Here we take it back to when CP was still running on the original CP1 and CP2 on the Bryn Mawr cutoff. I believe this was the summer before they cut the bridge in. One of CP's many trains heads for Bensenville yard with a CP SD40-2 leading a fakebonnet and NS dash 9's.
Whilst on a wander near Bolderwood one Autumn, these two New Forest ponies came into view, giving a focal point amongst the wonderful colours and shades in this lovely part of the world.
Dusted off from the archives...2003. Still have that top and skirt somewhere in this menagerie, LOL.
Starting to get things dialed in a little around 2001, after quite a few years of hits and misses. This hairstyle was certainly a leap of faith after years of "big hair".
I"ve always appreciated the sight of a beautiful well-dressed woman entering or exiting a vehicle, as evidenced by my many attempts at this spectacle over the years, LOL.

More of the "Designing Women" period, I recall shopping at Penney's and Dillards outlet stores (en drab of course) and finding great deals on mismatched tops, skirts and blazers and trying to turn them into something. These red pumps were the first real leather high heels I ever owned, what a thrill having those arrive at my P.O. Box up in the city. I didn't dare have them shipped to my Rural Route address for the nosy postwoman to ponder over the giant women's shoes being shipped here.

This week we are going back thirty-one years to 1991 and KC 48 at The Square in Tallaght. The bus is dressed for route 76A. This route originally started operating between Blanchardstown and Tallaght just before The Square opened in 1990. It was then extended to the shopping centre in October of that year when it opened, as well as to Blakestown at the northern end. In 1996 it moved to the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre, while the southern terminus was split between Balrothery and Fettercairn for a while. In more recent years it has consistently operated between the shopping centres in Tallaght and Blanchardstown, with Go-Ahead Ireland taking over the operation of the route from Dublin Bus in 2019.
KC 48 was delivered new to CIE in 1983. It was withdrawn from service by Dublin Bus in 2000 and went on to join the Bus Eireann school bus fleet. In 2004 it was acquired for preservation.

One of my 2018 plans was to do something more with my catalog of dog photos from over the years. Part of my answer to that is I will start doing a weekly 'throwback Thursday' post on my Instagram account to go through the previous 52 week projects. Today was the first day where I started with Kael's 2013 project. It will be good to have a weekly revisit of her on Instagram.
Going back eleven years this week to RV 551 at the route 123 terminus in Marino. At this time the route was predominately operated by the single-deck midibuses of the WV Class, although the RV double deckers made occasional appearances on the route. However, that was all about to change when this picture was taken. Behind the RV are two members of the EV Class. They had started to transfer into Summerhill Garage during this week, and within a few days had completely taken over the 123, replacing the WV Class. The EV buses remained on this route until Autumn 2021 when the new hybrid buses of PA Class took over.
Route 123 started in the early 1990s when it started as a City Imp route replacing the former routes 23 and 24. It operated from Marino to Drimnagh via Ballybough and St James's Hospital. In more recent times it has had its southern terminus moved from Drimnagh Road to Kilnamanagh Road.
RV 551 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 1999. It was withdrawn in May 2012 and moved to the United Kingdom where it had a further career with other operators. 05/11/2010
The house where I grew up. In Upstate N.Y. How 'bout that 'new' '57 Chevy station wagon in the garage.
I remembered this week! :P
This is a picture of my first Figbrawl which I did with my brother.
The challenge was "Superhero and Sidekick".
My minifigures were Captain Pajamas and Blanket Boy! :D I thought they were a fun idea, though it's a little hard not to see them as Buzz Lightyear and Incrediboy...
(Also my brother won but that's not important.)
So... Do people do figbrawls around here? That could be fun.
This week we are throwing back thirteen years to 2009 and AV 238 on route 42A to Beaumont Hospital. This route started operating between the city centre and Kinsealy / Malahide in 1926. In 1953 it was cut back to Coolock and soon after to Harmonstown. In the late-1980s it moved terminus to Blunden Drive and finally in 2005 to Beaumont Hospital. The route ceased to be in 2011 under Network Direct changes.
AV 238 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 2002. It was withdrawn in 2016 and sold on to an operator in the UK. This part of Marlborough Street is now the Marlborough tram stop on the Luas Green Line.

