I had a friend send me this old pic not long back from many many years ago, i think it was one of two places but I'm not sure who's flowers they were but here I am.
On a cloudy Sunday morning, I encountered a throwback to an earlier era when I caught this northbound on the CN Champaign Subdivision powered by a pair of former Illinois Central SD70s (Nos. 1000 and 1029) in their as-delivered livery.
A short trip back this week to 2014, where AX 647 is offering to #ShareACoke. Buses in Dublin used to have a quite a tradition of being wrapped for ad campaigns for Coca Cola but that died off in the late 1990s. 2014 was when the tradition was revived with this campaign. Coca Cola were branding bottles and cans of their product with people's names instead of their more familiar brand name. AX 647 in Donnybrook and AX 601 in Phibsboro received the all-over ads. In 2015 three buses received a more traditional red Coca Cola wrap,but sadly there has been nothing more since then. In 2018 AX 647 received a wrap for Dublin Pride.
Route 61 to Whitechurch commenced in 2011, replacing the 48A and parts of the 15B. Construction of the Rosie Hackett Bridge commenced in 2011 and was completed in 2014. It was built to facilitate the Luas Cross City tramline and trams started crossing over it in 2017.
AX 647, Rosie Hackett Bridge, 19/07/14
This pic has a funny story which comes from the do not post files.....this moment was me back in June of 2008 after returning from the U.S. after two months of traveling extensively all over the U.S. and some of Canada.
I had bought this U.S. Cavalry hat in a disposal store as I thought it was sooo cool.
So when I got back home I sent this pic to a very dear and close friend of many many years who lived in V.A. near Richmond.
The reply I got back was "Dammed Yankee" lol. I still laugh at that reply to this day.
Now there is a second part to this as my friend sent me a Confederate Officers hat which I'll post at another time...and instructions clearly which one to wear. Were still friends to this day after 26 years and this pic still makes us both laugh.
A brief hop back to 2013 this week. This was a time just before Luas Cross City works came to O'Connell Street and started to alter the main thoroughfare in the capital. Where the bin is located there are now Luas tracks, with the first tram due to pass here in three months time. The bus, AX 545 is part of the Wedding Bus fleet which is currently being phased out and absorbed back into the standard fleet. Thus the bus will lose some of uniqueness. This bus, based in Donnybrook, was part of a pretty unique sequence with AX 542 and 543 part of the Coastal Tour fleet and 544 becoming the 1916 bus in 2016. Unlike in the picture, AX 545 now has a LED destination display rather than the DMD shown here. I am not sure if this destination is still possible on the bus... O'Connell Street. 23/03/2013
This week we are going back a decade to AX 451 on Lorcan Avenue with a service on route 27B to Eden Quay.
Route 27B started running between the city centre and Castletimon (where Lorcan Avenue is located) in 1971. In 2004 the route was extended north, through Santry and on to terminate at Harristown garage. Buses still loop around Castletimon, with this bus stop on Lorcan Avenue being served by buses going in both directions.
AX 451 was new to Dublin Bus in 2006. It was withdrawn around December 2018, and was sold on to another Irish operator.
Under Bus Connects, it is proposed to serve the full length of Lorcan Avenue with new route A1.

Such care free days when this old pic was taken many many years ago when I was living near the beach and would ride my push bike everywhere. Note the two tone hair and chicken legs but super fit and healthy.

...Don't tell me you didn't know that my street work can now be seen at my secondary Tumblr blog, www.tumblr.com/blog/smilefromthestreetsyoushoot. Amazing, isn't it? Enjoy it then, why not? Of course you will. I know it, you know it.
Was looking through photos on my phone & realised I never posted three of Warhol when I took her up to Hahndorf (a town in the hills I like to visit) last year.
For this week's "Throwback Thursday" we are not going back too far in time, only to 2009. WV 19 is seen on New Wapping Street with a 53A from Eden Quay to Alexandra Road in Dublin Port. The bus is now gone and the route is now gone. 01/04/2009
I was sorting some old photos and found some that I had taken in the production area where I was employed as a graphic designer. Without all these machines and pieces of various equipment it would not matter that we upfront spent time to design a beautiful piece of art or that our sales staff worked hard to secure the account because without production and all the pieces of machinery we could not produce the final (book, magazine, brochure, poster, etc) that shipped to the public which enabled us to stay open for business. Yeah for machines . . .
Baltimore & Ohio torpedo-tube GP9 No. 6610 works a local job at historic Gettysburg PA on a hazy summer day in July 1985, late into the Chessie era.
This was taken quite a few years back as I do remember the night out with friends and this dress I had bought for the occasion.
Today a picture from the archive that I came across a few days ago. Taken in December 2019, but it feels like it was much longer ago.

A trip back twenty-five years this week to 1995, and a collection of City Imps on College Street. ML 28 is seen parked at the 155 terminus, while behind it there is an Imp on the 83 and another also on the 155. Route 155 went over to City Imp in 1994 when it replaced the former Dublin Bus route 55. The 155 ran from the city centre to Limekiln Farm in Greenhills, and was operated from Donnybrook Garage, whereas the 55 was a Ringsend Garage route. The route operated a high-frequency of every 10 minutes for most of the day. It only lasted until around 2001 when it was replaced by a rerouted 19A on the southside. The 155 number reappeared on the network again in 2019, but this time running between Bray and Ballymun.
ML 28 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 1995. It was one of 35 members of the class delivered between 1994 and 1995. Most members of the class were withdrawn from around 2001 onwards, when Dublin Bus started to move away from minibuses. Some of the ML minibuses were sold on to other operators.
This location on College Street is now the Trinity tram stop on the Luas Greeen Line. The building behind the 83 has been demolished but "The Irish Yeast Co." shop is still there. 19/08/1995
I set the time machine to March 2023! The result is Legs, Eyes, Smile, Curves, & a 2 door coupe! See anything interesting??
