DS wreck on a trailer, waiting for restauration or... demolition?
She has the second type DS dashboard, made between Oct. 1961 and Sept. 1968.
Amsterdam-Z., IJsbaanpad, Febr. 10, 2013.
This is an Indianapolis landmark. A few years ago, they moved to a new location, but this old (and huge) neon sign is still there. It was pretty awesome lit up... with reds and bluish greens.

On November 9, 10, & 11, 2014, after my car broke down, I spent 3 days at a Motel in Wildwood, Florida waiting for my car to be repaired. During my stay in Wildwood, I photographed various subjects within walking distance of the Motel such as the CSX Wildwood Yard, the Conrad Yellvington Masonry (gravel, sand, Cement,, etc.) Products Plant & Switching Locomotive and of course the Trackless Trolley Photos posted here.
The Towing & Repair Shop where my car was repaired also services Sumter County EMS Vehicles and Fire Engines.
Additionally, it maintains the Trackless Trolleys from The Villages, which is the subject of these four photos. The Villages, which is a very, very large Retirement Community, consists of several hundred small villages.
By the way, the Wildwood Wrecking & Repair Company is a very reputable company, that I would recommend to anyone who breaks down in Sumter County.
Some pics I'm uploading to hopefully help Don Wilson out with the scale of these things.
Here's my Warlock in what is quite possibly the dumbest helmet yet sitting where I think the cockpit of this ship was. As you can see these things aren't monstrously huge. They're maybe the same size or a little longer than the F-15, Sukhoi fighters, F-22, etc.
They do seem to be noticeably larger than smaller fighters like the F-35 and F-16.

We arrived on Thursday night and before checking in at the hotel, we swung by the A&M shops in Springdale, AR to see what we could make happen. Sure enough, in addition to catching the next day's passenger power laying over, we saw the Ft. Smith Turn leaving for points south. Here, the passenger train's C420 rolls by the wrecked SD70ACe #70.
This is the wrecking bar my father made out of a car spring. Probably in the 1940s or 1950s. It is very useful for trim in houses and as a foot-lever for hanging doors.
Photographed in Carlise Bay Marine Park, Barbados, where there are 6 wrecks...
Berwyn: Carlisle Bay ~ 20ft ~ A 70 ft long World War I French
Tug Boat sunk in 1919 by her own crew. The Berwyn sits between 7 and 10 feet below the surface depending on the tide. As a result of the calm water in the bay and the age of this wreck the Berwyn is covered in marine life including healthy hard and soft coral growth and their associated reef creatures.
Ce-Trek: Carlisle Bay ~ 45ft ~ The Ce-Trek, a derelict boat constructed of cement was sunk in January 1986. This shipwreck sits in deeper water on the northern edge of the park and is home to nice coral, soft coral and sponge growth.
Eillon: Carlisle Bay ~ 55ft ~ This 110ft drug boat was tied up for ~6 years in the Bridgetown careenage before it was sunk on 8th June 1996 in Carlisle Bay Marine Park. The wreck is easily accessqible for penetration and has an air pocket in the bow big enough to a conversation at 25′ under.
Bajan Queen: Carlisle Bay ~ 35ft ~ She was Barbados’ first tugboat named the “Pelican” when the Bridgetown Harbour was being constructed in the 1960’s. A decade later, as more modern tugboats were purchased; the Pelican was then converted to a party boat called “Bajan Queen”. The Bajan Queen holds many memories for thousands of Barbadians and visitors alike. After years of operation as the party spot the Bajan Queen was donated to the Coastal Zone Management Unit. From there with the assistance of our very own Andre Miller the Bajan Queen was cleaned up and sunk on 19th May 2002 in Carlisle Bay Marine Park. She now sits only a few feet below the surface and is accumulating some excellent fish life and good coral diversity.
Cornwallis: Carlisle Bay ~15ft ~ A Canadian freighter sunk by a torpedo from a German U-Boat during World War II. This wreck was relocated from a very high boat traffic region of the bay to this Marine Reserve on 22nd October 2003.
Barge: Carlisle Bay ~ 12ft ~ A Naval Landing Barge found in Carlisle Bay. This wreck is now home to numerous reef fish including the puffer’s bigger cousin the porcupine fish.
This is the wreck of the Norwegian ship Helvetia that was found wrecked upon the Rhossili beach, Gower in the 1880's.
Locals refer to this unique and wondrous site merely as 'The Train Wreck'.
The Train Wreck, seven box cars scattered over a One kilometres patch of forest, the debris from a high speed freight train crash in 1957 or 1958, South Of Function Junction near the Whistler Blackcomb resort in British Columbia, Canada. Too expensive to clear up, apart from the engine unit, the Whistler community decided to leave the wreck in situ and allow the birth of an amazing location, a bike trail and even an art gallery thanks to the incredibly vivid and stylish graffiti that covers each and every box car.
The train wreck is sort of a local secret, and I only found out about it's existence from one of the young hotel receptionists at the Crystal Lodge Hotel in Whistler village, who told me that it was great for photography and hiking. So for this series of photographs, let's wander along the forest pathway, passing waterfalls and crossing the train tracks, into the wilderness to discover those not so secret carriages from the train wreck.
The walk begins at Olives Community Market at 1200 Alpha Lake Road, Whistler, BC V0N 1B1, close to Function Junction in Whistler BC. Behind Olives there is an unmarked pathway into the dense and beautiful forest, though you only find this out upon asking in Olives community market where the ladies serving fantastic gluten free and fresh foods were incredibly friendly and helpful in handing me a printed piece of paper with directions to the train wreck itself. Here, walking at a fairly leisurely pace, almost one hour into the forest trail, the railway track takes a devious left turn and inwards to the forest are the striken box cars, like fallen warriors on the battlefield.
On the point of giving up, an hour into the trail and old legs and dogs paws screaming 'Enough already', we came back out onto the railway track from the forest. Up ahead I walked around a bend and saw in the distance a very sharp left handed bend. Could this be the point of derailment I thought? Walking closer, my eyes looked left once more into the forest and there I could just see the faintest of glimpses, a rusting, shattered box car.... we had found them at last

The wreck on Londniddry beach just as the tide was coming in... Think it works well in mono but will post the colour one at some point too....

Have no idea what happened, but there was a down light pole and dirt was everywhere on MY side of the road.
Some pics I'm uploading to hopefully help Don Wilson out with the scale of these things.
This is a wrecked ship. I forgot to grab pics of an intact one, but here you can see some Vandals around it for scale. Vandals are a little taller than the player characters, from what I can tell (like maybe six and a half feet?).
Feel free to weigh in. I know the Fallen that serve the Queen seem taller, but it's not clear to me if they're vandals or captains.
Car wrecks in farm fields with good lighting never loose their photo appeal, even to the utmost nature enthusiast, no matter
what country they are in.
The Peter Iredale was a four-masted steel barque sailing vessel that ran ashore October 25, 1906...

What's left of her 106 years later
I couldn't find any information on this one, but from what I can tell it looks like the wreck of an A-1 Skyraider.
A very excited boy who fiinally got to see the shipwreck after a whole day driving around thhe Nelson Victoria / Mt Gambier Sth Australia region. What a horrible day in the car. What a great place to get to. What a great image to find on a Holga roll three months later.
I seem to be having a little trouble getting into the destructive mode... -must be the perfectionist in me. Oh, but look, I stuck my favorite Squidoo sticker right on the front cover!!
