Out of the normal format we go!
To start with, we go right back to 11199! Interestingly, 11199 is one of two of Hull's E400MMCs to bear 'Superrear' adverts that were initially applied in late 2020 - another one is East Yorkshire's 920, which I noticed looked rather unusual one day in October. This is not, however, the first application of this form of advert, as previously, it wore an advert for Strata Homes. Now, it is seen here wearing an advert for Hull College as it heads up the 11.
It is interesting that these rear adverts have suddenly come into fruition again in Hull. Previously, I don't recall any Stagecoach buses having them after 2017 rolled around, while East Yorkshire settled for their standard-fare of painting, not wrapping, a bus into an entire new livery, but since the Go North East buyout, East Yorkshire has seemingly been investing in all-over rear wraps, and now even Stagecoach wants to buck the trend! I wonder if rear wraps on this bus is going to be a permanent feature? Well, I wonder...
With the midday locals in Crawfordsville, we opted to chase that J771 north back into the blades. We also knew that a southbound was on duty in LaFayette. Going home would have to wait!
It was a scorcher in Indiana this afternoon as we had to kill a couple hours reading magazines and playing catch. Trainboy even flagged down a passing Schwan's truck so we could purchase an ice cream treat (great call!). Finally, the semaphores at Romney began to show life in the form of our approaching southbound.
In one of the better lit shots of the day, Q643 with the 7618 leading cruises south at MP 133.2 (Romney, IN) with a manifest for Avon. Getting the shot like this made waiting in the hot sun worth it - especially for the Chief who traded a day around Altoona for a day in Blade Country.

The brakeman or conductor on a eastbound EL freight gives the peace sign at Griffith IN in 1975. If you look closely you'll find famous Mark Llanuza in this photo.
A photo of my son pitching on his little league baseball team. He doesn't like posing for the camera, so I love it when I can get a good photo of him on the field!

Active Assignment Weekly: It's for the Birds
WIT
Went to the park to find birds. Found this one on a fence that bordered a baseball game in progress. The reason for the orange background is the baseball field.
I have previously posted colour pictures of The Long Thin Drag railtourof 12th April 1986. Showing the busy scene at Penrith, where there was a photo-stop for participants of the tour. 1Z25 is seen in dire light with 1001 leading. This was run by Hertfordshire Railtours and The Southern Electric Group, being an out and back from Hastings to Carlisle via the S&C with return using the WCML. 1001 was the power cars from the unit only, giving it a bit more oomph on the heavy gradients on the route.
sitting on the deck out back today while working -- yes, working -- on my laptop, my cat harvey was trapped inside, yowling like a coyote. (he's an indoor cat; we live on a busy road; it's the only way, trust me).
i looked up -- and this is what i saw.
More from the August 17th Proud Boys/Antifa rallys in Portland, Oregon.

Old Queensland Railways brakevan of class TGV or TGVS I believe in use at the Railway Model Engineers track at Bongaree Park, Bribie Island, SE Queensland. Original colour was very pale grey.
I haven't posted in many months, finally feeling like I'm back on two feet (somewhat) and anxious to get the hell back out there.
A few shots from a class I'm taking at Valley Ridge Art Studio this weekend, more to post after tomorrow.

Firefighters ignited a planned blaze on Friday for St. Olaf Lutheran Church, Reynolds, ND. Closing the book on 129 years of service by the building to rural parishioners.
The church, which was founded by Lutheran Norwegian immigrants in 1886, closed its doors this summer after the congregation held its final service June 7. Parishioners voted to close the church and merged with its fellow parish at Zion Lutheran Church in Reynolds, a town of 300 residents about 3 miles southwest of St. Olaf.
[[[ la conciencia se me va desmoronando de a poco
y las estelas reciprocas de desventuras
dejan cicatrices profundas en mis pechos inertes
como arrancar el sublime encanto de las paredes acolchadas?
como despellejarme poco a poco y desnudarme de tu piel?
como saturar el sol de mi mirada brillante?
como borrar la memoria que aprisiona mi soledad??
dime como socavar el mediante reflujo de lagrimas
mi corazón marchito se vuelve inhóspito de anhelos
y mi boca encierra todos los besos que queria donar
mi vientre yermo duerme complaciente
en un fuego extremo que quema la carne
quema las entrañas y me vuelvo eterea
ya no soporto la dulce mañana campante
ya no soporto el agua tibia recorriendo mi cuerpo
mi estómago clausurado solo intenta desertar
ya no soporto el roce de mis lagrimas
ya no entiendo el sopor de la comisura de mis pechos
ya no entiendo la noche burlesca
Ya no soy nada]]]
This '79 Mustang Pace Car was pretty well trashed, and the turbo and related plumbing were long gone. I'm still kicking myself for not nabbing a few parts off of it.
