Found these beauties that have seen better days early in the morning while out on the road in Texas.
Five-unit sets of FTs were the standard road power through Lubbock, Texas, in the mid-1960s. FTA 159 heads a typical A-B-B-B-A set at the east end of Lubbock's Upper Yard on January 9, 1964. Photo by Joe McMillan. Lubbock was on Santa Fe's Texas main line between Clovis, New Mexico, and Dallas/Houston.

Thought all of you in the deep south blizzard could use some extra heat...
I’m not a native Texan, but anyway, here goes:
Texas Chili
No Beano
2 dried ancho chilies
2 dried guajillo chilies
2 chipotle chilies in adobo sauce
1 tbsp Mexene chili powder
6 cloves fresh garlic
1/2 cup beef stock
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp brown sugar
4 Strips thick cut bacon
1 1/2 pounds boneless beef short ribs cut into 1” cubes
Kosher salt/ground black pepper
1 red onion - fine dice
1 sweet onion - fine dice
1/2 red bell pepper - roasted, peeled, fine dice
12 oz Texas beer
1 tbsp ground cumin
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 bay leaves
2 Roma tomatoes (canned) hand crushed
Toast the ancho and guajillo chilies in a dry skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes until fragrant and lightly smoking. Pour enough boiling water to submerge chilies in a covered bowl and steep for 30 minutes. Drain completely.
Place rehydrated chilies, chipotle, chili powder, garlic, beef stock, vinegar and brown sugar in blender and puree thoroughly.
Season beef cubes well with salt and pepper. Cut the bacon into 1/2” lardons and render over low heat in cast iron Dutch oven. Remove and reserve the cooked bacon. Sear the beef cubes in batches in the bacon fat. Once all beef has been seared, remove and reserve. Sauté onions in the same pot until softened and translucent. Add the bell pepper and continue to cook. Return the beef and bacon back to the pot. Reduce heat to low.
Add the chili paste mixture to the pot
Add all remaining ingredients and simmer on low for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Do not add any beans lest you be shunned and scorned.
Former mid-1960s Phillips 66 pier style, batwing service station. Now Los Gomez Restaurant.
“In 1960, Phillips 66 introduced what arguably became its most popular and iconic service station design, which featured a large, upward-slanting, triangular-shaped canopy. Clarence Reinhardt, an architect who worked at Phillips and designed most of the company’s buildings, developed this distinctive design, inspired by designs he observed in Southern California.”

I believe this was a feed store in its past life. You can see the old climbing rungs/steps on the telephone pole.
Missouri Pacific and Katy RR Freight Depot. Built in 1904. I believe it's officially called the Galveston,Houston, & Henderson Freight Depot...or GH&H Freight Depot. Galveston, Texas 5.27.2012
“Everything is bigger in Texas” is what they say and Big Bend National Park is no exception. Over 1,250 square miles of mountains, rivers and desert right on the border of Mexico. The only park with a complete mountain range within it borders along with artifacts estimated to be over 9,000 years old. This particular evening in mid-March I’m pretty sure I used up all of my sunset luck for the year on this bomb. Definitely the biggest, most colorful sunset I’ve ever witnessed. Up at 6,850 feet at the end of the Lost Mines trail. This was my first visit to Big Bend and thanks to my buddy Jeff Moore, we arrived at this location at the right time.
This is a pano stitched from 6 shots.
Some gasolines advised "See America" on their maps, this station lets you see America right though their (missing) back wall.
The Wood Duck (Aix sponsa) is a flamboyant and colorful species of North American waterfowl. Wood Ducks feed by dabbling and they are strong fliers and can reach speeds of 30 mph. They are one of only a few ducks that have claws on their feet, allowing them to perch and nest in trees. They tend to build their nests within one mile of a lake shore, river bank, or other body of water. Egg-dumping, or intraspecific brood parasitism is common in Wood Ducks—females visit other Wood Duck cavities, lay eggs in them, and leave them to be raised by the other female. This may have been made more common by the abundance of artificial nest boxes.
Individual females typically lay 10-11 eggs per clutch, but some very full nests have been found containing 29 eggs, the result of egg-dumping. This beautiful male Wood Duck image was captured at White Rock Lake in Dallas, Texas.

Tenaha,Texas...founded in 1885 as a shipping point on the Houston,East and West Texas Railway in Shelby County. On U.S. 59. I believe the "open space" is now used for weddings and other events. 6.16.2012
This beauty shows up at the same time as the bluebonnets. The two colorful wildflowers make road trips in Texas in Spring spectacular.
