68007 on the 0Z37 Preston to Carlisle working over the Settle and Carlisle line. Caught here leaving Helwith Bridge on a dull day - 03/09/14. Two things I noticed 1) the lower headlights were flashing, presumable a feature and not a fault 2) how quiet it was.

Built in June of 1948 by Lima for the C&O, this 4-8-4 "Greenbriar" was the last commercially produced 4-8-4 to be built. It was built to pull the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway’s premier express passenger trains, The George Washington and The Fast Flying Virginian between Richmond and Chicago over the eastern continental divide formed by the Allegheny Mountains.

Being produced so late into the steam era, the locomotive sported many of the latest & greatest features that could be found, like roller bearing drivers & rods to name a couple, allowing it to be an instant success. Its reliability, power and speed enabled the railroad to increase the size of the trains it pulled and at the same time shortened scheduled running times between destinations. Despite the success of the design, though, the transition to diesel was already well underway & it was put into storage in 1952 in a Kentucky roundhouse, where she sat for more than two decades. In the fall of 1956, before it was official retired, it was actually renumbered 611. The C&O had a power shortage and as a result, leased a number of 4-8-4’s from the RF&P, including their 614. To alleviate confusion, a paint brush and chisel were taken to the 614, since the original C&O 611 had already been retired.

In 1976, she was cosmetically restored and donated to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum in Baltimore, Maryland.

In 1979, the locomotive was sold to railroad enthusiast and entrepreneur Ross E. Rowland, Jr., who oversaw a crew of 15 mechanics and some 100 volunteers to rebuild it to operation on the Chessie Safety Express after Reading 2101 was critically damaged when the roundhouse in Silver Grove, KY it was being stored in caught on fire, damaging it to the point where it would need a complete overhaul. The project took 18 months to complete at a cost of $1.5 million. During the restoration, modifications were made to enable it to pull a 25-car passenger train all day without having to stop for any type of service.

It pulled those trips in 1980 & 1981, then sat in storage until January of 1985, when it was used as a test vehicle for the ACE 3000 project, which was Ross Rowland's attempt to design a modern steam locomotive. As part of the early testing, it was assigned to pull coal trains between Huntington & Hinton, WV for several weeks. Ultimately, the railroads decided to stay with the diesel-electric design & the project was scrapped.

The engine's most recent assignment was powering a series of excursions from Hoboken, NJ to Port Jervis, NY over NJ Transit’s Bergen County, Main and Conrail’s (now Metro-North Railroad) Southern Tier lines in the fall of 1996, 1997 & 1998. These 180 mile round-trip “Iron Horse Rambles” and “Erie Limited” excursions saw the engine pulling 25+ car trains as fast as 79mph, providing for some jaw-dropping performances. Since then though, it has sat dormant in multiple locations & has even been put up for sale at one point while Ross has made several attempts to have the engine run again. 11-5-20

Washington, D.C. (Navy Yard)

28 September 2014.

***************

▶ The last time a Washington, D.C. Major League baseball team won the World Series was, in fact, the only time: 1924, when the Washington Senators, of the American League, defeated the New York Giants.

In 1925 and 1933, the Senators would win the American League pennant, but lose in the World Series. Those would be the last two occasions of a postseason championship for a Washington D.C. baseball team (even though the Montreal Expos, who became the current Washington Nationals in 2005, did win the National League East, in 1981, before losing the NLCS to the Los Angeles Dodgers).

Will there be a new pennant in 2014?

**************

▶ UPDATE: No, there wouldn't be a pennant that year, but it did happen in 2019!

▶ UPDATE update:

On 23 July 2020, a World Championship banner was raised to honor the Nats' World Series Championship of 2019 over the Houston Astros. Unfortunately, Nationals Park was empty of fans, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Picture C shows houses number 730 to 732A on the south side of Carroll Street. This photograph demonstrates the diversity in the appearance of same style Italianate brownstones. The multicolored block shows the different homeowners desire for individuality expressed through the color of their homes. Despite the modern twist on these brownstones the traditional ornaments on these row houses enhance the streetscape. The cornices, windows, stoops and doorways all constructed in line gives a sweeping vista to the pedestrian’s eyes and is a characteristic of this Italianate style. These buildings, although appearing to be similar to the traditional Italianate style, have been modified to improve the overall façade. The modifications can be seen in the red and blue buildings, which have been plastered over in order to recreate the brownstone façade. One can see such differences also by comparing the red and blue houses to the middle more traditional brownstone building. One can also notice that the two colorful buildings do not inhabit the original doors as seen in the middle house. These modern doors are again a result of the individual homeowners taste. Because this area of Brooklyn, Park Slope, attracts a more liberal and free thinking population compared to many other areas of the Borough, seeing Brownstones painted colors other than the original brown is common. These colors are a result of the liberal communities desire to not only express individuality in clothing but also in life style, including the environment in which one chooses to live. These few house show how the ideas of what a beautiful brownstone is, has changed overtime. If people from the 1850’s saw houses painted like different colors they would probably cause commotion and would have considered it tacky, as the original beauty of the style was in how uniformed the streetscape appeared.
