A bit of V/Line dominance in the Hills on a wet and miserable morning at Belair, South Australia, sometime in 1989. C509 and two S class locos (S301/S312) on MA5 intermodal freight has been looped to allow the overnight Overland passenger service from Melbourne, with N458/S310 in charge, to overtake. A lone Australian National 700 (706) tries its best to hide as fourth unit on MA5 - June 1989.

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 ;)
The overnight Adelaide to Melbourne 'The Overland' emerges from Sleeps Hill tunnel in the Adelaide Foothills on 23 December 1991.
Taken about 50 minutes before sunset, there were only a few weeks in the year that you could make this shot work before the shadows quickly encroached.

Overland, primero marca y fabricante (1905-1907) y luego solo marca de la Willys-Overland (1908-1927).
La historia de Overland se remonta a 1902, año en el que se fundó en la localidad Terre Haute, del estado de Indiana (EEUU), la empresa Standard Wheel, cuya principal actividad era la construcción de automóviles monocilíndricos.
Tres años más tarde, en 1905, trasladó sus instalaciones a Indianápolis y adoptó el nombre de Overland Automobile Company.
La nueva denominación duró muy poco, ya que en 1907 fue adquirida por el comerciante multimillonario John North Willys, el cual, en 1908 cambió la razón social por la de Willys Overland Company, la que presentó el proyecto del Jeep al ejército estadounidense en 1939.
No obstante, la Willys Overland, mantuvo el nombre de Overland como marca hasta finales de los años 20 y principios de los 30 y fue paulatinamente sustituida por Willys.. (Wikipedia)

Durante la década de 1900, el comerciante estadounidense John North Willys montó un comercio minorista de automóviles en la localidad de Elmira, Nueva York, donde se dedicó a la venta y representación oficial de la división Overland Automotive de la Standard Wheel Company. Sin embargo, los continuos problemas en el abastecimiento de suministros lo llevaron a tomar la decisión de adquirir esta compañía, hecho que se terminó concretando en el año 1908. Tras haber adquirido esta empresa, Willys la reestructuró y en 1912 pasó a denominarla Willys-Overland Motors, iniciando una nueva etapa en la industria automotriz. El crecimiento de Willys-Overland fue tal, que en 1913 adquirió una licencia para producir motores desarrollados por Charles Knight, con sistema de válvulas de camisa, lo que permitió el inicio de la producción de una serie de automóviles que fueron conocidos como Willys-Knight. La expansión de Willys incluyó la compra de la Electric Autolite Company en 1914. Previamente, se había hecho con las acciones de la Marion Motor Car Company en 1909 y un predio perteneciente a la quebrada firma Pope Motor Car Company, en la localidad de Toledo, Ohio. Allí, Willys trasladó toda la producción de sus vehículos levantando una importante fábrica, mientras que en 1912 terminó por tomar la decisión de renovar el nombre de su empresa por el de Willys-Overland Motors Company. Las acciones de esta nueva compañía se amplificaron con la llegada de la firma Ewards Motor Company en 1913, la Russell Motor Car Company de Toronto, Canadá en 1916 y la New Process Gear en 1917. Esto último, le permitió a Willys convertir a su empresa en la Willys-Overland Corporation. La lista de compras se agrandó en 1919, al ser adquirida una planta en Elizabeth (Nueva Jersey) que perteneció a la Duesenberg Motors Company. Durante esta primera etapa de producción, la nueva Willys-Overland alcanzó la segunda posición como productora de vehículos de los Estados Unidos, siendo apenas superada por la Ford Motor Company, entre los años 1912 y 1918.
A mediados de la década del '20, Willys-Overland adquirió una nueva compañía al hacerse con las acciones de la F. B. Stearns and Company continuando con la producción de los modelos de lujo Stearns, a los que se los equipó con los impulsores Knight, dando origen a la gama Stearns-Knight. A su vez, fue levantada una nueva planta en Indianápolis a donde debía trasladarse toda la producción de la planta de Elizabeth, destinándose una parte de la misma para la producción del Willys Six, sin embargo, la depresión de 1920 producida por la posguerra puso en jaque las acciones de Willys-Overland. Los bancos asumieron el control de la Willys, quienes a su vez contrataron al empresario Walter Percy Chrysler para sanear la situación. Una de las primeras medidas tomadas, fue la suspensión de la producción justamente del Willys Six, del cual se lo consideraba como un verdadero fracaso industrial. Sin embargo, su base fue tomada por el propio Chrysler para desarrollar un prototipo al cual llamó Chrysler Six. Para ello, contó con un equipo de ingenieros conformado por los ingenieros Frederick Morrell Zeder , Owen Ray Skelton y Carl Breer, quienes provenían de la Studebaker donde fueron conocidos como "The Three Musketeers" (Los tres mosqueteros) (Wikipedia)

Monsoon lingered in Nepal in September 1985. It was wet and hot walking the famous Annapurna Circuit trail. Until we reached the backside of the Annapurna massif - no more rains and a cooler, drier climate. It was harvest time in the fabled Manang Valley - sheltered by huge mountains, it was a pocket of a peculiar Tibetan tribe and their culture. Here just after the village of Tal we were walking in the deep Marsyandi river gorge. Just before a heavy rainfall started a Tibetan horse was peacefully grazing on our path.
At that time there were no roads to Manang valley and it took a week of walking to reach the rain shadow. That has changed and it has changed the lives in the valley forever.
The picture was originally photographed on Fujichrome slide film with my Nikon FE2 camera and 50mm lens. I photographed the slide by bracketing it with a Nikon D600 camera and enhanced the picture in Lightroom, Photoshop, and Topaz.
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:
parks.tas.gov.au/explore-our-parks/cradle-mountain/overla...
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.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overland_Track
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...

Shots straight out of my iPhone... this is my 2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD 4x4 Off-Road truck transformed by the Asheville Vehicle Outfitters in NC to overland and rock crawl... I climbed to the summit of Windrock mountain (traversing one trail segment rated difficult). I then drove down to southern FL.. coming back to IL to finalize the sale of my house. Next spring, I’m heading into the wildernesses of Canada and Alaska, taking a 7+ month photography trip (and that’s just the beginning). It is parked in my driveway here in Macomb, Illinois... but I'm selling the house and will soon be living out of the truck.
