Yet more West Cumbrian sunshine serves to illuminate Tuesday's 6K73 Sellafield - Crewe flask train.
Nos.57003 & 57007 power a trio of FNAs away from the more southerly of Kirksanton's two level-crossings.
Each crossing has a dedicated keeper with ground-frames operating all the guarding signals, in fact a signalling cable can be seen running lineside.
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.
Probably taken around 2012. My two GG friends had come over for drinks and dinner and bought some hand me downs for me to try on......what a great nite filled with lots of laughter.... mainly at me and my lousy modeling skills lol.
This week we are going back a decade to 2015, and to GT 4 passing through UCD Belfield with a service on route 17 to Rialto.
Route 17 started running between Dolphin's Barn and Blackrock around 1971, with its western terminus becoming Rialto around 1982. Until 1990, the Blackrock terminus was on Newton Avenue. It then moved to the railway station. In January 2016, Go-Ahead Ireland took over the operation of the route. The route ceased in November 2023 when Bus Connects brought in new orbital routes on the southside. Route 17 was partially replaced by route S6.
GT 4 was new to Dublin Bus in 2012, and is still in service today.
The bus is seen passing through the bus gate within UCD Belfield. During the peak periods, the road through the campus was closed to traffic, with the bus gate introduced to ensure only buses used the road. The bus gate was used in both directions, and the bollard in the middle of the road lowered to let the buses pass through. It was relatively new at the time, but shortly after this picture was taken the bollard was replaced with barriers. It is no longer in use. Bus gates are not a common feature on the Dublin Bus network, but a few do exist around the city. There is even one in Lucan that is no longer in use.

This week we are going back thirty-nine years to Christmas Day 1985, and to KD 82 parked at Skerries Station.
The bus is dressed for route 33. CIE took over operation of this route from the GNR(I) in 1958, and it is still operated by Dublin Bus to this day. The route connects the city centre with Skerries, going via Swords, Lusk and Rush. Certain departures are extended to / from Balbriggan, and it is the most northerly route in the Dublin city network. Buses are also still left overnight at the shed in Skerries.
KD 82 was new to Dublin Bus in June 1984. It was still in service with Dublin Bus in June 1996, but had been withdrawn by October 1997.

Back in the summer of 2006, a pair of bluebonnet SD40-2s lead the 102 local west through Lockport, IL. SD40-2s were almost a every day occurrence on this train, now it's nothing but B40-8Ws.
Throwback to this time last year. @tripack_raceteam 5th at National Triathlon Relays. It's that weekend again. Literally cannot wait to see the lads again and have another crack at it.
I took this photo about 12 months ago, before I built the drawer and shelf unit on the passenger side. It was nice to have my bike so handy, and I miss the bike, but adding drawers and shelves has made a significant difference in van-livability.
That time it seemed like CSX was piling up once a month in Western New York, I happened to be in Johnstown, PA visiting family. One afternoon I slid out to Cresson and was caught off guard by Q118 detouring up the mountain. This was Labor Day weekend 2006 and back before Facebook groups were giving heads up. Not only was it cool to see something special but it was a complete surprise too.
Yas she is one of my fav models of all time. AND I am totally convinced that she is inspiration behind my favorite Fashion Royalty sculpt Dominique Makéda. I see so many similarities in the two. I have NEVER seen a bad picture of Queen Iman I SWEAR.

This week we go back twenty-four years to the year 2000 and to ME 25 parked on Store Street, opposite Bus Aras.
ME 25 was new to Dublin Bus in 1994. Initially delivered in City Imp livery (and used on City Imp routes), it was repainted in 1999 into this version of the Airlink livery, and branded "Hotelink". At least two other MEs were similarly treated, and they were used on new route 61A which ran between a variety of hotels and Bus Aras. This route started on the 14th June 1999 and was withdrawn on 17th October 1999.
Less than two months later, on 6th December 1999, new route 321 started. That is the route being displayed here on ME 25. It ran from Amiens Street (opposite Connolly Station) to the Mater Hospital, which explains the paper "Hospital" destination in the windscreen of the bus. The route operated every 15 minutes, Monday to Friday. But like Hotelink route 61A, this one did not last long either. It was withdrawn on 1st April 2000.
ME 25 was repainted back into City Imp livery. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus after 2001, and was operating a town servce in Tralee by 2004. It spent around decade there, providing a local service around the Kerry town.
This part of Store Street is now home to tram tracks as part of the Luas Red Line.

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 . . .
For this Throwback Thursday I have something REALLY old. A Flipnote titled: Mario V.S. Sonic. (I also modified it with Premiere Pro)
If you are unaware, a flipnote (or at least the type I'm speaking of) is an animation made with the Flipnote Studio that came with most DSi. (I'm just gonna' assume that's the plural.) I made a few things but I never got too far on anything. (Which is why the video is only 15 seconds. :P) Well, that is to say, I never got far on anything remotely good... I have dozens of flipnotes I am way too embarassed to post...
Poll time! What should I do?
1. Finish this flipnote
2. Make a new flipnote
3. Post an embarassing flipnote
4. "Whatever you want to do." and other useless yet understandable feedback.
:P

This week we are going back forty-one years to 1985, and to KD 153 at the route 44 terminus in Enniskerry.
The original route 44 started in 1926 and ran between the city centre and Vernon Avenue in Clontarf. It ceased in 1936, when a new route 44 started running between the city centre and Enniskerry. Until 1953, certain departures on the route operated to Glencullen. In 2012 it was extended on the northside to Larkhill, replacing route 3 under Network Direct changes. In 2014 it was extended along Collins Avenue to DCU. In 2021 the terminus in Enniskerry was moved to a location just beyond the bridge in the background of this photograph.
KD 153 was new to CIE in 1982. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus sometime around 1999.

This week we are going back thirty-seven years to D 754 on Leeson Street with a service on route 13 to Ballymun. The 13 dates back to 1939 when it ran between Glasnevin and Beechwood Avenue. In 1948 the northern terminus relocated to Wadelai Park before reaching Ballymun in 1980. In 1985 the southern terminus moved to Palmerston Park, before relocating to Merrion Square in the 1990s. In October 2011, route 13 became a cross-city route under Network Direct, running from Harristown to Grange Castle. This new route combined the previous routes 13, 13A, 51B and 51C.
D 754 was delivered new to CIE in 1975 and was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 1994, having operated out of Donnybrook and Ringsend garages.
Finally the bus is in an all-over ad for the well-known sweets Smarties. 01/07/1984

A can containing 12 cold, refreshing ounces of Pepsi Throwback. For that bold, crisp, and clean taste of Pepsi cola you remember, choose classic Pepsi with real sugar. It's the choice of the past and the future. It's the choice of yesterday and tomorrow. It's the real choice of the new generation.

This week we are going back twenty-five years to the year 2000, and to RV 567 parked on Hawkins Street while dressed for route 46A to Dun Laoghaire.
Route 46A started running between the city centre and Dun Laoghaire in 1936, having first reached Cabinteely in 1926 and Goatstown in 1933. In 2010 its city centre terminus was relocated to the Phoenix Park in 2010 when under Network Direct it replaced route 10 on the northside. The route ceased to operate in January 2025 when it was partially replaced by route E2 under Bus Connects.
RV 567 was new to Dublin Bus in 1999. It was withdrawn in October 2012 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
