I’ve been unable to find very much information on this interesting building. It is located at 2100 N. 2nd Street, in the near north-side of St. Louis, Missouri, and currently houses American Timber Salvage. That company is in the business of salvaging historic building wood materials for re-use, and is owned by Bruce Gerrie, who collaborated with artist Bob Cassilly to provide materials for the world famous City Museum. The City Museum, which is located in a converted shoe factory in downtown St. Louis, is built almost entirely with cast offs from demolitions. Mr. Gerrie is also the owner and curator of the St. Louis Architectural Museum, which is located inside of the City Museum.
Above the door of this structure can faintly be seen the words “Engine Co. 26.” As best as I’ve been able to determine, this was a former firehouse built in 1887. The old cobblestone street can still be seen leading up to the front door, which mostly likely saw horse-drawn fire engines in its early days. I have been unable to find any information indicating how long this building remained in operation as a fire house. Apparently, in the 1990’s the building was used by some artists (JD Street, Tom Seymour and "Evil" Ted Smith) who went on to some acclaim as special effects gurus in the film industry after moving to California.

Just like the MИP-26B 3.5/45mm lens, this diesel engine is temperamental, especially if you call him YELLOW!!

Truck Thursday
We had some errands to run today and while we were out this Fire Truck zoomed passed us with its light flashing and siren blowing. I couldn't miss an opportunity like this!

Hughes Engine house. Moonta, South Australia
Hughes Enginehouse played a focal role in the operations of the Moonta Mine. Its function was to dewater the underground workings on the mine’s largest orebodies. These orebodies, known as Elders and Elders West Lodes, were worked over a length of 1000 metres and to depths of more than 700 metres.
This classic Cornish enginehouse was constructed alongside Hughes Shaft by John Beaglehole between late 1863 and early 1865. It was named after Walter Watson Hughes, the founder of the Moonta Mining Co.
The building housed a 60-inch Cornish beam pumping engine installed under the direction of engineer Frederick May, and officially started by Captain Hancock on 2 September 1865. The engine and its installation cost £7000 ($1-2 million by today’s standards).
The engine operated pumps in Hughes and Taylors Shafts which allowed mining of the main orebody below natural water level. It worked continuously, except for maintenance, for more than 58 years until closure of the mine in 1923.
The machinery was scrapped and the buildings were salvaged when the Wallaroo and Moonta Mining and Smelting Co. liquidated in 1925. In 1973, the National Trust carried out conservation work on the enginehouse and chimney.

Locomotive History
The Gresley designed engine was one of a class of six engines built at Darlington works by the London and North Eastern Railway for West Highland line duties. It entering traffic in July 1938 numbered 3442, which became 1994 under the London and North Eastern Railway 1946 re-numbering scheme and 61994 on the formation of British Railways. Initially the K4s were mainly used on the Glasgow to Fort William stretch of the West Highland line. From 1947 B1 4-6-0’s displacing the K4s from the Glasgow – Fort William passenger duties and the K4’s were relegated to the Mallaig branch West Highland goods duties. In 1959, the K4’s were transferred to Thornton Shed for use on goods duties until October 1961 when all except 61994 were withdrawn. The last K4, 61994 The Great Marquess, was withdrawn in December 1961 and sold to Viscount Garnock and spent most of the 1960’s on main line railtour duty until steam was banned by British Rail at the end of 1968. From 1972 it was stored on the Severn Valley Railway until 1980 when it was overhauled. In the mid 1990s it was bought by John Cameron, and the locomotive was overhauled at Crewe.
The dream of many a school boy of my generation - to become an engine driver. These two look happy enough driving 76079 on the North york Moors Railway.
Truro Township, Ohio Fire Department Engine 162

Formerly served as Engine 161 and later as the reserve engine. This unit was involved in a crash in 2019. The department decided to both repair and refurbish the apparatus and return it service as Engine 162. The ALF then took over reserve duties.
