A beautiful structure built in 1907 designed by the famous architect Cass Gilbert who designed New York’s Woolworth Building and US Custom House and Washington DC’s Supreme Court building is the Newark Historic Courthouse located at that triangle at Market Street, Springfield Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard in Newark New Jersey. I walked by this building each week during my term as a grand juror and used to walk by it while an undergraduate in Newark in the 1980’s when it was for the most part abandoned and need of TLC. The design, a Renaissance style marble clad structure is one of the loveliest in New Jersey for sure and another of the renowned architect Cass Gilbert’s masterpieces. #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotoweek @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #iphone7 @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @apple @mpbcom @kehcamera @cityofnewarknj @newjerseyisntboring @newjerseyisbeautiful
For those of us who live (or lived) in the Vauxhall area, you'd know about this long-standing fixture called Hawks Tavern. I remember passing by the place when I was younger. I even stopped in there as an adult. According to a local, the place is doomed to the wrecking ball.
On November 1, 1992, Illinois Central GP38-2 9560 is tied down in front of Avenue tower on the old P&N main. This was a Sunday, and the Springfield Road Switcher was not on duty. Avenue tower, at one time the busiest interlocking tower in Springfield, is one month away from being closed. This was the best photo I have of Avenue because I was a 17 year old kid who didn't think much about the historical value of shooting old interlocking towers. Oh well, at least I have one shot.
You know, when I caught the pair of GTs working Humko the other day, I didn't expect to be shooting them on their rarer excursion with cars of limestone, which I believe are deposited at Prairie Materials near Plastipak. Sure, it meant I'd be late for work, but I wasn't going to pass up the opportunity!
GTW4927 and GTW4910 have swapped places since I last caught them, but the venerable old Geeps sound great as ever as they shove further down the Seymour Spur, formerly the IC Havana District. They'll sit there for a short while, come up and drop the caboose, and spot their limestone cars across the street before picking up and heading back to Kraft. It was quite nice of the city to come in and trim those bushes alongside the small wooden bridge when they redid that section of Springfield Avenue - certainly made shooting the train easier!

I've been a bit out of it these last few months. The general winter bleariness just kept me indoors more often than not. Not to mention, last year was busy, and I was starting to feel the effects of burnout - quit while you're ahead, I figure. So, train stuff has taken a backseat. With the weather getting nicer though, I'm starting to wake back up and get in my photos here and there. Nothing crazy, mind you, but still.
Not to say I haven't been out at all, as earlier this January I happened across a double-GT led Humko and couldn't say no to a few shots. Even ran into a couple of buddies out there, so despite the cold drizzle, it was good to get out a little.
GTW4909 and GTW4920 are backing a cut of plastic hoppers into Plastipak over on Springfield Avenue. I've never quite pinned down how often they go back here, so it's always a nice surprise to see the Humko job going a bit farther than just Kraft. The 4909 departed Champaign a few weeks after this, but the 4920 is still here as of writing this. It'll probably be swapped with something else pretty soon though. Such is the life of Humko power.

After having sat on the switch blocking Springfield Avenue for a good 10-15 minutes, CN's Humko job gets a move on. The few-times-a-month shove back here lets the local drop off limestone loads at Prairie Material, and occasionally it works Plastipak as well. Today, they're just setting out some limestone cars. They'll pull forward and go back to grab their caboose, then they'll be off to go work the Kraft plant. Our pair of Grand Trunk units are out of place here, as these rails are former IC. These tracks were formerly the Havana District, although what remains of the tracks were taken out of service by CN about a decade ago. All tracks east of Seymour are gone, abandoned in the 80s - except for what MRYM got to keep!

