Whether you're into old cars, black & white or trains, this photo should grab some sort of interest.
Chicago & Eastern Illinois GP-7 #230 pauses on the house track at Momence, Illinois in April of 1965. Switchman Del Sommers is seen walking through the shot. The depot is at right.
C&EI GP7 #230 was built by EMD in August of 1951. Was later renumbered as MP #1634 and then later #634.

Remember them? I found this pic in my photo folder on my computer and I was immediately filled with memories, LOL.
Ah, they had potential to be a pretty awesome line. The clothes were on-trend and not all garishly pink with glitter. The dolls had sweet faces and even though the bodies were static, they were supposed to be like mannequins. I still see them on the shelves languishing with clearance prices. I loved the fashion packs. Those were awesome and had great pieces.

My first outing on the Country Club Plaza, way back in '04.
This fountain and several others in the area are still some of my favorite photo settings.

QGRY 6908, RLHH 3404, RLHH 3049, and QGRY 2301 working to assemble their train at Brantford on June 1st, 2018
Not really all that long ago, but long enough that the power and signals can no longer be replicated at this location. WBD CP train on Elgin Sub at Elmwood Park, IL. Taken in the early to mid-2000's.
Fallow deer stags have almost completed their antlers by mid August, although they are still velvet covered.
This week we are going back thirty-nine years to another demonstrator bus in Dublin. SC 1 / 405 UZO is seen crossing O'Connell Bridge on its way to Tallaght. This bus had a Marshall body bus on a Scania chassis and spent a number of months on test with CIE around 1982. By this time CIE had received around 100 of the KD Bombardier double deckers, which would eventually end with KD 366. The demonstrator is also painted in a similar two-tone green livery that the KDs were delivered in. Following its time with CIE, this Scania demonstrator joined the fleet of AA Motor Services in Scotland. It was withdrawn in the mid-1990s.
The bus is displaying route 2 but more likely it was on route 65A. The bus regularly worked a service on route 2 into Dublin city centre from Sandymount and then did the 09:00 departure on the 65A to Embankment in Tallaght. The 65A was removed from the network in 1994.
On a final note, the truck beside the bus is also a CIE vehicle, this one from the freight division.

Oh my, this one is cringey...
But quite possibly the most fond memory of all.
Anyway, this one dates back to... *checks date* 2013?! I was 11 then. Woah.
Anywho, this is from ye' ol' long retired LEGO.com Lord of the Rings Gallery. Pip's People was a little comic series thing I did about Pip interviewing various Middle-Earth characters and getting hurt %75 of the time. :P
It ran for three seasons of ten episodes on the LotR gallery and was continued later on the LEGO.com General Gallery.
Ya' know, a comedy thing would be kinda' neat here... I'll have to think about trying that sometime.
It's October 22, 1999, and CSX local Y101 has just finished dropping off a cut of cars at the North Baltimore grain elevator for loading. CSX is only a few months into the Conrail acquisition and numerous variations of paint can be seen on trains all across the now even larger CSX system. With no other customers between here and Fostoria, Y101 will head back West to Defiance yard where it will tie down until the following day.
In reality, this is CSX train M558 with a load of LTEX bound units, presumably headed for scrap. This unit has definitely seen better days, and from the looks of it, this may be its last mainline ride. Also in the consist were 3 SW9/1200's and one former SP tunnel motor.
