Il "pesa" ATR220.029 di Ferrovie Emilia Romagna, allora nuovo di fabbrica era impiegato in alcune prove su rete RFI.
Tra le tante linee del nord Italia percorse, risulta anche la Verona-Rovigo, documentata in questo scatto, che può dirsi UNICO di un mezzo FER su questo tratto di linea.
Il treno, che si fermò in protezione alla stazione di Cerea, è stato fotografato al solito "Trea Point".

This is a HUGE leap in the story because this rescue mission one of the most intense rescues EVER.
Without Dr. Amsel and without Sheryl's son Ven and his amazing ATV riding skills - there is no way we could have EVER rescued her.
This chase into the desert was the craziest because she just wouldn't go down and of course we had to keep her away from the freeway.
Dr. Amsel, myself, Cheryl Roberts, Keith Roberts, Sheryl Stratton and Ven Stratton scrambled all over the desert, and it was so hard to keep up with her... it was just amazing how much strength she had in her.
I didn't even have the chance to look at the video I filmed, but I hope I captured the good parts.
After she finally went down, we had to pour cold water on her overheated body, and stabilize her before moving her to the closest hotel room so she can recover.
Of course in a place like this, the only thing we could find was a pretty scary Motel 6, but at least they were pet friendly.

Good Humor is an American brand of ice cream novelties sold from ice cream trucks as well as stores and other retail outlets. The "Good Humor Man" was a fixture in American popular culture for many decades. As late as the 1970s, the company operated 1200 "salescars". While the company sold its fleet in 1978, independent owners and operators continue this service.
Harry Burt, a Youngstown, Ohio candy maker, invented Good Humor ice cream in 1920 and was granted a patent in 1923. By then, he had outfitted twelve street vending trucks in Youngstown with rudimentary freezers and bells. By 1925, his son, Harry Burt Jr. (1900 – 1972) opened a franchise in Miami, Florida.
After Burt died in 1926, his widow sold the rights to a group of Cleveland businessmen who established Good Humor of America. Tom Brimer purchased the franchise for the Detroit territory and by 1929 opened his second plant in Chicago. When Brimer paid a 25% dividend, he caught the attention of Michael J. Meehan, a notorious Wall Street stock speculator. With Brimer’s help, Meehan purchased 75% of the company for $500,000 and quickly took the company national.
Meehan’s Good Humor Corporation of America operated in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Detroit and Chicago. There were also three major franchises: Good Humor of Baltimore/Washington operated by the Brimer family, Burt’s Good Humor operated by Harry Burt Jr. in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Good Humor of California.
The company was tremendously successful because it provided customers with an inexpensive diversion during the Depression. Jobs were scarce and Good Humor found all the employees it could use, despite an 80-hour work week and paramilitary discipline. While drivers were only paid commissions, it was not unusual for driver to clear the then princely sum of over $100 per week. The company was also successful in attracting favorable publicity by parking trucks outside of motion picture studios. Over the years, Good Humor appeared in over 200 movies. In 1950, Jack Carson starred in the feature motion picture, “The Good Humor Man.”

VALPARAISO CITY PUBLIC GRADED SCHOOL
PORTER CO., INDIANA. - {ERECTED 1871.}
TRUSTEES
A. FREEMAN, Pres.
A. E. LETTS, Treas.
T. T. MAULSBY, Sec.y
Date: 1876
Source Type: Engraving
Printer, Publisher, Photographer: Baskin, Forster & Company
Postmark: Not Applicable
Collection: Steven R. Shook
Remark: This particular site located at 305 North Franklin Avenue has been occupied by four different school buildings - Valparaiso Collegiate Institute (1861-1871), the first Central School seen in this image (1871-1903), the second Central School (1904-1938), and Central Elementary School (1938-present).
The Valparaiso Collegiate Institute was a four-room structure opened by the Presbyterians in 1861. When the Valparaiso Collegiate Institute went defunct, the school trustees for the City of Valparaiso purchased the site and buildings on it for use as a public school.
The construction of the original Central School, seen here, commenced in 1871. The general contractor for the building was Bonham and Winslow. Stone and brick was contracted to Shade and Gregg, James O'Keefe had the painting contract, and R. Rose was architect. Incidentally, R. Rose was also the architect of the Porter County jail constructed in 1870. This school building was made using more than 1,017,000 bricks and 150,000 board feet of lumber. Each quadrangle tower was 100 feet in height, and a veranda was constructed on the east side of the building. The stone steps used at the entrances were quarried from Joliet, Illinois. The structure consisted of sixteen study rooms, an intermediate floor on the second floor, and an assembly room, sometimes referred to as a chapel, measuring 64 by 36 feet in dimension and lit by four hanging chandeliers. A large restroom was also located within the building.
It has been noted that the towns of Wanatah and Wheeler could be seen from the towers without the aid of optical equipment. The school opened with an enrollment of 400 students and with William H. Banta serving as superintendent. The first Valparaiso High School class graduated from this building in 1874. This building was replaced in 1904 by the Central School Building, which was later destroyed by fire in 1938. Today, the site is occupied by the Central Elementary School.
The following news item appeared in the December 16, 1875, issue of the Porter County Vidette concerning this image:
"The pictures of the Normal, high school, and other building were drawn during the last week, designed as illustrations for the forth-coming state atlas."
