The site of today’s Victoria Park Markets was once the central refuse collection area for Auckland City. Disposal of refuse was a pungent city issue throughout the latter part of the 19th century. In the 1870s collection was contracted out and dumping occurred ‘out of the sight and smell of citizens’. In the 1890s however, citizens were required to dispose of their own rubbish and vacant allotments became convenient, informal tips. Fear of the bubonic plague in 1900 prompted the council to consider a municipal refuse destruction plant and in 1904 a tender of £16,840 was accepted from J Barre Johnston Ltd of Sydney for the construction of a Meldrum destructor, completed in 1905.
The complex of polychromatic brick construction included the council’s Works’ Depot, blacksmith’s and carpenter’s shops, stables and a 38m high chimney. Alfred Wrigg (City Engineer from 1899 to 1906) probably supervised construction. He was also responsible for supervising the Auckland electric trams and for paving Queen Street with asphalt.
The capacity of the destructor was increased during the 1920s and 1930s, but by 1960, as controlled dumping grew in popularity, it was disposing of a mere 10% of the city’s rubbish. The plant was closed in 1972 and it was subsequently converted into the Victoria Park Markets.
As Auckland grew, so did its requirement for electricity. The council was vested with the public supply of electricity by the Auckland City Electric Lighting Act 1900 and an Australian engineer, W T G Goodman, was employed to report on the feasibility of using the destructor to generate electricity in 1906. His proposals were accepted, although he criticised the council for failing to incorporate a generating plant in the original design, despite a series of earlier reports endorsing the potential of electricity.
The electrical contract was won by Turnbull & Jones for £11,808. The cost subsequently escalated with revisions in potential demand and the provision of additional boilers and new feeders. In 1908, electricity was provided to the first 12 customers. Within four months demand exceeded supply and coal was used to supplement the burning of rubbish. It was replaced in 1913 by the Kings Wharf coal fired power station, again built by the council.

I'd like to think this was originally kept in the same family. Actually just assuming but it looks like it's loved that way. Drove by and again had to back it up and get a snap. So very Texas :D

The 11th Generation of Ford’s Thunderbird was offered during model years 2002-2005.

It was styled to be reminiscent of the First Generation of Model years 1955-1957. I think that the connection is lost with the appearance of the headlights and the grille. The original headlights stand and lean forward, creating an appearance of being poised to jump forward. The headlights on the newer version lean backward to create a more passive appearance. The grille on the newer model projects far forward so that the created visage resembles one of being startled and bewildered.

I usually do not photograph a vehicle that has its hood/bonnet open, but an open door is somewhat different to me!

37 years separate the build dates of these two locomotives. The U25C ushered GE into the 6 axle diesel electric locomotive market in the United States, and by the 80's they were number 1 in that field. Thousands upon thousands of engines followed 2501 out the doors of the GE Erie Plant, including 1015 in 2001.
A few units from the gap between these still ply LS&I rails in the form of a pair of Ex-BN U30C's and C30-7's, making this a very unique operation.
