There is a lot I could say about this photo of Thomas Boldman on his personal motorcar in Kentland, Indiana in the 1920's. The Boldman family worked on this line from start to finish. They helped build it in the CI&S days, worked primarily as track inspectors or in some aspect of water tower and pumphouse employees. They worked on this line mostly between Sheff and Schneider. The photo above shows Thomas in the morning after setting his motorcar on the tracks near Allen street, which looks like where it was taken from looking north. He lived 2 blocks away and after #80 would go north, he would set on and ride to Sheff to work the pumphouse. He had no protection and no authority and allegedly had many "Close Calls" with extras.
The Boldman family built, maintained and unfortunately, dismantled the Egyptian line.
The photograph is believed to have been taken by Wilmer Boldman. Photo looks north at the northbound home signal.
Throwback Thursday will be photos from the Boldman family collection of the NYC's Egyptian line.

***Decided to merge images from my old Flickr account with my current account. Photos and descriptions from 2007-2009.
Location: Chicago, IL
I visited Taste of Chicago and decided to stop by Chicago's stunning Crown Fountain. There were too many people out now that it is warm. I am kinda missing the cold now because this heat/humidity is killing me. I guess that I will never be satisfied.
This shot was taken of one of the dozens of dozens of kids playing in the fountain. Testing out my new trusty 135L.
Just a revisit on older stock with the usual storyline: "Sometimes you have to put on the big hat just to show everyone who's really in charge." To this day I still love this shot and that quote.
Owen Jones as the photographer.
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 It was withdrawn in October 2012 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.

This isn’t a Corvette. It’s the Equus Throwback.
Okay, so it is a Corvette, sort of.
But this Corvette has been restyled, and given a little bit more grunt by Equus Automotive, creator of the Bass770.
The retro-inspired Throwback is a limited model, with only 25 planned by the Detroit-based company, which utilises the ‘Vette as a basis to create a “significantly upgraded” muscle car.
The Corvette’s supercharged V8 can be tuned to an output of 746kW and 1114Nm. Equus says it’s capable of a 2.5-second run to 97km/h (60mph), and has a top speed of 354km/h.
Equus Autmotive’s goal with the Throwback was to inspire a sense of nostalgia in muscle car fans while providing a car with modern-day usability.
“The Throwback model uses unique styling language in its outer skin to create a breathtaking vision of the ultimate Corvette. Equus takes the customer down memory lane to an era when Corvettes were synonymous with performance and class.
“The Throwback can be personalized for the design orientated drivers or for the fastest paced performance centric customer, always emphasizing the original love of an icon, desire for innovation and uncompromised quality.
“Just as companies like Brabus and Alpina focus on European brands, Equus Automotive is focused on providing American Sports car lovers the ultimate interpretation of todayʼs designs.
This week we are going back nine years to 2015 and to EV 96 at the route 142 terminus on Charlotte Way.
Route 142 started as a peak-extra that operated between Portmarnock and Palmerston Park in 2007. It reached the city centre by going via Malahide and the Dublin Port Tunnel. In 2013 it was extended south via Milltown and Bird Avenue to terminate at the old route 11B terminus within UCD Belfield. This peak-hour service was operated by Harristown Garage, but in 2014 a shorter version of the route was introduced between the peaks, operated by Donnybrook Garage. This version ran from UCD Belfield to Portobello, terminating on Charlotte Way as seen here. The off-peak route was suspended in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic and has yet to return. The peak 142 still operates.
EV 96 was new to Dublin Bus in 2008 and is still in service today. It is one of one hundred Enviro 400s delivered to Dublin Bus between 2007 and 2008.
The bus stop on Charlotte Way was suspended in 2024 due to the construction at the site beside it, which was formerly home to the Garda Headquarters.

In 1949, the DeGrazias' bought 10-acres of land in the Santa Catalina Foothills, north of Tucson. Soon after Ted and Marion began to build their home on the grounds, at this time there was no electricity, water, or services. All supplies that they needed had to be transported from Tucson. They cooked their food in an old wood-burning stove and took showers outside with water from a bucket. Happy Throwback Thursday!
Angie had taken me to Vegas for my birthday and we made a day excursion to the Grand Canyon's Western Rim
This week we are going back eleven years to 2012 and RV 602 on route 15B. This Volvo Olympian bus was new to Dublin Bus in 1999. It was withdrawn in October 2012 (a month after this photograph was taken), and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
Route 15B started running between the city centre and Templeogue in 1952. In 1978 it reached Ballyroan, and in 2007 it was extended to Whitechurch. Since 2011 it has terminated on Stocking Avenue, and at that time the city terminus moved to the Grand Canal Dock area too. However, in 2021 it was cut back to Merrion Square.
The bus is seen exiting Church Lane onto College Green. The corridor from Dawson Street to College Green via Nassau Street, Suffolk Street and Church Lane was a major artery for cross-city bus routes for many decades. That ended in 2015, when Luas Cross-City works saw bus routes diverted away from Suffolk Street. Now no bus routes use Church Lane or Suffolk Street.

Hoy he descubierto esta foto haciendo revisión del viaje a Thailandia , técnicamente la foto esta hecha hace casi ya dos años . Pero para mi ha sido como descubrirla hoy . La verdad no había visto las fotos desde que las tome , era como que quería guardar el recuerdo de ese paraíso en mi retina y que ninguna foto haría justicia a tanta belleza . Esta toma esta hecha en maya bay ,cerca de kho pi pi y cuenta la historia de esa noche , en la que cantamos ,bebimos ... eramos completos desconocidos. La magia de la playa , el olor a hierba , y el buen rollo hacen de aquella noche inolvidable.

Missed so much!
Photo taken in early 2017.
DeGrazia built the Mission in the Sun in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe calling the mission his most durable and important piece of art. “The mission will have no functional purpose. It will be a place of beauty where I can go and hide.” Happy Throwback Thursday!

The exercise is the MEU's first time at-sea as an entire Marine Air Ground Task Force and gives Marines and sailors the opportunity to become familiar working together as a blue-green team.

This week we are going back thirteen years to 2012, and to RV 621 departing Blackrock with a service on route 17 to Dolphin's Barn.
Route 17 started running between Dolphin's Barn and Blackrock around 1971. Around 1982 its western terminus became Rialto. 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
RV 621 was new to Dublin Bus in 1999. It was withdrawn in November 2012.
