The Pittsburgh & Lake Erie’s influence over the Pittsburgh, Chartiers & Youghiogheny Railway evident in the PC&Y’s rolling stock. Rebranded black P&LE SW9’s pulled trains that were trailed by ex-P&LE cabooses, such as this one seen at McKees Rocks..
The Penske PC-10 is a CART Penske Racing car which was constructed for competition in the 1982 season. Designed by Geoff Ferris, it is considered possibly the most dominant Penske race car design ever and that from a team that typically dominated. Rick Mears has been quoted as acknowledging this was his favorite racecar chassis ever.
The PC-10s were driven for Roger Penske by Rick Mears and Kevin Cogan in the Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART) Series in 1982. Mears campaigned the car as the GOULD CHARGE car (red-blue-white), and in which he again won the CART Championship. It carried number 1 when Mears drove it as he was also the previous year's champion in 1981. However, he narrowly loses the Indianapolis 500 to Gordon Johncock in one of the closest, most exciting finishes in the race’s history. Johncock defeats Mears by 0.16 second.
With less than 20 laps to go, during Mears' final pit stop, the crew filled the entire tank rather than giving him only the amount he needed to finish. The delay left him more than 11 seconds behind Gordon Johncock. Mears made up the difference when Johncock suffered handling problems, but failed to secure the win. The photo finish stood for 10 years as the closest finish to an Indy 500.
Almost predictably, Johncock felt the handling of his car begin to deteriorate again as had happened over the years. His left rear tire was overheating, causing it to expand and thus make the car "push" through the turns. Mears began to close on Johncock at the rate of one second per lap.
"I was running as hard as I could go," Johncock said later. "I was looking in my mirror every lap and I could see Mears coming. I thought, 'Yep, here it is again.' " On the last lap, in Turn 3, I almost lost it; all four tires were below the white line."
Coming off the final turn, Mears chased Johncock down the straight toward the checkered flag. Mears swung out in a final, desperate attempt to slingshot past, but Johncock crossed the finish line slightly more than a car length ahead. As measured by the clock his margin was .16 of a second. It was the closest finish, and perhaps the most exciting, in the 66-year history of the 500.
Not the greatest shot but a Penn Central SD45 and two F7's roll a short train at Calumet Ave. in Hammond in 1975. The east end of Colehour Yard is at left and the old Indian Hill and Iron Range car dumpper is at the right.

Zeltweg, 19 June 1997.
Austria received 14 Pilatus PC-6s. Eight are still in service in 2021.
The photo was taken at Zeltweg (Austria) one day before the airshow in 1997.
Our first really bright day of winter so far. As is often the case - near the car park.
I was lucky to see this one catch a fish and get lots of shots.
Today I’m shifting gears back to geekier stuff! You may recognize this mini computer build from a set I released earlier this year (My Old Desktop: DOS Edition). However, it was actually developed as an ornament first and adapted later for the desk set. It’s a fun, intricate build with an almost perfect center of gravity, keeping it level as it hangs on your tree! Guide at chrismcveigh.com
