Today's historic photo of the day: broad gauge Redhen diesel railcar 403 on its way from Adelaide to Belair, calls at Keswick, SA, April 26 1986.

RedHen was the nickname used by railway employees and the general public alike to refer to the 300 and 400 class diesel hydraulic railcars that were the mainstay of Adelaide's suburban rail network from the 1950s until the 1990s. The 300 class were single ended, and the 400s were double-ended, meaning they could run as single car #trains as here.

Oh my. Facebook is starting to feed its AI with private, unpublished photos from your private account hosted at Facebook or Instagram server. They will probably use WhatsApp too while at it

Facebook is starting to feed its AI with private, unpublished photos

Facebook users opting to upload their photos for “cloud processing” are inadvertently giving Meta AI access to their entire camera roll, including photos that have not been uploaded to Facebook’s servers.

Looks like kerbside protected bike lanes are coming soon to Franklin Street in the city!

This is happening at least between Elizabeth and Swanston Streets. Still some third-party construction works west of Elizabeth that might hold things up in that section.
