It's no secret that CN has an abundance of second-hand lease power on the property to fill their underpowered roster. PRLX SD75M 211 is seen here heading a 6 car, money making M39161 thru the quiet village of Morrice, MI., passing the slow-falling Meal and More elevator site. Time may be running out on the beloved lease units as new CN GE power comes online. A photo is worth a thousand words, the old saying goes, and this one is no exception. A well timed heads up and quick flash set up from good friend and fellow photographer, Kyle Korienek allowed me this shot.

MCW Metropolitan at Showbus event Woburn Bedfordshire September 1986. New to London Transport in 1976 as MD14. Originally dual-door converted to single-door in centre nearside as a moblie home.
The Sun Tower, in Vancouver, BC; 1965 at the latest. The signage was removed in December 1965, when the newspaper moved.
Mount is stamped "Jul 71." Most likely Ridgewood, New Jersey: there was a Perdue's Sport Shop in Ridgewood, and the internet is silent about any others.
A Union Railroad SW1200 and Conrail SW1500 appear to be ready for service at Oak Island Yard. In reality, the URR unit was heading for eventual scrapping at Naporano Iron & Metal a short distance away. The SW1200 was built in December 1954 for the Florida East Coast Railway and was acquired by the Union in 1972. The Conrail unit is also working for its second owner, as it was built for the Penn Central.

Did you start singing? Greatest song of all time. Stamped December, 1978. I don't know if it's Disneyland or Disney World, sorry.

This very heavily embroidered piece of cloth I found last weekend at a thrift store. Now that it is washed and dried, it looks stunning.
The former West Yorkshire PTE fleet provided four MCW Metrobuses, two with Alexander RH bodies, and two to MCW's Mk2 design.
M1451 was the second of the latter style and like the rest of the secondhand Metrobuses, was put out to grass at Potters Bar. It is seen here after losing the black skirted livery for standard London Buses scheme in this view.
I'm wrapping up scanning on a batch of about 2,500 slides I bought on eBay, and it seems as if half of them came from one single family. By no means did I scan them all -- it seems as if the photographer shot as many as (s)he liked, indiscriminately, with little concern for the costs of film and development. Based on what I could discern, that would have been a minor cost to them. I know the town they lived in, I saw the size of their parties, and I saw where they vacationed, their camps: they were not middle class. But something which struck me was the nature of the Christmas presents that were exchanged: many of them seemed homemade or simple, not really mass-manufactured toys. I think that's an interesting contrast. (Frame is stamped "Nov 77.")
Scenic, South Dakota; one of the former businesses along the main street of Scenic. The town was founded around the turn of the 20th century as a railroad and ranching town. The railroad discontinued operations some years ago leading to the decline and eventual abandonment of the town. Some of the
businesses along the main street (highway) were open as recently as the early 2010's. Now the town is empty, and the old buildings are deteriorating.
