ALCos Meet Lima On Sunday, September 27, 2026, SP 2400 was with 2409 leading a local freight passing a train lead by SP 4445, a Lima 4-8-4, SP Class GS-4. This is at the Tri-City Society of Model Engineers (TCSME) model railroad club in the historic Niles depot in Fremont, CA. My C-415 models are both English (Bowser) models. The 4445 is my son's BLI model. The real SP 2400 was an ALCo C-415, SP Class AS415-1. Reportedly: it was built in 1966 builder's number 3458-1. Sold in 1977 to Fundidora Monterrey a steel mill in Monterrey, Mexico with some other C-415s. -- iPhone 18 Pro Image Photo by Steve Sloan Please do not edit, crop, colorize, "correct" or "improve" any of my photos without asking me first.

A few more #bridge shots.

The underside of the bridge stretches into the distance over a cracked blacktop road. An old stone bridge over a much-repaired road. The other side of that bridge.

St. Joseph River Amtrak Bridge.

An iron truss bridge from the 1870s still in use today crosses a calm river, reflecting the bridge and the cloudy sky.

Just pretend it's a tree, honey. Or as we say at Omnitouch, a progress tree.

They just don't build em like this anymore...

But for real, it's the 1890s gave us so many of the impressive older buildings we see today.

The Niles station was built for the Michigan Central Railroad in 1892, and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 and on the Michigan State Register in 1992. The station was planned by architects Frederich Spier and William C. Rohns, and the extensive gardens surrounding the station were designed by John Gipner of Germany. Still in use as a passenger depot, the station has changed little from its original structure. The asymmetrically-planned coursed brownstone structure was built in the Richardsonian Romanesque style, topped by high hipped and gabled roofs. The building is divided into three sections: a 125-foot single-story hip-roofed baggage collection area connected to the main building by a 50-foot-long hip-roofed covered walkway; the lobby, dining, and smoking rooms; and the circular waiting room. The main front gabled section features an arched entrance and second-story bay window, with an apsidal extension surrounded by a veranda. Dominating the station-side façade is a 60-foot high tower housing the station’s clock, which was manufactured by Howard Brothers of Boston. The original interior featured a waiting room with a fireplace in the rounded west end, a smoking room in the center of the building and a dining room in the east end; a 44-foot by 25-foot wing street-side of the dining room contained the kitchen on the first floor and an apartment for the restaurant manager on the second floor. The most major changes have been the conversion of the kitchen and dining room into the engineering offices and signals rooms. The Amtrak ticket office takes up the former Smoking Room, and the room that was the ticket office is the men’s restroom now.

I had some time to kill waiting on my train, so found what turned out to be a nice little #divebar.

Just a converted house, linoleum floors, vinyl chairs, but darts, pool, and $2 beers. Cheap snacks. Old regulars talking shit to each other.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#michigan #niles #CharliesColonialBar #bars #beers

A nondescript old dirty white house that's a bar, namely Charlie's Colonial Bar, as indicated by the large, brightly-lit sign. A clear mug of beer sitting on a bar. Bottles line the wall behind.

Like a bridge over troubled water.

#michigan #niles #stjosephriver #river #Amtrak #railroad #bridge #clouds #cloudyday #nature #naturephotography #photography #photosky

An old railroad bridge crossing—and reflecting off of—a river under a sky full of gray clouds. A wooden fence lines a concrete slab on the bank with big concrete blocks, presumably to sit uncomfortably on.

Still technically a sidewalk.

#michigan #niles #streetphotographer #streetphotography #streetphoto #streetshots #sidewalk #powerlines #monochrome #blackandwhite #bwphotography #bwphoto #bnw #b&w #antiquephoto #photography #photosky

A cracked, uneven, and overgrown sidewalk next to a street under power lines leads down toward an old 2-story white brick building.
