Doug Harrop Photography • May 27, 1976
Mr. Harrop was a big fan of streamlined locomotives, in particular EMD F-units. He made several trips to northern Montana to capture BN's remaining active cab units in helper service over Marias Pass.
Doug was fortunate to catch this power set, added to the point of Burlington Northern train No. 172. BN F9A 808 and company are eastbound along the Middle Fork Flathead River east of Belton (West Glacier), Montana. US Highway 2 is in the background.
A yardang is a streamlined protuberance carved from bedrock or any consolidated or semiconsolidated material by the dual action of wind abrasion by dust and sand, and deflation which is the removal of loose material by wind turbulence. Yardangs become elongated features typically three or more times longer than wide, and when viewed from above, resemble the hull of a boat. Facing the wind is a steep, blunt face that gradually gets lower and narrower toward the lee end.[2] Yardangs are formed by wind erosion, typically of an originally flat surface formed from areas of harder and softer material. The soft material is eroded and removed by the wind, and the harder material remains. The resulting pattern of yardangs is therefore a combination of the original rock distribution, and the fluid mechanics of the air flow and resulting pattern of erosion.
Streamlined E9A No. 2400, originally CB&Q 9991, powers a Tully-bound OnTrack fall foliage excursion, approaching the Apulia Road crossing near the hamlet of Apulia Station (and summit of the grade coming up from Syracuse) on 8 October 1995.

Chesapeake & Ohio 4-6-4 No. 490 rests on indoor display at the B&O Railroad Museum. 490 was built by ALCO in 1926 as a 4-6-2. It was converted to a 4-6-4 and streamlined in 1947, shortly before C&O began curtailing passenger operations. It would serve for only six more years before being retired in 1953. 490 has the distinction of being the last C&O steam locomotive to haul a scheduled passenger train. It was thankfully stored by the C&O in Huntington, WV for many years before being donated to the museum in 1968.

The African penguin (Spheniscus demersus), also known as the jackass penguin and black-footed penguin, is a species of penguin, confined to southern African waters. Like all extant penguins it is flightless, with a streamlined body, and wings stiffened and flattened into flippers for a marine habitat.
Adults weigh on average 2.2–3.5 kg (4.9–7.7 lb) and are 60–70 cm (24–28 in) tall.
The pink gland above their eyes helps them to cope with changing temperatures. When the temperature gets hotter, the body of the African penguin sends more blood to these glands to be cooled by the air surrounding it. This then causes the gland to turn a darker shade of pink.
The African penguin is a pursuit diver and feeds primarily on fish and squid. Once extremely numerous, the African penguin is declining rapidly due to a combination of several threats and is classified as endangered.
The African penguin is only found on the south-western coast of Africa, living in colonies on 24 islands between Namibia and Algoa Bay, near Port Elizabeth, South Africa. It is the only penguin species that breeds in Africa.
Two colonies were established by penguins in the 1980s on the mainland near Cape Town, namely Boulders Beach near Simon's Town and Stony Point in Betty's Bay. Mainland colonies probably only became possible in recent times due to the reduction of predator numbers, although the Betty's Bay colony has been attacked by leopards. - Wikipedia

Common Merganser
Common Mergansers are streamlined ducks that float gracefully down small rivers or shallow shorelines. The males are striking with clean white bodies, dark green heads, and a slender, serrated red bill. The elegant, gray-bodied females have rich, cinnamon heads with a short crest. In summer, look for them leading ducklings from eddy to eddy along streams or standing on a flat rock in the middle of the current. These large ducks’ nest in hollow trees; in winter they form flocks on larger bodies of water.

The streamlined goosander is a handsome bird and a great fisher - its long, serrated bill helps it to catch and hold its slippery fish prey. It nests in riverbank trees, but can be seen on lakes and reservoirs in winter.