Every so often, seems like once or twice a month, the CN Humko job goes back to Prairie Materials to drop off limestone loads. Up until just a week ago, the Humko was staffed by a pair of GTW Geeps - a fine combo! The two units initially shoved back far enough to clear Springfield Avenue, but then later pulled up to the switch back onto the Seymour Spur, where they would sit for a good few minutes and block up the road for a while.
Comparing GTW5846 and GTW4906 is fun - both GP38-2s, but with quite a few phase differences! 5846, a former Pittsburgh & Lake Erie unit, is a 1977-built ph2a1 unit, which was acquired by GTW about 1984. The 4906, meanwhile, is former Missouri Pacific, and one of the earliest GP38-2s manufactured with a build date of 1/1972. The differences between these units are generally minor, but a few notable things are easily seen - the easiest of which are the radiator intakes, note the early phase split-intakes on the 4906 and the late phase single-section on the 5846. Plenty more details are different between units - 81" vs 88" nose length, handrails, pilots, even numbers of rivets on panels and louvres on battery boxes cover differ. The rabbit hole of production phases differences is a deep one, but an interesting one for the modeler especially!
Also, GP38-2s are cool, especially still painted in blue and red. Always nice to see these on the Humko.

The interior of the store has a decidedly urban and industrial vibe. The decor has lots of brick and tile (Newark is known as the "brick city"), corrugated aluminum and grafitti-inspired graphics and fonts. My favorite piece is the"Springfield Avenue Grill", which is the top of a round charcoal grill, backlit with lights that are supposed to be hot coals. The orange lights in back of the letters are animated, so it looks like the coals are smoking.

The 70,000 sq. ft. ShopRite of Newark, NJ opened in the fall of 2015 in Newark's Central Ward. The Springfield Marketplace shopping center is located in what used to be a dense, urban neighborhood, but which was badly burned and damaged during the 1967 Newark riots and which has struggled to come back since.
In 1990, Pathmark opened a 45,000 sq. ft. supermarket and development has slowly proceeded since then. In 1993, Newark's biggest champion, Prudential Financial partnered with Loew's Cinemas to open a movie theater; next came The Home Depot, Duane Reade, and finally, a developer announced in 2012 that they were developing a new shopping center on this long vacant lot. Walmart signed on to open here, but citing the quality of jobs Walmart would bring to the city as the reason, the proposal was rejected. ShopRite stepped in and Neil Greenstein, whose family has owned a ShopRite in neighboring Bloomfield for 3 generations, signed on to build and operate a new ShopRite store.
Today, ShopRite, along with a Pathmark-turned-Acme are the only large chain grocery stores to operate in this city of 281,000 people, though there are many smaller markets. Whole Foods will open downtown later this year.

