Cahuenga Pass traffic, L.A. circa 1950

A Pacific Electric interurban returning from the San Fernando Valley travels along the median of the future Hollywood Freeway. Buses replaced the Red Cars in 1952 and more freeway lanes took over the PE right-of-way space.

new Moscow metro station design

It's rather more impressive than what you see in L.A.  This is the recently built terminus of the Moscow Red Line.  The ring looking structures have wooden seats in them.

El Paso, Texas, gasoline station from 1919

This was restored by antiques business owner Rod Davenport. The pump globes are 1940s style, though.

Duisburg, Germany, electric tram, early 20th century

At the time these were meter gauge, from 1966 they were standard gauged.  The station was then in the era of the Preussische Staats-Eisenbahn; after DR takeover, in 1934 it was replaced.

NZR DSC class switcher (shunter) model

A total of 70 of this Bo-Bo type class were built between 1958 and 1967, the first 18 of them in Britain and the rest in NZR workshops. 

While the model makes it look like they were fitted with single large headlights the DSC switchers were designed with a more modern, recessed dual-lamp setup from their introduction in 1959.

Their length was 11.7 meters (38 ft 3 in) and weight 41.1 tonnes.

This was the year before the Lyttelton line from Christchurch was dieselized so it's no wonder that it looks so grubby.  See earlier posts.  (Wilson Lythgoe pic via National Railway Museum)
