Yes, this took me forever to photograph due to a broken camera. Still crappy pictures because I had to use my phone camera.

Engine room of a 100+ year steam ship
On Oct. 9, this 111 year old freight ship, last known as the JB Ford, was towed from Connor's point in Superior, WI across the harbor to it's final resting place at the scrapyard that will soon be dismantling it and selling off it's steel. The long effort to save this greatly historic steam ship finally failed when the cost of dealing with the asbestos insulation was realized. Restoring and converting the ship into a museum was said to cost $2-3 million, yet only $50,000 in donations and $500,000 from the current owner had been put up to save it.
This ship served under it's own power for 81 years, hauled raw materials during both World Wars, survived two historic storms, and later on hauled cement that went into creating the US interstate system.

A picture of little photographic merit, but showing possibly a quite rare event. After a week of very high temperatures, trains out of Doulas were followed by the fire fighting train. Despite removal of most of the engine cladding on the diesel, the high temperatures took their toll on the rather fragile machine, and on a rather dreary and damp 21st July 2006, Caledonia was rostered for the duty. Here she is seen in her short lived blue livery, facing towards Douglas and returning downhill at Keristal.

From Wikipedia
In 2002 Virgin Trains in the UK began operating custom-designed Pendolino trains known as the Class 390 on its West Coast Main Line (WCML) franchise.
The 53 9-car trains were constructed by Alstom and are leased by Virgin Trains from Angel Trains.
Due to the failure of the WCML upgrade to provide in-cab signalling these units are limited in service to 125 mph (200 km/h) operation rather than their 140 mph (225 km/h) design speed. In 2006, Virgin Trains announced that over the next three years they will be examining the possibility of running the trains at 135 mph (215 km/h) through the Trent Valley as part of their new WCML Franchise Proposal.[14]
An Alstom Class 390 Pendolino in Birmingham.The Class 390 Pendolino are maintained by Alstom (West Coast Traincare) under contract to Virgin Trains until 2012. The main maintenance locations are Wembley, Midlands (Oxley, Wolverhampton), Manchester (Longsight) and Glasgow (Polmadie), as well as Liverpool (for minor work only) and several "Traincare Points" along the line of route (such as Euston and Carlisle). Headquarters for West Coast Traincare moved from the former Metro-Cammell factory at Washwood Heath in Birmingham upon its closure in November 2005 to Manchester Longsight depot with some functions being based at a new office facility at Oxley depot.
The DfT has announced that 31 of the existing 9-car sets will be lengthened to 11 cars to increase capacity. Four new 11-car sets are also to be built. Angel Trains ordered the vehicles from Alstom in September 2008.[15] Virgin Rail Projects has been selected to introduce the new trains. The longer units will require major infrastructure changes to allow stations and depots to accommodate the 11-car units.
Two decades earlier British Rail had planned to bring tilting train technology to the same line with the APT project. Technical problems caused by pressure to launch the service early and lack of the political will to provide sufficient funding to overcome them forced the abandonment of this early attempt, although much of the technology was used to design and build Pendolino trains.

" I bought an old K's Fowler 3P tank body for a song and managed to get it to fit a Bachmann Ivatt Class 2 chassis. After much cutting and resoldering, it runs very well and gives quite a good representation of a Fowler Class 3." - Steve Crabtree
