Out today benching freights at one of my spots. Wanted to go Saturday, rained all day. No rain on Sunday and it looked like the sun was going to come out. NOPE. It got down to 44 degrees Fahrenheit. All I had was a thin Dickies jacket. My hands were cold, my feet were freezing, it was pretty bad. Yeah, I know 44F. isn't all that cold. Well here in California 44 is pretty damn low.
Was there for about an hour or so before security rolled up on the other side of 3 sets of tracks with roof lights flashing. Turned his truck to face me. I sat down and ignored him. I looked over again and he was gone. 30 mins. later here he comes rolling up on me on the same side of the tracks I was on. I was sure he was going to hassle me. He just wanted to know what I was doing out there. Told me to stay safe, and left...
Finished up my day frozen and shivering could barely feel my toes. Walked back to the car. Just as I got to the car I could hear another train coming. Seems like this always happens. Looked over as about 10-15 cars passed by. Oh well. Got in the car and headed down the road, and realized, I can beat this train to another spot where I could catch some flicks. So I did..
Stay safe out there friends !!!

The COLOR TV by RCA signs were widely seen on many motel signs across the USA in the 60s and 70s and beyond. This tribute sign I made last month out of wood. its measures in at 48" x 9-1/4". Its a little longer than the real sign.
The 'by RCA' letters were traced off the computer screen from the real sign. Then a stencil was cut out and the letters transfered to a 1/8th" thick piece of hardwood. The letters were then cut out with a scroll saw.
The COLOR TV letters are just basic stock letters that Michaels Arts & Crafts has.
The colors are what the actual plastic blow mold sign colors were. Rustoleum Painter's Choice was the paint used.
Johnny West is ready to get his new duds applied. His head is taped up and ready for painting. I use Rust-Oleum spray paint that can be used safely on plastics.
Sonni painted an entire building next to highway to llke a Ginormous Boombox. Check out the telephone pole and the guy sitting in the shadow (on the left side) for scale.
Sick!

The IR train is working the Behr scrapyard behind the former Testors paint and glue-favorites with modelers-building in Rockford which is now empty and vandalized.
The IR train is on the CN Freeport Subdivision which it uses to cross the Rock River and to switch Behr since the former CB&Q line was severed in 2012 and the diamond removed. The former CB&Q line remnant is used by IR to access Behr and by Behr's own in-plant switcher.
Testors was serviced at one time by the Illinois Central off the West Belt which joined the mainline where the IR train sits in the picture. The building hosted a seed company prior to Testors. Testors is now owned by Rustoleum and production continues across the street in a newer plant but it is truck served.
Got out today, 10-09-2021 at about 9:30AM.. Hiked out to one of my spots, and then hiked out to a few spots I've never been out to before. There's so many cool areas around here. I need to find a spot where all four rails come together. As it is now, there's two busy rails, one kinda busy and another that many one or two freight roll by during the time I'm there. Two tracks together, one about a 1/4 mile away, and another about 1/2 mile away. I can't just be running between all of them. I'm too old and slow. Caught some wall graff I hadn't seen before, and also hit up a bunch of my usual spots, and saw all the changes that had taken place since the last time I'd been out there. Reminder: Pick up your fucking cans/trash. Keep throwin' your shit out there and they'll start crackin' down! It's a beautiful area. Let's keep it that way.
After straightening and fixing photos from the 9th, it's already 10-21, and I'm doubting I'll be able to get out again before the end of the month. Is this what happens when you're back to work. Benching once a month? This sucks.
As always, thanks to the writers! Stay safe out there!!

Decided to go out Saturday because the weather was supposed to be cooler, and cloudy. Well it was cooler 85f. But zero clouds. I swear I'm going to move to a state that has clouds.
Got to my first spot, and found out they have now fenced the entrance path to the spot. A GIANT field with a path leading to my spot is not completely fenced. forcing me to walk about an mile out of my way to get to the spot. Yeah, I could have easily jumped the fence, walked through and jumped the next fence. There was so much traffic in the area I could just walk around. I need the exercise anyway.
The long walk to my spot took me pretty close to one of my favorite bridge spots, so I decided to hike up a bit and see what was new. A few new pieces and a few old favorites that were still there, un-touched. Those are in today's upload as well.
Got to my spot finally. This spot has a homeless "issue" but I've had nothing but pleasant interactions with anyone who's approached me. Mostly I think they are just curious what I'm doing out there for 5-6 hours standing around in one spot. As soon as I say "the trains.." they always go "oh, cool." So every time I go there I always take inventory of all of the people who are out there so I know where to keep an eye out. Got there at like 10:15AM and I see a guy coming out from under a tree about 200' away. Moving slow, and carrying a box. Moving the box from one place to another, then another box, etc. I'm not worried about this person.
About an hour into my session, I see a guy walking along in the wash below.. Looks about 60-65, with no shirt, and is about as tan as you can get. This guy has obviously been in the desert sun for a while. After a couple of minutes he gets to me, throws out his hand and introduces himself as "Jeff". Asks how I'm doing and what I'm doing out there. I said "the trains" and he nods. Says he's headed up to the gas station down the tracks and up the road, and asks if I want him to bring me something to drink. "nah, I'm good", "OK, see ya'" Oh, forgot to mention, Jeff had a fixed blade knife about 12" long strapped to the front of his belt. I also carry a knife when I go out, just in-case so I understood his carrying of a knife and seeing it didn't faze me.
Spent about 4 hours at that spot, and hit up another spot on the way home and flicked some other amazing pieces.
Was a great day out, and I had fun. Isn't that what it's all about!!? I even managed to flick some pieces from some of my favorite writes I haven't seen before!
Also witnessed a procession of like 100 Honda Groms and other motorcycles rolling by: youtu.be/H4uLI_EupHU
Thanks to all of the writers and fellow benchers. Stay safe out there. Look both ways before crossing!!

A quick piece to check out the rustoleum. Maybe not as precise as I would like. Had to use the stock caps on the Rusto, it didn't like anything else.
The paint and colours are butter but the consistency changed from tin to tin.
Big ups to Skare... sorry for your loss bro. Also to my peeps King Fuzz, Disk, Tors, Fate, kash, Equal, Sur, Teazer and my RFK boys.
On another note - new book out on the NYC subway system in the 70's - Making all stops. There's a few cars in there I've never seen before and a buch of great shots of the NYC system, including yards etc... I love it!
Google that shit!
