"Oriental Quad"
Four men on a bicycle for four. My restoration and colorization of George H. van Norman´s 1898 photo in the Library of Congress archive.
The Classic Space Bubble Quad was a fast and fun way to travel across the moon. Its big tyres and independent suspension could easily cope with the deepest craters or roughest moon rocks. The bubble canopy afforded unrivalled visibility, though nobody ever worked out where the door was...

SHOW SET SHOTS

As soon as they stepped on stage they unleashed a dose of energy!!!
it was a magnificent show!
KCS 2971 leads CPKC's KD70 near the Water Works on Davenport's east side after returning from a run up the Eldridge Branch. They will cool their heels here for a little bit while 252 heads north with a KCS ACe just out of view to the right.
KCS road power is a common sight on the former CP side of the railroad now. However, the local power is still quite segregated. 2971 is one of the first KCS geep to hold down a regular assignment up here. When I returned a week later, KCS 2847 also appeared. It's only a matter of time before the geeps get as mixed as the road power and this is just the beginning of a lot of change to come. So enjoy those multiple unit KCS locals while you can, because the solo ECO's invasion is coming.

While passing through the Quad Cities on I-80, I saw a heads up on here referencing the train seen here rolling through Cammanche. After some quick real-life math class work in my head, I figured that it'd be hitting Le Claire about the same time that I would, and I was not wrong!
My wife dropped me off to run up the hill to the gas station, and just about that time, this great looking KCS Tier IV GEVO came around the corner towards me! This is a 760 train that runs as needed with auto racks from Cottage Grove, MN (SW of the Twin Cities) to IFG in KCMO along the old KCS mainline.
The Belle may be out of place here on the old Milwaukee Road main, but no more so than SOO or CP, and so long as it's looking good, I'll take it! Soon enough, they'll all be gone. For future reference, this was at MP 179.12 in Le Claire, and for those unaware of the geography, the Mississippi River is about 50 yards to my right.

DME 4006 leads a northbound local underneath the Iowa Interstate on its way to Le Claire and Clinton.
With 50+ MPH winds blowing, hard enough to knock anyone down, CN's Quad Local goes about its' business near the east end of Byron, WI. CN's locals are blessed with all kinds of neat second hand motive power, as this ex-DT&I and MoPac lash can attest to
Able to move each wing independently most dragonflies are energetic flyers, hunting, feeding, and mating in the air. But the scarlet skimmer frequently perches near a water source. This beautiful female skimmer found a lofty vantage point to survey the surrounding wetland. She will eat copious amounts of mosquitoes, flies, midges, and other flying insects every day. One of the first insects to inhabit the planet, fossilized dragonflies have been dated to 300 million years ago.
