Northern Pacers 142051 & 142059 have just departed Gathurst station and cross over the Leeds - Liverpool canal and River Douglas on a fine November afternoon in 2014.
* Considered to be only a stop-gap solution and based on the Leyland National bus body some of these units managed a creditable 35 years in service.
** For the record 96 were built, 15 were available for service on the last day (stand corrected on that) and 20 have made it into preservation.
Yesterday, a trolley from the Rockhill Trolley Museum visited Williams Grove (near Mechanicsburg, PA). Its visit will last 9 days. It ran on the tracks that the Williams Grove Historical Steam Engine Association’s PRR 0-6-0 famously runs on, and it used a generator car generously loaned by the Middletown and Hummelstown Railroad. The M&H owner (Wendell Dillinger) was very into trolleys himself.
This marked the first time since 1938 that an electric trolley operated in Cumberland County. Perhaps this is a view of things to come. [I will make no further comment on the subject]
My wife was my "wheelman" for a few pacing shots. This was the last frame, and I think it is the best. A Ford Model T behind us wasn't happy with our slow pace and kept using its horn. I have to wonder how many times that Ford has been the slow car and upset other drivers.
This particular trolley was built in Porto, Portugal, in 1929 and is basically a copy of a Brill trolley built in the USA. The design is often called a "Toonerville Trolley." The crews in Portugal had been working on the American trolleys so much that they thought they could make their own - so they did.
I find it interesting that the trolley has three separate braking systems: air brakes, hand brakes, and dynamic brakes.

Bella Pace, one of the most beautiful sims in Second Life.
The sim will be closing soon. If you haven't visited it yet, hurry up before it's too late.

With the Bozeman Turn on the drawbar, MRL 355 glides into Livingston on MRL's 2nd Sub. The big, 20 cylinder EMD would ease its train into the yard to wait for a helper set to assist over Bozeman Pass.

With only a few miles left to the El Segundo mine, Escalante Western's trio of SD40s are roaring right along with their empty train. Despite not only the very brief crash course in pacing a train, but also having a very small window of opportunity where the tracks are close enough to the highway with no obstructions, I think my wife did a pretty decent driving job to make this shot happen!
CSX I026-03 with CSX 1982, the newest revealed CSX heritage scheme, painted in the SBD livery. With hot stacks bound for Bedford Park, IL they take no time as they race for KY/TN state line- 7/4/23.

Buffalo & Pittsburgh train SIBF (Salamanca to Buffalo) is headed north through Chaffee in the late evening hours as we pace the train along highway 16 and snag some pan shots.
With wind howling through the trees and white water in the channel an unidentified Class 142 Pacer heads across Porthkerry viaduct working towards Bridgend. 2E32 12:38 Merthyr Tydfil to Bridgend.
One area where Pacers are clinging on during 2020 is the 'English Riviera' on services between Paignton and Exmouth. From what Ive noted over the last few days the 143 units have invariably been on the east end of the services paired with 150 units
On 8th September 2020 143617 was in charge of 2F12 at Dawlish paired with FGW Blue 150219. If anyone knows what this attachment is for on the front of the Pacer please leave a comment

What you don't see, when you watch show jumping on TV, is the jockeys all pacing round the arena wearing their riding gear to prepare for the competition. It is a surreal sight - like a live Magritte painting... At the Royal Windsor Horse show.

Get Pushed - well, - one of my 'get pushed' challenges was to get a reflection that dominates the photo (errr ummm.)
BOOM!
Why did the snail cross the road ? I have no idea ;-)
But my phone got quite drenched in the process !!!

The former Norfolk & Western's J-class (R) 4-8-4 steam locomotive number 611, now owned by the Virginia Museum of Transportation, is on the grade approaching the summit of the Blue Ridge at Linden, Virginia, on an excursion train between Manassas and Front Royal, on June 4, 2016. As can be seen from the essentially vertical path of the smoke, it's moving at a very slow pace, due to the lengthy passenger train behind it; the smaller white 'cloud' below it is from the whistle, which is being blown for the grade crossing just ahead.
OK, you can't hear the whistle or the exhaust, but you can see this evocative scene every day on your home or office wall; check out: photodecor.net/products/canvas-wraps-3

Let's celebrate Pacer travel in West Yorkshire, on a damp November Saturday night when the timetable looks to have gone to pot with delays and cancellations, Northern Pacer 142026 gets underway from Woodlesford, 37 minutes late with the Daily return Leeds to Goole. A local pub bonfire kindly provided the pyrotechnic display.
For the record 142026 2F25 17:58 Leeds to Goole.
