Another 'Tricycle Gear' Machine
While James Oliver manufactured America's first chilled iron plow in 1853, John Deere developed America's first cast steel plow in 1838. In 1892, John Froelich combined a vertical gasoline (petrol) engine with the frame of a steam traction engine to create the first gas-powered tractor. In 1918, Deere and Company bought out Froelich's Waterloo Engine Company and started to produce the world's longest running line of tractors.
Because of the inline intake and exhaust stacks and the seven slot grille, I believe this unit is a 'styled' Model B. Although the first Model Bs appeared in 1934, they were somewhat ugly affairs until Henry Dreyfuss redesigned and streamlined them in 1939. In 1947, Deere changed the frame from cut beam to pressed steel. They continued in production until 1952, when Deere replaced them with the Model 50. This Model B was built between in the five-year period between 1947 and 1952.

I was so excited to see this! The round end observation car was the pinnacle of streamlined passenger trains in the United States and Canada. The shape exemplified speed, grace and luxury. B&O's Capitol Limited ran between Chicago and Washington, DC. The former observation car now resides at the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore.
The American Freedom Train's locomotive, Southern Pacific GS-4 class # 4449, a modern streamlined oil burning 4-8-4 Northern, is shown in a front view with one of it's main rods down at the SCL-Amtrak (former ACL) station in Saint Petersburg, Florida, during December 1976. There was a mechanical problem with the main pin that is used to connect the main rod to the alligator crosshead and it needed to be repaired. A local machine shop in the area performed the mechanical work on the pin and shortly the problem was solved.
Streamlined Diesel Railcar No. 4.
In 1933 the GWR introduced the first of what was to become a very successful series of railcars, which survived in regular use into the 1960s, when they were replaced with the new British Rail "first generation" type diesel multiple units.

Running practically on even time, fully-streamlined LNER Gresley A4 No.4464 'Bittern' drifts past the fields north of Langford with the first leg of Steam Dreams' 'Cathedral Express to Scotland' from Kings Cross to Perth on the 14th June 2013. BR Green-liveried classmate No.60009 'Union of South Africa' was due to take over at York for the leg to Scotland and the Fife.
This image shows the northern terminus of an outflow channel located in the volcanic terrains of Amenthes Planum.
The channel sources from the Palos impact crater to the south, where water flowed into the crater from Tinto Vallis and eventually formed a paleo lake. As rising lake levels breached the crater's rim and inundated the plains to the north, the resulting high velocity, large discharge floods plucked out and eroded the volcanic plains, scouring out the "Palos Outflow Channel" and the streamlined mesa-islands on its floor.

Norfolk Southern Office Car Special #951, led by a vintage 1952 streamlined EMD F9(A) diesel locomotive, passes through Lynchburg, crossing Rutherford Street near the stadium at around 12:45 PM Wednesday afternoon, May 1, 2019, en route with VIP's from Norfolk, Va., to Bluefield, WV. About two hours prior, the train hit a vehicle caught between the gates and stopped on the track in Appomattox. Sadly, the driver of the vehicle did not survive.
The Crusader was the Reading Company’s contribution to the high-speed steam-hauled prestige trains of the 1930s. Less well known than trains such as the Milwaukee Road’s Hiawatha and the LNER’s Coronation streamliners, the Crusader was launched in 1937, comprising a fixed formation of five stainless steel cars built by Budd Co., hauled by a stainless steel-shrouded streamlined Pacific class. The 5-car formation included observation cars at each end, a tavern dining car and a cocktail lounge. The service ran between the Reading Broad Street terminal in Philadelphia and the Central Railroad of New Jersey Communipaw Terminal in Jersey City - a journey of 90 miles. A ferry service connected with Manhattan. Diesel haulage replaced steam around 1950. In the final years of operation, Budd RDC railcars provided the much-depleted service. Two of the Budd streamlined coaches have survived in preservation.
Streamlined Sundays: Cars in the Park
WHEN: July 8, 2018 @ 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm
40 classic sports cars from 1967 and earlier will line the Park Blocks outside the Museum for this month’s Streamlined Sunday, a program of The Shape of Speed. Ranging from 1930’s Alfa Romeos to competition Ferraris from the 1960s, Cars in the Park is the kickoff for Keith Martin’s Sports Car Market 30th Anniversary Tour.
A rather fine trade brochure issued by English Electric showing the modern tramcars constructed for a handful of operators at their Dick, Kerr Works in Preston, Lancashire. These works had a long pedigree in the construction of British tramcars; they came to English Electric when the company was formed in 1919 by merger that included Dick, Kerr & Co. They had their origins in Glasgow in 1854 and had important engineering works in Kilmarnock acquiring the Preston works in 1893. The company did well out of the trend towards municipalisation and electrification of earlier horse and steam tramway systems.
By the mid-1930s British tramway systems were mostly in decline as first generation electric networks were in need of significant investment at a time when the motor bus was an established competitor that was seen as having more flexibility along with smaller capital outlays. In addition, with the growth of road raffic, the British Government had spoken out against trams on the perceived grounds of congestion and safety.
Nevertheless a few operators experimented with modernising their systems and tramcar fleets. Some of the operators here undertook such work rather partially, such as Sunderland and Rotherham, and the new trams added to the fleet sadly were unable to turn the tide towards abandonment. Belfast, seen here, were effectively on the cusp of converting their system to trolleybus operation, a programme that began in 1938 and doomed the tramways.
Edinburgh's examples were the harbingers of a large fleet of new 'standard' cars that the Corporation constructed themselves with designs drawing from the cars purchased from outside contractors such as EE and the system survived intact into the 1950s when the seemingly inevitable decision was made to abandon the system and replace trams with buses that concluded in 1956.
Other systems seen here, Leeds and Blackpool, were also amongst undertakings that made determined efforts to modernise their fleets and network; in the case of the former, Leeds remained relatively faithful to trams until the decision was made in the mid-1950s to abandon by 1959 and in the case of the latter Blackpool, the great Lancashire seaside resort, was to end up being the UK's last street tramway operator. These EE products, along with later cars constructed in the 1950s, enabled the trams to keep running in the resort until finally modernisation into a more 'light mass transit system' took place in the 2000's.
English Electric have chosen a distinctly contemporary and moderne design for the brochure here using the popular '30s deco 'streamlined' design to sell a story of modernity and technological advance. This was a real attempt to promote a new look for the increasingly derided 'old fashioned' and seemingly 'uncomfortable' tramcar that was common at the time. The cover is unashamedly based on one of Blackpool's fleet as supplied by EE.

