Another shot along the Albany & Susquehanna Division of the Delaware & Hudson for today, but this time while it was still the real D&H. This was a hot sultry August evening in 1979 and I encouraged my mother that it would be a bit cooler to take out the 73' Chrysler Newport with the AC cranked up and head over the hill to Sidney than try and suffice the heat at home. I was 14 at the time, so a chauffeur was needed. After checking the signals at Sidney, a green indicated an eastbound must be out of Binghamton, so west we drove until we ran into something. This was the catch of the day right before it got too dark at Afton, NY.

"One hand in the air for the big city
Street lights, big dreams, all lookin' pretty
No place in the world that could compare
Put your lighters in the air everybody say "

Write your wish on a 短冊 (tanzaku) and then hang it on bamboo tree.
Hope your day is off to a good start? I must admit that this seasons transition period can be a bit boring here in Chicago. I’m struggling to stay motivated lately but I’m excited about new IR season being just around the corner. This was shot with IR Chrome filter. What do you think?
CP 6303 leads what would almost be a '90s throwback consist (save for the new paint on the leader) on train 286 through the curve at Waterford Avenue on Milwaukee's south side. Southbounds here climb Lake Hill, a not-insignificant grade. Combined with the curvature, it's always a good show.
Y sigo con fotos de hace tiempo... es lo que tiene no salir a la vía muy a menudo. Aquí tenemos el tren fluvial de 2015, pocos minutos después de salir de Ribadesella con la 1659 en cabeza, poco antes de la entrada de la estación de Llovio. Cada vez queda menos para el descenso de este año, y lamentablemente cada vez pinta peor para el tren fluvial...

I decided to play and show this photo with my longest hair. I was never certain that this style was for me and I so like my shorter hair now.
NS 1066 leads BICB-01 west through Joliet on April Fool's Easter Day. Thanks to a birdie for the intel.
Found this "gem" on an old thumb drive. Me at a Unicorn Sanctuary circa 2013! So glad to see that both SL and I look better these days!
A recreation of a GN local from the 1950s was operated for Railfan Weekend on the North Shore Scenic Railroad in 1999. This view is at Mud Cut just west of Two Harbors.
1934 Brewster Town Car
The Brewster was immortalized in the Cole Porter song, "You're the Top" and is the only American to ever win the Gold Medal at the Paris International Exposition, a gathering of Europe's finest coachbuilders.
The Ford deal and the end.
To save Brewster from the Depression, an employee purchased 135 Ford V8 roadster chassis and designed a body for it, identified by its swoopy fenders and a heart-shaped grille.
Stylish and selling for only $3,500, it was a hit at the 1934 New York Auto Show. The bodies were worth more than the chassis. These cars were registered as Brewster and sold at Rolls-Royce showrooms, and were not branded as Fords.
I usually do not do portraits, so I am submitting a picture of me! Ha. Way back in 1965. So glad to be at the beginning of this wonderful group. HSS.
A chase of New Hampshire Northcoast D8 back in December of 2022, yielded several good shots including this one at Milton.
