As they continue up the line they pass through the quaint little town of Schofield. Before too much further the train would arrive at Skyline and would come back after it was loaded to follow back to the mainline at Colton, UT 11.12.06
As I paid attention to the light and shadows on the bridge, a man entered, walking his dog. That was a lucky addition!
Cleveland architect Levi Tucker Schofield designed many famous buildings in Ohio. His work includes the Mansfield Reformatory, The Soldiers' & Sailors' Monument, and the Schofield Building in downtown Cleveland.
This is for my 52 Frame project. This week's assignment is "Unexplored". Here is one of the many alleys that I walk past when I come to and from work. I ventured partway in to get a shot of the Terminal Tower and saw someone taking their break. She was going to move away so that I could get a shot without a person there. I let her know that I didn't mind her being there, so she stayed.
The number of former Lincolnshire Roadcar vehicles still in service with Stagecoach is starting to dwindle now, with it now being 10 years since the Stagecoach purchased the Yorkshire Traction group, of which Roadcar was a part of.
Here in the sunshine today we see East Lancs Vyking bodied Volvo B7TL, FX53TXC. This bus was new to Roadcar in February 2004 as fleet number 909. It became 16909 with Stagecoach, and is currently painted in an adapted version of Stagecoach livery for Inter Connect services operated in partnership to Lincolnshire County Council.
This photo was taken on High Street in Lincoln, the bus is on service 1 to Wellingore, a village on the A607 between Lincoln and Grantham. I was stood where the old level crossing used to be for St Marks railway station, the main station building for which is just out of shot. The pedestrianised Station Street to the left of the bus was originally one of two vehicle entrances for St Marks bus station, which was demolished in 1995.
This photo is a darkroom print from a 120 negative, using Fomapan 100 film. I used a late 40s French Aiglon brand camera. Surprisingly good sharpness for a pseudo TLR camera. The paper I used is old Ilford paper taken from a used pack, and the dark part at the top of the print had been exposed to light. But I think it works well.

Here is the almost sole efforts of my bus restoration work for the last 18 months, ECW bodied Leyland Olympian, B503FFW. This bus was purchased by the Lincolnshire Vintage Vehicle Society (LVVS) from Johnson's of Hodthorpe near Worksop in late 2014. Ihad previously been operated by Stagecoach East Midlands, who inherited the vehicle from original owners Lincolnshire Roadcar.
I have a personal attachment to this bus as it was new into service on my 11th birthday, and is also one of the few preserved buses that I have driven in service. It is seen here on Station Street in Nottingham, I had driven the bus there from Lincoln and dropped myself off. Fellow LVVS member Andy Moore took over the driving, and the bus was later on display at an event at Ruddington.
This was our first brand new Foden when we bought it in 1967, I think it cost £6000 from Stanley Hughes at Cleckheaton. This Foden still exists as far as I know, we kept it for 17 years. In 2008 some one called Jim Sale owned it. We have a similar 6 wheeler but older buried in our yard, 892 CWW, the pair of them used to carry scrap steel to the famous Skiningrove steelworks a 220 mile round trip, a full days work back then.
Seen her after a chassis spray and having had a second hand ali body fitted, hooray no (very heavy) tailboard to remove umpteen times a day anymore. A Ford D series six wheeler with a V8 donated the body, I think we sold the Ford on.
