Milwaukee Road C&E North Line switcher on Lakewood, shoving two empty tank cars from Peerless Confection back towards the run-around track at Wrightwood, 6-5-86. A little pool of corn syrup is on the ground at the siding where the tank cars were just picked up.
what better place to begin a meeting from.
peerless, both balm and alarm.
feeling the great distances bridged.
heartened to be part of a cognizable network.
grappling with a confounding universe
unanswered toughies with the proton
surface life sputters incoherent percipience
perception, deception, selection.
bottom down, the question; conjured up.
flawless pearl — is it truly so?
the heart - a hibiscus unclenching
first radiant gesture of love.

The hurt you embrace becomes joy.
Call it to your arms, where it can change.

Milwaukee Road Lakewood Branch switcher (C&E North Line) switching Peerless Confection on Lakewood, 9-86
Soo Geep 2406 in former Milwaukee Road territory; poking its nose into Diversey Ave. while switching the street trackage at Peerless Confection on Lakewood on a very overcast June 1996 day. Today the big Peerless Confection plant is gone, and homes line Lakewood on this block.

It appears to be in EC. One of the pulley sheaves has a section chipped out. See pictures. Nickel plating is nice, no rust. Discoloration seen in pix is of dried oil from storage.
This portrait was commissioned by Mr. C. Sheehan, Inchea, Abbeyside, Dungarvan which seems somehow at odds with the gentleman concerned. It would seem that Pasha Mustafa al Jamil or Emir Saddam Mubarak would be more appropriate for a gentleman in such fine Middle Eastern military regalia?

This Soo Line job was delayed returning south on the former Milwaukee Road Chicago & Evanston Line by several vehicles on the other side of the engine from this view that were sticking out and not giving enough clearance for the engine. It just dropped off a tank car for Peerless Confection a few blocks to the north.
Prior to the era of cutbacks starting in the early 1970s the C&E Line was double tracked in this area and where there are condos were once rail served coal yards, lumber yards, factories, etc.
Peerless and talented master ves-chan www.flickr.com/photos/26947305@N06/ did for my Ivo (Dollstown 18 boy) incredibly realistic military jacket, which I began to dream a year ago, for a long time looking for the masters in the network. To provide s020.radikal.ru/i719/1509/6f/da3fae6380ac.jpg, ves-chan made absolutely identical version of my amendments on drawings (hawk replaced by wolf ). Among other things, she embroiders patterns on a typewriter, so they are realistic and fit on the scale. This mega-cool!
Sutures, both external and internal, without a single blot, fabric quality is such as I wanted (in conjunction with a master for a long time picking), accessories and scale perfectly met for bjd, and looks extremely impressive. And also - to meet all deadlines to send a photo of intermediate processes, and communication was very friendly and prompt.
I am very happy (given my reverent attitude to detail) and heartfelt thanks for the wonderful wizard thing! Now I am happy, because Ivo finished.

This steam engine was used with a moveable sawmill, generally called a ""ground hot mill." The sawmill is also on display with some other equipment. A photo of the planer is in one of the comments below.

A closer look at the film projector in the old theater. It’s not nearly this dark in the projection booth, but the light from the windows was really hitting this nameplate, so I ran with it, and underexposed everything else.

The CCCA (Classic Car Club of America) held its 2016 annual meeting in mid-January at the Hyatt Place Hotel in nearby Novi, Michigan. Their car show and judging was held on January 16 in the adjoining Suburban Collection Showplace, a large exhibition center. "Sweet Sixteen" (as in cylinders) was the show's theme.
This is the last Peerless that was built and the only Peerless with a sixteen cylinder engine.

This was a big car, with a 137 inch wheelbase. The six-cylinder engine produced 48 HP, as the model name implies.
Former home of the Peerless Chain Company, Winona, Minnesota. Peerless Chain Company was started by three brothers in 1917 making tire chains in the back room of a butcher shop. While they are no longer at this location, they have grown over the past century to become the largest chain producer in the U.S., and the third-largest in the world.

Unfortunately I can't get the change of keeper up details now, but I believe when I looked it was 1968; which had already been suggested by the owner's wife.
I know it's been there since the early 90s, as I remember seeing it in my youth and wondering what it was. Nice to know after totally forgetting about it for 20 years.

Pan American World Airways, originally founded as Pan American Airways and commonly known as Pan Am, was the principal and largest international air carrier and unofficial overseas flag carrier of the United States from 1927 until the airline's collapse on December 4, 1991. Pan Am is credited for many innovations that shaped the international airline industry, including the widespread use of jet aircraft, jumbo jets, and computerized reservation systems. Identified by its blue globe logo, the use of the word "Clipper" in its aircraft names and call signs, and the white uniform caps of its pilots, the airline was a cultural icon of the 20th century. With a large and modern fleet, Pan Am reached its peak in the early 1970s. Pan Am was a founding member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the global airline industry association.

1928 Pierce-Arrow Model 81 Runabout
About this car
75 bhp, 288.5 cu. in. L-head inline six-cylinder engine, three-speed manual transmission, solid front and rear axle suspension with parallel semi-elliptical leaf springs, and four-wheel vacuum-powered brakes. Wheelbase: 130 in.
Excellent engineering and legendary quality made Pierce-Arrow a leader in the luxury car market from the beginning, alongside Packard and Peerless. Nevertheless, Pierce-Arrow faced great pressure during the 1920s from other manufacturers, which were beginning to adopt more modern production techniques, thereby reducing their costs. Conversely, while Pierce-Arrow sales were quite good, its low production volume and more traditional, labor-intensive production techniques limited the company’s ability to compete in the rapidly evolving automotive market.
In response, Pierce-Arrow launched the Model 80 in 1924 as a somewhat smaller and less complex companion model to its Dual Valve Six model line. The Model 80 was continuously improved and boasted an advanced, four-wheel, vacuum-powered brake system by 1927. Changes for 1928 were minimal, with the Model 80 renamed Model 81 and further distinguished by smaller headlamps for only one year. In addition, a new emblem, reputedly the Pierce family crest, was displayed on Pierce-Arrow radiators for 1928, until Mrs. Percy Pierce correctly pointed out that it was not the actual crest of the George N. Pierce family. Pierce-Arrow built nearly 5,000 of the technically advanced and very attractive Series 81 models in 1928, and they remain highly prized by collectors and enthusiasts alike.
The dashing Model 81 Runabout offered here was acquired by Mr. and Mrs. Kughn after many years of ownership by enthusiast Dr. E. Stanley Cope, in whose care it was an AACA Senior National First Prize winner in 1976. Unfortunately, its earlier history is unknown, as it no longer retains its original serial number tag. It is finished in a lovely, period-correct cream with black fenders and green door saddles that match its painted wire wheels, and it is equipped with a proper canvas folding top, a radiator stone guard, “Archer” mascot, dual side-mounted spares, and wide whitewall tires. Wonderful details show in its well-preserved button-tufted brown leather upholstery and the rich interior woodwork, including a steering wheel and dashboard containing Waltham gauges that are free from cracks and wear.
