On the narrow gauge 1067mm network linking the mines to the steelworks at Whyalla, South Australia, two Alco DL531s 901/904 approach Iron Baron with a train from the mine at either Iron Duke or Iron Knight - 22 December 2008.
Most of the iron ore carried on the network goes for export, with the steelworks supplied its ore via a slurry pipeline.
The two small Alcos were originally built with high hoods, but had the chop nose treatment to provide greater visibility from the cab and allow their use on one man operations.

Truck Thursday
We had some errands to run today and while we were out this Fire Truck zoomed passed us with its light flashing and siren blowing. I couldn't miss an opportunity like this!
presenza a dir poco eccezionale in quel di Brennero per la 1216.901 di RTS,che si è fatta carico di trainare il primo FLIRT per la SistemiTerritoriali-ETR342.eccolo appena arrivato dalla Svizzera

Late September 2020 saw the innovative Showbus Flyby take place between Beaconsfield M40 Services and Oxford M40 Services at Wheatley. This involved a road run passing through High Wycombe, Stokenchurch and Thame with around 65 entrants making staggered starts from both locations.
I was fortunate to enjoy the occasion on board entrant B1256, White Bus of Winkfield Alexander Dennis Enviro200 MMC 65 YY69TLX.
My photos were taken throughout the day including our initial journey to Beaconsfield for the start of the road run.
This view looks at one end of a trial portion of Babbage's Difference Engine No. 1, which is one of the earliest automatic calculators and a celebrated icon in the pre-history of the computer.
Charles Babbage was a brilliant thinker and mathematician who devised the Difference Engine to automate the production of error-free mathematical tables. In 1823 he secured £1,500 from the British government and employed an engineer to construct the device. However, the project collapsed in 1833 when the engineer left the project.
By that time the government had spent £17,000 on the project, the equivalent then of the cost of two major warships. Recent research has shown that the engineer's work was adequate to create a functioning machine and that the project actually collapsed because of economics, politics, Babbage's temperament and his style of directing the enterprise.
After the attempt at making the first difference engine fell through, Babbage worked to design a more complex machine called the Analytical Engine. The Analytical Engine marks the transition from mechanised arithmetic to fully-fledged general-purpose computation. It is largely on it that Babbage's standing as computer pioneer rests.
Ada Lovelace (Augusta Ada King-Noel, Countess of Lovelace (née Byron; 10 December 1815-27 November 1852)) was the first to recognise that the Analytical Engine had applications beyond pure calculation, and published the first algorithm (to calculate Bernoulli numbers) intended to be carried out by such a machine. As a result, she is often regarded as the first to recognise the full potential of a "computing machine" and the first computer programmer.