While a streamlined Alco FPA4 pulled the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad train south into Akron, a mundane LTEX GP15-1 pulled the charge north into Rockside.
We stopped to tour the NPS Boston Mill Visitors Center when LTEX 1443 pulled through the small Ohio town on March 29, 2025.
A sight straight out of the 1950s, A 1940 Graham automobile waits for a passing train with a modern streamlined steam engine to pass by. In reality, it’s 2021 and thanks to NCTM/VMT and a generous car owner, scenes like this are still possible decades later.
The streamlined dream like clinker built oak of The Skidbladner calls out to those that can pack their sea chest as a seat from which to person the oars on an imaginary journey and hopefully the visitors will have notions of goods in their sea chest to trade and room there also to bring back their hard won treasures? This now land bound longboat affords a great prospect to experience Viking visions. The replica of the archaeological recovered Gokstad ship now sits next to a reproduction longhouse and both have room enough to house your imagination and also to inspire your dreams.

S303 and T357 on hire from the Seymour Rail Heritage Centre, work the 60th Anniversary special of the Southern Aurora through Glenfield as 6L61 to Melbourne.
Following substantial amounts of rain across NSW, the Southern Highlands were no exception, with Picton experiencing landslides in the rail corridor. While the Main South is currently open for traffic, the Picton-Mittagong loop line, which is home to the NSW Rail Museum is currently cut off from the rest of the world while embankment remedy work is carried out on the branch line connection. During this period, nothing can get in or out of Thirlmere, hence the hired ex-Victorian Railway's units. Thankfully the Southern Aurora consist had left Thirlmere prior to the incliment weather, however it has had to be housed elsewhere in the meantime.

Red Breasted Merganser
The streamlined red-breasted merganser is a handsome bird and a great fisher - its long, serrated bill helps it to catch and hold its slippery fish prey. It is most commonly spotted around the coast in winter.
The red-breasted merganser is a medium-sized duck and a member of a group called the 'sawbills' because of their long, narrow bills with saw-like 'teeth' which are good for gripping fish. A long, streamlined bird, it is perfectly shaped for swimming after fish. red-breasted mergansers are gregarious birds, forming flocks of hundreds in winter.
A streamlined locomotive , built in 1938, one of the most powerful steam locomotives ever to run on Britain's railways. It regurarly ran at speeds in excess of 90 mph / 145 km ph, pulling Anglo-Scottish expresses on the West Coast main line.
The fireman had to feed at least 1 ton of coal into its firebox every hour, that meant shifting at least 6 tons of coal on an average journey. Duchess of Hamilton was withdrawn from service in 1964, currently in National Railway Museum, York.

The Skidbladner
The emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) is the tallest and heaviest of all living penguin species and is endemic to Antarctica. The male and female are similar in plumage and size, reaching 122 cm in height and weighing from 22 to 45 kg. Feathers of the head and back are black and sharply delineated from the white belly, pale-yellow breast and bright-yellow ear patches. Like all penguins it is flightless, with a streamlined body, and wings stiffened and flattened into flippers for a marine habitat. Its diet consists primarily of fish, but also includes crustaceans, such as krill, and cephalopods, such as squid. While hunting, the species can remain submerged around 20 minutes, diving to a depth of 535 m. It has several adaptations to facilitate this, including an unusually structured haemoglobin to allow it to function at low oxygen levels, solid bones to reduce barotrauma, and the ability to reduce its metabolism and shut down non-essential organ functions. The only penguin species that breeds during the Antarctic winter, emperor penguins trek 50–120 km over the ice to breeding colonies which can contain up to several thousand individuals. 1921
The southern royal albatross or toroa, (Diomedea epomophora) is a large seabird from the albatross family. It has the third largest wingspan of living birds. At an average wingspan of above 3 m (9.8 ft), it is one of the two largest species of albatross, together with the wandering albatross. Recent studies indicate that the southern royal albatross may, on average, be somewhat larger than the wandering albatross in mass and have a similar wingspan, although other sources indicate roughly similar size for the two species and the wandering species may have a larger average (and maximum) wingspan in some colonies.
Most of the royal albatross population is found between 30° S and 45° S. The majority of the world's population of southern royal albatrosses nest on the rat-free subantarctic Campbell Island, around 8,200 to 8,600 pairs. There are smaller colonies on Adams Island and Auckland Island in the Auckland Islands, 20 pairs combined, and 69 pairs on Enderby Island and some sanfordi × epomophora hybrids at the northern royal albatross colony on the Otago Peninsula in New Zealand. They range along the southern oceans concentrating on the west and east coast of southern South America, and also in the waters surrounding New Zealand. R_28387
