At last light, Norfolk Southern auto rack and stack train 21T has just knocked down the Diverging Clear signal and heads off track 2 at Ryan, IL onto the single-track main line and into the approaching twilight.
These are photos I had made available through my www.trainwatchers.com/ website. These images were shot on May 21, 2000 with the Nikon CoolPix 990. Here is the original text that accompanied these images;
"One benefit of membership to the Edison Institute is the special events held exclusively for their members. With the opening of their new 1884 Detroit, Toledo & Milwaukee Roundhouse (from Marshall, Michigan) they put together one of these events for members only.
Though this roundhouse is the original from Marshall, Michigan, changes had been made in the design before construction began. One of primary objectives of this exhibit was to allow visitors access to a working roundhouse. The DT&M Roundhouse like any other roundhouse of its era was not well suited to this task. Meeting this objective requied some changes in the design. The entry is part of the addition made to the roundhouse with hands-on exhibits. This extension continues from the first engine bay allowing for a larger engine to be housed. Also in this section are offices and storage for the railroad. For visitors it provides access to the balcony which was added to give visitor a better view of the roundhouse and it operations.
The members lined up to file through the doors of the roundhouse. Already inside the roundhouse were hundreds more enjoying the exhibits and refreshments. I was amazed to see this many people show up on a weekday evening for the event. A wide range of ages were represented giving me a sense of satisfaction to know that this many people were willing to make this effort to come out and express their interest in railroading.
Inside the roundhouse the members were treated to a variety of exhibits. The entry has hands-on exhibits for the kids including a large interactive painting of an American class locomotive. This painting uses lighting and sound effects linked to a drive wheel to demonstrate the workings of a steam locomotive. On the opposite wall was a chalkboard listing all of the locomotives housed in the round house. Between were many other exhibits targeted to children.
Once inside the roundhouse visitors are treated to a wonderful overhead view. The current project for the railroads staff is completing the overhaul of the Edison Institutes pride -- the Torch Light. Work started on the rebuild years ago in the former facility which was off-limits to the public. The Torch Light now sits in a stall of the DT&M Roundhouse in view of park visitors while work is performed. Various other pieces of hardware occupy all but one of the remaining stalls. That open stall is used for the railroad currently operating steam engine, the Edison. Another stall housed the Detroit Tunnel steam crane while the furthest stall has an American locomotive on static display.
This American locomotive at the last stall was backed in for visitors to examine. The balcony descends to a landing at cab level. From this vantage point visitors see the inside of the cab at platform level. The locomotive's cab has been beautifully restored with shining brass tubes and gauges. The cab itself is a thing of beauty with stained wood and glass panels. The tiny door to the firebox stands open on the fireman's side affording a view inside the beast. Following the stairs down, visitor can then inspect the underside of the locomotive from a pit on the fireman's side. Unfortunately for today's guests the pit had not been approved and was off-limits.
Exiting the roundhouse, the Smith Creek Depot is a short walk. The water tower stand between the round house and the depot. Outside the roundhouse though is yet to be completed ash pit and water column. Those the building is complete and functioning, the facilities outside will take a bit more time to complete."

I had a blown head gasket, so i pulled the engine to make that easier. I had teh transmission rebuilt while the engine was out. I replaced all the suspension bushings, new lowered springs, shocks, and brake rotors.

2009 Ford Focus Electric Electric Motor: AC, permanent magnet, 105 kilowatt, 141 horsepower
Ford previewed its entry into the electric vehicle market with this car specially built for The Jay Leno Show. The sizable AC/
DC inverter dominates the space under
the hood, with the electric motor mostly hidden underneath. Note the large fan at front, to keep the motor cool. Also note the prominent “Caution” decal on the inverter. Modern automobile power plants are better than ever, but the days of the shade tree mechanic may be gone for good! Matt Anderson, curator of transportation at The Henry Ford
