On the flip side, designed on commission for some friends I give you the Toyota 4Runner and Jeep Wrangler JL perfect for overlanding, the combat zone, and first dates!

The Whippet was built by the Willys-Overland Corporation of Toledo, Ohio and was introduced in 1926. With a wheelbase that measured 100.25-inches, it was America's smallest car. It was also 200 pounds lighter than the equivalent four-cylinder Overland. Two engines were available including a four and a six. The engines were so durably that they eventually evolved into the powerplant for the Jeep more than a decade later.
In 1927, over 110,000 units were sold, making Willys-Overland third in the United States sales. However, with the onset of the Great Depression, Willys-Overland focused on a single low-cost car that would become the Willys 77.
The Model 98 was powered by a six-cylinder engine and was available as a Roadster, Coupe, Touring, Coach, and Sedan.
Production of the Whippet lasted from 1927 until 1931.

Hope you enjoy folks. Didn’t take the time or make the effort to extract the car out of its background and ran out of steam after spending hours to remove the sign that was plastered on the windshield (and on the windshield of every car at this concourse. Between the signs, placards, mobs of spectators, reflections, and dappled shadows from overhanging tree branches, trying to get unobstructed pictures of these cars was a “challenge” to say the least. And oh, did I also mention the blazing heat and humidity ………….. (just call me the complaining photographer ;)
This was the first train I photographed on my recent 5200 mile tour of the mid-west. My wife and I left Alaska to spend three weeks in the middle of America visiting friends, family and a few trains along the way. Seen here on UP's Sherman Hill track 3 near Borie.
Thailand is a land that is replete with Buddhist iconography from the North to the South. Buddhism arrived here most probably overland via Burma from Patliputra in India.
Whereas Buddhism suffered in India due to internecine conflict with Hinduism and its preachers, Thailand as well a whole host of countries like Burma, Laos, Cambodia etc retained much of the teachings and tenets of the religion and vast swathes of the population practice Buddhism in letter and spirit.
Chiangmai in the North of Thailand is comparatively peaceful and away fom the commercial tourism hotspots of Bangkok, Phuket and the beaches of the South.
Phra Upakhut in Chiangmai is located close to the Night Market and is not a very crowded place as a few tourists come in here. It is also called the Temple of a Thousand Buddhas.
Upakhut is a legendary personality in Thai Buddhist lore as a Protector of the faith who is supposed to have come from India/Burma specially. Though I could not locate the exact statue depicting the Monk with the Pot ( there is one in comments from Doi Suthep ) but he does appear in the alcove of the cheddi pictured here..

The Overlander Roadhouse. Another roadhouse one probably needs to stop. Quite hot around here and beside the highway not much to see. Anyway, some fuel and an iced coffee is always welcome.
V/Line locos X51/S317 head the Overland overnight passenger service from Melbourne, through the Adelaide Hills near Yantaringa on 17 October 1986.

UP 4551 East departs Cheyenne passing under the classic UP style US&S P5 signals. Signal replacement on the Overland Route west of North Platte seems to have been non-existent along with photos of these US&S classics. If its the lack of interesting power there is a 4 track bridge in Julesburg that sees SD40s everyday except Saturday, which means I have another 816 mile trip planned hopefully in the near future...

"Mr Kossoff, the astigmatism in your right eye has mysteriously corrected itself. Let me explain..."
The Overland Track ends here. One of Australia's premier hiking tracks starts at Cradle Mountain and finishes at Lake St Clair. In the old days people could make the trek in both directions, but in these days of regulation and user pays it is a register, pay and travel in one direction only track. As you'll see from the official link below it takes 6 days to make the 65 kilometre trek and will cost you $200 for the pass:

A number of private companies have taken to promoting the trek and provide an all-inclusive guided service for several thousand dollars. I won't provide any links here, but you can find them online if you have the cash. As a former Australian Prime Minister once said, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
In 1931 fur trapper Bert Nichols created the Overland Track and by 1935 it was consolidated and used by independent walking parties. By 1937 it was officially named the Overland Track and the track had been upgraded to be used for guided tours and pack horses.

The Overland Track can be a very dangerous place to be, certainly with the very changeable weather in the region. So the fact it is well monitored and regulated is a good thing. In 1965 there was a disastrous school hike that claimed the lives of a student teacher, Ewan Scott, and a student David Kilvert. The heroism of Scott as he tried to save the life of Kilvert in blizzard conditions is remembered in this article: www.examiner.com.au/story/3068014/heroism-defined-in-moun...
The twice weekly passenger train between Adelaide and Melbourne 'The Overland' drops downgrade towards Callington, South Australia, on the morning of Thursday 11 December 2025.
The service is provided by tourism operator Journey Beyond is is partly subsidised by the Victorian and South Australian state governments. Pacific National are contracted for the 'hook and pull' of these services, usually using one of their NR class locomotives.

On 6 September 1986, then local rail tour operator Train Tour Promotions chartered a consist of Overland cars for a trip from Adelaide to Nuriootpa in the Barossa Valley and back.
The weather wasn't the best, but fortuitously the train stopped briefly at Sandy Creek for safe-working purposes, just as a burst of sun illuminated the train and the storm clouds behind.
Australian National broad-gauge Alco DL531 no.868, recently ex-works, did the honours. Usually on standard gauge, it was only put on BG bogies for a short time after overhaul and 17 days later on 23/9/86 was back on SG.
