THE SKIPJACK ELSWORTH
Built in 1901, the 40-foot skipjack Elsworth is one of a handful of skipjacks remaining on the Chesapeake Bay. The Elsworth is listed among 21 skipjacks built previous to 1912 on the National Register of Historic Places. Skipjacks are the last fleet of sail-powered work boats in the United States.

Chester Cross and Rows
It's only mid afternoon but the winter light is low at the Cross in Chester.
Crosville Chester
The Chester Crosville garage was just outside the city centre ob the Liverpool Road. On this damp day there was not much to see in this view dominated by Leyland Nattionals of various kinds apart from a second-hans Bristol VR chich had come down from Scotland SMS-39H having been MRT 9 with Alexander Midland.
THE SULTANA'S MAST
The schooner Sultana is a full scale reproduction of a 1767 vessel of the same name used by the British Royal Navy to enforce the notorious “Tea Taxes” on the North American coastline in the years preceding the American Revolution. Sultana is notable as one of the most thoroughly documented vessels from the American Colonial period.
Those Ugly New Houses
Recently, I saw a photo taken from this bridge, just east of Chester station, with not a house in sight. Nowadays, the semaphore is replaced by an electric signal, bare fields replaced with filled estates and the rolling stock replaced by stock rolling (197115) towards the station.
Normality at its core
[polski opis poniżej]
As we often present here some selected photos, either some vintage analog stuff, or unique even if contemporary content, let us not forget the normality. Because some ordinary everyday railway is also a thing.
Last time Piotrek showed spring flowers, so this time some pre-springy nothing. ET22-758 with open box wagons filled with metal scrap left Warszawa Gdańska station and continues towards Warszawa Jelonki station. Now passes Koło Woods recreational area. March 18, 2023.

Czasem trzeba trochę normalności, gdyż nie zawsze musi to być symboliczny "gagar z bipą". To chyba jakaś wewnętrzna potrzeba dosłownie każdego, by pokazywać same niezwykłe rzeczy, może te bardziej niecodzienne. Więc jak siódemka - to kolorowa; jak helmut - tylko historycznie pobazgrany i tak dalej. Czasem mam wrażenie, że po Polsce jeżdżą wyłącznie lokomotywy w historycznych barwach, oglądając zbiory kolegów. Dlatego tym razem coś najbardziej zwykłego w najzwyklejszych okolicznościach: ET22-758 z węglarkami ze złomem, opuściwszy Warszawę Gdańską kieruje się w stronęstacji Warszawa Jelonki, mijając Lasek na Kole. Bez żadnej historii. 18 marca 2023 roku.
