Classic tries to update my posts every time I post a picture of a train and it goes pear shaped, like the example below....:
Firstly my mistake, it is a LAV unit, not a HAL (they are very similar), but..... Look at the caption, it was taken in 1985!
'BR (SR) Class "930" 750v dc 3rd rail De-icing & Rail Cleaning 2-car emu No.002 (ex-No.003) in BR Rail Blue livery with all yellow front end at Bournemouth, 07/85. The set is composed of ex-SR Bulleid "4-LAV" semi-fast 4-car emu cars: on the left is car No.ADS70270 (ex-977 366 and ex-No.10497 of 4-LAV set No.2954) and on the right is car No.ADS70272 (ex-977 367, ex-No.10499 of 4-LAV set No.2955). Early Bulleid emus were a combination of Maunsell features, such as body construction, and Bulleid features, such as the all-steel cab similer to Maunsell's dome design but cleaned up (in contrast to the flat front adopted by Bulleid post war), round cornered windows (but without the characteristic Bullied top lights above the door windows of post-war designs) and improved traction motors. Scanned photograph taken with a Canon AE-1 Program.'
The truth is Classic, that nobody cares anyway.

Criterion (i): The architecture of St Catherine's Monastery, the artistic treasures that it houses, and its domestic integration into a rugged landscape combine to make it an outstanding example of human creative genius.
Criterion (iii): St Catherine's Monastery is one of the very early outstanding examples in Eastern tradition of a Christian monastic settlement located in a remote area. It demonstrates an intimate relationship between natural grandeur and spiritual commitment.
Criterion (iv): Ascetic monasticism in remote areas prevailed in the early Christian church and resulted in the establishment of monastic communities in remote places.

Please, I don't mean to be funny, but stop trying to correct things like this, I clearly know when these things were more than you, even just roughly, and if I don't always give the exact details in my post.

Better get out the way of the 'Post to 100 train'!:
And also from the U.S. of A, I bring you this rather sturdy looking electric of New Jersey Transit and later Amtrak.
I am not sure of the 'grids on the cab windows' look though:
