At the Amboy Depot Days Car Show, 2017. This is the same car that I photographed at the J. C. Whitney Car Show back in early May. It looks like it has some new paint and detailing now, and is still for sale.

Some of the passengers on the Safaris Overland trip that left London for Kabul, on 14 November 1971. The photograph was taken on Christmas Day, 1971 at Persepolis whilst on an excursion from the main route at Tehran. About half the passengers requested to be able to go south and see Isfahan, Persepolis and Shiraz. I charged them enough to pay for the diesel for the 1,200 mile round trip, which took us five days.
This cost them each very little — in those days you could buy about 15 gallons of diesel for £1 (GBP) in Iran – so this side-trip was good value for money. The remainder of the passengers stayed in Tehran until we got back, probably recovering from the gruelling trip so far – just to get this far through the most extreme winter in this region for many, many years. At Isfahan there had been some, not much, snow on the ground, but here at Persepolis there was a welcome trace of warmth in the sun – at last.

This trip was unable to get to India due to the war-like political situation between Pakistan and India at the time, so it terminated in Kabul, Afghanistan. All the passengers on this trip were travelling further on, so they did this by taking local buses to Pakistan, or flights direct to India.
Turkey: December 1971
This photo, taken by John H, shows the AEC bus somewhere between Maras and Elazig, in central Turkey: the shivering passengers are reboarding the bus after they had had to walk for two kilometers in a snowstorm. It had been so bad that I'd been unable to see where the road was so they walked ahead a few metres in front of the bus, and I followed them, as there was steep drop to one side. Also, if the bus had begun to slide off the road then they wouldn't have gone with it – I'd kept the front door open so that if the bus had started sliding over the edge, I hoped to be able to leap out of it. It took five days to drive over 600 miles from the Mediterranean coast to Erzurum, which is on the main trunk road across Turkey to the Iranian border – part of the so-called Eurasian Highway, and in those days still made up of long distances of gravel. I had bought snow chains for the rear wheels in Adana; without them we would never had got anywhere; they were needed until we got to Agri, having finally got over the Tahir Pass, once it had been re-opened after the colossal snowfalls. One section of that trip, from Malatya to Elazig, took a whole day to drive just seventy-odd miles.
The Historic Overland Corner Hotel is situated along the Goyder Highway, 21 kilometres from Barmera in the Riverland, South Australia.
Originally set up as a watering hole for drovers and overlanders operating between New South Wales and the Adelaide Colony, it also served as a temporary camping ground for steamers passing through on the River Murray, which flows a mere 600ft from the hotel. The historic building was erected in 1859, and since that time has served as a staging point, a general store, a police station and even the local Post Office.
In 1965, the building was purchased by the National Trust of South Australia and, with the aid of locally raised and commonwealth funding, the fossilised limestone building was completely restored. It now stands as a beacon of history in the Riverland, and is the oldest structure to remain standing in the area. Today, the Overland Corner operates as a hotel, serving some of the finest cuisine in the Riverland amongst the beautiful backdrop and serene settings of Overland Corner.
With regular live events, several of the finest locally brewed beers and wines, and a friendly and comfortable atmosphere, the Historic Overland Corner Hotel is a 'must visit' location for locals and travelers alike.

As you can see we have some fancy stuff here in Missouri. Wife and I have lived in the Kansas City area for over 32 year and we never knew this place existed. Guess with raising kids and working all the time, we just didn't get around to seeing all the cool attractions in town. Well the kids are all grown up so we have more time to find cool places like this one in the future. One thing is for sure, I will be going back to this place again. Its a big place and if you like flower photography, you will never run out of stuff to shoot.
The Overland was normally rostered for two locomotives throughout on its interstate run between Melbourne and Adelaide during this era, but occasionally extra units could appear as a result of failures or loco balancing between Tailem Bend and Adelaide.
On 22 November 1987, broad gauge locos 954/X46/963 roll downhill from Sleeps Hill Tunnel only a few minutes away from journey's end in Adelaide - in this case was likely that 954 was added at Tailem Bend.

A meet with a westbound manifest impending, this eastbound stack train rolls towards Medicine Bow Wyoming on 16 May 2021.
A comparison a century and a half apart.
The one photo I wanted of the eastbound Spike150 celebratory train starting back on the first day of their eastbound journey over the famed UP mainline for which they were built.
Compare my image to the one in this link by A.J. Russell or possibly William Henry Jackson in 1869, courtesy of the Library of Congress:

The mainline has been double tracked, the truss bridge is steel instead of wood, and the steam engine has gotten slightly bigger! But other than that little has changed in a century in a half along the Union Pacific Railroad mainline, route of the first transcontinental.
This is Taggarts Tunnel or Tunnel 8 at MP 963.2 on the modern Evanston Sub at the crossing of the Weber River.
Big Boy 4014 and 844 lead the special east toward Evanston on the first leg of their journey back east to Cheyenne, WY.
It just doesn't get more iconic than this and what a site to behold!
