The 1941 Pere Marquette 1225 on a holiday excursion from the Steam Railroading Institute in Owosso to Ashley, Michigan. The train is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The pilot started the starboard turboprop and idled for about ten minutes before taxiing towards the runway.
Actually by doing so he also started the much needed, air conditioning as it was getting pretty stuffy and hot inside the cabin.
Small planes like the ATR 72 don't have an on-board APU (auxiliary power unit) like bigger commercial jets do, so they have to run one of the engines in order to get the air conditioning running just as you would with your car.
In the case of the ATR 72, the pilot could also apply the propeller brake so that the blades would be stationary but I guess in the 45+ degree Celsius heat on the tarmac having the propeller blades cool the main engine is a good idea.

Engine 141
2024 Pierce Enforcer/Ascendant (1500/500/107')
Engine 71 received a brand new Freightliner/Pierce in the fall of 2013. Status of this rig is unkown
I found this image striking when it came off the memory card because the red painted lines showing where the shell of the engine has been cut away look remarkably like the overlay cameras use to show you areas of under or over-exposure but that's exactly how it came out. Taken at the Cosford RAF Museum in Wolverhampton.

A visit to our old Tullibody home area included a call-in to see what was going on at Boness. Well, this loco was in service that day - but things were not quite as they seemed....
The BR liveried J94 was actually an industrial look-a like WD that had been supplied to the WD in 1945 , transferred to
Comrie (Fife) NCB before being purchased for preservation .A good job of 'converting' it to BR condition had been done - BUT why number the loco as only the seventh of a class of at least 75 locos?
October 31, 2006 - I checked the oil level upon returning home from having it changed. I probably should've taken a photo outdoors rather than in my building's parking spot. This is one of Ford's 4-cylinder engines with eight plugs. It's underpowered at 2300cc but excellent on gas.
I keep general comments at my eJournal and images.
Usually a photo snapped off to the side when driving 75mph results in motion blur. Not, however, when passing a train moving at 70mph.
Motor, uncut harness, and G260 transmission from 1990 325i. 197091 miles. Compression test readings here: www.flickr.com/photos/dongkwan/4821934464/in/photostream/. Motor still made good power, but most likely has a cracked head gasket (no milkshake coolant and oil is fine). You can see external coolant leak at cylinder #6

Bessemer and Lake Erie 2-10-4 steam locomotive number 643 located in McKees Rocks, PA. Manufactured in 1943.
The best I have been able to find out is that it was restored in the 1980s but has sat since then. Safety standards have changed so it would need to be re-restored.
The property owner would not let me on to the property to take better pictures so these were taken through the chain link fence. If there wasn't barbed wire, I might have jumped it.
A MÁV V40, becenevén a Kandó-mozdony, egy villamosmozdony sorozat volt. Kandó Kálmán célja olyan mozdony megépítése volt, amelyet az országos villamos hálózat frekvenciájával lehetett közvetlenül megtáplálni, elkerülve a bonyolult és költséges frekvenciaátalakítást.
Az első mozdony 1932-ben állt üzembe a Budapest-Hegyeshalom vonalon, amely a világ első nem kísérleti, egyfázisú 50 Hz-es villamosított vonala volt. 1940-ig 29 db V40-es és 3 db V60-as mozdony épült meg. A mozdonyok nemcsak a személyszállító, hanem a tehervonatok továbbítására is alkalmasnak bizonyultak. A mozdonyokat 1967-ig használta a MÁV. A V40 sorozat személyvonati, a V60 sorozat tehervonati célokat szolgált. A két sorozat egy-egy darabját megőrizték, a V40,016 pályaszámú mozdony ma a Füsti Magyar Vasúttörténeti Parkban látható. A V60,003 1983-tól tartós kihelyezésben volt a Budapesti Műszaki Főiskola Kandó Kálmán Villamosmérnöki Karának Bécsi úti épülete előtt, 2007. október 15-én és 16-án éjjel a V43-as típusú 1110-es pályaszámú mozdonyra cserélte le a MÁV Nosztalgia Kft, a V60,003-at pedig a Magyar Vasúttörténeti Parkban helyezték el.
V40 was the world's first 50Hz AC electric engine, 29 of them were produced between 1932 and 1940. They were retired in 1967, two survivor engines (a V40 and one of the V60 freight version units) are o display at the Railway History Park in Budapest, Hungary.
