The Skidbladner
Heber Valley Railroad 2936 is a restored vintage 56-seat passenger coach originally built by the Budd Company for the New York Central. The car was later converted to a 28-seat parlor car for use on Chessie steam specials, and later on the Morristown & Erie.
The car was recently repainted in D&RGW inspired livery. All stainless steel surfaces were restored and polished by hand. The car will offer premium seating on a high-end streamlined passenger train, with an option for cheese and wine tasting.
The streamlined goosander is a handsome bird and a great fisher - its long, serrated bill helps it to catch and hold its slippery fish prey. It nests in riverbank trees, but can be seen on lakes and reservoirs in winter.
A yardang is a streamlined protuberance carved from bedrock or any consolidated or semiconsolidated material by the dual action of wind abrasion by dust and sand, and deflation which is the removal of loose material by wind turbulence. Yardangs become elongated features typically three or more times longer than wide, and when viewed from above, resemble the hull of a boat. Facing the wind is a steep, blunt face that gradually gets lower and narrower toward the lee end.[2] Yardangs are formed by wind erosion, typically of an originally flat surface formed from areas of harder and softer material. The soft material is eroded and removed by the wind, and the harder material remains. The resulting pattern of yardangs is therefore a combination of the original rock distribution, and the fluid mechanics of the air flow and resulting pattern of erosion.

The Skidbladner
Budd streamlined cars have been a regular sight in the shadow of Denver Union Station for 34 years, but this is the last day that they will be here. Today, they are owned by Amtrak, and tonight, a different California Zephyr than the one these cars were built for will take them east toward Beech Grove. They will never be used in intercity service again.

Union Pacific 900075
Steam Rotary Snow Plow
UP 900075 is a steam-powered rotary snow plow. It is effectively a giant snow blower, with its steam engine – housed entirely within the streamlined car body for easier maintenance in winter conditions – powering a large blade at the front that throws snow to the side of the tracks. It is not self-propelled and was designed to be pushed by a locomotive. Diesel-powered rotary snow plows are still employed by railroads but the last steam-powered rotary plow was retired in the 1970s.
Electro-Motive 1982
Amtrak 945
AEM-7 main line passenger locomotive
Amtrak 945 is an 11,000 volt electric passenger locomotive built in LaGrange, Illinois. It is the fastest locomotive at IRM. It was designed for a maximum speed of 125mph, which it would reach in service on the Northeast Corridor between Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington DC. It was retired in 2018 and acquired by IRM, where it is preserved as a static display.
PC&F 1975
Milwaukee Road 992300
NE Caboose
Milwaukee Road 992300 is a standard railroad caboose designed for general freight service over the Milwaukee Road system. It has a widened (or “extended vision”) centered cupola on the roof to provide the conductor better visibility over his train.
GE 1960
Union Pacific 18
D-E Turbine A Unit 8500 GTEL
Union Pacific 18 is an example of the most powerful locomotive ever built in America. Rated at 10,000hp, it consists of the cab unit; the main power unit containing a turbine engine, similar to a jet engine, numbered 18B; and a tender to carry fuel for the turbine. The railroad designed these locomotives specifically to pull freight trains between Omaha, Nebraska and Ogden, Utah and 18 is one of only two in preservation. Their poor fuel economy and high maintenance costs of the turbine led to their retirement in the late 1960s.
The above texts all come from the IRM website.
National Train Day was a marketing thing that Amtrak came up with. They had some interesting displays of equipment at Union Station in Chicago. They quit it because they didn't have the budget for it. But, as usual, things created by the government never truly fade away. 😜
Here are some pictures I took at Union Station in 2010.

Male Ringed Teal in Regents Park.
The Ringed Teal is native to Paraguay, Uruguay, northern Argentina and southern Brazil, it is a small teal that is very easy to maintain in captivity on a basic waterfowl diet. When it was first available to aviculture it was considered delicate and only suitable for maintaining in a tropical house. Over many successive generations the Ringed Teal has adapted to Captivity and become very hardy and can easily withstand a UK winter with no requirement for additional protection provided some open water can be maintained. The Ringed Teal is not believed to be threatened in the wild and is one of the more common waterfowl in captivity. As with many other southern hemisphere waterfowl the Ringed Teal does not have an eclipse (non breeding) plumage so the striking colours of the males plumage are maintained throughout the year once adult plumage is assumed at about fourteen weeks of age.

A Red-eyed Vireo checking things out at my favorite forest. This migratory song bird holds the record for most songs given in a single day among bird species with more than 20,000 songs.
Common Merganser
Common Mergansers are streamlined ducks that float gracefully down small rivers or shallow shorelines. The males are striking with clean white bodies, dark green heads, and a slender, serrated red bill. The elegant, gray-bodied females have rich, cinnamon heads with a short crest. In summer, look for them leading ducklings from eddy to eddy along streams or standing on a flat rock in the middle of the current. These large ducks’ nest in hollow trees; in winter they form flocks on larger bodies of water.

