A dyke & her bike

In the middle of coming back from the courthouse after filing to change my legal name & sex. Note the rakish angle of the saddle; I’d hit a pothole and the silly thing slid back and down (the one good thing about this is it reminds me that I need to set up an appointment to do some additional repair work.)

Railroad picture of the day

Milw H16-66 #440 at Iron River, Michigan

Not in La Crosse (the only time I saw #550 in North La Crosse was while it was being shipped to the breakers in Milwaukee), but in iron ore service in the UP.

Milw S-12 #904 sits by the yard office in North La Crosse

A BLW S-12 in the Milwaukee’s North La Crosse yard about 3 months (I think) before I imprinted on the platonic ideal of road switchers (the 4 alco-rebuilt rsc-2m roadswitchers that frequented the area until they were sent to the breakers in 1976.)

It’s always a good day for a photo of #578

578 switches in North La Crosse
This one was taken in 1972, which was around the time I became aware of the Milw’s RSC-2ms
