Chicago O'Hare International Airport
Terminal 2 opened in 1962.
My father, Norman M Reed [11/11/1925 to 02/23/2023 – 97 yrs old], was a retired Allegheny Airlines Captain [US Airways]. He spent 13.5 years, 11,800 hours and 30162 take-offs & landings while flying the DC-3 in scheduled airline service for Lake Central Airlines [The FAA says it is a record for To's & Ldgs in a DC3 in domestic scheduled airline service], one of the legacy airlines of the "New American" Airlines.
Dad & Mom moved to Texas in 1977 from Catharpin, VA after my father retired from Allegheny Airlines [just before they changed their name to USAir in 1979 - he was originally with Lake Central Airlines - hire date 1953 - that merged with Allegheny in 1968] as a DC-9 Captain. He has flown in scheduled airline service the DC3, Nord 262, Convair 340 & 580 and the DC9-30 &-50. He was trained in the Army Air Corp during WWII on the P-47 & P-38. He never saw combat. Mom is 91 this year - 2025.
DC-3
DC-3 Commercial Transport
The Douglas DC-3, which made air travel popular and airline profits possible, is universally recognized as the greatest airplane of its time. Some would argue that it is the greatest of all time.
Design work began in 1934 at the insistence of C.R. Smith, president of American Airlines. Smith wanted two new planes — a longer DC-2 that would carry more day passengers and another with railroad-type sleeping berths, to carry overnight passengers.
The first DC-3 built was the Douglas Sleeper Transport — also known as Skysleepers by airline customers — and it was the height of luxury. Fourteen plush seats in four main compartments could be folded in pairs to form seven berths, while seven more folded down from the cabin ceiling. The plane could accommodate 14 overnight passengers or 28 for shorter daytime flights. The first was delivered to American Airlines in June 1936, followed two months later by the first standard 21-passenger DC-3.
In November 1936, United Airlines, which had been a subsidiary of Boeing until 1934, became the second DC-3 customer. The DC-2 had proved more economical than the Model 247, and United assumed the DC-3 would continue that lead. Initial orders from American and United were soon followed by orders from more than 30 other airlines in the next two years.
The DC-3 was not only comfortable and reliable, it also made air transportation profitable. American's C.R. Smith said the DC-3 was the first airplane that could make money just by hauling passengers, without relying on government subsidies. As a result, by 1939, more than 90 percent of the nation's airline passengers were flying on DC-2s and DC-3s.
In addition to the 455 DC-3 commercial transports built for the airlines, 10,174 were produced as C-47 military transports during World War II. For both airline and military use, the DC-3 proved to be tough, flexible, and easy to operate and maintain. Its exploits during the war became the stuff of legend. Today, more than six decades after the last one was delivered, hundreds of DC-3s are still flying and still earning their keep by carrying passengers or cargo.

Lake Central Airlines
Lake Central Airlines was a local service carrier and scheduled airline that served multiple locations throughout the midwestern and eastern United States from 1950 to 1968, when it then merged into Allegheny Airlines. In 1979 Allegheny became USAir, and in 1997, USAir became US Airways. In 2015, US Airways was acquired by American Airlines through a merging of the two companies.
History
The airline was founded as Turner Airlines in 1948; it was based at Weir Cook Airport (now Indianapolis International Airport) in Indianapolis, Indiana. Lake Central's network in the 1950s extended from Chicago to Pittsburgh; in August 1953 it had scheduled flights to 21 airports, and in May 1968, this number increased to 39.
Like other local service airlines regulated by the federal Civil Aeronautics Board, Lake Central was subsidized; in 1962 its revenue of $10.8 million included $4.2 million of "pub. serv. rev.".[2]
In February 1955 Lake Central Airlines became the first employee-owned scheduled airline in the history of the air transport industry.[3] 162 employees (65% of the total) bought 97.5% of the outstanding stock, 25% outright, and the rest financed over 24 months.
Effective July 1, 1968, the airline was acquired by and merged into Allegheny Airlines. Allegheny later closed the Indianapolis base and sold the Nord 262s, which had proven unreliable.[4] Lake Central had planned on acquiring new Boeing 737-200s, but the order was cancelled.
Fleet
Lake Central flew Douglas DC-3s, Convair 340s, Convair 580s, Beechcraft Bonanzas, and Nord 262s [Lake Central's first Nord 262 was delivered in August 1965]. DC-3 flights ended in 1967, and by spring of 1968 Lake Central had an all-turboprop fleet of Convair 580s and Nord 262s.[5]
Historical fleet
Lake Central Airlines previously operated the following aircraft:[6]
8 Convair CV-340
4 Convair CV-580
1 Curtiss C-46 Commando (N1802M)
14 Douglas DC-3
5 Douglas C-47 Skytrain
3 Douglas C-53 Skytrooper
12 Nord 262A
Destinations in 1968
Shortly before the merger into Allegheny Airlines, Lake Central was serving the following cities with an all-turboprop fleet, mainly consisting of Convair 580 and Nord 262 aircraft, according to its April 28, 1968 timetable:[7]

Back when I worked for the Soo/CP they asked me for some photos for the cover of thier timetable. I gave them a bunch to choose from and the US rule team selected this one. It was published on the timetable with little fanfare. Or so I thought. I came to find out that the "Leadership" in Calgary did not like the fact the bridge said "Soo Line" on it and were upset. Heavan forbid a little nod to history. This was during the "Hey we are CP, and it will ONLY be CP" era. Hey, I didn't make the call on using the photo. I know the guy who did, and he had balls of steel. Great guy too! It blew over after a bit, and I got many great acknowledgments from other employees who liked it. To this day, I get a good laugh out of it.
It's also weird to me, to see this timetable show up on eBay from time to time. Hey, if you buy one, I'll sign it for you!

I stopped by the Amtrak station to pick up a train and bus schedule for this assignment.
The Charity movement is wonderful picking up so much that the State once did. This Charity is one which I do support because of the wonderful work they do.
The title came to me as I took the picture because none of us will dodge the end. Fortunately for me I know life does not end as we die having experienced death as a child. Fortunately, the medical team in the operation managed to get me going again. Without going into too many details, to this day I can clearly remember looking down over the lights in the operating room at an age one does not normally remember things. I was experiencing no pain or fear but just looked down. The operation was successful, but it is a miracle that I am still here.
This photography is vehicle to tell of my experiences and this picture bought it back into my mind. It does not matter in the least if you do not believe me, but the picture did provoke these memories again whether real or fantasy.
GOD BLESS THE NHS
I recently bought a new, larger bookcase to house my collection of All-Line timetables dating back to 1974. Placing them in the new bookcase, I couldn’t but help notice the traditional old-fashioned covers, which depicted the latest motive power, unlike the later versions, which avoided pictures of trains. The May 1977 edition proudly celebrates the introduction of the full high-speed timetable on the Western Region. Now that HSTs are finally being replaced by the IEP trains, it seems appropriate to share this memento from yesteryear.

A Class 114 DMU in white & blue Refurbished livery, led by E56041, is captured soon after departure from Doncaster, with a service to Sheffield, in 1978.
The old fella is looking through a magnifying glass at the country timetable at Central. Traveller or trainspotter? Reminds me of an Ealing film from the '50s.
First West of England WsM based 30012 YK25 OJB is seen approaching WsM interchange working an X1 towards Searle Cresent, wearing the press adverts from a previous showing to WECA.
Three of the traditional summer Sunday timetabled holiday trains, used mainly by day trippers from the midlands, lined up at Skegness.
Each one propelled out to the sidings after arrival, ran round and propelled back into the platforms to await it's return journey.
I travelled back to Leicester on 1M85 from platform 6.

Writing things down can certainly clear your mind and let you see things in a different, clearer way. Digital notes could never do the same for me what writing things down does!

Stagecoach 34818 (PX06 DWD) enters Brausnton with a Rugby bound D" on the first day of the timetable change. 6th November 2017
Something a little different to begin today - when most timetables returned to their normal pre-COVID levels on the 21st June, the 19 between Melton Mowbray and Nottingham didn't, instead remaining on its revised timetable for a little longer.
The long layover that the bus used to have in Melton between runs is now being utilised to cover for the 1040 25 to Stathern, and 1115 return, which was previously worked by the vehicle off the 56. (That bus now goes straight back to Grantham on a reinstated 55 journey.)
This is bringing the rather unusual sight of a full size single decker to the 25 once a day, and the largest to have worked the route so far is VDL SB200/Wright Pulsar 759, which at 11.9m long, is just a little bigger than the usual 9.5m Solo for the route!
Photographed here on Back Lane in Long Clawson, the big bus made light work of the small route, and was an enjoyable change!
First West of England Hengrove based 33110 SK19 EOX is seen leaving Temple Meads working an A1 towards Bristol Airport, 3 of these were acquired for the A1 PVR uplift and 33110 is so far the only one to enter service. Displaced in glasgow by their latest electroliners.

Loco hauled shuttle services were provided to support replacement bus services whilst the West Coast Mainline was closed for engineering. The services proved to be very popular with standing roon only on some services on a lovely Easter weekend.
60163 'Tornado' hurries across Yarm viaduct at dawn on Wednesday 27th October 2021, heading the 1Z60 07:37 Middlesbrough to Carlisle charter, without taking its timetabled stop at Yarm station, within five miles having already made up time from its six minutes late departure from Middlesbrough. 60103 'Flying Scotsman' would be in charge of the return leg between Carlisle and York in seriously wet and windy conditions, much the same as the 'A1' would later experience with this train over the 'mountain section' of the Midland route to the Border City. The Stockton & Darlington Railway also served Yarm from October 1825, and it was over two hundred years ago, on 12th February 1820, when the promoters of the S&DR first met in the George & Dragon public house, close to where this shot was taken.
