 the Navy asked Consolidated for a new patrol bomber based on the B-24. The PB4Y-2 design incorporated many changes including a single vertical tail, more armament, low level engines, and a stretched fuselage. The Privateer also had state of the art search radars and navigation equipment giving the aircraft an all weather capability. By the end of the war several squadrons of Privateers were conducting operations from the Philippines to the Aleutian Islands. The PB4Y-2 stayed in navy service after the war where it took on additional missions such as weather reconnaissance, and the gathering of signal intelligence before being retired around 1955. After their retirement several Privateers were modified and used as civilian air tankers used in fighting forest fires until 2002.
This PB4Y-2 was built at the Consolidated Aircraft plant in San Diego, California. It was delivered to the U.S. Navy on June 5, 1945 and was assigned to Patrol Bombing Squadron 120 (VPB-120). For the last two months of the war VPB-120 was stationed at Shemya Island in the Aleutians where they conducted antishipping missions. After the war the aircraft was assigned to various Navy and Navy Reserve Squadrons until 1957 when it was put into storage. In 1965 it was bought by SS&T Aerial Contractors in Arizona and converted into an aerial tanker. For the next 25 years it was based in Arizona fighting forest fires until its second retirement in 1990.

RECTO
This iconic image of the incarnation (avatar) of the Hindu god Vishnu as a fish reveals a connection with a regional folk art style, which coexisted with the court style being produced at the palace of Krishnaraja. In order to simulate the appearance of gold on this lower-cost production, the artists pasted pieces of silver-colored metallic paper onto the cloth support and painted it with a resinous yellow pigment called gamboge. (For the story of the fish avatar of Vishnu, see the computer kiosk program.)
The iconic, devotional quality of this painting is conveyed in its strictly frontal, hieratic presentation and in the exaggerated size of the large, staring eyes. The eyes are the most important element of an icon in Hindu worship. When a devotee comes to worship at a shrine, the presence of the divinity has been ritually made present in the icon, and the divinity sees the devotee coming to see him. This reception of the sight of the divinity by the devotee is called darshan; when one receives darshan, one has received blessings from the divinity.
VERSO
This two-dimensional rendition of a Vishnu temple could serve as a virtual pilgrimage destination for the devotee who uses the book from which this folio came. The viewer can mentally enter the gopuram, a southern-style barrel-vaulted gateway at the lower edge of the painting, and visit the small subsidiary shrines before passing through the second gateway to the temple enclosure. The temple itself can then be circumambulated, and the shrines built into the prakara (enclosure wall) can be visited as well. One then passes between the monumental guardian figures holding the attributes of the god Vishnu, who resides in the sanctum. Various forms of Vishnu are depicted in the shrines of the temple proper.
