Translohr is a Light Rail system manufactured by Lohr Industrie of France. It is used in Clermont-Ferrand, Tianjin, Padua and in the mainland Mestre district of Venice in Italy.Translohr differs from other light rail systems in that it runs on rubber tires and is guided by a single central rail, and is commonly referred to as a guided bus system.

The Translohr system is intended to provide a much more tram-like experience than that provided by guided bus systems. Unlike guided bus systems(including the similar but incompatible Guided Light Transit system developed by Bombardier Transportation), Translohr can run only where there is a guide rail in place as there are no steering controls. Like a conventional tram, power is provided by overhead wires and collected with a pantograph, although the vehicle can also run on internal batteries (arranged in packs) on sections of the route where overhead wires are deemed to be undesirable. Because Translohr LRVs cannot run without a guide rail they are not classified as a type of bus.

Everybody's favourite illuminated tramcar is the first to be running Illuminations tours tonight but here at the Pleasure Beach is on its second tour of the night.

Originally 1936-built English Electric Railcoach 290, the loco of the ABC Weekend Television Western Train tram looks nothing like it did when brand new! Having had what you might call a heavy refurbishment, 733 was completely rebuilt into an illuminated feature tramcar, the front half of a twin-car designed to look like an American 'wild west' train. The set was withdrawn in 1999 due to serious structural problems, but following a grant from the lottery heritage fund it was overhauled and went back into service - and is now as popular as ever. Part of the works undertaken also saw this tram become the first dedicated heritage tram to have purpose-built facilities to accommodate a passenger in a wheelchair - there is a double door which forms half of the second illuminated 'wheel', and just before the painted-on fake door, which is opened to reveal a wheelchair lift.

Originally 1928-built Dick Kerr Pantograph Car 174 (when new called a 'Pullman' car), the trailer of the ABC Weekend Television illuminated western train still retains the classic look of the Pantograph car it once was - though in my opinion it has been enhanced by creating open viewing platforms at either end by removing the original glazing on what once were the driving cabs. It no longer has a trolley tower or trolleypole as these are not required due to it being permanently coupled to 733, but it does retain steering controls at the back - though these have been offset to one side so that extra seating could be fitted; the controls at this back end are only used at the end of the illuminations tours for the night when the tram is being driven empty in reverse formation back to the depot.

A steering wheel is a type of steering control used in most modern land vehicles, including all mass-production automobiles. The steering wheel is the part of the steering system that is manipulated by the driver; the rest of the steering system responds to the movements of the steering wheel. This can be through direct mechanical contact in rack and pinion steering, with the assistance of hydraulics in power steering, or in some concept cars and modern production cars such as the Toyota Prius entirely through computer control. To prevent motor vehicle theft, most steering wheels are locked if the ignition key is taken out of the ignition lock.

The first automobiles were steered with a tiller, but Packard introduced the steering wheel on the second car they built, in 1899. Within a decade, the steering wheel had entirely replaced the tiller in automobiles.

The Tugboat Coho downbound near Newburgh, NY on the Hudson River pushing a petroleum barge loaded with Dakota Crude from Albany, NY

Built in 2008, by Thoma-Sea Boat Builders of Lockport, Louisiana (hull #108) as the Coho for Penn Maritime of Stamford, Connecticut.

She was the second of five identical FIN Class units designed for Penn Maritime by Frank Basile of Entech Associates of Houma, Louisiana.

She is fitted with a JAK 400 coupler system, and married to a 414(ft) 90,000 bbl double hulled barge the Penn No. 92. Which was built in 2008 by Corn Island Shipyard of Lamar, Louisiana.

Her raised aluminum tower and wheelhouse features a eye level of 51(ft). The wheelhouse also features include two sets of engine gauges and multiple sets of EMI engine controls, with overhead chart and data displays. With RexRoth steering controls, and Furuno radars and radios. As well as equipped with a full set of aft controls.

On her stern, she is fitted with an "H" bitt, built by Thoma Sea, and a capstan, manufactured by JonRie InterTech, of New Jersey. She is also rigged for emergency towing; on the stern is a towing hawser and chain rigged to the "H" bitt in the case of an emergency.

She is powered by a pair of 2,000 horsepower, 60 liter, V-16 Cummins QSK-60 engines turning Reintjes gears that are shafted to 104(in) with skewed propellers mounted in NautiCan nozzles with shutter rudders turning up to 1,800 rpm for a rated 4,000 horsepower.

Her electrical power is provided by three 99-kW John Deere generator sets.

In 2012, Penn Maritime was acquired by the Kirby Corporation of Channelview, Texas. Where the tug retained her name.

