We are facing eastward underneath the railroad approach to the MacArthur bridge across the Mississippi River. What’s interesting about this is that the support for the pavement portion of the approach in this area has just been removed. Thanks for a view. One remaining portion of that structure is visible down the line.
A westbound CP autorack is just west of Woodstock, Ontario with St. Lawrence and Hudson lettered SD40-2 5593 leading GE 9833 on November 12, 2010.
Here is the combined Missouri River Runner/Lincoln Service swinging through this hilly curve near Kingsville, MO on the UP Sedalia Subdivision.
The venture coaches may look cool, but try sitting in one for 16 hours. You might wonder what exactly Amtrak was thinking with these. The seats barely recline and are pretty uncomfortable. However, the bathrooms are much nicer than the previous fleet.
Also, has anyone heard of flashing headlights? This one alternated flashing along with the ditch lights. Speaking of flaws with the chargers, I heard they don't do great in the cold. That makes one wonder if that has to do with all the cancellations of trains that operate with chargers.
To sum things up, shoot the P42s. They may look crappy, but nothing looks as hideous as this. They will be gone before we know it.
Obviously I didn't take this photo, but I took this photo of the photo so that I could clean it up. It shows my husband's grandfather "Boots" (on the left), who, at that time, was a fireman for the NC&StL out of Nashville, Tennessee. He later became an engineer. Taken late 1930s to early 1940s.
Here is Steelers' DV-9 rifle, "pointsevenified" (new word!). Thanks go to Duke for yet another use of his SL-8 stock.

Thoughts?
I do like to photograph bridges and especially with long exposures. This is an example of the Musial Bridge over the Mississippi River at St. Louis. Though I've broken every rule in the composition book, I love the bridge at the mid-point equally dividing the water and the sky.
this guy in the background was looking at my camera in every pic and i took them randomly throughout the game. new bf? lmao
A remarkable chance to get three STL type buses together was possible today. STL2692 dating from 1946 leads 971J (STL1470) dating from 1936 and STL441 dating from 1934 stand near Matching Green in some lovely winter sunshine.
Weymann High & Lowbridge - STL2692 & RLH29 at Chiswick Gala.2/7/83. Although a good collection of London buses was assembled here I was disappointed not to find any Red STLs present.
The STL class was introduced by London General in 1932 and continued production until 1939. STL 441 was built after the formation of London Transport. Originally fitted with a petrol engine, it received a diesel engine in 1939. In 1948 in the body was rebuilt, but the bus was finally withdrawn in 1952.
In 1953 she was sold to a Dutch museum, but was purchased by the London Bus Museum in 1974. Following several years of operation by the LBM, a further full restoration was necessary, being completed in 2007. It is now presented in the post-war 1948 rebuild form. (onlineweb.com)