In the 1890s, Nestor Johansen — now going by the Americanized surname “Johnson” —was earning good money fixing bikes and selling parts, eventually landing him a job at Armstrong Brothers. Tool Company. Along with his membership in several cycling and rowing clubs, Nestor emerged as one of the most recognizable faces in the city’s Norwegian-American Skating Club, regularly finishing among the leaders at races on the frozen ponds of Humboldt, Garfield and Lincoln parks. Nestor began hand-making his own new style of reinforced racing ice skate in 1894. The “tubular” skate would be officially patented a decade later. By 1903, Nestor Johnson was still a key mechanic and salesman for the Armstrong Brothers Tool Company; his skate-making and race organizing business soon became more lucrative than his regular work. A lot of it was a matter of good timing.
At the beginning of the 20th century, there were as many as 600 rinks in regular operation across the city. The State Championships of speed skating in Humboldt Park on New Year’s Day 1903 drew 50,000 spectators. The modern Johnson skates, with their fancy corrugated tubing, precision steel blade, one-piece plates and braces, and aluminum bronze finish, cost $10 to $15 instead of $1 or $2 for clamp-on skates. Johnson soon left Armstrong Brothers; by 1908, he’d acquired a new, dedicated manufacturing space for himself at 1237 N. California Ave. Nestor’s small factory was still a catch-all for bicycle repair, skate making and other miscellaneous jobs, but in 1912, the Nestor Johnson Manufacturing Company was incorporated as a skate business, starting with just $10,000 in capital. In an industry-rattling move, Nestor’s brother Alfred K. Johnson and two other Nestor Johnson Manufacturing Co. executives departed the company to organize a competing company, the Alfred Johnson Skate Company, which built its 27,000 square-foot headquarters at N. Francisco and W. North avenues in 1918. Following Nestor’s retirement, James Clark, his successor, relocated the business to a massive new headquarters at 1900 N. Springfield Ave.
To further legitimize Johnson skates with the hockey players, the company eventually acquired the Chicago Blackhawks sponsorship. With celebrity endorsements proving increasingly popular, he made an even bigger splash made in the women’s figure skating market, as Nestor Johnson became the official skate of Olympic superstar Sonja Henie.
Nestor George Johnson died in 1949 at the age of 82. A year later, his brother’s once thriving firm, the Alfred Johnson Skate Co., went bankrupt and closed its plant for good. Like many old-school companies dealing with automation, the plastic revolution and cheaper imported goods, the Nestor Johnson Company decided to diversify in the 1950s. President Austin N. Clark, son of the late James Clark, encouraged designers to work on other types of sporting goods, but on any other random marketable concept that might help the company increase revenue. The big winner, surprisingly, was a small invention that applied for a patent in 1950: the Nestor Johnson Card Shuffler. In the early 1970s, Nestor Johnson was purchased by Servotronics, Inc. The company remained in Chicago after the sale at the N. Springfield Avenue plant with a reduced staff. Servotronics signed a deal with Blackhawks legend Bobby Hull to have his own official Nestor Johnson hockey skate. Unfortunately, Hull had just left Chicago after 15 years to play for the Winnipeg Jets in the World Hockey Association.
On February 1, 1977, a public auction was held at company headquarters in Humboldt Park. Roughly $750,000 worth of remaining skates, hockey gear, machinery and equipment were sold at bargain prices. The closed factory found a few more occupants but fell into complete disrepair by the end of the century. It was demolished in 2005, replaced by new apartment buildings.

Originally a coal-fired facility, it is being changed from steam turbines and boilers to electric motors, a project begun in 2013. As part of the conversion, three buildings – including a chlorine plant – were demolished.

LAREDO, Texas – Laredo Sector Border Patrol agents assist the Laredo Police Department with a distress call from a stash house in Laredo. Laredo Police officers and Border Patrol agents acted on information on Feb. 20, and rescued several individuals found inside a stash house located on Springfield Avenue. The event unfolded after LPD received a call from a woman stating that she was being held against her will alongside a large group people. Police officers arrived at the suspected stash house and conducted a welfare check together with Border Patrol agents. A total of 37 individuals were discovered inside the house. All were found to be illegally present in the United States and from the countries of Mexico and Guatemala. The individuals were taken into Border Patrol custody to be processed accordingly.

