The Other Side of Town (a photo series)
This photo shows the ghosted remnants of the Standard Oil Company logo clinging to this weathered facade on East Nevada Street in Marshalltown, Iowa. The grand old building stands as a silent eulogy to an era of unbridled Midwestern industrial dominance. However, decades of harsh Iowa weather have slowly bleached away the corporate emblem, transforming a once-ubiquitous mark of economic certainty into a faint, bleeding artifact of the past. Now abandoned, it is a portrait of corporate transience, with the vanishing emblem serving as a powerful visual metaphor for shifting global monopolies and the hollow architecture left in their wake.
About the Project
The Other Side of Town series invites you to closely examine the overlooked- and perhaps even avoided spaces around us. In photographing these scenes, my focus was on the striking tension between these enduring structures and the haunting absence of the people who built, inhabited, and worked within them.
Empty streets, abandoned homes, industrial areas, and neglected structures serve as portraits of culture, mapped through the traces we leave behind. Within these frames, the ordinary and the unsightly acquire an unexpected beauty- revealing powerful visual metaphors for transience, social inequality, and the lingering echo of human presence.
Looking through this series of photos may encourage you to see your own hometown differently. Ultimately, these overlooked surroundings may reveal more about our collective psyche and the unsettled time that we inhabit- maybe more than we realize- or care to admit.

Country: Montenegro
Location: Slijepač Most
Train: IC 1131 "Tara" Beograd - Bar with ŽPCG 461 039
Die 461 039 war die "Standard Lok" für das IC Zugpaar 1130/1131 in den Tagen unseres Besuchs. So hing sie auch an diesem Nachmittag wieder am Zug der aus Serbien kommend vor kurzem in Bijelo Polje seinen ersten Stopp in Montengro verlassen hat.
Er befindet sich gerade auf der 450m langen Ljuboviđa-Brücke, der zweitlängsten Brücke in ganz Montenegro.
Nach einer Verfolgung an Bijelo Polje vorbei fotografierten wir den Zug hier zum zweiten mal. Deshalb wussten wir auch mit wieviel Verspätung wir zu rechnen hatte. Denn auch an diesem Nachmittag traf der Zug nicht pünktlich aus Serbien ein. Mit nur knapp 30min Verspätung hielt sich das aber alles in Grenzen.
Schade war die Garnitur an diesem Nachmittag. Der 2023 nur im Sommer verkehrende IC wird mit einer Garnitur der Serbinschen Staatsbahn und mit einer Garnitur der Montenegrinischen Bahn geführt. Jene der ZGCP ist zumindest auf einer Seite relativ frei von Schmiererein. Das kann man von den Serbischen Wagen nicht behaupten. Es ist eher so, dass man die ursprüngliche Lackierung nur mehr erahnen kann. Jänu ... schön ist das Bild trotzdem :-).
Hinweis. Drohnenbild.

The Standard Ten was a model name given to several small cars produced by the British Standard Motor Company between 1906 and 1961. The name was a reference to the car's fiscal horsepower or tax horsepower, a function of the surface area of the pistons. This 1934 Standard 10, WF 6766, is seen arriving at the Pre-War Prescott event on 11th September 2021.
NS 8817 leads a very late 211 through one of the few secluded areas near metro Atlanta on a brisk September evening.
eastern Standard Time is a favourite by The Skatalites. I went to a rum and reggae night in Cardiff last night, it was great fun. I would have preferred a few more older classics but iot was great to see so many people all enjoying reggae. I'm coming to the end of my adder obsession and now am in the middle of y High brown Fritillary larval obsession. It's going really well I'veseen well over thirty, and good numbers in all the areas we've done management for them. Hopefully it should mean it'llbe a good year for the adults. This was a photo from earlier in the year in changeable weather, which is what we're in a spell of at the moment.
A nice standard-cab consist on this particular afternoon's version of Bloomington-to-Decatur train D36, including SD40E 6329 (ex-CR SD50 6762) and GP60 7108, seen approaching the north end of the siding at Lodge, Illinois. For the time being, the former Wabash searchlights still stand here and a few other places on this, Norfolk Southern's Bloomington District.
6/29/2022 Update: These signals have been removed.
It's always nice to have a standard cab leader, especially on the point of an intermodal. This day's CN X120 heads east towards Montreal through the shadows at Newtonville Rd. near Port Granby, ON.
A pair of SD60's lead priority intermodal train Q148 through the signals at Hardy Road in Brantford.
Gold Standard. Hmmm. I am always suspicious of self promotion. Best Burger in town, best coffee, pizza, poutine in town. These are statements, which I do not put much faith in. I did not try. They may be the best, but sometimes GS is just BS. This store is selling $6 sandwiches. Not expensive for Toronto, but nothing special, nothing I could not make at home.

CN 2124 and CN 2126 lead CN 148 through Copetown West. With CN selling off and scrapping the majority of their C40-8 fleet, getting this pair was a must do.
A triplet of CSX standard cabs, lead by CSX 8881, lead Q507 south past the B&O CPL at Troy, OH. Q507 takes the place of Q511, and makes the run from Detroit Rougemere to Cincinnati Queensgate, with blocks of cars bound for AK Steel.
I took a white rose from a bunch of roses I bought at the weekend and put it in a black ceramic bottle and placed it in front of a standard lamp with a red lampshade.
TRRA took over the provision of power for the Madison-to-Lindenwood Turn from BNSF just a bit too late for the switch back to Central Standard Time, as it does every year about this time. Nevertheless, good results can be had. Here, westbound T201 takes the signal at Grand Blvd in St. Louis, on its way to BNSF.
Seen at the Classic Car & Bike Meet at Towcester Racecourse in Northamptonshire on 14 July 2021 is this 1958 Standard Pennant.
First registered in April 1958.

This was a gift from a Russian friend. I'm not much of a drinker so it's been sitting around for over a year - unopened! But I hear it's best served right out of the freezer with a couple of close buddies ;-)
With the day warming up, but the bluebells behind the train embracing the sunshine, Standard 4, 75078, effortlessly climbs Oakworth bank with the 14.25 ex Keighley
With the coming of the equinox, the Dogwoods are blooming in the spring weather as eastbound NS freight train 18M rumbles out of Huger Tunnel with its usual gaggle of motive power on the point, including the standard cab GE leading on the afternoon of April 25, 2015, near Superior, WV.

The JY local passes over the Hi Line Bridge in Valley City. Figured it would be worth a shot with the longer train this time around.
Eastern Standard Time is a favourite Skatalites track, and as these are the eastern fells of the Lakes it's fine. I was so lucky to get such lovely views. Took me back to all my winter climbs and walks .

A standard cab SD60 approaches North End Morgantown in Bowling Green, Kentucky on CSX Q211. The siding here is being extended to 4 miles long, as a part of the Summer 2016 project for the Mainline Subdivison to be able to handle DPU-trains. Three sidings were extended, Cave City, Morgantown (renamed to Bowling Green), and Mitchellville. Bowling Green was extended to the south end of Memphis Junction Yard, and a new control point was added, Memphis Junction CP. At South End Bowling Green, double crossovers were added.
