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.

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.
when quality mattered...every dial, every gauge, every switch, every flange, every bracket, every screw, without exception, it all mattered, nothing less than perfection!
Claude M. Cox's original Overland car was developed in the early 1900s by the Standard Wheel Company of Terre Haut, Indiana. The Overland Company was formed in 1903 by Mr. Cox and Charles Minshall but it didn't take off until John North Willys arrived in 1907. Mr. Willys was a New York auto dealer and a major Overland customer. He ordered 500 Overlands and paid a deposit of $10,000. After his product was not delivered, he traveled to Indiana only to find Overland on the point of closure. Wanting to recoup his investment, Willys secured additional credit and reorganized the company. By mid-1908 they were in a position to build a new factory. Production increased and by 1909 the company had moved to Toledo, Ohio. Willys eventually became president of the company.
From 1910 to 1914, the company produced only four-cylinder models and they were all right-hand drive. (The company began using left-hand drive in 1915). In 1914, Overland was the second-largest producer of cars in the US, behind only Ford. While the Model T appealed to the masses, the Overland was an upmarket model selling for approximately twice the cost of a T. The Overland was more spacious, more powerful, and larger than the FOrd and its four-cylinder engine had separately cast cylinder jugs. An electric starter was available as a $125 option in 1914.
Overland built a quality automobile that was advanced for its time. The early models had a removable ignition plug that prevents auto theft.
During the 1920s, Willys-Overland produced the Willys Knight, which was powered by the sleeve valve engine designed by Indiana native Charles Knight. During World War II, Willys produced the Jeep. Several modern Jeep models pay homage to their Overland roots with the name of their top models wearing the 'Overland' nameplate.

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.

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.

BR Standard class 2 2-6-0 nos. 78019 & 78018 catch the afternoon sun as they pass Woodthorpe heading 1A26, the 13.15 departure from Loughborough Central to Leicester North, during the GCR 'Last Hurrah' steam Gala.
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.

A1x Class locomotive no.32678 seen here with a rake of vintage coaches, waiting at Tenterden railway station.
32678 is an A1x 'Terrier' Class 0-6-0 standard gauge steam locomotive. Built by the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway, it first entered service on the 23rd July 1880.
Between then and 1923 and the formation of the Southern Railway, the loco had already run almost a million miles!
Now owned by the Terrier Trust, the loco operates on the Kent & East Sussex Railway but is currently undergoing restoration.
