43184 is turned out to head the 1S51 1227 PLM-EDN for her first revenue earning work in her new Inter City Executive livery. Unfortunately she was running 40 late by the time she reached the outskirts of Teignmouth. Nevertheless we can live with that as she looks so smart and gives us all something interesting to photograph on the Cross Country services. 43303 on the back.
1948 Alvis TA14. And, like all Alvis cars, Alvis only supplied the chassis, drive train, and underpinnings with all being custom bodied by coachbuilders.
The Story of This Particular Car:
The TA-series Alvis was a new model offered after the close of World War II, from 1946 onward. Power for the TA was derived from a 1.9-liter four-cylinder engine and four-speed manual transmission which were both slightly improved from their prewar configurations. Three body styles were offered: a Sports Saloon by Mulliner, as well as Drophead Coupes by either Carbodies or Tickford.
Despite the TA 14’s origin as a premiere postwar model designed to reinvigorate Alvis’ production facilities towards civilian vehicles, it did better than anyone had hoped. More TA 14s were produced than any other model in the company’s history. It is further believed by the Alvis Owner’s Club that more examples have also survived than any other model, with much of this owed to the robust design and construction. By the end of 1950, the TA 14 had been phased out of production and replaced by the more powerful TA 21.
This particular TA 14 is clothed in the striking Drophead Coupe body supplied by Carbodies, one of just 400 examples believed produced. According to records from the Alvis Owner’s Club, the car was dispatched on 30 August 1948 to the British Embassy in Washington, D.C. where its first owner was employed as the Civil Air attaché. Nearly 40 years later, it appears for sale in a 1986 Alvis Club publication.
More recently, this TA 14 passed through collections in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Sun City West, Arizona prior to acquisition by the consignor in March 2005. It should be noted that several of the car’s previous owners were active members of the Alvis Owner’s Club who were enthusiastic and fastidious stewards of this particular chassis. As such, this nicely preserved TA 14 presently indicates fewer than 48,800 actual miles at time of cataloguing.
While within the consignor’s collection, this stately 1948 Alvis TA 14 Drophead Coupe by Carbodies has been carefully preserved and thoughtfully maintained. With fewer than 400 examples of its kind produced, this chassis is presented showing actual mileage and having benefitted from many years of enthusiast ownership. One would be hard pressed to find a more attractive postwar Alvis.

A retired trio of former BN 1994 built first production SD70MACs are at Bessemer, Alabama waiting for the ferry move to Birmingham Rail & Locomotive on a dreary April 18, 2020 morning. This group of MACs last operated in late 2014.
The North Carolina Executive Mansion - beautiful for various reasons, including its historic architecture, elegant design, and carefully maintained interior and exterior. Built in 1891, the mansion has undergone several renovations and upgrades over the years, preserving its classic features while incorporating modern amenities. Its beautiful landscaped grounds and gardens also add to its aesthetic appeal. Located in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. It serves as the official residence of the governor of North Carolina.
For the 2nd night in a row, CN M391 had a worthy leader. While it may not have been the same quality trio, it was another one that is still in the BNSF family, SD70MAC 9700. Running on clear signals, the train builds speed as they head for Battle Creek to work before terminating at Kirk Yard.
The Day Gas rolls eastward on the 10th Sub east of Perma, MT with BNSF 9823 sporting its Executive “cream and green” paint. It was nice to finally bag an executive mac leader and it being a pair of mac’s didn’t hurt either.

The prototype Js31, c/n 601, its previous identity was G-TALL.
Named "Spirit of Mercia".
On a morning of the sun playing games with the clouds, the Day Gas is on its return trip eastward from Pipeline to Missoula. There was a nice pile of ballast to gain some elevation here at East Eddy to frame the Day Gas between the searchlights guarding the main and siding.

CP 1401 leads the Executive Train on its return eastbound on a rainy early evening run up to concession 7 just past mile 47 on the Galt sub.
I never thought in a million years I'd see another Executive MAC leading but I guess I was wrong! BNSF 9653, I assume a rare PTC equipped MAC leads train 734 around Nickajack lake and up Raccoon Mountain into Chattanooga. This was absolutely one of my favorite chases, especially with the 70MAC leading! Descriptions of each shot will be attached below.
Executives from the advertising world board their train in Dublin's Point Depot, 23rd April 1990 for their very unusual train journey.
Also on dispaly were Dublin Bus Bombardiers KD365,353 & 361, "Mars Bars", "Coca-Cola", and "B&I Line"
I've never been a fan of the BNSF executive paint scheme, but I couldn't resist with BNSF 9681 leading CP 281 through Milwaukee today.
Might as well have a going away pic of 43184 in Intercity Executive livery. Seen at Elford on the back of 1V44 0611 Leeds - Plymouth 11/7/22.
Fresh out of Wyoming's Powder River Basin, BNSF train C-BTMCXC flies eastbound through Meriden on the Mendota Sub towards the Chicago. With a former BN SD70MAC on the point, this hot topic of a train made decent time as it kept a steady pace along the former CB&Q mainline.

"Under Construction. You like it?"
Today's CPKC 135 making its first move in London Yard of its several-hour long work period. The trailing locomotive, BNSF Executive MAC 9783, was supposed to come on 231 a few days ago, but was removed in Toronto for unknown reasons. It finally showed up today, much to my delight. The Adelaide Street bridge project is steadily progressing. The new roadway is not even open yet, and already there is some graffiti along the new girders.
