April showers bring May flowers is how the old saying goes and shower it did on this particular afternoon soaking the area in a steady downpour of rain bringing with it not flowers, but a rather a train on the lightly used rails of Union Pacific's Peoria Subdivision. Here, two 4400 horsepower General Electric AC products dressed in the company's "Building America" scheme chug north through the interlocking at South Edelstein beneath the evening’s retreating storm clouds with WIMPRQ 22 and its 39 loaded gondolas of rip-rap rock. UP is taking advantage of its current lack of freight traffic due to PSR, the on-going COVID-19 pandemic and economic meltdown to capitalize on a variety maintenance projects across the system and this particular line has recently become a hotbed for “W” trains like these, seeing sometimes 2-3 of these movements daily. This Chicago-Proviso bound train originated south of St. Louis at the Fred Weber Inc. trap rock quarry in Iron Mountain, MO, loadout for many of the railroad's various rock trains. This is the former Chicago & Northwestern SI Line running between Nelson, IL and Springfield, IL.

This beauty was located in Honolulu, Hawaii, but I'm not sure if it's still there or not. Maybe it was renamed at some point, I don't know, but the marquee showing The Deluge dates this photo to 1933. Interestingly, the movie was the first end-of-the-world disaster movie ever made, according to IMDB. Here's the caption on the back of the photo:

Dear Mary Evelyn and All:
Here is a picture of one of our theaters. It is the main one. I have to walk about a mile to go to this one while only a couple of blocks to go to a branch theater. Love, Thom Holland.
To Miss Mary Evelyn Davis

Somewhat inspired by Dominic Bugatto's stuff. One from awhile ago but the tale is in the processing.

This is the King George post box set into the stone wall above Monsal Head, I think it's seen more than a few coats of paint over the years
The numbered posts along the auto route make for the perfect launch point for the low hovering Harriers to hunt from.

The Philippine Post Office Building, the center of Philippine postal services and the headquarters of the then-Bureau of Posts, was completed in its present-day Neo-Classical style in 1926, it was destroyed during World War II. It was rebuilt in 1946, after the war.
This image is based on an actual vehicle modelled by Oxford Diecast but with added Post Office crown. It depicts an interesting use for a war-surplus Bedford truck. The QLT was the troop-carrying variant of the Bedford QL range and featured a longer body than the more common general service version. In the early post-war years, Post Office Telephones operated a large fleet of former military vehicles. In the case of the QLT, its all-wheel drive be would have been ideal for linesmen engaged in infrastructure away from surfaced roads (updated 04-Aug-24).