When the forced perspective adventure began, the one24thscale team naively imagined we could focus on the sleek, streamlined cars of the nineteen thirties. Ken marveled at how, during the greatest economic crisis the nation ever experienced, some of the greatest works of automotive art had been created. I share that sense of wonder. We wanted to celebrate those cars.
The Danbury Mint, 1934 Packard LeBaron was one of only a handful of die cast models we had to work with on that first day of shooting. We soon learned, yes there are lots of gorgeous models of cars of the rich and famous available from makers of die cast models. What proved difficult was finding scenes to use them in. There are only so many mansions around town to use as backdrops. In the rural settings we revisit time and again, about the only place for a rich man's car, is hot rodding down a country lane, disrupting the peace and quiet. Well, we did that story, a couple of times.
We even staged our own Concours de Elegance one hot July day, under the trees on the west lawn of the Grant-Humphreys mansion. We were able to spotlight a lot of high end cars in that series.
Finding a stage for the gorgeous cars of the deco era was the idea behind this set. It is meant to evoke a nineteen thirties, car dealer's salon. The buying experience was once very different, especially for high-end buyers. Though, I doubt they would have served you a Latte while you talked about financing.
In the months ahead, pandemic willing, you can expect to see more from this new time machine. Stay tuned!
No forced perspective trickery happening here! This is a photograph of a 1/24 scale die-cast model car in a 1/24 scale custom built 1930's car dealership.

Onslow Court, Worthing, Sussex, UK.
Designed by ATW Goldsmith in the Streamlined Moderne style of Art Deco and built in 1933. Previously on this site stood 'Onslow Vineries', a large house with extensive grounds used as a vinery.

I don't remember having taken a photo of the Brighton starlings where so many of them have had their wings back. I'm not sure if this was because it was windy (it was VERY windy!), or whether they were preparing to swoop low over the water. The blue in the background is the sky reflected on the sea. This was taken early on when it was still light.
Found at the Railroaders Memorial Museum in Altoona, Pa. This streamlined locomotive, designed for bi-directional operation was mainly used for passenger trains, but a few were re-geared for freight service. The GG1 survived longer than any other locomotive design, lasting from 1934 to well into the 1980s. The 79.5 foot long 230+ ton GG1 was built on an articulated frame which permitted its 2-C+C-2 wheel arrangement to negotiate tight curves even in congested areas. Power was picked up from an overhead 11,000 Volt AC catenary wire by a pantograph and the voltage stepped-down through an on board transformer to feed the 12 single phase 25 cycle traction motors. Each of these motors developed 385 HP giving the GG1 a total of 4620 HP in continuous operation and allowed speeds up to 100 mph. The body of the locomotive also housed large blowers for motor and transformer cooling, a steam boiler for passenger car heat, electric controllers and sanding boxes.
The hood ornament on a '40 Chevrolet has the Art Deco look of a streamlined locomotive of the same era.

"The streamlined Goosander is a handsome bird and a great fisher - its long, serrated bill helps it to catch and hold its slippery fish prey...It nests in riverbank trees, but can be seen on lakes and reservoirs in winter...
"The Goosander is a medium-sized duck and a member of a group called the 'sawbills' because of their long, narrow bills with saw-like 'teeth' which are good for gripping fish... A long, streamlined bird, it is perfectly shaped for swimming after fish...Goosanders are gregarious birds, forming flocks of thousands in some parts of Europe..."
"Male Goosanders are white, with dark green heads, black backs and long, red, hooked bills...The white sides and breast sometimes have a pink glow...Females are grey, with a gingery or reddish-brown head and a white throat..."

This Mazda RX7 is one of the most amazing cars I have ever photographed. The Lamborghini paint was so vivid, the motor sounded amazing, and the car looks so streamlined and aggressive! I'm definitely very excited to share this with you guys!
The car belongs to Brent Villareal, the marketing director for TunerLifeStyleTV.com - an awesome online magazine. Definitely give it a look if you haven't seen it. www.TunerLifeStyleTV.com
The photoshoot was done late in the evening, we were quite short on time so I did the best I could and improvised where necessary due to a lack of equipment. Most of my good lightstands, my umbrellas, and a few other things were not with me at the time. Pardon the dull backgrounds, we didn't have alot of time to venture out and try different settings.
Brent is definitely interested in being covered in D-Sport magazine, hopefully with these photos I'll be able to grab someones attention over there and shoot again when the car is finished (soon).
Before I forget, check it out - TunerLifeStyleTV's Video Coverage of the RB7!

Sleek, narrow, and built for the hunt. The Cobra helicopter’s streamlined design and formidable firepower make it an icon of airborne assault. Whether parked quietly or roaring into action, it carries the unmistakable aura of a machine built for combat.
The streamlined Redbone Coonhound, an American original, is even-tempered, mellow, and kindly at home but a tiger on the trail. Vigorous activities like hunting and swimming between long periods of rest is the rhythm of coonhound life.
