How I wish this was still everyday power for road trains. P76 heads to East Point with an old school consist, with only the Sadmiral cab 4th out as a spoiler.
Live music has been a prominent feature of Detroit's nightlife since the late 1940s, bringing the city recognition under the nickname Motown. The metropolitan area has many nationally prominent live music venues.
Important music events in the city include: the Detroit International Jazz Festival, Movement Electronic Music Festival, the Motor City Music Conference (MC2), the Urban Organic Music Conference, the Concert of Colors, and the hip-hop Summer Jamz festival.
The city of Detroit has a rich musical heritage and has contributed to a number of different genres over the decades leading into the new millennium.

A Manhattan-bound Q train arrives at Beverley Rd station, sporting the diamond Q bullet used during the Manhattan Bridge reconstruction, when the Q was the only train running on the Brighton Line. Since it was both a local and express service operating at the same times it fit the criteria for a diamond bullet to differentiate the two. This is the current criteria for a diamond bullet, which is why the <6> and <7> are currently in use, but not the <5>.

"Watch over the Rhine," which was the first National Guard Heritage Painting to feature an Air National Guard mission, was unveiled in early 1967 by Maj. Gen. Winston Wilson, Chief, National Guard Bureau (second from left) and presented to the Secretary of the Air Force, Harold Brown (third from left). The painting shows ANG missions flown over Germany in 1961 during the Berlin Crisis. Adjacent to the generals on the extreme left, Brig. Gen. Robert Akin, Adjutant General of the Tennessee National Guard, the state from which the "Starfighter" unit was based, and on the extreme right, Gen. John P. McConnell, the Air Force Chief of Staff. Published in the April 1967 edition of National Guardsman magazine.

DeGrazia once said, “I remember when I painted murals. I’d paint the whole wall–all the walls of a room. I’d paint all day for twenty-five dollars.” DeGrazia started painting murals after his two-year apprenticeship under Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco in 1942. Happy Throwback Thursday!
Jordy Nelson, Brad Jones, and Nick Collins model the new throwback uniforms that the Packers will be wearing this year.
With two Ex Conrail SD40-2s leading, M434 struggles in N8 out of the siding at Nyack. The old Conrail era Type G signals still stand guard here.
The old tower at LAX is still a great looking building. It just makes the airport feel so much a 50's feeling of the future.
This week’s Throwback Thursday photos are from February 16, 1968 – a 2nd alarm at 135 Park Avenue, Brooklyn (FD Box 22-0387).
Found these when going thru some old photos. These were taken in Arizona and Nevada, about 24 years ago. Traveling with a couple of 110 disposable cameras. Good times!
This week we are going back thirty-four years to 1991, and to KD 339 on O'Connell Street with a service on route 19A to McKee Road.
Route 19A started running between Rialto and Ballymun Avenue in1940. It reached Cedarwood Road in 1967. Around 1990 its northern terminus became McKee Road on the northside and Bulfin Road on the southside. In the late-1990s its southern terminus was Kelly's Corner, and from 2001 to 2011 it operated between Limekiln Avenue and Bulfin Road. It was replaced by route 9 in 2011 under Network Direct.
KD 339 was new to CIE in 1983. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus during 1998. It wore this all-over ad for Stanley Tools for most of 1991, and into 1992.

This week we are going back thirty-seven years to 1987 and to D 813 on O'Connell Street. The bus is one of many operating shuttles to Slane in County Meath.
In 1981 open-air concerts started taking place at Slane Castle, at Slane between Drogheda and Navan. Double-deckers from the Dublin city fleet were used each year to bring people from the city to Slane Castle, and back again after the concert. In certain years, around 200 buses could be used to undertake this service. The last year Dublin Bus operated a service was 2019, the year before the Covid-19 pandemic. In the last decade or so, there has been an increase in the number of private operator buses used. For many years Dublin Bus ran the service from O'Connell Street as seen here. Then it became Parnell Square, and in 2019 it was Western Way.
D 813 was new to CIE in 1976. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 1994.
Flanagans and McDonald's are still operating at these locations on O'Connell Street.

This week we are going back thirty-five years to 1988 and to LD 1 in St. Stephen's Green on route 44. This bus was a Leyland Olympian demonstrator sent to Dublin Bus for evaluation, along with an MCW Metrobus. Even though the latter went to the effort of painting their bus in Dublin Bus livery, the Olympian eventually won out. Dublin Bus went on to order 640 Olympians, delivered between 1990 and 1999, with the final one withdrawn in 2012. The Dublin Bus vehicles did have a different body style though compared to that of the demonstrator. LD 1 went on to the Isle of Man before reaching Solent Blue Line in Southampton in 1990. In 2008 it moved to York Pullman and it seems around 2012 it was withdrawn, though still existed in some form in 2017.
The DUTC started running route 44 between the city centre and Enniskerry in 1936. In 2012, Dublin Bus extended it to Larkhill replacing route 3 on the northside. In 2014 it was extended slightly further to Dublin City University (DCU).

DeGrazia wrote in a journal the “desert is spiritual, mysterious and religious. It is a big dream around a dream. Walk away from people into the desert, and soon you will find a deadly silence, loneliness, a vast emptiness. It is almost frightening. Then suddenly, like magic, you are not alone. Around you is felt a stirring of life, you have a feeling of a living desert, a very old desert.”
Happy Throwback Thursday!
The eagle eyed will have noticed this is an old shot of mine. Pretty close to when I began the Lego365 project and a personal favourite of mine, mainly as it was the first time I felt like a "Real" photographer.
It was the catalyst for something bigger. And it was about then I decided to try turning a fews of my shots into prints and cards, as part of what I now call "season 1" (and Thankyou to Wendy and Kelly for the encouragement)
Oh, and I've still got a few of those prints and cards left, so if you want some, then hit me up.
