Just another of the many abandoned service stations around town. For many years, after the station closed, it was a TV repair shop. Now it's also out of service because today people just throw away their old sets instead of trying to fix them. A sign of the times...
37421 approaches Cardiff Queen Street Station working the 3Z36 Rhymney to Cardiff Canton Sidings Crew Trainer. Meanwhile, 37418 departs Queen Street working the 2R20 TfW Cardiff Central to Rhymney service. 19 June 2019.
A few days into the service of Route 379 by the new operator. During the bulk of the day it is a 15 minute serice which requires two buses - and here they both are.
As they are new, we will forgive them for an error setting the destination blind; the one going up the hill is going to Chingford Station, the one coming towards us is going to Yardley Lane. It's a circular route, and at Yardley Lane the blind is quickly changed to Chingford Station before moving off to the next stop, but it allows people to know which way the bus is going if they don't know the area.
I had promised to upload a shot of WCS195 which was for me the pick of the Strachans bodied AEC Regent Vs. It was the only example to lose it's maroon tween decks band and receive the elevated fleetname as shown here, although it retained it's smart maroon mudguards. Buses of the owner Hill were characterised by a silver star on the front grille.
Union Pacific GP9 No. 299 leads the St. John Local across 3rd North Street in Salt Lake City, Utah on July 29, 1977. It was built by EMD for the Union Pacific in Sept. 1954, equipped with a steam generator and an 800 gallon water tank for system wide passenger service. The steam generator was removed in 1972 and a 2400 gallon fuel tank installed. The 299 was retired from the roster in July 1982 and sold for scrap to General Metals in Tacoma, Washington on December 24, 1982. (Info via UtahRails.net)
This was the image prepared in first of the livery of Weardale Motor Services of Stanhope, County Durham - an operator with an exceptionally high standard of turnout. Fortunately it's still with us and, it would seem, doing very well with an expanding fleet in a predominantly white livery. Here we turn the clock back to the company's traditional livery.
I first came across Weardale on a regular basis in the early 1980s, when it was building up an impressive fleet of second-hand, traditional double-deckers for school contracts. Rumour was that it wanted a Routemaster, but this was probably wishful thinking by enthusiasts and it simply didn't happen. The company had hoped to have YUP 6, its preserved Leyland PD2, fully restored for its 85th birthday in 2007. When it became clear that it wouldn't make it in time, I decided to turn out a Routemaster in this commemorative livery. I think that it looks rather good.

I only photographed a couple of UK Lynx (Lynxes if you prefer) and the results weren't very good, so I've raided my Maltese collection for this series of images - hence the repanelled lower body sides without the 'boxy' Leyland wheel arches.
OK Travel received a few Lynx via a fleet acquisition by parent company Go North East. They were rather rough and the contemporary 'go faster' blue and red corporate livery did nothing for them. Here's my interpretation of what they could have looked like in the final OK Travel livery, with the kind of care and attention that the original OK Motor Services might have afforded them.
Had they been bodied by a third party such as Plaxton, the rounded wheel arches would have probably been original; otherwise I would like to think that they were the handiwork of Gardiners of Spennymoor.

Happy Wednesday everyone!! These are one of my favorite Florida Birds!! Florida has two populations of Sandhill Cranes, one that is migratory that visits us in the winter and a non-migratory population that is resident throughout most of the peninsula!! This pair of Sandhill Cares is part of the non-migratory population and decided to sit in the shade of an Oak Tree right next to my blind!! What a treat to be that close up to these wonderful birds!! The black dots around the birds are small biting insects!! On a side note, Florida receives its migratory Sandhill Cranes from the Eastern and Central Flyways and they come to Florida from as far way as the Arctic!! A sad fact for those of us that are not fans of Sandhill Crane hunting is that approximately 45,000 Sandhill Cranes were hunted and killed last year in North America (Still protected In Florida) per USFW !!

A staged night shot at the East Syracuse Amtrak station on the evening of 5 November 1990. The Central New York Chapter NRHS owned, ex-PRR E8A unit, under restoration as Lackawanna 808, poses in a throwback scene. A younger version of me leans out of the cab, as Ron Vile "fuels" the 808, using a septic pumping hose borrowed from a Rohr turboliner! Lighting was provided by the late Tom Trencansky and others.
This picture is dedicated to railroader and preservation advocate Bob Harrison, who passed away this weekend. A former New York Central mechanic and electrician, Bob spent many an evening troubleshooting E-units on the fly, while heading up name trains like the Twentieth Century Limited. After retiring he lent his skills to restoring the chapter's units to operating condition, often riding along as on board mechanic during excursions, including old diesels like the 808 pictured and its mate 807, plus FP7 No. 637, and later assisting other operations like the Adirondack Scenic Railroad with their motive power. Rest in peace, old friend. Long May You Run....
An every day scene at Cardiff Station as a Class 142 DMU departs for Bargoed. The service originated from Penarth.
For Steam Sunday here's another from what was unquestionably the longest train chase of my life...well over 500 miles from DeQuincy, Louisiana to the Mexican border at Laredo, Texas (though not in one day)!
This is Canadian Pacific 2816, the famed 'Empress', an H1b class 4-6-4 Hudson built by Montreal Locomotive Works in 1930. Orignally retired in 1960 after there decades of pulling CP passenger trains the locomotive was purchased by F. Nelson Blount for preservation as part of his Steamtown collection in Vermont. It later moved with the rest of the collection to Scranton until CP purchased it back from the National Park Service in 1998. Returned to service in 2001 she operated until 2012 when E. Hunter Harrison took the reigns at CP. Eight years later Keith Creel (EHH's successor) reversed course and she was fired up for a test run and then a second restoration began which was completed in 2023.
As a way of celebrating the approval and consummation of the Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern Railway merger on April 14, 2023 CPKC is running a tri nation tour across the length of their newly combined network. The trip began in Calgary on April 24th and concluded in Mexico City on June 7th before returning home for a total of three months on the road and 9000 miles round trip!
Here she is paused for a service stop in a strange land far from her historic home rails operating across Union Pacific trackage rights on modern day UP's Houston Sub the former Southern Pacific (T&NO) Sunset Route mainline. She is sitting just east of the Van Hut Lane crossing at about MP 350.8 near the eastern city limits and will soon be on the move toward Englewood Yard and through downtown on her way to Sugarland, Rosenburg and ultimately home rails in Kendleton where she'll rest for a couple nights.

A water service truck found in the ghost town near Jerome, Arizona which is privately owned. The ghost town has hauled in dozens of old trucks, machinery and buildings to populate the tourist attraction which costs $12.00 to visit. The lettering on the side of the truck says it is a donation by the Warfield Family. Don't know whether this truck really does supply water. Luckily we did not need to drink any water during our visit!
Happy Truck Thursday!
Christian churches are few and far between in Mauritania in a country that is almost one hundred per cent Muslim.
Here, three of the congregation leave their tiny Catholic church after Sunday morning service in Nouadhibou.
(Tech. note - Even allowing for the post processing, the fact that the modern digital camera was able record detail in the subjects' dark faces AND the white clothing, all under the harsh African sun just astounds me.)

Some pictures from our random visit to their yard in December. Nice guys with some really sweet trucks. From what we were told, they are sticking around, and might even have some new trucks right now.
Thanks to Samuel and Alan for letting us check out the yard.
