Heading north with a delivery for Peerless Confectionery, this Milwaukee Road train is traveling past the switch to the former Silver Star Storage and Milwaukee Road administrative building (at the NE corner of Fullerton and Southport) spurs-both out of service at this date.
This scene is between Wrightwood and Altgeld.
The three photos in this sequence were taken with a Kodak Hawkeye Instamatic using 126 film in a cartridge. Yes, I wish I upgraded to a 35mm camera sooner!
SEAS woofer & Peerless tweeter:
About the tweeter:
2-1/2" Tweeter 036-046
The 2-1/2" cone tweeter is made by Peerless in Denmark. It is identified as the Peerless MT-25. An alnico magnet is glued to a U-shaped yoke that is welded to the front plate of the magnet structure. The cone/coil assembly is very lightweight and doesn't even have a spider to center the voice coil. The cone is made of paper. The thin aluminum center dome weighs only 0.010 grams and radiates out to 20kHz.
This is the upper part of a nice Precambrian-Cambrian unconformity section in Manitou Springs, Colorado. The light-colored unit at top is a Lower Ordovician, shallow marine fossiliferous limestone unit called the Manitou Limestone. The dark reddish-colored rocks below are the Peerless Formation, which here consists of shallow marine quartzose sandstones with dolomite. The Manitou-Peerless contact is a disconformity.
Stratigraphy: Manitou Limestone (Lower Ordovician) over Peerless Formation (Upper Cambrian)
Locality: roadcut along the western side of Manitou Avenue (= Business Route 24), northwestern side of the town of Manitou Springs, west of Colorado Springs, western El Paso County, central Colorado, USA (38° 52’ 08.02” North latitude, 104° 55’ 31.83” West longitude)
One off aluminum body by Murphy. Last Peerless car the company switched to making Beer and changed the name to Carlings.

ACRS., 1975, Camellia News, No.58A, p.9, Reg. No.167: Originated by Edgar R. Sebire, Wandin North, Victoria, Australia. Seed parent Shôwa-no-sakae, first bloomed 1970. The bright, rose-pink, irregular, double, 9 cm flowers are produced on a vigorous, spreading, dense plant. Very early flowering. The olive-green ovate-elliptic, 7 cm x 5 cm leaves have blunt apices and fine serrations.
Built in Cleveland from 1901-1932. I passed six cars parked and had to turn around and come back to get some pictures. Don't know where they were going or had been but they were very cool!
A "Jane" inspired duo, but made my own. Learning to make a detailed face in watercolor and pencil, melded to a simplified matte paint body and background.
Light-colored rocks at top = Manitou Limestone
Dark-colored sandstone = Peerless Formation
Light-colored sandstone = Sawatch Sandstone
Pinkish rocks just above road level = Pikes Peak Granite
The rock record does not completely document Earth's history. In stratigraphic sections, missing time is represented by unconformities - surfaces of erosion and/or non-deposition of sediments. There are four types of unconformities: paraconformities, disconformities, nonconformities, and angular unconformities.
Seen here is the Precambrian-Cambrian unconformity at Manitou Springs, Colorado. The slightly tilted layers in the upper part of the photo are Ordovician and Cambrian sedimentary rocks. The underlying, non-layered, pinkish-colored rocks just above road level are part of the Pikes Peak Granite. About one-half a billion years is missing at the contact. Erosion surfaces such as this that have sedimentary rocks over igneous rocks are called nonconformities.
This contact is a megasequence boundary - the base of the Sauk Megasequence. Regionally recognizable packages of sedimentary rocks bounded by major unconformities are known as megasquences, or Sloss sequences (named after geologist L.L. Sloss, 1913-1996). The bounding unconformities were caused by erosion during regressions. Continental margins have more complete sedimentary successions, whereas craton interiors have more incomplete successions. The names for North America's megasequences are (from oldest to youngest): Sauk, Tippecanoe, Kaskaskia, Absaroka, Zuni, and Tejas.

P-3 Orion
The World Standard in Maritime Patrol Aircraft
The P-3 Orion is a peerless airborne hunter. Its reputation as the ultimate submarine finder was earned through
more than 45 years of service, from the Cuban Missile Crisis to round-the-clock, patrols throughout the Cold War.
With 435 aircraft in the worldwide fleet, the P-3 remains a relied-upon asset today and has proven to be remarkably
well adapted for maritime patrol and support in recent world events including Operation Unified Assistance in
Southeast Asia, Hurricane Katrina and the BP Horizon oil rig disaster in the U.S. No other aircraft is better
suited for these missions.

Clearly, Peerless was once a thriving town. It has several grain elevators. A big restaurant. Churches. A good size school. The problem is that when I was there most of those things seemed empty--abandoned, even. The church was overgrown. The school was clearly empty at a time when school should still have been in session. One of the elevators is falling down (though the others seem used). The big restaurant was listed for sale and seemed totally devoid of life. And there were far more abandoned homes than ones that are lived in. Peerless was very very quiet. I had to wonder what happened here, that so many people left? This place used to have plenty of amenities. But when I was there the only activity I saw was a tumbleweed blowing across main street.
"Peerless was originally a development of the Great Northern Railroad. It appears that Peerless once went by the name of Tande or Battleson, but because of the popularity of a local beer the name was changed to Peerless...Dutch Henry's Bar...is a namesake of an outlaw who roamed these parts in the late 1800s. A display of photos on the walls tells quite a bit about the history of the surrounding area. The original town, settled in 1914, was a few miles away. Like many other places in northeast Montana, the laying of the railroad bed required the town to be moved to the railroad." -travelmt.com

In 1914, with war looming, the Sturmey-Archer factory turned to making armaments and an agreement was signed with Sears Roebuck USA, to allow them use of Sturmey-Archers US patents. Sears paid 500 Pounds and a royalty of each hub produced. The USA produced hubs were branded type “S” but were identical to the F type hub produced in England

Lo-fi anamorphic test. Shot using a Canon S90 through an old Chretien Hypergonar 35mm projection anamorphic adaptor, then expanded 2:1 and converted to B&W in Photoshop. No flash was used.
