as EMD's 6000 h.p. SD90MAC with the H engine gets released from VMV in fresh paint and prepares for its journey to Pueblo, CO as part of BN train #448's consist. Of course, hope soon turned to despair as these locos never did achieve their potential. This particular loco was soon renumbered 8501 and another SD90MAC would be built with 4300 h.p. and numbered 8201. But, back on October 31, 1996, there was a lot of hope and excitement in the air!

Probably the most fascinating number of all time. Every person in this world is in the number game and wants to be number one of his / her profession, sport or club. One is the number from where the counting starts and any number multiplied by 1 is that number and everything in nature starts from one.
My parents bought a set of 3.5"x5" mounted photos of this, a lighthouse, and a pink, piney coastal sunset during a weekend getaway to Scarborough, Maine after Thanksgiving, 1981 (when I was made.) My mother had no idea where any of them where actually shot, they had just bought them in a shop up there. My whole life they were my idea of what Maine was before driving to Newfoundland in 2019, and part of the trip was aimed at discovering for myself if Maine was the way I imagined it. Since then, I've been on a quest to find each of these locations. Imagine my surprise when I discovered this was not in Maine at all. (The lighthouse is the Cape Elizabeth Light. Two down, one to go.)

"Motif Number 1, located on Bradley Wharf in the harbor town of Rockport, Massachusetts, is a replica of a former fishing shack well known to students of art and art history as "the most often-painted building in America." The original structure was built in 1884 and destroyed in the Blizzard of 1978, but an exact replica was constructed that same year.
Built in 1884 as Rockport was becoming home to a colony of artists and settlement of fishermen, the shack became a favorite subject of painters due to the composition and lighting of its location as well as being a symbol of New England maritime life. Painter Lester Hornby (1882–1956) is believed to be the first to call the shack "Motif Number 1," a reference to its being the favorite subject of the town's painters, and the name achieved general acceptance. It appeared in the work of Aldro Hibbard and of impressionist Harry Aiken Vincent who arrived in Rockport in 1917.
In the 1930s, painter John Buckley used the shack as his studio. He sold it to the town in 1945, dedicated "In 1945, the town of Rockport purchased the Motif as a monument to Rockporters who had served in the Armed Services." The town, recognizing its iconic value, has taken pains to preserve both its structure and appearance, finding a red paint which appears weather-beaten even when new, and keeping the area clear of overhead wires, traffic signs and advertising."

Apsley House, standing alone on Hyde Park Corner, London, was the home of the famous Duke of Wellington from 1817. What a different outlook he would have had then compared to today's busy traffic!
The building's history predates the Duke of Wellington having been constructed in 1771-78 for Lord Apsley, the Lord Chancellor, from whom it derived its name. It was then a red brick building. It was clad in Bath Stone after Wellington became Prime Minister in 1828.
The faux address for the building, Number One London, is derived from the time that it was the first residence visitors to London encountered when approaching from the west after having passed through the toll gate at Knightsbridge.
The Wellington family still retains rooms in the building but much is now open at times to the public under the management of English Heritage.
A number of transfers took place at the end of 2020 with various vehicles being exchanged between Arriva Southern Counties, Arriva Midlands and Arriva Yorkshire. This particular vehicle was transferred south from Wigston (Arriva Midlands) to Northfleet (Arriva Kent Thameside) in exchange for an Enviro 400 on Thursday 18th December 2020.
Whilst the majority of the transferred vehicles were Volvo B7s there were six Volvo B9s which have proved to have been rather troublesome with 6200 FJ08 LVL (Northfleet) and 6203 FJ08 LYT (Tunbridge Wells) being the first to enter service on Monday 19th April 2020 nearly fours months since their journey south!
The only one of the vehicles transferred to wear the new colours and on its first day in service, Arriva Kent Thameside 6200 FJ08 LVL is seen turning off of Valley Drive into Ifield Way, Singlewell whilst working route 490. Monday 19th April 2021.

There's something sad but at the same time warm and fuzzy or touching about this cow looking through the fence with its ear perked up. Lots of cattle and cattle egrets on this part of Molokai.
Took a drive on the southwest side of Molokai [the Friendly Isle].
