When I was going to school at St. Cloud State, BNSF still had a couple of branch lines out the west end of town. Both of these were ex-GN through routes cut back in BN days to Collegeville and Cold Spring respectively. BN/BNSF served both as needed with the yard switcher from St. Cloud (West Lead Job) as traffic on the branches was sparse.
I never caught the line all the way to Collegeville (much to my dad's chagrin who still shakes his head to this date and says I really, really should have gotten it!), but I did catch the run to Cold Spring a few times. Cab end switchers weren't that common in St. Cloud, but the West Lead Job was using one on this day when they made a turn for Cold Spring. Wednesday, Oct. 28, 1998 finds SW12 3503 on the last stretch of the slow trip into Cold Spring as it follows the Sauk River on the town's eastern edge with five gons of granite.
The line from Collegville to St. Joseph was torn up in 2000. Like so many towns in central MN, Cold Spring is losing their rail service too. This section of track into Cold Spring has been filed for abandonment with Northern Lines only operating as far west as Rockville since 2010.
Update: Tracks started to be torn up at Cold Spring in April 2012.

Actually BN would have listed this gal as an SW12 because, I read, there computer software could not deal with model numbers of more that four characters. When Roger Puta photographed BN 247, ex-CB&Q 9289, she was at the Burlington Station, Omaha, Nebr. on December 16, 1970.

A new operator in 1984 was Goldways Travel in London, who started with a pair of AEC Reliances which each made visits to the lights, and were typical of the 'straggler' operators who arrived late in the day, and if they were lucky managed to find themselves a spot in the open at the end of a line - which was also lucky for me, to be able to catch this rare bird.
RFF 118L was one of just 6 AEC Reliances with a Van Hool Vistadome body, and had been new to Parry's Regina Coaches at Blaenau Ffestiniog, later seeing use further south with Eynon of Trimsaran and Morris Bros. of Swansea. The Goldways operation was fairly short-lived, and had ceased by mid-1987, and this saw no further use after that date.
More than a hint of Premier Travel there ....

A former CB&Q SW12 in BNSF paint holds down a string of tanks at the Landus Coop in Bayard. The east end of the BNSF Bayard Sub is about a mile to the right. I really need to spend some vacation chasing the local out here next summer. There are so many good broadsides, bridges, large culverts, and other things to shoot. You just have to be willing to spend the entire day going one direction following one train. That's probably why this is likely the least shot piece of railroad in Iowa.

This 02/59 built SW12 started out as the Colorado & Southern 160. It later became the BN 255 and then went on to be BNSF 3523 before being sold to Independent Locomotive Services. The unit is seen here in some nice morning light at the east end of BNSF's Havre MT yard.
Some years ago I acquired a quantity of bus negatives originally taken by the late Bill Legg. Included were lots of 1950s/60s views of lorries operated by Market Transport, London SW12 (and associated companies). This Albion flatbed, fleet number 166, was seen in what I assume is the Weir Street yard, around 1960. Any information on the company or fleet would be most welcome!

Earth Designs Garden Design and Build were asked to created a landscape and propose garden design in Balham, London*. Here are the details of the project
The Outside Room Garden in Balham, London SW12
BRIEF:
The space was formerly a double garage nestled between two houses. The roof had been removed, leaving behind a worn concrete and cobble floor, garage doors, and two rusted steel girders crossing the space. In creative terms, the brief was fairly open: to design a clean and contemporary space, suitable for entertaining yet functional enough to accommodate off-street parking for a family car.
SOLUTION:
The design was inspired by the strong sense of enclosure to the space, taking elements of a typical lounge to create something that was very much an exterior room. New railway sleepers, chosen for their clean look and contemporary feel, featured heavily as a construction material.
These were used to create raised beds around the boundaries, an integrated 'sofa' and coffee table, and a dresser-style shelving unit down one side of the space. Judicious lighting within the beds and shelving units served to create ambient lighting similar to that found in a well-planned drawing room.
The 'living room' theme was further enhanced by the inclusion of a bespoke wrought iron chandelier hanging from the cross-point of the girders. To allow for off-street parking, the existing garage doors were replaced with two large bespoke wooden gates, and pattern-imprinted concrete was laid to provide attractive and durable flooring. Planting was used to blur the linear appearance of the space, with architectural, spiky evergreens and lush, leafy climbers taking pride of place. A water feature constructed from a Heath Robinson-esque series of copper piping and funnels provided the finishing touch to the garden.
TESTIMONIAL:
"The phrase 'making a silk purse from a sow's ear' comes to mind! What we had grown used to fondly referring to as 'The Prison Yard' is now a tropical oasis that gets more use than any other "room" in the house. Katrina and her team interpreted our brief perfectly and delivered, through wind, rain, and on one notable occasion a violent thunderstorm, our perfect garden. We can't thank them enough for what is, as one old chap commented in passing, 'The most remarkable transformation I have ever seen'. Thank you. We love it!"
