The Standard Ten was a model name given to several small cars produced by the British Standard Motor Company between 1906 and 1961. The name was a reference to the car's fiscal horsepower or tax horsepower, a function of the surface area of the pistons. This 1934 Standard 10, WF 6766, is seen arriving at the Pre-War Prescott event on 11th September 2021.
A nice standard-cab consist on this particular afternoon's version of Bloomington-to-Decatur train D36, including SD40E 6329 (ex-CR SD50 6762) and GP60 7108, seen approaching the north end of the siding at Lodge, Illinois. For the time being, the former Wabash searchlights still stand here and a few other places on this, Norfolk Southern's Bloomington District.

NS 8817 leads a very late 211 through one of the few secluded areas near metro Atlanta on a brisk September evening.
eastern Standard Time is a favourite by The Skatalites. I went to a rum and reggae night in Cardiff last night, it was great fun. I would have preferred a few more older classics but iot was great to see so many people all enjoying reggae. I'm coming to the end of my adder obsession and now am in the middle of y High brown Fritillary larval obsession. It's going really well I'veseen well over thirty, and good numbers in all the areas we've done management for them. Hopefully it should mean it'llbe a good year for the adults. This was a photo from earlier in the year in changeable weather, which is what we're in a spell of at the moment.
It's always nice to have a standard cab leader, especially on the point of an intermodal. This day's CN X120 heads east towards Montreal through the shadows at Newtonville Rd. near Port Granby, ON.
A pair of SD60's lead priority intermodal train Q148 through the signals at Hardy Road in Brantford.
Gold Standard. Hmmm. I am always suspicious of self promotion. Best Burger in town, best coffee, pizza, poutine in town. These are statements, which I do not put much faith in. I did not try. They may be the best, but sometimes GS is just BS. This store is selling $6 sandwiches. Not expensive for Toronto, but nothing special, nothing I could not make at home.

CN 2124 and CN 2126 lead CN 148 through Copetown West. With CN selling off and scrapping the majority of their C40-8 fleet, getting this pair was a must do.
A triplet of CSX standard cabs, lead by CSX 8881, lead Q507 south past the B&O CPL at Troy, OH. Q507 takes the place of Q511, and makes the run from Detroit Rougemere to Cincinnati Queensgate, with blocks of cars bound for AK Steel.
After dumping ballast at Sanborn, this trio of standard cabs race this ballast train east towards Waseca. Powering this train is CP SD40-2s 6017 & 6073 and ECO 5025, right by downtown Sleepy Eye (4/25/2025)
I took a white rose from a bunch of roses I bought at the weekend and put it in a black ceramic bottle and placed it in front of a standard lamp with a red lampshade.
TRRA took over the provision of power for the Madison-to-Lindenwood Turn from BNSF just a bit too late for the switch back to Central Standard Time, as it does every year about this time. Nevertheless, good results can be had. Here, westbound T201 takes the signal at Grand Blvd in St. Louis, on its way to BNSF.
Seen at the Classic Car & Bike Meet at Towcester Racecourse in Northamptonshire on 14 July 2021 is this 1958 Standard Pennant.
First registered in April 1958.
This was a gift from a Russian friend. I'm not much of a drinker so it's been sitting around for over a year - unopened! But I hear it's best served right out of the freezer with a couple of close buddies ;-)
With the coming of the equinox, the Dogwoods are blooming in the spring weather as eastbound NS freight train 18M rumbles out of Huger Tunnel with its usual gaggle of motive power on the point, including the standard cab GE leading on the afternoon of April 25, 2015, near Superior, WV.
NR55. NR12 and NR90 pass through Cullerin with 4BM4 bound for Melbourne, and hopefully a wash!

BR Standard class 2 2-6-0 nos. 78019 & 78018 catch the afternoon sun as they pass Woodthorpe heading 1A26, the 13.15 departure from Loughborough Central to Leicester North, during the GCR 'Last Hurrah' steam Gala.
Eastern Standard Time is a favourite Skatalites track, and as these are the eastern fells of the Lakes it's fine. I was so lucky to get such lovely views. Took me back to all my winter climbs and walks .
The JY local passes over the Hi Line Bridge in Valley City. Figured it would be worth a shot with the longer train this time around.
A standard cab SD60 approaches North End Morgantown in Bowling Green, Kentucky on CSX Q211. The siding here is being extended to 4 miles long, as a part of the Summer 2016 project for the Mainline Subdivison to be able to handle DPU-trains. Three sidings were extended, Cave City, Morgantown (renamed to Bowling Green), and Mitchellville. Bowling Green was extended to the south end of Memphis Junction Yard, and a new control point was added, Memphis Junction CP. At South End Bowling Green, double crossovers were added.
Just another frame of this final surprise of last summer's trip.
Having bid goodbye to John down in Springfield Frank and I had one last night just us and a half a day left before departing home to opposite sides of the continent. Our last morning dawned clear and dry and as it would turn out the railfan gods had one final surprise in store for us. After a fun morning enjoying Santa Fe Junction for the last time and with only 90 minutes left on the clock we headed toward the West Bottoms. I still wanted a really nice morning lit shot along the UP and when we drove by I was astonished to see a standard cab leader on the point of an eastbound holding west of Hickory Street (CPK001) beside State Line Yard on Main 3 strung out across the Kansas River on the old Missouri Pacific bridge.
In short order the Knoche Yard bound transfer behind UP 1566 (EMD SD40-2 blt. Nov. 1976 as CNW 6928) and 1958 (EMD GP60 blt. Sep. 1989 as SSW 9656) got the light and they were underway across town on Union Pacific's KC Metro Sub .
