Een moeilijk te fotograferen bediening is die bij oliezaadbedrijf ADM in de Europoort waar sojabonen worden geperst. Niet dat het bedrijf omgeven wordt door hoge muren, strenge beveiliging of vanaf de straat onzichtbaar is. Neen, het feit dat hier in de regel in de donkere uren van de dag wagens geplaatst worden is de grote spelbreker. En als het al gebeurt is dit uiterst onregelmatig, slechts zelden worden wagens binnen de poort gespot.
Niets zo grillig als het goederenvervoer per spoor. Vandaag worden juist midden op de dag wagens gewisseld bij het 8264 dagen ongevalverzuimveilige bedrijf. Dat bediening niet dagelijks plaats vindt is te zien: bij aankomst wordt allereerst de buigzaamheid van de gesloten slagboom getest en bij het uithalen van de op het rechter spoor staande sleep wagens blijkt de poort niet open te willen, de boel zit muurvast. Een druppeltje vers geperste sojabonenolie doet wonderen, het starre hekslot geeft zich uiteindelijk gewonnen en zal LTE 6409 vrije doortocht verlenen. 18 augustus 2016
The dwarf galaxy NGC 5477 and the active emission region NGC 5471 are neigbours of the famous M 101 spiral galaxy un Ursa Major.
The data were imaged with a TS Photoline 130/910 mm apo triplet and an ASI2600mm-pro.

Robinson based his mixed traffic GCR Class 9Q (LNER B7) 4-6-0 design on the passenger Lord Faringdon class (B3). The two designs shared the same frame length, boiler, and cylinders, although the B7 cylinders were more steeply inclined. The B7's wheels were smaller.
38 were built in five batches, the first four by the Great Central, classed 9Q, between 1921-4 the fifth batch by the LNER classified B7/1. The LNER ordered a final batch of ten in 1923-4. These had reduced boiler mountings and cab to conform to the new LNER composite loading gaugeand were classified B7/2.
The locos had an appetite for coal and were known as "The Colliers Friends" although in retrospect, they were Robinson's most succesful 4-6-0 design. In fairness, their coal consumption was no greater than any other mixed traffic locomotive of the time.
The B7s were particularly good at hauling the fast goods, excursion, and relief passenger work for which they were designed. Throughout their lives they were the standard type for excursion trains in the northern area of the Great Central section.
All thirty eight B7s survived into Nationalisation (1948), but after Nationalisation they were quickly replaced by Thompson B1s. The last B7 was withdrawn in 1950.
