NETM #16 and some cool futurisic-speeder-monorail-thing that seem to have been used at Bradley International Airport. If anyone knows about these things, please tell me.

According to Bradley International Airport's Wikipedia page:
"In 1976, an experimental monorail was completed from the terminal to a parking lot 7/10 of a mile away. The "people mover" cost US$4 million and was anticipated to cost $250,000 annually to operate. Due to the high operating cost, the monorail was never put in service and was dismantled in 1984 to make room for a new terminal building. The retired vehicles from the system are now on display at the Connecticut Trolley Museum in East Windsor, Connecticut."
To me, this appears more like a "People Mover" than a monorail.

kaw4014, thanks for the INPR shots. It reminds me I need to get out to Emmett again, although I am guessing most if not all of those are gone now. BUT there are still industries in Emmet, so there is hope.
Also on these two shots in Tillamook:

BN (Port of Tillamook Bay RR) 6115. Does this remind you of Amtrak Guy 365's (Halloween) video "The Countryside"?
https://www.google.com/maps/@45.4207...7i13312!8i6656
PTBRR 6139
https://www.google.com/maps/@45.4207...7i13312!8i6656

That giant "Quonset hut" to the side is the Tillamook Air Museum. The building itself is an old WWII blimp hangar. It is the largest clear-span wooden building in the world. There use to be two, and this one has been saved as an air museum with quite a number of interesting aircraft in there, from WWII to modern jets.

We were reading a newspaper in Newport Oregon one morning, as we were planning to head north toward Tillamook, and the paper said that the highway may be closed, as they were going to MOVE the hanger and place it OVER the highway, so you could drive through it and see all the exhibits. We were amazed and couldn't wait to go see what they were doing, but after a brief period of excitement, we realized it was the April 1st edition. :hehe:
 
A new shot from Indonesia:

https://goo.gl/maps/8uWze8tenwFBeSH99

This April 2021 shot is taken from a small road just to the north of Tambun Station in Bekasi Regency (West Java), where a 205 Series EMU (205-20) formerly operated by East Japan Railway Company on Nambu Line in Tokyo Metropolitan Area is seen here waiting for departure. While this station is still in renovation works, but everything had already went into last stage before the completion of renovation works itself.

And here is an already old shot but yet to be published here:

https://goo.gl/maps/ns7RZVHzmVgU4BKs9

This November 2018 shot featured CC206 04 (at that time owned by Semarang Poncol depot) pulling Tanjung Priok-bound container train, as the train is about to entering Bekasi station (unfortunately rear half of the train have no containers at all). The disused light signal nearby there is former westbound distant signal of Bekasi station, where this signal was used until the conversion of signal block on Bekasi to Cikarang section from closed block to open block system in 2017 (it has been replaced by repeater signal sometimes in year 2020).

That unit freight train is "Toyota Longpass Express", which is a reserved freight train regularly operated by JR Freight for transporting automobile parts produced at Toyota's factories in Chukyo Area (incl. Nagoya in Aichi Prefecture) to the company's factory in Iwate (operating under the name "Toyota Motor East Japan"). In that Streetview shot it was hauled by DC-only electric locomotive EF210-100 "Eco-Power Momotaro" of later batch (which has single-arm pantograph and IGBT-based variable frequency drive system), where this locomotive would lead the train all the way to Shin-Tsurumi Signal Station before it would be replaced by AC-DC electric locomotive EH500 "Eco-Power Kintaro" for its later part to Morioka Freight Terminal (the overhead line past Kuroiso Station changes from 1.5kV DC to 20kV 50Hz AC).
 

There is a SW1500 by where your shots were. In this photo sphere you can also see two UP engines very far out.

There is also an SD70ACE of some sort in the distance

Two MARC engines and what looks to be an AEM-7

A MARC engine, a cab car (i love these), an AEM-7 and an HHP-8 and a subway of some sort.

A P42, a switcher engine and two MARC engines which are hard to spot.

Two MARC engines and an AEM-7 (i think)

This August 2019 version of Streetview shot in front of Prajekan Sugar Refinery featured diesel loco #03 stands inside the refinery complex with a string of enclosed freight cars (probably for carrying byproduct of sugar refining process toward storage site not far from there). This sugar refinery once having large sugarcane railway network, but it seems to be largely abolished in 1990s or early 2000s due to the introduction of more flexible freight truck for carrying sugarcane to the factory.

FYI: Prajekan Sugar Refinery is not too far from the now-disused Prajekan Station of Indonesian Railways Panarukan Line, where this line was closed for traffic on December 20th, 2004 due to aging infrastructure and low ridership.
 
Your screenshots really make me think your country would really be a neat place to visit. I should very much like to visit a lot of Asian countries. I have been to the Republic of China and greatly enjoyed my stay there, but there are so many other places to see! Thanks for posting the screenshots!

You're welcome!
Although sugar plantation and refinery railway in Indonesia (particularly Java) had largely shrunken in recent years due to many factors, but thankfully a handful number in East Java are still in operation using European or Japanese-built diesel locomotive, particularly for handling mega-sized plantation area scattered in several regions. :)

This one is located near Padalarang station, taken on March this year. Unfortunately the car seems to be too late for capturing the train near the track, which became the reason why the locomotive's number is unreadable (although the locomotive itself is Bandung Depot's CC201, seen here hauling Greater Bandung Area local train from Padalarang to Cicalengka). The sticker above radiator grill itself was the ones designed for commemorating the 75th anniversary of Indonesian Railway on September 28th, 2020.
 
I would say the one in question doesn't count. ;) Technically, we have gotten away from the rules, which state that you should be able to read the numbers. But I still like the posts!
