BR Standard 5 No. 73082 "Camelot" sits waiting the right away, its driver chatting to the guard, whilst Standard 4 Tank 80151 is posed as arriving in platform 3 with its local service.
Another new and interesting exhibit. This Standard Atlas was apparently found in a lockup, having been stored for years. Someone appears to have been in the early stages of turning it into a camper van; work which looks to have stalled many years ago! The museum decided to put this on display in 'as found' condition, aside from a clean. Unfortunately the DVLA record doesn't tell us when it was last taxed, which is a shame. I think we can assume it was quite some time ago - I'd guess the 1970s.
BR Standard Class 9F 2-10-0 No. 92204 approaches Oxley Sidings with an up goods train on 22nd May 1965.
In March 1960 this locomotive was selected for testing for suitability for operating passenger trains on the Somerset & Dorset line between Bath and Bournemouth. The test proved to be a success and members of the class were used for the remaining three summers of through trains on the line.

SD70 #2578 was part of the last round of locomotives ordered for Conrail in the late 90s. That Conrail blue is bleeding through the battle scars on the nose of this Spartan cab EMD as it's sits tied down on the industrial track in Newport PA on the head end of a loaded rail train.

No one can complain the A55 Expressway along the North Wales coastline at Penmaenmawr isn't well lit!

A pair of CN C40-8s lead train R90183 out of Keenan. The train is swinging north at the wye in Keenan to head toward Iron Junction Minnesota.
Though the standard power for years on the Northern Minnesota Iron Range has been EMD products, in my visit in June of 2018 the standard was starting to change to GE. At the forefront of the change in power from EMD to GE are the C40-8s. Though older EMD power still has a foothold it's no where near what it once was.

London Transport Piccadilly Line 'Standard Stock' at Northfields depot, on a bright sunny day in around 1958. Other stock in view includes one train of 1938 Stock, and some District Line Q and R Stock, together with what appears to be one set of 1956 Stock on the right. The depot had been built to accommodate 'surface' stock, and was occasionally visited by LT Panniers..
Today (2023) the red and silver stock has all gone, but the depot looks much the same, although there is now a substantial security fence on the left, on the boundary with the main Piccadilly Line tracks.

With the Santa Susana Mountains towering over the Oxnard Plain in the distance, Union Pacific 1105 looks super sharp as the still very clean Jenks Rebuilt GP60E rests next to cut cut of loaded Autoracks from the Port of Hueneme. The racks will get picked up by the southbound Guadalupe Hauler to eventually head east via West Colton. Union Pacific 1105 originally started out as Saint Louis Southwestern (Cotton Belt) GP60 9648 back in September of 1989.

Notice anything unusual about these Rooks? In all my years of bird watching I don't recall seeing Rooks feed on blanket bogs before, yet there were a number of them obviously feeding. They are typically a bird of farmland, and where I live in the Pennines I never see them feeding on the moors, yet they are often on the nearby farmland, both grassland and arable. If you look at the distribution map they are pretty much everywhere, but peter out in the highlands and islands of Scotland: app.bto.org/mapstore/StoreServlet?id=454 Though they are found throughout Ireland so they may feed on bogs there. This was taken at the south-west of Mull, which looks like the only area where they breed in that area. The nesting rookery was on Iona but I regularly saw Rooks flying back and forth across the channel of water that separates Mull from Iona. So what were they feeding on? Earthworms are a favourite food but you don't get them in acid bogs (which is why you don't see mole hills on peat). But they also feed on Cranefly larvae, or leatherjackets which are abundant in bogs, and are the staple diet for many bog-nesting waders like Dunlin and Curlew. Though the scientific name of Rook (Corvus frugilegus) means fruit-eating crow. Maybe the hot weather is May had made the farmland hard and wormless, which forced them onto the wetter bog where they'd still be able to probe for food. The white fluffy things by the way, are the heads of Hare's-tail Cotton-grass, which only grows in acidic bogs, which is how I identified this as a bog.
Bog Standard is a funny expression but I thought it fitted this photograph. It means utterly ordinary or basic, usually in a slightly derogatory way, but why "bog"? Well there seems to be no definitive answer but it may be a corruption of box standard. Apparently in the 1930s Meccano had two versions of its construction toys; Box-standard and Box-deluxe, so box standard was a thing.
This is one of a few standard powerline construction types of Xcel Energy, the company that serves Sioux Falls and surrounding areas.

After running about for months without a front fleetname, artic 10138 now has the First logo applied as per the new livery.
This will be the closest it gets to the new livery with withdrawal likely in 2015. 10144 on King Street on driver familiarisation.
Regular visitors to Statford-upon-Avon from Stagecoach in Warwickshire's Leamington depot in the early teens were a trio of Northern Counties Palatine-bodied Volvo Olympians, 16598-600 (N518-20 XER), and for which I had a bit of a soft spot.
Whist Stagecoach operated large numbers of Palatine-bodied Olympians, these were not to the Group's standard because they were the last vehicles delivered new to management-owned Cambus in August 2005, before selling their business the following December.
They were a combination of shorter Olympian chassis and the lower Palatine bodywork, instantly recognisable by the more squat windscreen arrangement.
I caught up with 16599 emerging from Wood Street in Stratford in June 2012, looking rather unloved for a seven year old vehicle.

"Nine Standards Rigg takes its name from the line of cairns which stand on the edge of the escarpment just north of the summit. The origin of the nine “stone men” or columnar cairns on the summit, is a mystery, and some of the cairns, which are about 10 feet tall, are now in a perilous state. According to Wainwright, whose Coast to Coast route crosses the fell, they are very ancient and are marked on 18th century maps. One theory is that they were constructed by the Roman army to look like troops from a distance."