On May 27, 2002, a rare treat has arrived in Springfield in the form of two CN GP9Rs, handling the CN/IC's local job from Clinton. The local is using the old pass to run around a cut of cars in what's left of IC's Springfield Avenue Yard before they head back to Clinton. I think I was standing on a pile of ties to get this shot. I only photographed CN GP9Rs in Springfield a handful of times, making this a very rare photo.
Stephen McKeag (1 April 1970 - 24 September 2000), also known as "Topgun", was an Ulster loyalist paramilitary who became one of the most notorious figures within the Ulster Defence Association's (UDA) 'C' Company in the 1990s.
McKeag first became involved in 'C' Company of the lower Shankill, the leading section of the UDA, in around 1989, heading up his own section of the company which was a hit squad (other sections concentrating on drug-dealing, money laundering and similar activities).[2] According to Henry McDonald and Jim Cusack, the UDA gave an annual "Volunteer of the Year" award to the organisation's top hitman. The award, presented on the Shankill Road and usually consisting of a trophy in the form of a model gun and plaque made by loyalists prisoners, was dominated by McKeag from 1990 onwards and helped to ensure that he became known as "Top Gun" both to his UDA comrades and his republican opponents.[5] In all, the RUC estimated that McKeag was responsible for at least 12 killings, although the figure was placed higher by a number of his former paramilitary associates.[5]
One of McKeag's earliest attacks occurred on 11 March 1990 when he shot and killed Eamon Quinn outside his Kashmir Road home in the Clonard district of the Falls Road, beginning a long campaign of sectarian killings by the UDA. On 31 July he was behind a similar attack on the Springfield Road, where Catholic John Judge was killed after being shot five times by McKeag and his unit. This was followed on 16 October by the killing of Dermot McGuinness in Rosapena Street in north Belfast.[8] Another victim was Seamus Sullivan, the son of former Belfast City Council member Jim Sullivan of the Workers' Party, killed on 4 September 1991 at the council depot on Springfield Avenue where he worked. Lawrence Murchan, a shopkeeper who was killed by McKeag and his unit on St James's Road on 28 September was the 2000th person to be killed during The Troubles. This was followed on 14 November by an attack on the Devenish Arms in Finaghy, resulting in the death of civil servant Aidan Wallace and the loss of an eye for an 8 year old boy.
Following his killing of Catholic shop worker Philomena Hanna at a chemists near the Springfield Road on 28 April 1992, eyewitnesses reported that as McKeag and his driver sped back to the Shankill via Lanark Way they shouted and sang his favourite song, 'Follow the Yellow Brick Road' from The Wizard of Oz. Other UDA members later confirmed that the Yellow Brick Road was McKeag's nickname for Lanark Way, a street linking the Shankill and Springfield roads and favoured by loyalist hitmen as an escape route from republican west Belfast. An attack on 14 November 1992, launched by McKeag, under the orders of Johnny Adair, on a branch of Sean Graham's bookmakers on the Oldpark Road left three Catholics dead and a number of others, including some Protestants who also frequented the betting shop, injured.
As well as civilian Catholics, McKeag was also involved on attacks upon republicans. On 1 May 1993 Alan Lundy, a former Provisional IRA activist, was killed by McKeag in the Ardoyne area. McKeag struck again on 8 August 1993, killing Sean Lavery at the Antrim Road home of his father Bobby Lavery, a Sinn Féin councillor who had been the target of the attack.[17] However non-republicans continued to be targets and on 30 August he killed Marie Teresa Dowds de Mogollon in an attack on her home, although this murder was seen as extreme by UDA brigadiers outside C Company, resulting in it eventually being claimed as an accident when it was claimed under the UDA's Ulster Freedom Fighters cover name. This was followed on 7 September 1993 when McKeag and two other UDA members entered a hairdresser's shop on the upper Donegall Road and shot the proprietor Sean Hughes dead. Although brought to trial he was not convicted after eyewitness testimony did not stand up to scrutiny. The following day shopkeeper Michael Edwards was killed at his Finaghy home by McKeag and his unit[20] and on 15 October McKeag killed Paddy McMahon after calling for him to deliver a pizza to a derelict house. McKeag was held in prison soon after this attack for the Hughes trial and the mantle of top hitman in C Company temporarily passed to Gary "Smickers" Smyth.
Following the killing of Loyalist Volunteer Force (LVF) leader Billy Wright by the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) inside the Maze Prison in December 1997, Adair, who was a strong admirer of "King Rat", told McKeag that he had carte blanche to avenge the murder. McKeag did so on 28 December when he entered the Clifton Tavern in north Belfast and opened fire with an uzi, killing Edmund Trainor and injuring a number of others. On 23 January 1998 he was also involved in the killing of Liam Conway on north Belfast's Hesketh Road although McKeag was brought before the Inner Council of the UDA for this attack as the movement had declared a ceasefire a few hours earlier. McKeag claimed that the attack was in response to the continuing activity of the INLA, and his fearsome reputation meant that the Inner Council would not reprimand him, even though the murder resulted in the Ulster Democratic Party being excluded from all-party talks. By this time McKeag was effectively in command of C Company whilst Adair was in prison.
McKeag was found dead by family members at his home at Florence Court off the Crumlin Road on 24 September 2000. With his face heavily bruised and a crossbow bolt embedded into the wall nearby, it was initially assumed that he had been killed; although a post-mortem revealed his death was caused by a lethal combination of painkillers and cocaine.
This is a photograph from the Rathfarnham 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which took place in Rathfarnham, Co. Dublin, Ireland on Sunday 28th September 2013 at 10:00. This is one of the most popular runs in South County Dublin and is held in support of St. Luke's Cancer Hospital, Rathgar. This year's race attracted over 1,300 participants and the run is open to runners, joggers and walkers. The course is one of the fastest 5ks in the country with a downhill start and finish. This is an excellently organised race with marhsalling at every junction and Garda enforced road closures for the duration of the race. This race was held on a beautiful autumn morning. There was little or no breeze and there was mild temperatures of around 15C for the race.
This is a photograph which is part of a large set of photographs taken at the 1KM and 4KM mark on the course. The entire set of photographs can be found here on our Flickr profile at the following link: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157647710188747/