It is 2013 and the 41X is a busy little bus route. DT 6 and GT 45 are seen on D'Olier Street, both with a 41X to UCD Belfield. The 41X is one of a number of Xpresso routes operated by Dublin Bus. These routes operate in the peak hours only (mostly) and have limited stops. They are designed to be faster versions of the regular routes that serve the same areas. The one version that sort of goes beyond the peak hour limitation is the 84X to Newcastle. The 41X connects Swords with the City Centre and UCD Belfield. For a lot of its journey to the city centre it uses the M1 and Dublin Port Tunnel. That latter routing caused some controversy earlier this century when private operator Swords Express objected to Dublin Bus using the tunnel, but that was later resolved. In more recent times the 41X has been extended beyond Swords Manor to the new housing development at Knocksedan.
Although GT 45 is still with Dublin Bus, DT 6 was withdrawn in 2017 along with the rest of the Dennis Tridents. 17/01/2013

Had to include an old throwback to no virus bs, no riots, just good weather and action! Not long after I got my new to me lens I shot 337 as it approaches Burlington, IL along its journey West.

Throwback to December of 2019, just a couple weeks (at most) after the CP Veterans units were unveiled. CP 7020 (Army Temperate Regions) leads CP 199 through Brookfield, Wi in a heavy snowfall. I couldn’t edit back then, but now that I’ve figured it out I’ve been able to make this presentable.
This little red dress has been hiding in the back of my closet for a number of years ...thirteen apparently. Below is a shot showing just how long it's been. Try not to laugh too hard at the big hair!
For the 500th Throwback we are going back to 2016 (the year the series started) and to SG 161 in College Green, with a service on route 40 to Liffey Valley.
SG 161 was the first of the 110 members of the 2016 batch of the SG Class. It entered service in May of that year. The first member of the class (SG 1) was delivered new in 2014, and eventually Dublin Bus received 621 SGs in total - though did not have them all at once. In 2018 some of them transferred to Go-Ahead Ireland, but they also received 44 of them brand new, which means a total of 665 Wrights Gemini 3 buses have been delivered for city services in Dublin. The last of these buses were delivered new to Dublin Bus and Go-Ahead Ireland in 2020, and these were also the last pure-diesel buses delivered to Dublin. Following orders have either been hybrids or pure electric.
SG 161 is in the Dublin Bus "fleet standard" livery. This livery was introduced in 2003. However, when Go-Ahead Ireland started operations in 2018, Transport for Ireland introduced a new general livery for all public service obligation buses. However this initial TFI livery was not very well-received, and in 2021 a new green/yellow livery was introduced. by mid-2025 all the Go-Ahead Ireland buses had the new livery, and the vast majority of the Dublin Bus fleet also received the new livery. SG 161 was repainted in late-2024.
SG 161 is seen on route 40 to Liffey Valley shopping centre. Route 40 started running between Finglas and the city centre on the 14th September 1925. In 2011, under Network Direct, it was merged with routes 78 & 78A and was extended to Liffey Valley via Ballyfermot. In 2017 it was extended north to Charlestown. In 2022 it was cut back from Liffey Valley to the city centre under Bus Connects when the western part of the route was covered by new route G2. It is currently planned to replace the remaining part of route 40 in October 2025 with the F-Spine under Bus Connects.
Since Throwback Thursday has started, Dublin has said goodbye to routes 8, 13, 17, 17A, 18, 25, 25A, 25B, 29A, 31, 31A, 31B, 32, 46A, 61, 63, 66, 66A, 66B, 66E, 67, 75, 75A, 76, 76A, 79, 79A, 84, 84A, 90, 145, 155, 175, 184, 185, 239, 747, 748 and some other less-frequent routes. And in the same time the city has said hello to routes C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, E1 ,E2, G1, G2, H1, H2, H3, L1, L2, L3, L11, L12, L14, L15, L25, L26, L27, L51, L52, L53, L54, L58, L59, N2, N4, N6, S2, S4, S6, S8, W2, W4, W6, 6,19, 52, 60, 74, as well as some other less-frequent routes.
All-in-all, there has been quite a change to the bus scene in Dublin since Throwback Thursday started in January 2016.

Our first house. Looks pretty good here but it was a real handyman's special. A second lot was included which accounts for this POV. We paid $6,000 for it on a contract for deed direct from the owner in 1970. Then a couple months later, the seller was hard up for money so she offered us the chance to buy back the contract for $4,500.
I learned a lot about restoring and remodeling with this one. And we actually made some good money on it but lots of work. It's no longer there because of some bad flooding a few years ago in this little village.
