Yesterday's post shows this rail fan extra with Erie Lackawanna E8's 816 and 823 crossing RT17K in Montgomery, NY. Today we are a couple of hundred yards to the south at Clinton St. where the station was. It appears the extra has paused for a bit. Maybe for a fan photo line. It also appears a few chasers were on hand.
I could be wrong, but in front of the station, it appears to have some sort of tilt order board signal.
I myself had several of my early chases as a passenger in a 1963 2 door Plymouth Fury like the one in the photo. It had 318 "big block" and push a button transmission. It was fast and rode as smooth as glass.

Whether you're into old cars, black & white or trains, this photo should grab some sort of interest.
Chicago & Eastern Illinois GP-7 #230 pauses on the house track at Momence, Illinois in April of 1965. Switchman Del Sommers is seen walking through the shot. The depot is at right.
C&EI GP7 #230 was built by EMD in August of 1951. Was later renumbered as MP #1634 and then later #634.

Remember them? I found this pic in my photo folder on my computer and I was immediately filled with memories, LOL.
Ah, they had potential to be a pretty awesome line. The clothes were on-trend and not all garishly pink with glitter. The dolls had sweet faces and even though the bodies were static, they were supposed to be like mannequins. I still see them on the shelves languishing with clearance prices. I loved the fashion packs. Those were awesome and had great pieces.

My first outing on the Country Club Plaza, way back in '04.
This fountain and several others in the area are still some of my favorite photo settings.

The legendary Dagupan Bus Co 510 Mitsubishi bus heading for Dagupan. Movie from Dolphy's Bugoy Goes To Congress.
Not really all that long ago, but long enough that the power and signals can no longer be replicated at this location. WBD CP train on Elgin Sub at Elmwood Park, IL. Taken in the early to mid-2000's.
Fallow deer stags have almost completed their antlers by mid August, although they are still velvet covered.
as I prep for another journey, I fondly remember last years Death Valley trip. Looking forward to the new journey !
Do check it out in large format....
It's October 22, 1999, and CSX local Y101 has just finished dropping off a cut of cars at the North Baltimore grain elevator for loading. CSX is only a few months into the Conrail acquisition and numerous variations of paint can be seen on trains all across the now even larger CSX system. With no other customers between here and Fostoria, Y101 will head back West to Defiance yard where it will tie down until the following day.
In reality, this is CSX train M558 with a load of LTEX bound units, presumably headed for scrap. This unit has definitely seen better days, and from the looks of it, this may be its last mainline ride. Also in the consist were 3 SW9/1200's and one former SP tunnel motor.

This week we are going back fourteen years to Dublin Bus EV 53 on Burgh Quay with a service on route 151 to Adamstown. This route started operating between Docklands Station and Grange Castle in March 2007, running via the Crumlin Road. In July of that year it was extended to Adamstown, which was a new town being built out in west Dublin near Lucan. In 2010 under Network Direct changes the route was cut back to terminate in Foxborough. Route 25B was introduced at the same time which ran to Adamstown via Palmerstown, and provided an interchange with the 151 in Foxborough. The current 151 no longer uses Burgh Quay either. It currently crosses the River Liffey via the Roise Hackett Bridge and reaches College Street via Hawkins Street.
EV 53 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in December 2008. In fact, this Enviro 400 entered service just two days before this picture was taken. It was withdrawn from service in February 2022.
