Soo Line 730, a 4-6-2 built by Alco in 1904, sits undercover next to the Canadian National yard in Gladstone, Michigan.
Oakway SD60 9099 was leading an eastbound coal drag into the super-elevated curve in Gladstone on the Burlington Northern's Ottumwa Subdivision back in 1996.
OWY/EMDX 9099 was sold to the Canadian National and repainted into CN paint as 5442.

The Soo Line’s roundhouse in Gladstone, Michigan is only two stalls in this 1986 view. Although I’m sure that the structure had quite a few more stalls in its heyday, today none of them are left. The unusual “ramp track” puzzled me when I processed this photo, but then I realized that another photo shows a wheel car out of sight to the right. Apparently, wheelsets were rolled off the car and down this ramp.
They redid the siding of the building a few years ago but kept the great old neon sign. Now if only they would replace the neon tubing.
This is the only hotel in this small iconic town that has adopted a Happy Rock as its symbol, a play on its formal name. If you enlarge the picture, you can see one version of the Happy Rock character on the Pepsi sign over the hotel door on the right side.
I love London!
~ A beautiful part of the Bow heritage trail, a two-hour history walk
I joined on Saturday 24th November, following the 'Battling Belles
of Bow', the Suffragettes in the East End led by Sylvia Pankhurst,
as part of The Women's Library study programme.
~ This statue of William Gladstone was erected by Theodore Bryant
in 1882, and is one of the few statues erected while the person was
still alive. The statue was splashed with red paint in 1988 as a tribute
to the Match girls. It was recently cleaned but has again had red paint
thrown its way.
This red paint is apparently due to a story told by Annie Besant that the
match girls "paid for this with our blood." However, local historian
Rosemary Taylor has ascertained that the original bloodletting took
place before the statue was ever erected. Opposite the present Bow
Road DLR station there was a very large drinking fountain that had been
erected in 1872 commemorating the abolition of the proposed match tax.
Bryant & May got all of their workers to pay a shilling towards the fountain
and the women cut their wrists in protest.

On our way back west to Pennsylvania, we opted to swing by the Gladstone Branch in Bernardsville on the way home. Switch issues at Summit caused three westbounds to bunch up, passing through town at 10 minute headways. We've criminally undershot both Arrow MUs and the Gladstone Branch in general, so we were glad for a chance to rectify that here. Here, train 429 pulls into town.
This shot of HMAS Gladstone in its namesake city is slightly illusionary. It seems to be in the water but is actually sitting on support cradles above the water line. This certainly reduces deterioration and maintenance. Gladstone is a Fremantle class ship and was laid down (commenced construction) in Cairns on 7 March 1983 and decommissioned on 13 March 2007.. It had a long and interesting history which you can read about here.

Stoke on Trent used to be the capital of the UK pottery industry, its landscape dotted with the characteristic "bottle" kilns. One of them has been preserved as aworking museum and it is a terrific place. We were breaking our journey north and could have spent hours there
Some extra angles on this wonderful site

This statue of Gladstone by Albert Bruce-Joy and erected in 1882, stands near the front gate of St. Marys Church in Bow, London. Paid for by the industrialist Theodore Bryant, it is viewed as a symbol of the later 1888 match girls strike, which took place at the nearby Bryant & May Match Factory. Led by the socialist Annie Besant, hundreds of women working in the factory, where many sickened and died from poisoning from the white phosphorus used in the matches, went on strike to demand improved working conditions and pay, eventually winning their cause. In recent years, the statue of Gladstone has been repeatedly daubed with red paint, suggesting that it was paid for with the "blood of the match girls". (Wikipedia)

One of the very few surviving coal-fired potteries in the UK.
This view of the courtyard shows the impressive bottle kilns.
Now a museum and well worth a visit.

The main street of Gladstone,in the mid north of South Australia.Very quiet as it was on a Sunday morning.
A quick run by the Wisconsin Central yard while exiting Gladstone, Mi. finds a motley assortment of power completing their air test.
I sure wish we could shoot that today, a chopped former Algoma Central GP7 followed by a GP40, F45 and pair of SDL39's - looking back maybe I should have headed for Green Bay that morning of July 30, 2001.