The race starts at the easterly side of the N81 Tempelogue Road and Springfield Avenue. The start area is shown here on Google StreetView (goo.gl/maps/kg7FY). The race follows Springfield Avenue along the side of Bushy Park. The race overlaps the final kilometer and the finish as it proceeds to the Rathfarnham Road (Shown here Google Streetview goo.gl/maps/gRrI6). The route heads north on Rathfarnham road as there is a very gentle incline until the junction with the Temleogue Road is reached and runners make a sharp left turn onto the N81 (shown here Google StreetView goo.gl/maps/51S2t). The race then heads south along Templeogue Road where the runners can see the course unfold straight infront of them. The race turns left at Springfield Avenue again (start area) and the final Kilometer is as the first to the finish area (Google Streetview goo.gl/maps/1R08S) just before the Rathfarnham Road Junction. Overall this course is a flat and fast course. There is a net gain of 15M over the whole course with slightly downhill gradients at the start and towards the finish. The course is completely left-handed which makes for favourable conditions. All being equal the course provides an excellent opportunity for every from elite competitors to joggers to set a fast time for themselves.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!

This is a photograph from the Rathfarnham 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which took place in Rathfarnham, Co. Dublin, Ireland on Sunday 28th September 2013 at 10:00. This is one of the most popular runs in South County Dublin and is held in support of St. Luke's Cancer Hospital, Rathgar. This year's race attracted over 1,300 participants and the run is open to runners, joggers and walkers. The course is one of the fastest 5ks in the country with a downhill start and finish. This is an excellently organised race with marhsalling at every junction and Garda enforced road closures for the duration of the race. This race was held on a beautiful autumn morning. There was little or no breeze and there was mild temperatures of around 15C for the race.
This is a photograph which is part of a large set of photographs taken at the 1KM and 4KM mark on the course. The entire set of photographs can be found here on our Flickr profile at the following link: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157647710188747/
Timing and event management was provided by Precision Timing. Results are available on their website at www.precisiontiming.net/result.aspx?v=2100 with additional material available on their Facebook page (www.facebook.com/davidprecisiontiming?fref=ts) See their promotional video on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-7_TUVwJ6Q
The race starts at the easterly side of the N81 Tempelogue Road and Springfield Avenue. The start area is shown here on Google StreetView (goo.gl/maps/kg7FY). The race follows Springfield Avenue along the side of Bushy Park. The race overlaps the final kilometer and the finish as it proceeds to the Rathfarnham Road (Shown here Google Streetview goo.gl/maps/gRrI6). The route heads north on Rathfarnham road as there is a very gentle incline until the junction with the Temleogue Road is reached and runners make a sharp left turn onto the N81 (shown here Google StreetView goo.gl/maps/51S2t). The race then heads south along Templeogue Road where the runners can see the course unfold straight infront of them. The race turns left at Springfield Avenue again (start area) and the final Kilometer is as the first to the finish area (Google Streetview goo.gl/maps/1R08S) just before the Rathfarnham Road Junction. Overall this course is a flat and fast course. There is a net gain of 15M over the whole course with slightly downhill gradients at the start and towards the finish. The course is completely left-handed which makes for favourable conditions. All being equal the course provides an excellent opportunity for every from elite competitors to joggers to set a fast time for themselves.
