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)

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.

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.

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..."
A late running LFG58 (Grand Island - North Platte local) rolls its final miles across the Overland Route triple track. Over the next 24 hours, there were 93 trains on the lineup for North Platte with this local being the only train with a standard cab. Apr 1, 2016
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...
Here is an unedited view of the Mundt barn with rough lumber shed in the foreground. The barn is atop the ridge and needed plenty of lightening rods. Modern #287 highway is just beyond on the rise; the original Overland Stage Route was across this land behind me. The ford over the Little Thompson crossed the Mundt property a qarter mile behind me. In fact, a marker is planted near the ford. It commemorates the death of an unknown traveler who died here. He apparently got a heart attack when he got his ankles wet at the ford. Nobody knows the story but he merited a sandstone marker out back.
All the fences behind the Mundt barn are on the way down. I got behind the barn and found better fencing although none of the corrals could contain livestock today. Livestock would get smashed up on the highway now. The Mundt barn and the Meining barn, west on county road #4, were built by the same contractor. Both familes were related through marriage. There are more possibilities than the Mundt barn out here. I found several prizes.
eDDie always finds barns for my agricultural collection. I have passed this place any number of times and it usually had a large, ugly dump bin in the view of the barn. This was shot north of Logmont. The place is about as abandoned as this shed.
A great sky showed up for a while and I raced north but could have found better skies to the west an hour earlier. Any sky dictated a day of trolling around Mundt with the camera. There have been too many blank and milk skies in Trumpistan lately. These are the Rockies but will fill with wet-footed folks from Miami and New Orleans soon enough. Too bad that we are locked into an orange environment now. Kiss it all good bye.

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.
