Day 7 (100 Mile House, BC. to Seattle, Washington. 370 miles).
Bodie, California. It would seem obvious for most people that climbing on this old truck would not be a good idea. However, there are those who need a sign advising them to not climb on the truck. The sign only stops the ones who can read and who actually care about preserving such a relic.
Rust adds so much character. Interesting green light over the windshield remaining from a set of three lights. I am guessing that this may date back to about 1935.
This was at the "Truck Stop" in Show Low, Arizona, USA.. A fun place of different foods, drinks, bands, arts, crafts, and games. The theme is old trucks and they are parked all around with many being used as seating, stage, or decoration.
Sorry, I uploaded a different photo earlier and decided I liked this one and this crop better. I'm not really excited about the photos I took but for all the huffing and puffing walking back up the hill from the creek, I figured I had to upload something.

A photo of Flatbed Falls, near Tumbler Ridge, taken a few years ago. I don't think I will get a better photo because people seem to think it is ok to leave their garbage behind here and it is tough to take a clean shot now.
A Slovak flatbed, Polish and Czech coaches, and a German carriage for oversize loads. That all in one special train, headed by SM31-021.
Every now and then there is a train heading out from Wrocław. On its hook is a power generator (they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes), which is headed for the harbour of Gdynia for further shipment abroad. The train takes the least used routes to not interfere with standard train traffic. The last part of the route usually leads via Czersk, Kościerzyna and Somonino (on the old coal mainline).
However, yesterday the train was routed differently. After a night spent in Chojnice, it set out in the early morning towards Czersk, and then further down the old Ostbahn towards Starogard Gdański, where it was to spend the night between 07.12 and 08.12.2024.
I was very happy to catch a train here because usually nothing really interesting uses the Ostbahn between Czersk and Tczew, and there are a few interesting spots to make use of here.
The pictured train was running as 553000 from Czersk to Pszczółki. In Pszczółki it will most likely wait until the coming night to make the last stretch to Gdynia. Here it is seen in very humid conditions, as it was arriving at Kaliska, to wait for an upcoming regional train from the other direction.
I must say that I'm personally extremely happy with this picture, must be one of my personal favorites of the last few months.

I can't believe its been a few years since I walked down to Flatbed Falls, so on the spur of the amount I packed my camera bag, bear spray included and told my son I was off for a short hike. 'If I don't text you in 4 hours, come with a search party'.
I don't recall any bear sightings along the short hike down to the falls, so it is one of the trails that I'll venture out on alone. The only worrying thing is that it is quite steep and if an old man ever sprained an ankle, it would be a tough walk back up.
I used a variable ND filter, resulting in an exposure of 6 seconds at f16, ISO 100. The color balance looks a little on the cool side, do you think? I used to always correct the color balance too warm I believe and now I don't like the look of those photos. Any opinions on how this looks?
Oh yeah, I made it back safely... obviously. Just an asthma attack from the steep walk back up from the creek bed.

I can't remember how long I have been trying for a moment such as this from the south end, but it's a long time.
Anyway, I hope you like the results and I thank you for your support!
Dodge L600 cabover flatbed truck. The tilting cab utilized the forward body of Dodge’s A-100 vans of the same era.
Though now retired after a career of hard work, it still has the appearance of standing with dignity among the simple and natural surroundings in Jerome, Arizona at Gold King Mine & Ghost Town. Though now destined to spend its years in the elements indefinitely, the galvanized steel body will help assure a fairly long existence.
Happy Truck Thursday!
In the midst of an overhaul, there are a lot of parts missing from the rear half of USSC 502. Among other things, the new prime mover is to the left and the locomotive's long hood is sitting on the ground off to the back right.
The shop tour was organized by the FEC Historical Society.