Like a conventional tram, power is provided by overhead wires and collected with a pantograph, although the vehicle can also run on internal batteries (arranged in packs) on sections of the route where overhead wires are deemed to be undesirable. Because Translohr LRVs cannot run without a guide rail they are not classified as a type of bus.

Translohr is a Light Rail system manufactured by Lohr Industrie of France. It is used in Clermont-Ferrand, Tianjin, Padua and in the mainland Mestre district of Venice in Italy.Translohr differs from other light rail systems in that it runs on rubber tires and is guided by a single central rail, and is commonly referred to as a guided bus system.

This self-unloading lake bulk carrier was built by the Bay Shipbuilding Co., Sturgeon Bay, WI and launched March 10, 1973 for the American Steamship Co, Buffalo, NY. as the Charles E. Wilson.

In January 2000 the Wilson was renamed John J. Boland. That year while at Fraser Shipyards in Superior for lay-up crews welded the new name on the vessel. The name change followed the sale of the former John J. Boland to Lower Lakes Towing, Port Dover, ON; now sailing as the Saginaw.

The Boland is powered by twin 3,600 horsepower GM diesel engines giving her a rated service speed of 13 knots. She is equipped with both bow and stern thrusters. Her 22 hatches feed into 6 holds where she is capable of carrying 33,800 tons at her maximum mid-summer draft of 30 feet 7 inches. The stern-mounted self-unloading conveyor system feeds a 250 foot boom that can be swung left or right a maximum of 105 degrees.

The Boland was the first of ten vessels launched (though the second to enter service) for the American Steamship Co. under Title XI of the Merchant Marine Act of 1970 at a cost of $13.7 million. Under this Act, U.S. shipping companies could build or modernize their fleets by receiving guaranteed government financing and tax deferred benefits. The other vessels included in this program were the Roger M. Kyes (now Adam E. Cornelius 4), H. Lee White (2), Sam Laud, St. Clair (2), Belle River (now Walter J. McCarthy Jr.), Buffalo, Indiana Harbor, American Mariner, and American Republic.

During the winter of 1997/98, a new Sperry adaptive digital gyroscope steering control system was installed on the Boland. A vessel with very few mishaps, the John J. Boland remains a very active carrier for the American Steamship Co.

Military operations showed the U.S Army needed a vehicle to move over snow for Commando Operations in Norway. In 1943 the Studebaker M29 Cargo Carrier, better known, as a Weasel was introduced. This was a lightweight vehicle with 15 or 20 inch tracks that was good for travelling over soft snow but had limited carrying capacity.

The original design with the engine at the back was soon altered to the conventional layout with the engine at the front and the drive sprockets at the rear. This gave better distribution of weight and improved space so more cargo or passengers could be carried. Next came an amphibious version with buoyancy chambers, twin rudders coupled to the steering controls and propulsion in the water by the tracks. The standard Weasel could be quickly converted in the field if required and both versions could be dropped by parachute.

Weasel's remained in service with the U.S, British and other countries in to the late 1960's. Not only were they used in Artic Operations in the Second World War but later in Korea and Vietnam. The Museum's example M29 was acquired in 1987 from Norway.

The newest type of solid tramcar in the UK, 642 is a Centenary car built by East Lancs in the 1980's to reduce spiralling operating costs of the tramway by allowing winter services to be operated single-crewed. It retains its early 2000's refurbished condition.

Everybody's favourite illuminated tramcar is out and about in a rare daytime role carrying passengers today.

Originally 1936-built English Electric Railcoach 290, the loco of the ABC Weekend Television Western Train tram looks nothing like it did when brand new! Having had what you might call a heavy refurbishment, 733 was completely rebuilt into an illuminated feature tramcar, the front half of a twin-car designed to look like an American 'wild west' train. The set was withdrawn in 1999 due to serious structural problems, but following a grant from the lottery heritage fund it was overhauled and went back into service - and is now as popular as ever. Part of the works undertaken also saw this tram become the first dedicated heritage tram to have purpose-built facilities to accommodate a passenger in a wheelchair - there is a double door which forms half of the second illuminated 'wheel', and just before the painted-on fake door, which is opened to reveal a wheelchair lift.

Originally 1928-built Dick Kerr Pantograph Car 174 (when new called a 'Pullman' car), the trailer of the ABC Weekend Television illuminated western train still retains the classic look of the Pantograph car it once was - though in my opinion it has been enhanced by creating open viewing platforms at either end by removing the original glazing on what once were the driving cabs. It no longer has a trolley tower or trolleypole as these are not required due to it being permanently coupled to 733, but it does retain steering controls at the back - though these have been offset to one side so that extra seating could be fitted; the controls at this back end are only used at the end of the illuminations tours for the night when the tram is being driven empty in reverse formation back to the depot.
