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.

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.
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)

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..."
The Eager Inn located at the fork of Pike Lake Road and Morgans Fork Road near Bainbridge, Ohio was a prominent stop on the Underground Railroad and was the first stone inn built in Ohio to support overland travel. Built along the Zane Trace trail around 1797 by Andrew Ellison and John Beasley, it served as an inn until 1870 and then was used as a general store and residence until 1950.
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...

Kansas City (abbreviated KC or KCMO) is the largest city in Missouri by population and area. As of the 2020 census, the city had a population of 508,090 in 2020, making it the 36th most-populous city in the United States. It is the most populated municipality and historic core city of the Kansas City metropolitan area, which straddles the Kansas–Missouri state line and has a population of 2,392,035. Most of the city lies within Jackson County, with portions spilling into Clay, Cass, and Platte counties. Kansas City was founded in the 1830s as a port on the Missouri River at its confluence with the Kansas River coming in from the west. On June 1, 1850, the town of Kansas was incorporated; shortly after came the establishment of the Kansas Territory. Confusion between the two ensued, and the name Kansas City was assigned to distinguish them soon after.
Sitting on Missouri's western boundary with Kansas, with Downtown near the confluence of the Kansas and Missouri Rivers, the city encompasses about 319.03 square miles (826.3 km2), making it the 23rd largest city by total area in the United States. It serves as one of the two county seats of Jackson County, along with the major suburb of Independence. Other major suburbs include the Missouri cities of Blue Springs and Lee's Summit and the Kansas cities of Overland Park, Olathe, Lenexa, and Kansas City, Kansas.
The city is composed of several neighborhoods, including the River Market District in the north, the 18th and Vine District in the east, and the Country Club Plaza in the south. Celebrated cultural traditions include Kansas City jazz, theater, which was the center of the Vaudevillian Orpheum circuit in the 1920s, the Chiefs and Royals sports franchises, and famous cuisine based on Kansas City-style barbecue, Kansas City strip steak, and craft breweries.

The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts is a performing arts center in downtown Kansas City, Missouri, USA, at 16th and Broadway, near the Power & Light District, the T-Mobile Center and the Crossroads Arts District. Its construction was a major part of the ongoing redevelopment of downtown Kansas City.
The Center was created as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Unlike some other major civic construction projects, no taxpayer funds went into its construction. The City of Kansas City contributed to and operates a parking garage adjacent to the Kauffman Center.
It is the performance home to the Kansas City Symphony, the Lyric Opera of Kansas City, and the Kansas City Ballet which in the past performed at the Lyric Theatre, eight blocks north of the center. The Kauffman Center houses two unique performance venues: Muriel Kauffman Theatre and Helzberg Hall.
According to its website, the Kauffman Center's mission is "to enrich the lives of communities throughout the region, country and world by offering extraordinary and diverse performing arts experiences". Not only do notable performances take place almost weekly, but the Center is a place where the KC community comes together and celebrates the city's rich arts culture. The Kauffman Center seeks to fulfill this mission by offering a wide selection of performances, and also by offering specific programs to connect with the youth in the Kansas City area.
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.
