November 19, 2009 Dell Deaton

Former Ann Arbor Railroad System boxcar number 6047

There Are No Plans to Change Railroad Branch Just Off Maple Road

January 26, 2018
Some would argue that the orange railroad boxcar across from the Saline Library has settled into its place as a local fixture. Don Maddock, editor of The Ann Arbor Railroad Technical and Historical Association newsletter, recalls having photographed it here in the 1990s. You can also find many detailed markings of our boxcar documented by other individuals online, dated to April of 2010 and December of 2011. [1,2,3] But now that Saline Maple Oaks has ....

Recently Driven to “Saline Cars & Coffee” at Brewed Awakenings: 1963 Studebaker Gran Turismo Super Hawk

June 6, 2018
Thirty-three years ago, his father asked: “What are you getting that for? Why don’t you get a Camaro?” [1] “Because everybody’s got a Camaro,” John Begian answered at the time. In 1963, only forty-eight Studebaker GT models were made in this configuration, Mr Begian told Saline Journal last week during the regular “Saline Cars & Coffee” get together at Brewed Awakenings. “The Gran Turismo Hawk was called the ‘Super Hawk’ because it had the high ....

Ready or Not, Autonomous Vehicles Rolled Further Ahead This Week Toward Inevitability with Mobility for All

May 31, 2018
Less than a year ago, discussion of autonomous vehicle manufacture here in Saline seemed to be valued with little more than interest than dutiful re-posting of press release copy. A little further out and a month later, there was more talk, of a self-driving vehicle being tested for pizza delivery in Ann Arbor. But then we got clarification that it was never actually used in self-driving mode. [1,2,3,4] Fast-foward to this past January, and Saline ....

Today Americans Remember What US President Franklin D Roosevelt Called “A Date Which Will Live In Infamy”

December 7, 2018
The events of December 7, 1941 mark a monumental moment in United States history. With each passing year it seems to get increasingly difficult to find much singular agreement on the greater context of what happened that morning. Surely there were enemies, but were there villains? How much of what was coming had been known before that day and by whom? [1,2] [The] first of two waves of Japanese aircraft began their deadly attack on ....

Twenty years after fire team responses on September 11, 2001, legacy of “911” and “fundamentals” must be remembered as well

September 11, 2021
Prior to twenty years plus one day ago, reference to “911” evoked a very different sort of imagery. Popular Mechanics once suggested the opening credits of late-1980s television series Rescue 9-1-1 for reference. [1,2] On September 10, 2001, 911 was a “modern emergency apparatus” that began to take hold throughout the United States in the 1970s — thanks to the foresight and infusion of financial backing from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. For people who were here, those ....
