An abandoned shopping trolley in the backstreets of Thebarton, making wavy shadow lines on the corrugated iron wall.
CSX's Gauley Trolley rumbles across a churning Loop Creek, running on trackage rights over the Kanawha River Railroad. In a few minutes, after lining the switch, this train will shove down the Vaco Branch to the right, completing its run to Alloy through a couple remote miles of neat railroad.
A bunch of green plastic Woolworth Supermarket trolley huddling in a random corner, hiding from the Trolley Collector, who is coming to herd them back to the trolley bay.
A digital painting of a trolley from my tour to Jim Thorpe, PA last summer. (Best in large) HSS!
On/Off - Thank you very much for visiting and commenting! Really appreciated!
Quand on discute de tout et de rien on peut croire que tout va bien, que rien ne pourrait mal tourner.
Et généralement... C'est vrai ! Les gens ont autre chose à faire que se chamailler.
Pourtant... Le diable (aha) est dans les détails ! :o)
one way to go around DC is by riding these trolleys! they look pretty neat, with that retro look! after walking around for hours, i really wanted to get on one of these. but then again, i decided against it and moved on...
going through some DC shots i have not posted. i think there are still quite a few, so bear with me. the rest are here: www.flickr.com/photos/doctony/sets/72157600264872206/detail/
have a good night my friends! again it is almost midnight here and time for bed!!!
This abandoned tunnel is one of the hidden wonders of Fairmount Park Philadelphia. Built for the Fairmount Park trolley near Chamounix Mansion it doesn't have a name but the architecture is lovely.
On the train from Tangier to Fes, refreshments were served by a man who walked up and down the corridor with a trolley. But for most of the time he lurked at the end of the car with his mobile phone and sold snacks to passing passengers.
But the Southern Indiana Railroad (SIND) uses an old interurban right of way to deliver mostly cement cars from the Cemex plant near Speed, Indiana to the CSX interchange at Watson. Here, their re-engined ALCO S2 chugs along at a moderate pace, nearing a tree cathedral just north of Watson, Indiana.
Another large Italian 6 day tour. Eventful to say the least.

Some Coles supermarket trolleys out in the rain at a shopping centre in Brisbane. I was there for a week in October-November and the rain stopped after the second day and the weather was great after that.
Jolley Trolley passengers bask in the glow,
Sunlight streams through windows in a golden flow,
Laughter and chatter on this ride so bright,
Daytime journeys gleam with pure delight.

her stride carries her into the glow, yet her gaze falls not forward but to the trolley waiting alone at the beam’s end. the strip of light becomes a thread, binding traveler and object in a fleeting moment of quiet connection.
My Father in Law, waiting for us to meet him and go for a train ride at the National Capital Trolley Museum in Colesville, MD.. I think some people though he was a museum prop, he looks like he is the train conductor. I love the way he is dressed .. : )
Revisit of an image taken 50 years that's benefitted from a tweak in the virtual darkroom.
Class 86 electric 86012 is captured making friends with the platform trolleys at Liverpool Lime St station, while it waits on departure time with a service to London.
The TOPS numbering system was being introduced at the time and the BR fleet was in the process of receiving a number based upon the 2-digit class, followed by a 3-digit individual unit number. My notes state that the pre-TOPS number of this one was E3122.
Interestingly enough my notes also state that this was a Pullman working, although I haven't yet been able to find other evidence that this was the case. Maybe what I read as a 1A38 headcode provides a clue? Judging by the shadows, the shot was taken mid-morning.
I was traveling on a week-long London Midland Region Rover at the time, but lack of funds meant film usage was limited to a couple of transparency reels for the whole week. A shame in retrospect given the richness of the railway scene back then.
Update: Further research shows that, at the time, the 'Liverpool Pullman' had a scheduled departure from London Euston at 7.45am, with a 10.24am arrival in Lime St. The Pullman coaches sound plausible then, with 86012 attached after arrival to possibly work the empty coaching stock to Allerton for storage until the evening 6.00pm Pullman departure back to London. It seems the train never really caught the imagination of the travelling public however and the service was stopped later in the 1970s to be replaced by one with the usual Mk2 AC coaching stock.

An elderly trolley lady in Hong Kong pushes her laden carts to a nearby recycling centre in Sham Shui Po, one of the cities notable poorer neighbourhoods.
Many of Hong Kong's poorer senior citizens still scrape by through working low paid jobs on the street, pushing heavy carts around to earn as little as $6 a day in a city that ranks amongst one of the most expensive in the world for living costs.
