Four former Illinois Central SD70s team up to wheel a northbound manifest freight through Pesotum, Illinois. It was like being transported back to the days when the IC was still a standalone railroad before being taken over by Canadian National.
A new year and a new idea. I plan on adopting the "Throwback Thursday" idea and posting a photograph from the archives every Thursday.
First up is a shot of RH 145 at Bray Station with an 84 to Kilcoole. 07/01/1995
Happy 20th Anniversary to my parents <3 I love you more than anything. Thank you so much for supporting and guiding me, and making me the person I am today. You both are the greatest <3
Alexandra Diamos met DeGrazia at the UA when the young student was planting olive trees on campus by day and leading the DeGrazia band at night. As she recalled, “The band leader put down his baton and began playing a trumpet that was sweet as honey with long sweeps of pain and longing…and when the soloist finished there was a thunder of applause.” Her father, Fox Theater owner Nicholas Diamos, consented to the marriage with the promise that DeGrazia finish his BA degree. The couple had three children but divorced in 1946. Happy Throwback Thursday!
This stranger who worked as a driver for someone asked me to take his picture when he saw me lugging around a bigass camera back in Assam, India. Can't say he was unhappy with the results.
We've been digging through a decade of press clippings about the gallery this week. Here's one of our favorite images from the stack. The Santa Fean interviewed Lawrence in January 2012 about the rise of "higher end" offerings on the Santa Fe art market. Learn more here: thematthewsgallery.com/Artwork-Detail.cfm?ArtistsID=195&a...
This week we go back forty years to 1984 and KC 75 at the route 27A terminus on Gardiner Street.
Route 27A started running between the city centre and Kilmore in 1967. It reached Coolock around 1983, and Beaumont Hospital in 1988. The route ceased to operate in 1996 when changes took place to route 27. However, it returned to the network in 2011 when it replaced route 42B under Network Direct. This new route operated from the city centre to Blunden Drive via Harmonstown.
KC 75 was new to CIE in March 1984, about three weeks before this photograph was taken. It remained in service until around the year 2000 when it was withdrawn. Although it spent most of its working life in Clontarf Garage, its final years were spent in Donnybrook Garage.

2nd of 5 photos taken on New York Central's (nee-CI&S) Egyptian Line at Sheff, Indiana in 1914 showing the completion of the watering facilities. In this photo, Thomas Boldman is seen sitting on his motorcar at right along with 2 other men. It is likely that 1 or both of the other men are Boldmans as well. Wilmer Boldman most likely took these shots at Sheff as he seemed to be the photographer in the family.
The view appears to be looking S/E from an area south of the tower about 1/2 mile or so, showing the newly installed standpipe on the east side of the main. From looking at the other photos, I would say they are all facing northward on what would be the area where the south end of double-track started.
Metra 90 & 104 lead 8 private cars out of Elgin on the second leg of the AAPRCO mainline excursion. They’re pulling their special train to Fox Lake on September 3, 2022.
This week we are going thirty-nine years to 1985 and to D 762 parked just off Strand Street in Dublin 1. This VanHool bus was new to CIE in 1975 and was initially based in Donnybrook Garage. It received this all-over ad for Valspar Paint in 1983. Previously Leyland Atlantean D 189 carried a similar scheme, but before it was withdrawn it was decided that another bus would carry-on wearing the ad. D 762 was chosen. Cross-city route 11 from Griffith Avenue to Closnkeagh was the route of choice for buses in advert liveries, and D 762 became common on it. In 1986 the bus moved to Ringsend Garage, and in 1995 it was withdrawn by Dublin Bus. Presumably it lost this all-over ad around the time it moved garages.
This area between Abbey Street and Strand Street was a layover area for buses for many decades. Dublin Bus pulled out in the early-2000s when the Luas Red Line was built along Abbey Street. The Jervis tram stop was built besdie it too. There have been many plans over the years since then to redevelop the site.
Valspar can trace its origins back to 1806 and to Boston in the USA.

Amtrak special 904 zips past the signals at Hillsdale, IL with the Phase IV Heritage leading the way.

Another archives pic. This was taken just before hitting the town with friends (restaurant) in my new dress.
I later lent this dress out to a GG friend and never got it back...😮
These two particular dolls really changed my perception of the Barbie brand. I was happy to see them readily available year after year until Raquelle was nowhere to be found in the US for the "Style" line only to be released elsewhere and to finally come back twice unfortunately with poorly printed eyes. She has yet to appear back with this gorgeous face. Ryan on the other hand had his sculpt completely redone and never returned. Mattel please bring them back... just the way they used to be!
Here's to hoping we get them in collectible sized heads in any upcoming lines whether it be "The Look" or not even in collectible size heads, just back in "Fashionistas." I would get excited just to see them back in some form be it a picture in the Barbiestyle Instagram account. What do you guys think? Which Raquelle and Ryan are your favorite releases?
This week we go back twenty years to RV 365 at Dublin Airport on route 230. Route 230 connected the airport with Portmarnock going via Swords and Malahide. It started in 1991 but in 2008 it was merged with the 102 and extended to railway station in Sutton. In 2018 the 102 was taken over by Go-Ahead Ireland.
RV 365 was new to Dublin Bus in 1997 and was withdrawn in 2009. It was sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom, and was still in service in Scotland up to at least 2022.
This bus stop at Dublin Airport has been served by a number of routes and operators over the years. Currently it is home to First Aircoach, with the 102 departing from the other side of the Terminal 1 multi-storey carpark.

This week we are going back to 2009. RV 541 is seen departing the 130 terminus on Abbey Street with a service to Castle Avenue. The Volvo Olympians were quite common on the route at the time, getting some of the oldest buses in the garage. Today though the 130 has some variety on the route, with anything from 13 year old AVs to 1 year old SGs appearing on it. The route was formed in 1996 with the merging of the routes 30 and 44A. It started under the City Imp brand before merging back into the standard route network. It is a high-frequency route serving Fairview, Clontarf and Dollymount, and is operated out of Clontarf Garage. RV 541 was withdrawn in 2010. 13/07/2009
May 1993 and RH 4 is seen on Abbey Street at a time of great change. 1993 was when Dublin Bus started CitySwift services. The idea was the run single-deck buses at higher frequencies, basically offering a turn-up and go service. The first route to be converted was the 39 which was to run between Abbey Street and Clonsilla via Blanchardstown. However it was not smooth transition to CitySwift. Immediately prior to its introduction there was a week-long strike which started on the 23rd May. Therefore this day, the 22nd May, was probably the last day of double-decker operations on the 39...for about two years. CitySwift was so successful that the single-decker buses could not cope and double-deckers had to be brought in.
RH 4 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 1990. It was one of eighteen Leyland Olympians buses initially ordered by Dublin Bus, but eventually there were 640 Olympians. It was withdrawn in 1999 and may subsequently have gone to Croatia.
The bus is in an all-over ad for Irish Kidney Association, advertising organ donor cards. Abbey Street, 22/05/1993