The presence of the line's resident Class 08 shunter, No.08850, suggests it is being prepared to be moved out for a running stint for a later day.

The cover of a brochure I designed for the now-defunct Bicycle Museum of America at Chicago's Navy Pier featured my illustration of a streamlined Sky-King bicycle that looked like this, fully skirted wheels and all.

LMS streamlined Princess Coronation class 8P steam locomotive 6229 "Duchess of Hamilton" (British Railways 46229). York Railfest. Queens Diamond Jubilee Holiday Tuesday 05 June 2012.
The Princess Coronation class locomotives both streamlined and non-streamlined were the finest British steam locomotives ever built.
Unfortunately the immaculately restored locomotive is let down by extremely shoddy workmanship carried out when the nameplate of the locomotive was fitted as is clearly seen here.

Recent shift to AMC enables streamlined logistics services
By Sgt. 1st Class Jeff Troth
jefferey.l.troth.mil@mail.mil
CAMP CASEY, SOUTH KOREA – The logisticians who look after Warrior Country’s transportation, maintenance and supply needs are now able to provide even more robust services thanks to a recent change that gives them broader, faster reach into the Army’s overall logistics network.
The U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud and Area I’s Directorate of Logistics ran the Central Issue Facility at Camp Hovey and the transportation motor pools that provide buses and vehicle maintenance in Warrior Country.
They did that as part of the U.S. Army Installation Management Command, of which USAG Red Cloud and Area I is a part.
But, effective Oct. 1, all Army DOL assets shifted from IMCOM to the U.S. Army Materiel Command. AMC is a global command that supports Army logistics worldwide.
The shift plugs in the DOL to AMC’s global logistics network.
And in Warrior Country, DOL is now part of the 403rd Army Field Support Brigade Area I, said DOL director Dennis Williams.
For Warrior Country customers, that’ll mean that when one of the 403rd AFSB’s facilities in Warrior Country runs low on an item – helmets or vehicle parts – for example, they can be shipped from another facility that does have them, even one in, say, Japan, Williams said.
The transition will not pose any confusion or inconvenience for DOL customers, he said.
“For Area I it will be transparent,” he said. “The services we did yesterday are the same services that we’ll do today and tomorrow.”
The Area I DOL marked the shift to AMC with a low-key patch-and-pin ceremony Oct. 3 at Camp Casey’s Carey Fitness Center.
There, DOL’s Soldiers traded in their seven-sided IMCOM patch for the shield-shaped AMC patch, while civilians received an AMC lapel pin.
“On behalf of the Army Materiel Command I want to welcome you to the new AMC family,” Col. Michael Lopez, commander of the 403rd AFSB, said during the ceremony.
For the more than 300 DOL Soldiers, Department of the Army Civilians and Korean civilians in Warrior Country, the 403rd AFSB is now their higher headquarters. But, they’re not alone. On Oct. 1, the 403rd also took command and control of all DOLs in Korea, Japan and Okinawa.
The changeover process was set in motion in March 2005 when the leadership of IMCOM and AMC decided to develop a logistics partnership to improve support to the Army and the Army’s transformation plan.
