Am 03.05. dieses Jahres ging es direkt nach der Arbeit nach Wonck, um ein paar Fotos von dem schönen Rapsfeld zu verewigen. Mitten auf der Strecke stellten mein Kollege Julian und ich fest, dass sich ein Auto Ganzzug in Aachen zu uns auf den Weg gemacht hat. Also war ein wenig Eile geboten, um sich diesen passenden Zug nicht entgehen zu lassen.
An der Stelle angekommen dauerte es keine 5 Minuten bis der GM Sound deutlich zu hören war.
Und dann kam er auch, RTBC PB09 mit einem ARS Altmann durchfährt stark verspätet Wonck und strebt dem Ziel Zeebrugge fleißig entgegen.

Odeur des pluies de mon enfance,
Derniers soleils de la saison !
À sept ans, comme il faisait bon,
Après d'ennuyeuses vacances
Se retrouver dans sa maison !
La vieille classe de mon père,
Pleine de guêpes écrasées
Sentait l'encre, le bois, la craie
Et ces merveilleuses poussières
Amassées par tout un été !
Ô temps charmants des brumes douces,
Des gibiers, des longs vols d'oiseaux,
Le vent souffle sous le préau,
Mais je tiens entre paume et pouce
Une rouge pomme à couteau !
[© René-Guy Cadou, in Les amis d'enfance, 1965]

“Class is an aura of confidence that is being sure without being cocky. Class has nothing to do with money. Class never runs scared. It is self-discipline and self-knowledge. It's the sure-footedness that comes with having proved you can meet life. ”
― Ann Landers
I spent the last day of my yearly vacation on the Montzen route. Starting the day in Sint-Martens-Voeren, I ended in Hoeselt.
At the very end of this last day of my yearly vacation, I could squeeze out shots of 2 more freights heading west. One of them being a train loaded with Move and Ewals containers, headed for Genk. The train is seen just south of Hoeselt.
Shoutout to Trainbelge, who I met in Hoeselt again, after meeting each other for the first time 1 week earlier in France.

I took this picture about 7:45 am and when I went back again today at 4 pm, the leaf had finally departed, joining all the other leaves on the ground. I'm glad I was able to photograph it for a while..
This somewhat rare and unusual car/truck took Best in Class at the 2024 Lime Rock Concours Show. The truck was developed around Studebaker's Dictator car, (looks more like their Commander model, so the info could be wrong) used it's chassis along the front and rear styling features of the car. This hybrid car/truck predated Ford's Ranchero and Chevrolet's El Camino by around 20 years.
The Studebaker Coupe Express is a passenger car based coupe utility, produced by the Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana, between 1937 and 1939. Featuring an automobile styled cab and flared rear fenders right off the Studebaker Dictator, it was sold both with a manufacturer supplied pick up style metal bed, and as a rolling chassis and cab to be fitted with a bed or boxes by the purchaser.
The Coupe Express was designed by Raymond Loewy and utilized the Dictator passenger car frame, running gear, and front sheet metal. A new body stamping was made to form the cab back. The model was sold both with a manufacturer supplied metal bed and as a cab and chassis, with the Dictator’s automobile-style sweepingly flared rear fenders attached. A service box, built to specification, would be fabricated by (or for) the end user (such as a plumber or electrician).
The truck was powered by the larger of Studebaker's L-head six-cylinder flathead engines and mated to a 3-speed manual transmission. Studebaker offered a Borg-Warner 3-speed transmission with overdrive as an option. Other options included a radio, heater, wire reinforced sliding back window and turn indicators. Two optional wheels were available, including a stamped steel disc wheel and a stamped steel 'artillery' spoked wheel.
Production for the 1937 model year was approximately 3,000 units.
The truck's passenger cab was restyled in 1938 to reflect the modernized passenger car sheet metal resulted a slightly longer pickup bed. Production for 1938 was approximately 1,200 units.
The 1939 model was again remodeled to reflect Studebaker's annual design updates. Production was approximately 1,000 units. The Coupe Express model was discontinued after the 1939 model year, and Studebaker did not offer a successor model for 1940.
Studebaker introduced the M-Series pickup truck 1941, while the company used the Coupe Express name in advertising for a time,[citation needed] but no M-Series trucks were ever officially designated as the Coupe Express.
The fact that Studebaker itself labeled it a “coupe” rather than a truck (a very different thing at that time; retained a stylish, even luxurious, interior instead of replacing it with a more utilitarian one; and never named or officially referred to any of its actual pickup trucks with the terms “coupe“ or “express“, further distance it from being labeled as one.
Sandhill Crane.
Between 34 to 48 inches in length with a wingspan of nearly 7 feet. They are very tall with a long neck and long legs. Largely gray with a red forehead. Juveniles are browner and have no red on head. Their plumage often appears a rusty color because of iron stains from water of ponds or marshes.
They inhabit large freshwater marshes, prairie ponds and marshy tundra. They are also on prairies and grain fields during migration and in winter.
They range from Siberia and Alaska to the Hudson Bay and south into western Ontario. There are isolated populations in: the Rocky Mountains, the northern prairies, the Great Lakes, Mississippi, Georgia and Florida. They winter in California's Central Valley and across the southern states from Arizona to Florida.

A Class Sunset
Four years ago this evening, L&Y Class 27 No. 1300 ponders through Burrs, backlit by a Winter’s sky...
An absolutely mega slide...
A new addition to the (reducing in size) collection I received today: Class 24 no.5114 seen entering Invergordon on 10/08/72 with the 10:50 Inverness-Wick and Thurso, a shot taken around 3 weeks after I'd been born... And I'd say the slide has survived the years the better of the two of us !
The 24 had around 2 months left in traffic before withdrawal.
Truck details (thanks Pip) Ford D series, believed to be a 2415 series.
Photographer Unknown.
PR Collection.
Just playing at photography evening class. this one is a crystal globe in front of a background I printed off the web. It's one of a series I took this week. I had great fun. I think I may try a different lens in future, to try and get the background in sharp focus as well as the lens ball. We shall see....
